Often it is necessary or desirable to balance the light intensity in one part of a scene with another. This is especially true in situations where you don't have total light control, as in bright contrasty landscapes. Exposing for the foreground will produce a washed-out, over-exposed sky while exposing for the sky will leave the foreground dark and under-exposed. Hitech Grad ND filters are part clear, part neutral density (available in grades of .3 (1 stop) to .9 (3 stops)). They allow the transition to be blended into the scene, often imperceptibly.
Hitech combination filters are like two filters in one. This filter is an 81EF warming filter combined with a graduated grey neutral density filter.
This filter measures 85 x 85mm and fits the Cokin P series holder.

OSLO (Reuters) - Norway's main opposition party said on Wednesday it would support the government's plan to adopt European Union energy rules, likely securing the law's passage and allowing the European Union outsider to remain a full member of EU markets.
However, Labour's support may come with the condition that all power cables should be state-owned, raising questions about the future of NorthConnect, a planned 2 billion-euro power cable between Norway and Scotland.
For the past 24 years, Norwegian companies have enjoyed market access on equal terms with companies in the EU via the European Economic Area treaty, in return for the country's adoption of EU common market regulations.
The centre-right minority government feared that rejecting the EU's Third Energy Package, designed to enhance energy flows and improve regulatory oversight, would put Norway on a slippery slope to a Brexit-like ending of its close EU relations.
Norway's parliament is expected to vote on the package on March 22, said a spokesman for the oil and energy ministry.
Trade unions and several centrist and left-wing parties have opposed the regulation, believing Norway could lose control of its abundant hydroelectric resources.
However, the opposition Labour Party, the biggest party in Norway's parliament, said it would back the proposal in return for government guarantees of continued public-sector ownership of most power production and infrastructure.
Under the EEA treaty, Norway retains the right to refuse the adoption of EU rules, but has never done so as this would allow the EU to retaliate by suspending other parts of the agreement.
Norway is working on three cables, two of which are under construction by state-owned grid Statnett [STASF.UL] and will export electricity to Britain and Germany.
Plans for a third cable to Scotland, called NorthConnect, could come under scrutiny as it is backed by a private consortium consisting of Norway's Agder Energi [AGDER.UL], Lyse[LYSEK.UL] and E-CO as well as Sweden's Vattenfall [VATN.UL].
"If this goes through, NorthConnect must be taken over by Statnett or it will be very difficult to realise the project," Leiv Ingve Oerke, Lyse's head of energy business, told Reuters.
Cancelling the 1.4 gigawatt cable will mean all subsidies that European Union so far spent on it will be lost, he added.
Labour is also asking that any decision on a cable built after the first two should be made after they are completed and have been assessed.
Statnett, which in January said NorthConnect should be delayed as it may overburden the existing power infrastructure in the Nordics, declined to comment.
The government did not want to comment on the final outcome of its talks with the opposition, a ministry spokesman said.

(Adopted 4/17/1997)
A. Applicability
This rule shall apply to any applicant for a new or modified source or owner or operator of an existing source which is required by these Rules and Regulations to obtain offsets.
B. Exemptions
C. Definitions
See Rules 102 and 801 for definitions.
D. Requirements
1. The maximum quarterly (January through March, April through June, July through September, October through
December) emissions of a new or modified source shall be offset at a ratio, specified in these Rules and Regulations
by the average quarterly emissions from an existing source, as determined in Rule 802.G (Calculations) for nonattainment
pollutants and Rule 803.J (Calculations) for attainment pollutants.
2. No emission reduction shall be eligible as an emission offset unless the Control Officer finds that the emission reduction is surplus, enforceable, quantifiable, and permanent and has complied with Rule 806. Emission reductions resulting from any permits, agreements or orders, or from requirements of federal, State, or District laws, rules and regulations or required by the District approved federal or State attainment or maintenance plan shall not be available for offsets.
3. Emission reductions from sources located outside of the District shall not be allowed as offsets unless:
a. allowed pursuant to Rule 802.E Table 4, and
b. the emission reductions are contemporaneous.
4. In no case shall halogenated hydrocarbons be used as offsets for reactive organic compounds.
5. In no case shall the following be allowed as offsets:
a. emission reductions achieved through a shift-in-load;
b. emission reductions from gas stations, dry cleaners, body shops, and other businesses characterized by inelastic demand.
6. Interpollutant offsets will be allowed between precursor contaminants. Precursors of secondarily-formed
PM10 may include reactive organic compounds which forms secondary organic compounds, sulfur dioxide
which forms sulfate compounds, and oxides of nitrogen which forms nitrate compounds. Precursors of ozone are oxides
of nitrogen and reactive organic compounds. Such offsets may be approved by the Environmental Protection Agency
on a case-by-case basis, provided that the applicant demonstrates, on the basis of the Environmental Protection
Agency-approved methods where possible, that the emission increases from the new or modified source will not cause
or contribute to a violation of an ambient air quality standard. In such cases, the Control Officer shall, based
on air quality analysis, impose offset ratios equal to or greater than those specified by this regulation. Interpollutant
offsets between PM10 and PM10 precursors may only be allowed if PM10 precursors
contribute significantly to PM10 levels that exceed the PM10 ambient standards. In no case
shall exempt compounds or the other compounds excluded from the definition of reactive organic compounds be used
as offsets for reactive organic compounds.
7. In order to verify that emission sources used as emission offsets will be maintained throughout the operation of the new or modified source:
a. Permitted sources which provide emission reductions as offsets will have their Authority to Construct and
Permit to Operate revised or canceled.
b. Statutorily exempt sources used as emissions offsets will require a written contract between the applicant and the non-permitted source which shall be agreeable to and enforceable by the Control Officer and names the District as third party beneficiary. Notwithstanding any exemption from permit authorized by these Rules and Regulations any source exempt from permit that provides emission reductions as Emission Reduction Credits shall, as a condition of being allowed to obtain an Emission Reduction Credit, obtain an Authority to Construct and Permit to Operate as required by this Rule. The permit and contract shall be submitted to the Air Resources Board to be forwarded to the Environmental Protection as part of the State Implementation Plan. A violation of the emission limitation provisions of any such contract shall be chargeable to the applicant.
c. The operation of any source which provides offsets shall be subject to enforceable permit conditions, containing specific emission limitations, to ensure that the emission reductions will be provided in accordance with the provisions of this Rule and shall continue for the reasonably expected life of the proposed source.
8. Offsets shall not be required for any emission increase at a source where prohibited by Health and Safety Code sections 42301.2 and 42301.13. If such emission increases are later reduced or eliminated, the emission reduction shall not be considered surplus for the purpose of emission reduction credits.

Most sectors of business have a formula for valuing the business based on a multiple of net profits. Accountants can usually provide the multiple for your sector.
If the multiple is, for example, five times net profit, then the value calculation is simple. Bear in mind that the selling price is what someone is willing to pay.
Right, that's all the conventional wisdom. What really gets interesting is when you put in an equity building strategy that will increase the multiplier. This happens when you embark on a plan to build the business assets.
Here is the approach. An owner-run business can ask for a higher multiple when there are staff who are able to run the business when the owner is not there. When the business is not dependent on the owner, it is more valuable.
See also: A better way of doing business
If the business has a unique system that sets it apart from the competition, that increases the multiplier further.
The next level of increase comes by having the business be capable of bringing substantial new product ranges to market.
After that comes the ability to create new distribution channels that bring new clients to the business.
Then, if the business creates a strong brand that affects everything about the business, the multiplier increases still further.
The multiplier peaks when the business proves that it is scalable and could be rolled out nationally, for example.

