Touchdown in Chaotic, Exotic Nepal

No one taking a daytime flight into Nepal should miss the jaw-dropping sight of the Himalayas along the northern horizon. In the Bangkok Airport my daughter and I requested window seats on the right side of the plane in hopes of seeing the massive peaks.

TIP: Arrive at the airport early to snag a window seat. Pre-assigned seats are not given before the day of departure for many short flights in Asia.

JC, my 19-year-old daughter, and I flew over the flat, checkered plains of the lowland Teri area, then over the ochre-red farmlands that melted into the plunging flanks of the first mountain range, sliced by deep gorges of turbulent Himalayan rivers. In the distance the snow-capped Himalayas soared to unbelievable heights. As we approached Kathmandu Valley tiny terraced fields blazing with yellow mustard ringed the steep hills. And nowhere did we see roads!!!

For me, that’s part of Nepal’s charm; it is largely without roads. Access to the interior – its villages and valleys, its mountains and hills – is by ancient foot trails on old trade routes, filled with villagers going about their daily life. Kathmandu is another scenario – crowded roads, twisted lanes, chaos, traffic jams, and choking pollution. And we did suffer from the air pollution in Kathmandu.

TIP: To soothe your dry, irritated eyes, always pack a small bottle of liquid tears or saline solution in your carry-on bag. The dry air during long plane flights as well as the smoky pollution in Asian cities is tough on your eyes. Lemon drops or hard candies soothe irritated throats.

Why would we go to the Himalayas in January when it’s cold and it’s not trekking season? (March-April and October-December are the best months for hiking). But the purpose of our trip wasn’t long hikes. We came to Nepal to visit a friend, and learn about her work with impoverished Nepalese children. We planned to visit children’s homes and a nutritional center and getting to know the kids personally in addition to seeing the sights around the Kathmandu Valley. And we hoped to take a short trip to the rim of the valley to see sunrise over the mountains and trek for two days.

Since my first trip to Nepal in 1983, when I spent 5 months trekking the most popular trails in the Everest, Annapurna and Langtang areas, I have been lucky enough to returned to Nepal 7 times. As the wheels of the Thai airplane touched down at the Kathmandu Airport, my arms were tingling with excitement and my heart was pacing. I wanted to squeal with excitement but I contained my enthusiasm to avoid embarrassing my teenage daughter. My dream was coming true — to return to Nepal with one of my daughters. I hoped she would love Nepal as much as I love this tiny Himalayan Kingdom. She has read my stories about meeting my husband (her dad) at the Kathmandu Guest House, climbing Island Peak (20,000’ in the Everest Area), and engaging with the open-hearted warmth of the people. During her childhood several Sherpa friends have stayed with us in California.

Welcome to Nepal! The electricity in the Arrival Hall of the airport was off for a few hours (every neighborhood in the city has fixed times, several days each week, when the power is turned off). As we waited for our luggage JC tracked down the unheated ladies restroom, but decided to pass, since it was pitch black and less than inviting.

TIP: Always use the airplane bathroom before landing and stuff some tissues in your pocket for the next toilet break. You never know what lies ahead.

As we descended from the cold, gloomy terminal, we caught a glimpse of our white-haired friend Olga, bundled in a puffy indigo-blue parka waving to us. Olga, who has been a girlfriend for many years, was the inspiration for our trip halfway across the globe. After retirement from the legal profession working for the State Supreme Court, Olga fell in love with the children of Nepal and founded NYOF (Nepal Youth Opportunity Foundation, www.nyof.org ), a non-profit to help educate, feed, house and liberate Nepalese children. My next blog entry will tell more about her efforts to free girls from bondage and tales of our experiences in Kathmandu and beyond.

Can you solve The Saint Valentine’s Day Murder?

Tomorrow night sees The Saint Valentine’s Day Murder open at the Lost Theatre in Wandsworth, this time as a fully-fledged stage production.

Written by Monster Hunter Peter Davis for the Wireless Theatre Company a couple of years ago, we first performed this as a live audio recording to acclaim from both Remote Goat and Fringe Report, so I was happy to take on the role of Jean Pierre le Poulet once again when Peter decided to revive it.Image

Set at a speed dating event for matchmaking website, the evening takes a nasty turn when one of the members is murdered. Can the great detective Jean Pierre le Poulet get to the bottom of the situation before another date ends is tragedy?

The Saint Valentine’s Day Murder is a fun, fast past comedy mystery which Fringe Report described as ‘Brilliantly written, directed and acted, and very very funny.’ Why not check it out?

14TH – 18TH February

Lost Theatre, 208 Wandsworth Rd.

Tickets: £10/£8 concession

2013 Update

Gosh, it’s been a while since I updated this. Apologies. I must do better this year. With more
Monster Hunters, Series 2 of Wireless Theatre’s Springheel’d Jack and a new staging of The St. Valentine’s Day Murder coming up, I might have a bit more to write about.