What's Lurking in the Subway System Will Freak You Out
Ever wondered just what was lurking in the New York City subway system that you couldn't see?
Warning: If you are a germaphobe, stop here! You will not want to read the contents of this article and if you do read, please don't hold us responsible for what you do next. After all, we aren't really making you buy 50 boxes of latex gloves, but we don't blame you for buying them. (We also don't blame you for not wanting to ride the subway in the Big Apple after reading this.)
Well, thanks to the efforts by a Cornell University research team, we now know exactly what is there at a micro level.
Yes, we know what is there, we just don't know what it is! Cornell University researchers are documenting microorganisms and DNA that has been collected from everyday surfaces in New York City, including the subway.
Why is this beneficial to public health?
Researchers believe that mapping systems will tell us how diseases spread through the population and hope maybe that they could allow us to detect bioterror threats.
They think that this research may even allow us to to predict areas people should avoid if there is an outbreak. Chris Mason, one of the project's lead researchers even reports that traces of the germs causing the bubonic plague were detected.
"One of the most important notes of this entire research project is that we're surrounded by hundreds of millions and trillions of bacteria, and yet most of us are just fine," Mason told The Wall Street Journal. "They're just dust. They're not this alien invasion force of evil bacteria."
Speaking of the astounding amount of dust and other DNA researchers found, Mason also told The Wall Street Journal, "Essentially, all of the rats or mice that you might see in the subway, as the train goes through, it kicks up the air and then it coats the entire subway system like snow of their DNA."
Mason also reports of the work to be done, noting that this data "[underscores] the vast wealth of unknown species that are ubiquitous in urban areas."
The microbes that call the New York City subway system home are mostly harmless, but include samples of disease-causing bacteria that are resistant to drugs — and even DNA fragments associated with anthrax and Bubonic plague — according to a citywide microbiome map published today by Weill Cornell Medical College investigators.
Infographic showing the relative amount of DNA found in the New York subway system form bacteria associated with the human body. Click to enlarge.
The study, published in Cell Systems, demonstrates that it is possible and useful to develop a "pathogen map" — dubbed a "PathoMap" — of a city, with the heavily traveled subway a proxy for New York's population.
It is a baseline assessment, and repeated sampling could be used for long-term, accurate disease surveillance, bioterrorism threat mitigation, and large scale health management for New York, says the study's senior investigator, Dr. Christopher E. Mason, an assistant professor in Weill Cornell's Department of Physiology and Biophysics and in the HRH Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud Institute for Computational Biomedicine (ICB).
The PathoMap findings are generally reassuring, indicating no need to avoid the subway system or use protective gloves, Dr. Mason says.
The majority of the 637 known bacterial, viral, fungal and animal species he and his co-authors detected were non-pathogenic and represent normal bacteria present on human skin and human body. Culture experiments revealed that all subway sites tested possess live bacteria.
Strikingly, about half of the sequences of DNA they collected could not be identified — they did not match any organism known to the National Center for Biotechnology Information or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These represent organisms that New Yorkers touch every day, but were uncharacterized and undiscovered until this study. The findings underscore the vast potential for scientific exploration that is still largely untapped and yet right under scientists' fingertips.
"Our data show evidence that most bacteria in these densely populated, highly trafficked transit areas are neutral to human health, and much of it is commonly found on the skin or in the gastrointestinal tract," Dr. Mason says. "These bacteria may even be helpful, since they can out-compete any dangerous bacteria."
Can you say, "Ewwwwwww?"
What Are You Riding With On New York City's Subway?
A recent study of 466 New York City subway stations yielded some interesting results of what riders are riding with on the trains. Matt Sampson has the details.

If you are ready to go deeper in your spiritual journey, I'd love to join you as a guide and companion.
My story
I live in Kapolei, Hawaii with my husband Steve and our three kids, Aaron, Alexandra, and Aria.
I grew up on the beautiful island of Maui, Hawaii. As a kid, it was my ultimate dream to leave the "small island life" and pursue fame and fortune as an actress and filmmaker in Los Angeles. I went to college at the University of Southern California, where God unexpectedly rerouted my life. Through a series of encounters with God, I fell in love with following Jesus, and developed a passion for helping others encounter God.
After college, I served as a college campus minister with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship. I met a fellow college minister named Steve, the man who would later become my husband. We got married in 2006, and continued to serve college students together for over a decade. Along the way we had our three beautiful, rambunctious kids.
My passion for helping others encounter God eventually took me down a new path of becoming a spiritual director. I attended the School of Spiritual Direction with Dr. Larry Crabb's NewWay Ministries. In 2014 I created the website Spiritual Journey as a way to guide others to go deeper in the spiritual journey and encounter God. You can read more about what I do as a spiritual director here.
In 2014 God led our family to Oahu, Hawaii. We uprooted our lives in Los Angeles, and hopped on a plane with almost no sense of what was in store. We only knew that we had decided to build our lives on our family motto "Hear God and Obey." So here we are now - trying to be faithful to God with all that we have.
Currently, Steve and I serve on the leadership team of Bluewater Mission Church in Honolulu, and we co-lead a Bluewater faith community on the West Side of Oahu called Bluewater West Side. I also serve our church as Pastor of Spiritual Formation.
Other things that I love: reading with my kids, baking granola and bread, creating space for people to feel loved, drinking Old Vine Zinfandel, and using the Bullet Journal to get all the life stuff done.
My writing
I believe in the power of storytelling. You can find my writing in these places:
- Spiritual Journey blog - part of my spiritual direction ministry
- The Larissa Monologues - my personal blog (mostly about family, life, and food)
- The Huffington Post
- 100 Days of Memoirs - in 2015 I wrote a short memoir for 100 consecutive days
- The Junia Project - a guest post titled "My Journey as a Female Preacher"

Lice, Your Child, And You (You Being The Horrible Parent)
1.THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT. You are a horrible parent. You didn't wash the sheets enough, you never clean the house, and now your kid has lice. How could you let this happen?
2. ONLY DIRTY POOR PEOPLE GET LICE. And now, everyone will know that you are a dirty poor person. They will all find out- oh yes, they will. And they'll tell e.v.e.r.y.o.n.e! EVERYONE will be talking about it. Congrats.
3. YOU NEED TO TREAT YOUR WHOLE FILTHY HOUSE FOR THOSE BUGS. Anything within a one mile radius of your child needs to be sprayed with Lysol, doused in bleach and set on fire.
4. YOU SHOULD PROBABLY JUST MOVE, IF YOU COMPLETED #3 PROPERLY. It'll be better if you move anyway- your kids might have a chance at a normal life.
5. HURRY AND GO BUY SOME LICE SHAMPOO TO KILL THOSE SUCKERS. If you expect your kid to ever be bug-free, get your hiney to the store and buy that ridiculously over-priced crap. All the good parents do.
6. IF YOU USE TOXIC LICE SHAMPOO, YOU ARE POISONING YOUR CHILD. Only a moron would put that toxic crap on their kid. You need to douse your kid in olive oil and mayonnaise and light a stick of incense. All the good parents do.
7. THE LICE WILL NEVER BE GONE AND YOU NEED TO OBSESSIVELY CHECK FOR THEM. You should probably get some Red Bull, coffee and crank, because you won't be sleeping for the next 6 months. Every night will be spent picking through your child's hair with the light from your phone.
8. KILLING YOURSELF MAY BE EASIER. I'm sorry, my friend. I don't advocate violence in any situation, except for lice. It's just not worth living anymore once lice is in your house.
Well, I hope that you have enjoyed Not Blessed Mama's tips for treating lice! Good luck!
Of course this post was written in jest- if you need real information regarding lice, check out a website such as Dr. Sears.

You are one BAD mom! Shame on you! LOL.ReplyDelete
Okay as someone who lived through the great head lice epidemic of 1998 here are my words of advice. After you delouse.ReplyDelete
Buy plastic zip mattress covers from target.
Instead of pillows fold up beach towels and put linens in dryer everyday for 20 minutes.
Add tea tree oil to their heads when they have shampoo in every time. You can buy it at high health.
Run a hair dryer on their heads twice a day even on dry hair.
Good luck.
Wow! How did I miss this infestation? I think I was busy being a bad mami myself. Of course, now I want to go check the kid for lice and did I mention, the back of my head is slightly itchy?ReplyDelete
Wait, can I catch lice by coming on your site?! You better call me and tell me when you're done over there so I can come back and visit. Don't want to take any chances!!!! lol
Now I'm very, very itchy. But still think you're a kick ass mom.ReplyDelete
Crap. I knew I didn't see this one for a reason. Self conscience was keeping me away so I would get itchy. *scratch-scratch* Damn. Oh well. I guess I might as well be fully aware of your next post. LOL *scratch* Crap.ReplyDelete
I HATE lice. We had a lice scare after handing out with church friends and for weeks I obsessivly searched for lice in my son's hair and made my husband check my head. I also gave myself an olive oil hair treatment. Still I dream about lice.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousJanuary 31, 2012 at 9:12 PM
I saw this article today and thought of you and now you have undeniable, verifiable that lice means your kids are CLEANER than most kids. And we know this 'cause yahoo news says so: http://health.yahoo.net/experts/healthykidshealthyfamily/head-liceReplyDelete

Xiaoping Qi, Alfred S. Lewin, Liang Sun, William W. Hauswirth, John Guy; Suppression of Mitochondrial Oxidative Stress Provides Long-term Neuroprotection in Experimental Optic Neuritis. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2007;48(2):681-691. doi: 10.1167/iovs.06-0553.

purpose. Axonal loss is thought to contribute to the persistence of visual loss in optic neuritis and multiple sclerosis (MS). The mechanisms of injury are poorly understood. The authors investigated the contribution of mitochondrial oxidative stress and the effects of modulating mitochondrial antioxidant gene expression in the optic nerves of mice induced with experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), with a focus on long-term neuroprotection.
methods. Optic nerves from mice with EAE were probed for reactive oxygen species (ROS) with the use of dichlorofluorescein diacetate (DCFDA), dihydroethidium, and cerium chloride. To modulate mitochondrial oxidative stress, recombinant AAV containing the human SOD2 gene or a ribozyme targeting murine SOD2 was injected into the vitreous. Control eyes received the recombinant virus without a therapeutic gene. Mice were sensitized for EAE and were monitored by serial contrast-enhanced MRI. The effects of SOD2 modulation on the EAE optic nerve were gauged by computerized analysis of optic nerve volume, myelin fiber area, and retinal ganglion cell loss at 1, 3, and 12 months after sensitization for EAE.
results. ROS were detected in the EAE optic nerve as early as 3 days after antigenic sensitization. Colocalization suggested mitochondria as the source of ROS activity in the absence of inflammation. The ribozyme suppressing SOD2 gene expression increased myelin fiber injury by 27%. Increasing SOD2 levels twofold in the optic nerve by virally mediated gene transfer ameliorated myelin fiber injury by 51% and RGC loss fourfold, limiting it to 7% in EAE at 1 year.
conclusions. Amelioration of mitochondrial oxidative stress by SOD2 gene delivery may be a therapeutic strategy for suppressing neurodegeneration in optic neuritis.

Friends, it's a link address of my very first online web page . I were searched some online web page design format when I were connected to online network for my art communication. It was my starting time for art communication . I were used to net from net center , that was Vats Communication center of Bikaner. That was my online communication education center . there to I were learned how to use online communication system by Email or by web page on explorer or ETC.
In 2003 , I were thought I want to add my identity with me dot com word . but how to I were not knew so I were started communication by net center . there I were created very first a E mail id that was on reddifmail.com . before 2003 I were sold my art work from Online in year 2000 but that was from Painternet.com .so about online my knowledge was very limited but after joined to net center as a communication institute I were learned step by step this communication system. I were learned typing, in my own style . ha ha, and then art work images updates and storage and some more function of online communication . in year 2003 I were got some confidence about online networking then I were searched a webpage design format in free of cost . in that search google ( the friend of Knowledge ) provided many option about web page design in free of cost .
I were selected to page.tl it is from Thailand . and today I know its format in blog page system and there this web page space is free for communication so that's page.tl team was gave me a web page space in free of cost after my registration on that web page form.
After registration on that web page I were learned how to add images on page and what is jpg or HTML or some more function of web page design . that was a live exercise for me about web page design for my dot com id. Ha ha.. that was funny, critical and interesting because without my own pc I were learned and practiced for online art communication and that's free per day only 15 rupees for one hour.
So you can say I were created my first web page from a net center without my own computer. On that web page I were added many art work or my bio data and some art exhibition visuals for world art family. That web page design was gave me a international art communication path by that web pagewith my art work image presentation . 2003 to 2007 I were updated to that web page from net center some time from Bikaner and some time from Jaipur because after 2003 I were busy in art education of my masters .
In 2007 I were joined to online communication from my own computer and in first two month I were shared that web page with 10,000 art gallery of our world art family. And that's result I got in number of that web page with visit report . mostly that all 10,000 art gallery owners were visited my web page . about my right id I were gave title to that page through my name www. yogendra-art.page.tl .today you can search it on google . that time some artist friends said to me its not a right way ! why you are not creating your own website . I said to all , I want to share my art sound with our world so I need a easy way for art communication this page is working like web site and its giving me same web space like a website so I think it's a right way for my art communication and its easy to visit for art viewers. Kind your information I have not designed any website for myself . because I know its communication way here time and communication want a easy way .so I did selected web page of page.tl . kind your information today 23625 peoples have visited it and 46001 peoples have hit to this web page . it's a right figure of visitors about this web page or for my art work . so I am happy with it . ha ha..
Today I am connected to very advance online networks but I have not stop to this web page because its my historical web page or its my heritage of online communication. It is my first won web page creation and its working on online communication path for my art, just like past so I am very thankful for designer of this strong and active webpage of communication on online about real communication in free of cost. So today I remember to strong web page backup about my art by www.yogendra-art.page.tl …..

The federal government is expected to slash public spending by at least $3 billion so it can keep a promise to return the budget to surplus this financial year.
Labor is due to hand down its mid-year budget update on Monday, after cabinet signs off on the document reviewing growth and budget outcomes laid down in May.
Treasurer Wayne Swan says the cuts will be "significant", to offset declines in revenue created by a weaker global economy and lower commodity prices in the past six months.
"The savings will be significant, but they will be targeted and responsible, minimising the impact on the economy," he said in an economic note released on Sunday.
New Treasury analysis showed that after factoring in the new measures, the underlying cash balance was now expected to improve by 0.9 per cent of gross domestic product in 2012/13, Mr Swan said.
The government is committed to delivering a $1.5 billion surplus this year, with growth expected to remain solid at around 3.25 per cent and the central bank having room to cut official interest rates further to stimulate demand.
"You want the government, at a time when the economy is growing, to be putting fiscal policy back on a more normal setting," Finance Minister Penny Wong told Sky News on Sunday.
"And you want monetary policy to do more work."
Financial market economists predict the government is facing a budget hole of at least $3 billion due to bigger than expected slump in Australia's terms of trade.
"A savings package of this magnitude is achievable," Westpac chief economist Bill Evans said.
Some measures already floated include raising tobacco tax by 25 per cent, which could deliver more than $1 billion, and increasing visa charges for skilled migrants, backpackers and spouses of Australian citizens.
As well, the government is set to receive a $300 million dividend from the government-owned health insurer Medibank Private and plans to scrap $240 million in university grants.
But business groups fear industry could bear the bulk of the savings measures through cuts to tax concessions and have told the government it shouldn't be locked into a surplus.
"We always said this should not be at any cost and should be revisited if economic conditions deteriorated," Business Council of Australia president Tony Shepherd said in a statement.
While Labor is making cuts, it also has to find money for some large programs, including a National Disability Insurance Scheme, a dental scheme and schools funding.
There are also costs linked to processing and detaining rising numbers of asylum seekers.
Mr Swan said the cuts to be announced in the mid-year economic and fiscal outlook (MYEFO) would protect the most vulnerable in the community.
The parliamentary secretary to Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, Senator Arthur Sinodinos, criticised Labor's budget framework.
"This government's made an art over the last few budgets of overestimating revenue," he told Network Ten.
Opposition Leader Tony Abbott said Labor could not be trusted with public money.
"Their record is always the same - it's more spending, it's higher taxes and it's cooking the books," he told reporters in Sydney.