We’ve got two new episodes of The Monster Hunters currently available and they’re both ‘special’ episodes. The first, Taste the Scars of Orloff, was released for Halloween and sees Roy and Lorrimer facing off against their arch enemy Count Orloff.

The intention for this one was to make it a big block-buster of an episode, one that would see our heroes on the run. In true 70s action tradition, they have to jump through or out of as much
property as possible. Special mention must go to Simon Kane, who plays both Sir Maxwell, the Monster Hunters’ boss, and Count Orloff, sometimes at the same time.

Our final episode of the year was the Christmas special, The Haunting of Roy Steel. We wanted this to be a contrast to the Halloween episode and being Christmas, a gothic-y ghost story seemed to be the order of the day. The idea of presenting Roy with a woman from his past came to me pretty early while we were producing series one and I was glad Peter was so up for doing it. I really wanted us to explore Roy a bit deeper and see what happens when you take away some of the bluster. Fear not though, I’m sure he’ll be back at full strength again pretty soon.

You can download these episodes for free from iTunes and from The new series starts recording in February so expect more Monster Hunting news in due course.

Way back at the start of 2012, I was thrilled to play a few little parts in the second and third series of Gareth Parker and Robert Valentine’s award winning Springheel’d Jack saga. I had a really great day in the studio, working with some fantastic actors. I’m pleased to say that the second series is due out very soon. The first series is still available (I’m not in it. It’s still good though.) at the Wireless Theatre Company’s website.

For arguments sake

‘I don’t fucking care,’ he yelled. I knew he didn’t care, so why did his words create such a sharp pain, that slowly spread, making me feel numb?
Maybe that was the moment that I realised. The moment when things became clear. He really didn’t care. Not what strangers thought of him, not what friends thought of him. He didn’t even care what I thought. His lack of caring was so transparent now. So evidently obvious. He didn’t care, about anything, and I, like everything else fell into that category.

A small part of me had secretly hoped that maybe, just maybe this was a mask. He had to care right? Everyone, no matter how tough, cared about something or someone.
Well, the exception perhaps being psychopaths. They are Biologically wired in such a way that it wasn’t physically possible for them to care. And these people have a breaking point, a trigger, something that pulls them away from the restraints of civilisation and the rules and laws, that keep us safe, that keep us human.

Criminal investigation units create profiles on these people. They know what they are capable of, their limits and their triggers. But without a profile these people can be time bombs.

I felt numb from head to toe, with four little words, I had created a monster in my head. The careless man before me had gone from being a major jerk to a potential mass murderer.

But I composed myself, brushed the thought to one side and looked him in the eye. ‘Well I don’t fucking care either,’ I replied, ‘just bloody pick, Macdonalds or KFC…’

So okay, perhaps the numbness had been caused by hunger but nevertheless, I’m creating a profile, just in case.

Garden Thyme-The Iris Legacy

I finally started paying attention to my neglected Irises. This is a transgression on my part when considered from where most of them originated. They came from my mother. The Irises have been tenacious and hung on until I could come back to them. Well, I am back and they and I are working together to create something beautiful.
I have a vague childhood memory of my mom bringing a grocery bag of Irises back from a trip to her mother’s. There is a good chance that she brought some of those to me. I planted new Irises this past fall so I could possibly now be in charge of a three generation Iris garden.

Garden Thyme-Alliums

The decorative onions. They remind me of sparklers, Mother Nature's sparklers. It's a good thing they look great because they smell, well, like an onion.

2016 Geocaching Predictions

touch-icon-192x192I am going to go out on a limb and make my predictions for what I think we will see in the world of geocaching for 2016. Hopefully in about 366 days from now (it’s a leap year) I will have some of these right. Either that or I will be able to laugh uproariously at my complete ineptitude. These predictions are what I see happening in the sport obsession game of geocaching and do not necessarily have anything to do with my plans for caching in 2016.

  1. Challenges – will be back after the moratorium with their own icon and will require some type of automated checker like the one being used by project-gc currently.
  2. USA’s first GIGA – will occur in Denver this summer. I am allowing my personal hopes to cloud this one but that’s OK because this is my list
  3. Wherigo – will either get a significant tech overhaul (or go away)
  4. Permission – bomb scares and legal issues will cause groundspeak to tighten the restriction on cache owners actually obtaining permission to place caches.
  5. App updates – the old ($10) geocaching app by groundspeak will all but disappear as new improvements are made to the “Intro” app
  6. Virtual Reality – or augmented reality will emerge and fail in the geocaching market. Many geeks, including me, are dying to see what will happen when the augmented reality folks jump into geocaching but I say we are just not there yet and this year it will fizzle
  7. Gadget caches – we will see an explosion of gadget caches, or at the least higher quality caches this year. I think we are slowly reaching critical mass for fire and forget cachers and cachers. I believe we will see a the trend start to swing back the other way. Again, this may be clouded by my own hopes but – my list.
  8. Periscope – or another video broadcasting service will rise in popularity and then level off. The rise will be due to more services like AppleTV getting on board. The level off will be because our game tends to attract many more loners than extroverts.
  9. 1 Million in USA – we wil see the 1 millionth geocache in the USA. Groundspeak will do a promotional bit for it but after all the hoopla it will end up being an LPC or at least a run of the mill traditional cache.
  10. 3 Millionth cache – we will also see the 3 millionth geocache placed in the world. This is not much of a surprise with our current rate of new caches but I am going to also predict where it will be. I am calling it now – Germany.
  11. New Event Icon – my last one, I think Groundspeak will create a new type of event this year to replace the block party. I have no idea what this will look like but I just can’t imagine that they will leave a Block Party shaped void.