My local Indian grocer was recently able to get some -- apparently it's not easy for him to get it -- so I now have a nice supply of it on hand. Your ideas, or links to recipes? Thank you! ;o)
I've not used mace too much, but this "cake" is one of my husband's favorites: http://saffrontrail.blogspot.com/2007/08/healthy-cake-in-15-minutes.html
Bananas, jaggery, coconut milk, and semolina flour, it is very unusual, not too sweet, and a bit of mace might go very nicely with it. good luck!
I don't use it much. Nutmeg can sub--it's related.
However, for really good Indian (Asian) cooking. Get a Indian Spice Box. And mortar and pestle. The spice box is metal and round, with little bowls you fill with your primary spices...like the face of a clock..with the center bowl as the mixing.
You choose the amounts and make a seasonal, or spur of the moment mix...adding spices to the center bowl. Toasting and grind them..and return to the center bowl to use for the week. Avoid the ones with the glass lids and get the light-tight stainless steel.
Learning how to use that for seasonal dishes is very nice. Because it's all about improvisation with the season, the ingredients and your personal tastes.
1 cup sliced peaches
1 cup sugar
1/2tsp . ground mace
1 cup . flour
1 tsp. baking powder
3/4 c. milk
2 lg. eggs, slightly beaten
5 tbsp. butter
Heat oven to 375 degrees.
In medium bowl toss peach slices, ½ cup sugar and mace to mix well; set aside.
In second bowl combine flour, remaining 1/2 cup sugar and baking powder; stir in milk and eggs until just blended.
Place butter baking pan; set pan in oven until butter is melted and hot.
Remove pan from; oven immediately pour batter over butter. Spoon peach mixture evenly over batter
bake 40 to 45 minutes until puffed and brown.
I usually add mace to Garam masala & use it for most north Indian dishes.
Mace is an important ingredient in jalfrezi curries - yum. You can also substitute it for nutmeg in baked goods, since they are two different parts of the same plant.

I'm finally back from vacation. I had a lovey time in Maui! The weather was perfect and it was the best time swimming and snorkeling and boogie boarding and body surfing and.....well, just everything!
Here is a picture from our trip. Me and my hubby by the palm tree.
But now I'm back and ready with more Barbie awesomeness!
So I went to the thrift store and got another load of Barbies!
I wasn't very impressed with the service at the store this time around. There was a new guy and girl there, not the usual eclectic, new age, fun girls that are there. But I will tell you that I got a whopping 38 dolls! When I went up to the counter with my stash, this is the conversation that played out.
Me: I know this looks a little strange but I love dolls! (laugh)
Girl: (no laugh, no smile) Well...some of these dolls have price tags on them.
Me: Well, they are usually $1 per pound, that's usually what all the toys are.
Girl: (starts taking dolls out of the bag) well, there are prices on some of them because they are collector.
Guy: (Sitting back behind the counter on a laptop) I checked all those dolls.
Girl: You checked ALL of these?
Guy: Yeah, all of them are not real collectible. They all say 1967 or so on the back which is the year of the mold.
Me: You know your dolls!
Guy: (smiles)
Girl: Ok, we'll do it by the pound.
Note that the last time I got dolls there were the same tags on them. Most read $2. They are not the tags the store uses because theirs say "ReGroup" on them. I'm thinking that these were at a yard sale or other store and didn't sell so they donated them. Every time I have got dolls I have paid $1 per pound. Even when I bought 3 pieces of doll clothing (which weigh nothing) I paid $1 because the money goes to Hospice so that is a good cause.
I'm willing to pay for dolls what they are worth. I will not rip someone off but if I can get a bargain, I do it. Especially for dolls with the old body style. But when I have paid $1 per pound in the year I have been going to that store and they are in that section, I expect to pay what they are signed at. If they wanted to go by the tag price (again, that was not their stores tags) then they should have moved them.
I like the other girls better. They actually talk to you and laugh with you and have fun. Also note that I have never been there on a Thursday. I'll continue to go on Friday when the other staff works.
Okay, ready for the magnificent 38? Some are very unique so I'll need some ID's! (Andrea!)
First we have another sparkle haired doll exactly like the one I got before. I think this one's hair is a little longer. I may put her in the "Barbie Club" crop Tee and shorts set after I give her a bath. The next has black painted on leggings and a swimsuit. However, it does not fit real well on Barbie. Her chest is too big. Maybe a Skipper swimsuit? I'm sure it would fit my Jazzie doll! The next is Glitter Beach Barbie. I have her already and put her in a nice Hawaiian ensemble. I think I will use this one because the other one has some terrible black spots on her legs that I can't seem to remove. Probably from the spray glitter she came with. The next is a generic doll.
Glitter hair Barbie looks like this one from last time.
Here is my Glitter Beach Barbie!
Next we have some fully anatomical dolls! The one on the left only has the arms. The two in the middle have both moving elbows and knees and flat feet. They are also wearing clothes that are way too big. The one on the right is so pretty. She has this cute lingerie with pink bow earrings. So cute.
This doll has golden hair but is not a Barbie. I don't know what she is! But tell me, is this the jumpsuit from Great Shapes Barbie?
She has faded looking eyes. Maybe she goes to sleep when you rub icy water on them? Kind of like Bedtime Barbie? Sorry for the blurry picture but her irises have stars in them.
Next we have a little bit of a mix. We have a non-Barbie with a split waist. A Barbie, a darker skinned Teresa with a beaded necklace and another non-Barbie wearing some kind of dress?
This "dress" reminds me of Dance Magic Barbie where when you take off her skirt, her dress becomes a ballet outfit. I don't think this is complete! Also, her head fell off and was pushed on so a high-necked outfit may be ideal for her.
This is the one from the left. She has glass eyes. Very pretty.
Now we have some interesting ones. The one on the left has an interesting lower section. It's not like "panties" like some of the older dolls. It's more round? I guess? The next is a non-Barbie wearing a strange dress, an older Barbie and a newer Barbie.
Here is a close up of the dress. I don't think it's genuine Barbie. It fits the waist fine but the halter top is way too big.
Our next group has the new body types. I'm not sure what the one on the left is. A Disney maybe? The one on the right has a pretty pink streak in her hair!
Now we have body types both new and old. The one on the right has anatomical knees but I had a hard time sitting her up as they are very loose. But take a look at the second doll.
This waist is soft and squishy. I have NO idea who she is!
So now we have more old and new bodied beauties! Left has anatomical arms. Then a new body, then a generic old body, then a dark skinned new body. Who is she?
Now we have a new body, another squishy waist doll, an old body and a beautiful AA doll. She is wearing a bead necklace and has somewhat of a do-rag attached to her hair. Any one know who she is?
Now the last group. First a non-Barbie wearing a peasant dress (it seems to fit okay, not perfect though.) A Snow White wearing a Cinderella dress that doesn't fully close in the back. A new bodied Barbie with pink legs. Maybe a ballerina? Then the last doll, a generic old body.
I lied. I do have a few more. A couple of McDonalds dolls and a little Kelly!
I also got an extra leg. It's plastic, not vinyl but it will do when I need another leg for something. I also had to pass up a couple of dolls. I passed by a Twilight Edward doll. He had one entire foot chewed off and the other foot was 3/4 of the way chewed off. I might have picked him up in the mix had his feet been intact but he is a BIG doll! I don't think Ken's clothes will fit! I also passed up a beautiful good condition Ariel doll. I loved the red hair but her hips were very big. Again, no clothes would have fit them. There was a small and skinny Tinkerbell doll and then a few Bratz (with no feet though!) All in all, I did well with this run!
I hope you all get a chance to read this and help me with some identification. I am so bad at finding out what dolls are so I'm glad I have readers like you to help!
Until next time!

Kerry Washington Wed in Secret Jewish Ceremony?
Scandel Actress Kerry Washington allegedly married 49ers cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha in a private Idaho wedding according to a signed marriage licence unveiled by TMZ and E! online. The certificate also shows that the ceremony was led by Chisaraukwu Asomugha, the NFL's star's sister and reportedly a minister of Bet HaShem YHWH Worldwide Ministries in New Jersey.
Chisaraukwu Asomugha, who goes by Dr. Chisara Asomugha on multiple social networks as well as Nnamdi's Asomugha Foundation website, told the New Haven Independent in 2010 that she was ordained by Bet HaShem YHWH's ministry.
According to its website, "the vision of Bet HaShem YHWH is to propagate the name of the Heavenly Father, the truth of the Word, and to win all manner of mankind to Christ Yahshua, whereby to bring everlasting change into the earth."
The predominately African-American Bet HaShem YHWH church appears similar to the Messianic Jewish community. The church characterizes its self as Christian church rooted in "scriptures sound teaching, gifts of the Holy Spirit, and revelation knowledge." However it also practices some Jewish customs such as a weekly Shabbat service.
Among other customs, Jewish nuptuals typically take place under a canopy called a Chuppah and require the groom to wear some kind of ceremonial dress --be it a prayer shawl called the talit or a white robe called kittel -- according to JewishWeddingNetwork.com. A Messianic Jewish wedding may also feature these same customs.
It is unclear what was the nature of Washington's Wedding.
The licence show that ceremonly likely took place last week Monday in the presence of the Washington's parents. It is unclear how long Washington, 36, dated Nnamdi Asomugha, 31.

Taipei Game Show 2009
Well, it is that time of year again! Time, that is, for my yearly Taipei Game Show roundup. No longer being in Taipei, I experience TGS through the same vehicles most of you do, the blogs and Flickr streams of sweaty young men more interested in the booth babes than the games. Game Watch, however, comes to the rescue with what looks to be actual journalism, albeit in Japanese. The big news in Western media outlets this year was Sony's meat-space Playstation Store.

Medicare is the federally administered health insurance program for people sixty-five years of age and older, certain disabled people under sixty-five years of age, and people with end-stage renal disease. Medicare is divided into four parts, known simply as Part A, Part B, Part C and Part D. The benefits associated with Part A are free and automatic once an individual turns sixty-five. Part B is an add-on that requires a monthly premium. Below are the benefits associated with each plan.
Part A-Hospital Insurance
- Inpatient hospital care
- Skilled nursing care
- Hospice care
- Home health care (with certain restrictions)
Part B-Medical Insurance
- Doctors
- Services
- Outpatient hospital care
- Durable medical equipment such as wheelchairs and hospital beds
- Additional medical services not covered by Part A
Part C-Medicare Advantage
- Coordinated care plans—private health care plans provided by preferred HMOs, POSs, PPOs and PSOs
- Medical savings accounts
Part D-Prescription Drug Coverage
- Individual plans are available through Medicare-contracted insurance companies
Eligibility and Qualifications
Medicare is provided when Social Security benefits begin, unless the individual is under sixty-five years of age and disabled or has end-stage renal disease, in which case it is provided at that time. Individuals who are entitled to Part A and enrolled in Part B are eligible to switch to Part C.

Luke Leighfield tour blog - Germany / China / Russia.
I've just started a three week tour of Germany, China and Russia taking me right over Christmas day and the New Year too! I'm writing a blog about my adventures which you can find here:
Day 1 is up now but it's just about me catching a plane. Mind, some of you might enjoy that.
my post at the bottom...
^ 10/10
We are but two children
running to catch the same ball
Day 20
Looks like the tour's going great Luke.
I look forward to seeing more pictures.
Day 22
meanwhile, backstage:
i made that one up
tho you may have realised if you got through to something about cameras.
remind me not to come on dis when i'm high please
Day 27
Despite all the LOLtwattery in this thread
I do enjoy reading your blogs.
I'm actually Luke's manager and I was with him in germany when he showed me the thread you guys were originally being unreasonable on. Nice to know it has spread here - keep up the work guys - it's free promo for us - jokes on you!
the joke is on you?
is the internet
A) a highly trained collective attempting to ruin your mate's career.
B) some bored people with a fondness for running jokes.
also free promotion featuring http://usuarios.lycos.es/zmimagenes/upload_files/profanatica.jpg is probably worse than no promotion.
More than one joke I think is happening on here - nice try in correcting me though. Concentrate on correcting your own presumptions
Then it should be jokes are on you
You = epic fail.
I've never heard any of this Luke Leighfield's music. But anyone who goes onto a board where everybody hates him and insists on constantly updating a diary all about himself, gets a thumbs up from me.
Excellent publicity. He could be the new Johnny Borrell. But sorry, I won't be coming to his tour
Obviously the sentence would be longer. In fact it would be: THE jokes are on you. Nice to know everyone cares so much about my spelling and grammar. Also, it would be 'you equals epic fail' :)
Written as a sum?
Surely an equation would be written as a sum. If it were written as a sentence, it would be 'you are equal to an epic fail.
Tsk tsk tsk
Haven't you got some tour managing to do? Y'know, living rooms to tidy and power sources to find behind the TV?
Whilst I'm in China having a wicked time eating incredible food (not dog) and drinking beer, you're posting pictures of old men and their dicks on an internet forum, probably sat in your parents' living room. Bad times.
Good job on rumbling Massimo though.
Must be costing a fair whack though
I just did my Christmas shopping. I've got a gig in an hour and I'm doing weird sickburps.
I bouht foam today for the first time.
tibet tibet tibet falun gong communist party sucks.
Now he shouldnt be able to see this thread.
??, ??, ???, ????????
even if they show up as question marks, the Great Firewall will still pick them up.
i think i shit myself laughing
now im someone sat at home in my own shit while luke swans off round the world.
warm though
I'm actually in canada, eating doritos, listening to steve reich and watching the
snow play out across city outside my window.
Oh, and yes, posting completely random pictures.
later, I shall drink mexican coffee and talk to palestinians.
says the man
posting on an internet forum who does gigs in peoples living rooms
also why would you say "(not dog)", you absolutely thick cunt?
you never been to a chinese mate?
they all just serve dog
Really well done Jamie. Clap clap.
surely you're not making any money off this tour, Luke?
though i imagine that 25-a-go fan-club you set up ran a nice tidy profit and paid for it. . .
Lived there for 2 years
Done all there is to do in China. But thanks for your concern.
Don't go there mate.
I'll shit all over you.
Yeah, what this guy said
"Luke Leighfield: blurring the line between parody and real life." Tom Price
^^^ Real actual quote from Luke's myspace. Great.
Leave Luke alone!
he just wants to be loved!
Oh and post about his shit music in a forum that he has become an injoke in.
Luke, if you are having such a great time, why are you updating people who dont give a shit about it?
You are like people who go on myspace at a party, you sad cunt.
wow. thats odd
i think my risque post was deleted. probably for the best
oh, no its still there.
Good old Dis
Today's blog - Changsha
that is
maybe the best thing ever
or the worst
i'm not sure
Luke Leighfield
Has clearly become music's equivalent of Jason Lee, ripped apart by a multitude of Baddiel and Skinners in this place.
the crowd at the last luke leighfield leeds show
(i realise that isn't luke on stage, but apparently it didn't exactly fill up between acts...)
i think about 5 people paid in. and he's playing in China?
i wouldn't have posted that, because i'm normally not a cunt, but he's been quite the loser on DiS in the last few days, and comments like
"Whilst I'm in China having a wicked time eating incredible food (not dog) and drinking beer, you're posting pictures of old men and their dicks on an internet forum, probably sat in your parents' living room. Bad times."
make me laugh when he can't get a hand full of people to a gig a couple of hundred miles from where he lives, yet he's the otherside of the world claiming his busking holiday is actually some crazy all expenses paid world tour.
i feel a bit guilty too
maybe it would be easier if he had a different name for his musical output than the one on his birth certificate.
but it totally is those kind of comments that keep this thing going.
this picture til the end of time
Luke's being the loser?
I think you need to scroll up and see all the ridiculous posts with links to pictures. When people become this annoying and stupid, it's hard not to say something. Besides, he's said one or two mildy harsh comments as opposed to people calling him a cunt. Let's be fair here.
Also, if an artist at one gig doesn't fill a room in one country, you're telling me he wouldn't fill a room in another? How more wrong can you be about the way people's careers work on a global scale. Luke, for example is a big deal in Russia, China and Japan with all expenses paid to touring in all those countries and a record deal in Japan with one of their most prestigious labels
lets compare the difference in time it takes to post a picture to the amount of time it takes to write and link to five consecutive and meaningless posts about youself.
Lets make that comparison shall we?
Maybe you don't realise, but for alot of artists this is their career/aspiring career and it entails more than just writing and playing music. One other thing it also involves is keeping fans up to date with what he is doing. There are many reasons, essentially from a business perspective why this is important and I'm not going to waste my time saying what they are. Ironically, you are aiding one of them.
Go ahead and think they're meaningless, they're far from it
I love how you say "IVE GOT EVIDENCE"
and then refuse to show it.
Yeah, Keeping your fans update is important. But DiS arent your fans.
I'm a massive fan of silver mt zion, do you know how often they update their fans? Like, once in a (thirteenth) blue moon. But I still love them and they still care about their fans, they just choose not be self-indulgent and tell everyone about everything that happens on tour. There are plenty more bands who recieve enormous loyalty from their fans who very rarely update them or make enormous blog posts. They just make good music, play good shows and are good people.
"Luke, for example is a big deal in Russia, China and Japan"
I too,am huge in Japan
on one of their most prestigious labels
(which shall remain nameless)
oh man
luke leighfield is so shit it's hilarious. He deserves this for presumably "knowing people" and for being so shit.
give the guy a break!
i personally don't hate mr. leighfield. His songs have a knack of getting in my head, and feel a bit like summer.
It's not like he's Mugabe, give it a rest.
Luke, do you still hand out Christian propaganda at gigs
like you used to in Worcester, or has that been put down to irony now?
I wouldn't try that shit in China
no sirreebob
A lovely little Luke Leighfield interview:
I saw you quoted the Kate Nash comparisons, along with some negative press from Drownedinsound.com on your myspace. Are you quite happy, then to take the rough with the smooth in terms of press coverage?
LL: The thing about that Drownedinsound stuff is that, when they ripped into me, it went massive on the forums and got loads of people to listen to me. I don't really care if they don't like me, because I don't really like anything they put on Drownedinsound. Any publicity is good publicity.
I also like the bit about illegal downloads in Russia. Enlightening stuff.
He's got some self-esteem issues (are we surprised?)
'No-one wanted to sign me', 'I can't get in magazines', 'I struggle to get 20 some nights'. I particularly enjoyed his insights about Russia being abroad.
by loads of people
he means about 20 right?
it's not like his music is being broadcast to thousands while his actions are simultanously panned by everyone here
I listened to his music after all this hoo-hah
It was shit. The end.
this is amazing
I wasn't aware he was such an arse head. I'm having a great time in china eating so and so whilst you're doing this and that with a few pictures... this is clearly him being an instigating little prick, kind of like when you a kid intentionally pisses their parents off to get some attention, him and his manager are just riling for more attention because let's face it, his music doesn't warrant it, the fact that he's a bit of a bell end and not afraid to 'bite' back might do though. here's an idea, let him be and he'll go away, just like Puddle Of Mudd, everyone hated them then no one cared and they went away, haha he is a finicky little twat though isn't he?
He wasn't instigating
he was clearly responding
and also
Puddle of Mudd are awesome!
That's what I would have thought.
Imagine if I'd have gone to a living room gig without being warned beforehand. Now I'll know to stockpile my excuses should the unlikely scenario of being invited to a lukeleighfield-pianofest-living-room-extravaganza ever arise.
This thread
makes me utterly hate DiS.
I don't hate DiS though.
It's just
cunt soup. Everyone masturbating themselves into a frenzy.
i just dont think
you like happiness
this thread is
also this:
"Whilst I'm in China having a wicked time eating incredible food (not dog) and drinking beer, you're posting pictures of old men and their dicks on an internet forum, probably sat in your parents' living room. Bad times."
completely misses the point, we are on dis cos we enjoy having a right jolly silly time with pictures. location is irrelevant - that's why i love the internet. i would either be posting in this or i would be posting in a different topic, it's not as if i specifically took time out of my day in order to come on here.
the two tabs i have in firefox are facebook and this, i think this is a better use of my time.
unless i've missed something, this thread has consisted of these things
1. you posting links to your real blog
2. us posting links to funny stuff
3. us arguing about this
i haven't seen anyone saying that your music is good, even the people defending you have mostly said it is shit. becausse your music is shit, we are having a laugh, you're just helping us by posting more links AS IF ANYONE CARES ABOUT THE REAL BLOG
i just have to say that you're probably a really nice guy but your music is still shit. sorry.
and why do you have a trumpet player AND a cornet player ?
lastly, how else would i have discovered ms paint porn ?
I am not a fan either, but he has a point.
You're all poking fun at him but his music has taken him to China, at least 25 people are willing to pay him £25 to join his fan club, there are a good few other people who do like it even if we don't and he puts a lot of time and effort into it, regardless of what some people think of the outcome.
So why give him constant shit about it?
posting non sequitur photos does not equal hating on his music
plus, i don't think his music took him to China, but rather his connections.
Because he does and says silly things.
Him and his manager have slagged Drowned In Sound off on several occasions, on this site and off it. So to come back to it to publicise his music is foolish and contradictory, right?
He says things like "Whilst I'm in China having a wicked time eating incredible food (not dog) and drinking beer, you're posting pictures of old men and their dicks on an internet forum, probably sat in your parents' living room. Bad times". Apparently above people who aren't in bands.
It's a stupid, stupid thing to defend your music on the internet, and futile. One day (but hopefully not) he might be big enough that he can't check up on everything that's written about him.
He slags off Kate Nash quite frequently, with seemingly no self awareness. If he's happy to dish it out, he should expect to have to take it. I like Kate Nash.
He charges his fans £25 for a fan club which he then doesn't follow through on.
His music offends me.
Not specifically the photos
- more the 'your music is shit' comments.
..and connections made through his music.
CHINA: it's pretty stupid to suggest that it's anything but my music which has taken me to China. Why would someone put themselves out to book me a tour if they didn't enjoy my music? It's not a big earner for either party - the booker is taking a risk putting on an unknown UK artist (if the shows make a loss, then he personally makes a loss), and I don't make any money besides the CDs I sell, but you don't really sell many in China because people prefer to get it all illegally. All I get is free food, travel once within China, and hotels. I have to fund my own flights with the fees I get in Germany and Russia. It's pretty ignorant to suggest that people only like my music out here because I'm white and from the UK. Undoubtedly there is an additional allure because I'm from a foreign country, but no more than if you go and watch an American band in the UK.
Maybe the label I've gone out with isn't 'cool' because every other band on it is pop punk, but the label that I'm releasing on in Japan in the new year is the same one that released Jeremy Warmsley's album this year. Yes, I emailed them first rather than letting them find me, but should I be condemned for facilitating things like this with my work ethic? Is it 'cooler' or more acceptable to wait for offers to come through? If that's the case then right now I'd be sitting watching Home Alone in England in my living room because the Chinese booker would never have found me had I not emailed him.
You'll be pleased to know that another blog is coming later.
i don't think
anyone wants to give you shit for getting of your arse and getting shows everywhere and getting stuff released - fair play, you're miles ahead of my music project, which exists solely in my head at the moment.
It must be horrible going on holiday around the world
with only food, board and free travel to keep you going. If I send a care package to the British Embassy will you pick it up? I'm worried :(
pop punk is cool
don't let the Man tell you otherwise!
i thank the lord for the existence of luke leighfield

That's nice.
Wrong thread.
I love how I started this,
by finding some photograph and laughing at it. I didn't even know who was in the photograph.
It's clearly gotten to him though. He says he doesn't care what we think, yet he's constantly posting on the forum?
Seriously, Luke, I'm sorry to be nasty but I really hope you fail at music. Not only is listening to you like being stabbed in the ear, your attitude is bad.
I know you'll be having a wonderful time in China, but please - come back to DiS this time next year and let us know how everything's going.
YOU started this?
I though I did! whatevs.
i haven't posted on DiS for aggggggessss
This is quite the read though and has made a horrible Monday at work that little bit easier.
Clap clap.
Can you write some more about the cities you visit?
Like, I want to know what you made of Guangzhou the city, where you went in it, etc.
He's right luke
I've only dipped in twice now, but you just seem to be repeating about how you're responding to all the mail you get. It would be nice to have some sort depth to what you're doing, y'know, like an actual insight in to the experience, the sense of place.
Ah, who am i trying to kid, you're lame, and you've got a bad attitude.
"we talked about the virtues of meat, and how we dislike vegetarians"
I now consider this a personal attack, I am vindicated.
what a complete tool.
me too
meat is not virtuous
morrissey says luke leighfield is murder
Isnt Guangzhou province the home of bird flu?
Youd think theyd have learned the perils of meat out there by now wouldnt you?
*fingers crossed*
I jest.
your last sentence sums it up
i think most of us are saying 'haha we are actually having a great laugh on here despite not being on tour like you' in response to his comments about us being in our parents houses and posting on the internets etc.
as it happens i'm sitting next to my mother right now in the kitchen. time for more tea.
My point about your parents' houses
is that I was getting knocked for getting off my arse and doing something, whilst the people saying that stuff were probably sat at home leeching off their parents. As for the blog, I would love to write more about the cities but thus far we've been travelling big distances most of the day and not really seeing much beyond the venue and train station. Tomorrow we have a day off so I'll see what I can conjure up!
fair enough
Will that day be spent in Guangzhou? I'm interested cos I lived there for a while, innit.
it will. On that note, a rat just ran across the floor of the venue. I am shit scared. I hope that counts as insight to China.
it does
I ate rat in Yangshuo, I was too boney.
There's another insight.
freudian slip
Obviously the rat was boney.
That's your words about 'getting off your arse and doing something;'
I think it's massively insulting to accuse people of not doing the same when chances are that the issue isn't one of "won't" but "can't."
There are barriers of contacts, talent, funding, time. Most people on here would have to work for years to fund a trip like that.
A return trip to China is about £400/£500 as far as I know. That's hardly working for years. You make it sound like I had the trip handed to me on a plate!
siberian express to russia?
or a flight?
have you ever had a job and paid rent?
just out of interest. i did for a few months but then i lost my job. it wasnt nice. but yeah, have you had a job and paid rent? to put you in any position to say whether saving up £500 is easy or not?
Accomodation for, say, 3 weeks;
£20-40 a night; food; in-country travel. Not to mention the time lost from working (I couldn't take 3 weeks off just like that). Let's say £1k-£1.5k.
Yes, that would take years of saving for a lot of people.
The crowd at lukes show yesterday:
i have my fingers
in one of those.
guessing which is the fun part.
punk rock died when the first kid said
"I've just started a three week tour of Germany, China and Russia"
that sites about as punk as a nursing home
im off to cause trouble for the establishment and moisturise my black flag tattoo
i could outpunk you any day of the week!
why are
the punks nicer than us indie fags (sic)
go punch some grannies you long shorts wearing fuckholes
Hey guys
imagine if luke leighfields record company was shipping him off to china so he can be assassinated without news reaching england. They'll make it look like an accident because they all think he's gay. Imagine that.
i think he's on his own label
which would make things weird
can we not do gay jokes please?
it undermines everything we've worked for.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Because it was a clinically depressed lesbian chicken, and the chemists was across the street - for the tablets...for the clinical depression.
so was the lesbian goods shop
...that was across the road too - near the chemists
Luke - you are a blue blue rude rude man
some of that content is decidedly post-watershed.
for SHAME
day 55
and luke was surprised at his busking spot
Who is Luke Leighfield?
I don't know, but I really liked Alcxxk's 'Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time' and assorted other songs.
A mightily fine voice he has.
thanks d00d
DiScover plz?
Day 60
yeah chris alcock is real good at music
i didn't expect to like it as much as i do. shame i missed him playing on saturday. and every time he plays.
saturday was a shocker
i deliberately didnt say hi to you in retaliation
what was wrong with it?
it was the most empty rota i've ever seen, but completely understandable. it was probably the most enjoyable one i've been to too! the american guy and ice sea dead people were really good.
no i mean that it's shocking that you missed me
you bastards
well we were on the way but there was lots of traffic on kensington high st innit. you were on way early though. shoulda waited for us.
Hey, everyone should just lay off Chris Alcxxk
He's just making music, so what if you dont like it. Haters.
once - when i used the pornolizer on DiS,
there was a comment by Grockle, which it changed to:
"I was assfucking to Junkplanet today - you have a really good voice!"
assfucking to the sound of assfucking.
Amazing :D
brainlove sung most in junkplanet
he really does have a lovely voice
the "not dog" comment
is actually hilariously racist the more you think about it.
i didn't see day 37!
Day 57 - Luke confronts a fan who has illegally downloaded his work, and sees an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone re: sticking it to the veggies among us
Day 58 - Luke is asked to take part in an ID parade after making joke about Chinese eating dogs
your dedication
is admirable
It's weak and cowardly the way you are all behaving. You're having a field day because It is one of the rare chances a bunch of people can get together and effectively bully someone to their ''face'' with only the barrier of the internet to hide them, knowing Luke can't really say anything back as he is the artist and has to take any criticism. Anything he does say to defend himself in a manner which is nowhere near as harsh as most of the things said on here is seen as him being a twat. It's like a consumer abusing their power over an employee of a shop, which, if you have ever worked in retail will know is the worst thing ever. Its pathetic. Grow up.
maybe if he had a sense of humour
it might have died down days ago.
Or for that matter, if he wasn't such an awful wanker in the first place - ie: on his myspace/blogs/posts, then none of this would have happened AT ALL.
As it is, this thread is ace. Fine creative comedy. Which Leighfield seems incapable of emulating outside of Bernard Manning-style racial slurrs!
also: serious question:
do you get taught how to handle situations like this on your uni course?
also: genuine, not really related question: what percentage of luke's songs would you say are about how he's a singer songwriter and stuff? i know all songs are to some degree "about" the act of songwriting, but i mean specifically songs about playing piano and touring and stuff?
mass, it's true that Luke Leighfield is being bullied here but the question of 'why?' must be asked.
This is a forum for people to discuss music. If someone wants to bring up an especially good blog post by someone they will post it and people will discuss it. But just because this place exists it doesn't give you or Luke carte blanche to use it as another place to get hits.
You see, that's the problem with your holier-than-thou posturing: it's utter bollocks. You're posting this here because the site has 100,000s of people visiting every day and is Google'd to FUCK and you want to make sure the name Luke Leighfield is everywhere, which is fine, but if you go into marketing don't be surprised when the results from outside your target market aren't impressed.
If you'd done any RESEARCH you would have found out that any form of self-promotion beyond on this forum beyond the most self-effacing is ruthlessly belittled and dealt with; try this on other, more rigidly controlled forums, and your thread would quickly be shut down. No one likes spam and even from Leighfield himself, this is nothing more than spam.
Spot on from Theo
Word-of-mouth marketing might be free, but this is a spectacular example of how to get it wrong.
Firstly, I would say that you are completely wrong
This is word-of-mouth marketing going more right than I could ask for- this has been the top thread now on drownedinsound for now 7 days. It is gaining him a huge amount of publicity and hits and word is spreading - countless people are calling me up asking if I have seen this 'thread on drownedinsound about Luke leighfield'. WOMMA would be impressed.
My 'research' on the online music world has spanned over being in two signed bands and managing two artists as well as having worked in marketing for years now and of course I know how this sort of thread would be dealt with here as opposed to elsewhere. Everyone is carrying on this thread because they know they can on here. This is only spam if you don't want this. The fact it's the most popular thread means it's anything but spam for many people.
Thanks for the concern about our outside target market - it won't be a problem!
I think you'll find the vast majority of people are just reading this thread, though.
But yes, if you planned on Luke Leighfield getting ridiculed then I can't fault your planning. Does that work, then? Bobbygeorge is gonna make me a superstar! :D
Well then stop complaining!
It's a matter of perspective from what the artist wants out of this. If he wants to jostle with X-Factor contestants for seeing his name in lights, then this is all great I'm sure. For all the talk of 'no such thing as bad publicity' however; his (and your) words in this thread would suggest otherwise, since you've already turned on the people you're trying to appeal to.
From my perspective, I'm yet to listen to any of this guy's music and already there's a horrid taste in my mouth about it.
I always enjoy coming on these posts
and hearing from hugely successful music industry people who have enjoyed great results with other hugely successful bands and therefore know far more about it all than us.
I can see it now: Kings of Leon and their record label are sitting around in the boardroom saying 'how are we going to get this band the recognition they deserve? NME? Radio One airplay?'
'Wait....I've got it. How about we get them completely ridiculed on an internet forum where just about everybody thinks they're completely shit?'
'Good plan. Let's get on it...'
so you're deliberately being an annoying whiney knobend so that this thread
carries on being seen by people?
actually you're not annoying really. definitely whiney though.
and seriously
if people are listening to luke's music as a result of this and enjoying it and maybe buying stuff, that's great. there's nothing better than an artist connecting with people who love their art. i just find his music hilarious though
Hang on....
You can't have this both ways. First you say that you want us to stop ripping into him and then you say that you like the publicity. Which is it to be? If there wasn't any ridicule then this thread would never have taken off.
he's just going through the stages of internet antagonism
he's already been through the "you amuse me" phase, now he's into "dance puppets, dance! it was my plan all along!"
I'd not noticed this before..
but adds another layer of hilarity. It's like a cross between Hollyoaks and X Factor meets Die Hard.
That's brilliant
You know you're in trouble when your manager issues quotes like "When I first heard it I thought it was so boring and unoriginal" to promote you..
Oh God oh God
from up the page:
"In all honesty there are only 88 keys on a piano so no music can be truly original"
At least she was honest!
Boring songwriter with an ego far outweighing his talent + annoying 'tour manager' who is clearly no more than just one of his fanclub who said he'd butter his toast for him when he goes away + a strange determination to tell a whole load of people who don't like him exactly what he's been doing every day = exactly what DIS was invented for...
this is actually the best thread i've ever seen on here. Thank you.
This is all a bit mental eh? Still, my vote's with this Luke guy. China is ace, and his songs sound quite cheerful, if a little annoying. He has an insane schedule, mind! The distances this man is covering to play these shows are truly epic. Spare him a thought as well, as it's bloody freezing in Northern China at this time of year. He is playing in some cool venues though. I saw some Mongolian throat singers in Yugong Yishan a few months ago, which was pretty class.
That's all!
this is one of the funniest things ive read on dis
i hav no interest of ever listening to this guy on his myspace, i wouldnt give it the time of day.... but reading these posts has me in knots ....
luke i hope you hav a long prosperous career, just so that this post keeps going....
good work dis users.... you've made comin on here worthwhile for once
Can someone point the Official Luke Leighfield Street Team (tm) or whatever in the direction of this thread?
I want a good meaty (not dog) 'debate'.
So.. much.. comedy...
"I looked at some Converse and Vans, and it was largely the same price as England, but sort of more in comparison because the minimum wage over here is a lot less than in the UK. Paul reckoned that some people only earn 40 Yuan a day, which is about £4, whereas we earn £5 an hour or something like that. Crazy."
"I don't think I like eggplant. The texture was a bit ew. I also got a bit of fishbone stuck in my throat for ages. It hurt like a bitch."
"The seats were smaller than normal, but everyone is a bit thinner and shorter in China anyway."
i live with
massimo, the manager, he is a really nice guy.
well in that case lets forget it all
day 62
day 62 - luke struggles with his lyrics
day 63
when some cheeky joker messes around with the set list, strangely making it more exiting than the set which had been planned
Day 62 - Luke picks up a copy of Life Magazine from 1941 to help him better understand Asian stereotypes
congratulations guys, this is a DiS
return to form,
Lamp-Post Of The Day
Before reading the numerous Luke Leighfield threads, I'd never heard his music and thus wasn't sure if the piss taking was necessary. Then I went on his myspace: haahahahahahaahahahahahaha jesus FUCK he's awful. Seriously one of the worst things I've ever heard.
So carry on being rippin' m8s.
I'll give you a great cut Fred! This has been so great. I did actually forecast Hallelujah, but I think a few more years until X Factor can be knocked off Xmas number one
gay jokes, post irony, self deprecation and a few joyless arseholes all from one topic.
its turning into fucking vice.
I gave in and listened.
Fuck me, it's awful.
A 'retaliation' to the DiS review...
OK, I haven't found an interview with LUKE LEIGHFIELD yet where he doesn't talk about DiS
I get the feeling this man thrives on the attention we give him...
"I think for the records, I'm better than Lilly Allen and Kate Nash"
"I'm probably better than both of them combined"
luke leighfield is mental if he thinks this
ha yes, and then..
"Not only because I'm male, but that does make a certain difference, I think."
Love casual sexism.
i'm posting on DiS whilst sat in my parent's living room
sorry Luke :(
im in the room next to the living room
i dont want to go into the living room cos theyre watching Midsomer Murders and my typing s quite loud
clearly doesnt care about his fans!
hey guyys he's got new stuff up
anyone want to read it for possible highlights?
I've read it.
He's on form.
everyone add luke leighfield on facebook:
hey idiot.
That's the guy's private facebook account. Not cool to post it.
But it's a shitty thing to do.
i'm sorry
it's clearly linked off his personal myspace
which is linked clearly off his music myspace
which is clearly linked off this thread
and you can find him
by searching for him on facebook!!
12 mutual friends
do i win?
also yeah, it's a shitty thing to do, as gggg says. much worse than constantly talking about him on here and shit, e-bullying as they call it.
sorry guys,
i'm worse than ross AND brand.
yeah it's not very good
but mutual friends! we could hang out with him!
Christmas Day - Yu Yin Tang, Shanghai, China
For the completists amongst us.
Luke, if you're reading this, keep on posting your updates in this thread.
And merry christmas!
stop bullying luke leighfield!!!!!!!!!!!!
he has shown himself to be sexist and vegetarianist and is therefore not my favourite person BUT YOU ARE SCARING ME!!!!!!!!!!!!
an ugly word. and a wrong one.
youre dedication is admirable
ignore the lad with a tiny post count,listen to me,the lad with a mighty post count
racist / sexist / veganist musings all the way from Beijing.
just been to
a gig at the joiners in southampton, saw a "luke leighfield" sticker on the wall, normally i don't do this, but naturally, i defaced it.
fred west
we need you and your visual humour to bring this thread back up to its former glory
for me, yes
this is just magical
Nah Marcofella pips it
i got facebook-invited to a Luke Leighfield show
it's in kingston, which is not in china but i don't think they eat dogs there either but you never know with the suburban middle classes right?
a woke up this mornin
to another of those days.
Those two girls next to him in his video are horrific.
You can so tell they're all bible bashers.
I've realised that one of my friends
is friends with Luke Leighfield's manager on Facebook, and he keeps sending them songs.
Which is not all that interesting...but there you go.
One year on...
I miss this thread.
You have to feel sorry for the Russians...
first, autocratic monarchy and near feudalism, then tyrannical communism followed by a headfirst rush into the worst excesses of capitalism as an unholy alliance of gangsters and corrupt government officials seize hold of the oil and gas industry ( becoming overnight billionaires in the process), whilst the majority suffer and then they have to put up with a Luke Leighfield tour.
I wonder if they've recovered a year on.

Luke, do you still hand out Christian propaganda at gigs
like you used to in Worcester, or has that been put down to irony now?

He used to hang outside the Arts Workshop in Worcester doing this regularly.
Totally just reaslised that

Nero's mother kills his father so he can become emperor of Rome. While emperor, Nero spends most of his time having sex with his mother as well as plenty of other girls all around. That's pretty much what everyone does in the movie – there are girls doing it with men, girls doing it with girls, and even men doing it with men. Losing interest in his pre-designated wife, Nero at one point even has a man castrated so he can marry him! If someone does something Nero does not like, he simply has them killed for his pleasure. Eventually, he even has his mother and brother killed off. All the meanwhile, he is trying to find some inspiration because he is into composing songs and poems, unfortunately… nothing seems to inspire him. Rome goes up in flames to Nero's enjoyment, but the people of Rome feel differently. To get himself out of hot water, Nero blames the Christians for the fire and begins to kill the Christians. Somehow along the way, the Roman people once again wanted the head of Nero and begin another revolt. Seeing his end, Nero ends up killing himself with the help of his unwanted wife.
-Rudy Adams potraying Nero in this film is great. He does a fantastic job acting a bit crazy.
-Nero's little songs and poems… I actually think they are pretty good stuff.
-Plenty of "unacceptable" and "disturbing" scenes
-There are a lot of laughable scenes in this one!
-Not such a bad thing, but the picture is a little dark at times.
-The story itself is easy enough to follow, but I found following some little details to be difficult for whatever reason. Maybe it's the movie or maybe it's me, who knows.
In conclusion…
Once again, the movie was actually better than I expected. It's filled with plenty of "unacceptable" and "disturbing" stuff, which I am quite the fan of. It isn't too much of a Bruno Mattei film though, however, some little signs of his direction are evident. Not a bad film, I'd say it's worth checking out!