7 thoughts on “2016 Geocaching Predictions

  1. Can you say more about the virtual reality? I think you’re probably right that if it were to come out this year and be applied to geocaching, it would fizzle, but what would be the goals of it, if it didn’t fizzle?

    1. I think the virtual reality will take more of the form of augmented reality. I believe there will be a time we will “look through” our phones and see things layered over the real world. The applications of this on geocaching are endless with puzzles alone. I could imagine a monster or character coming out from behind a tree. This character could talk to you and give you a story. You could play a tune on a sidewalk. Press certain brick on a wall to open an imaginary lock. The whole Alice and Wonderland theme also comes to mind. I’m no expert with the tech but I see the possibilities for sure.

Fun Exercise Classes to Try in Boston - fun exercises to try in Boston

Before heading off to Turkey, I bought a class pass package of 6, which allows you to try any classes up to two times for a specific studio with a time frame of 2 weeks. When I bought it, they had a deal for only $30 for the 2 weeks. I only had about a week and a few days to use, so I had to get it all in before I left. This led me to try a new studio every day for 5 days straight.

My body hated me by the end of it, but I sure did step up my endurance and strength by the end of it. I think out of the 6 places I tried, there was only one of them that wasn’t my jam, which did not make it on my list below.

Group exercise classes are great in that they allow you to push harder and motivate you to keep pace with everyone else in the room. When you head to the gym yourself, most often than not, you tend to get lazy and don’t really get a good work out in — if you are anything like me. With these classes, you can guarantee a good workout and great results in no time!

Here are fun classes to try in Boston, in order of my liking:

  1. Turnstyle – South End

This is easily now my favorite place ever. Guys, I am genuinely really excited to go back to this studio. I am so obsessed. I usually don’t like spending money on classes as I believe they are overly priced, but this place has my heart. Since I had a deal with Class Pass, I didn’t feel guilty about spending the money, but regardless, I am hooked and will surely buy a package with Turnstyle.

Turnstyle is a cycling studio with other types of exercises available, such as boot camp. I tried cycling two or three other times at different studios, but never really got into it. I didn’t really feel that it was effective nor did I find it enjoyable. This place has got it figured out! The seats were super comfy and this was a serious sweat inducing work out! It’s of course as effective as you make it. It’s so much fun perhaps due to the music, which is great. When I went, the playlist was Drake, Rihanna and Justin Bieber, which worked out for me perfectly. They have other combinations you can choose from and go to the class that you’d think you’d enjoy the music the most. It’s also a super fun environment. I ended up trying their boot camp class as well and once again the music was SO on point. The genre was hip-hop, which tends to get me going when I want to do an intense workout. It was very motivating and so much fun.

Side note, the class wasn’t easy at all and I was hurting for days, but I guess you guys already might’ve guessed that 🙂 They also have a free class for any friend you refer, so if you decide to try this studio and want to give my name, I would forever be grateful 🙂

2. Burn – South End (2 Locations)

The first location I tried was on Columbus ave, which is a small studio, albeit still a wonderful studio. The first floor is where the exercises are done, and the basement is where they have changing rooms and lockers. They only have one shower and it’s upstairs, which is a bit inconvenient. The class I tried with this studio was a boot camp style class. It was so much fun….or as much fun as a boot camp class can be. It was a full body work out and by the end of it — my whole body was shaking. This one definitely had me in full “mind over matter” mode, but regardless of the mentality part, it seriously was a fun class. The second location is on Boylston Street, right across from the Prudential. This location is bigger and a little nicer. With this studio, I tried a yoga boot-camp style class. By this time, my body couldn’t handle a hard workout as I did 5 days of new classes, so this was perfect for me. It’s effective and not as intense.

3. Swet Studio – South End

This was a really cool studio with a really awesome vibe. This one is located on Tremont Street and close to Turnstyle. They have aerial yoga, rowing and meditation classes. I tried the rowing abs class, which was a nice effective workout without feeling like I was going to die. I’ve never tried rowing before so it was cool to incorporate that into the exercise. I will have to go back to this studio to try their hammock exercises!

4. TITLE Boxing – Newbury Street

Okay, I am also obsessed with this place. It’s a nice little gem on Newbury Street. They have other location and one of them being in Somerville which is fairly new. It is technically a gym, but their kickboxing/boxing classes are the main attraction. They have great music, which on my book is a check plus. It’s also intense, but fun. I tried the kickboxing class and by the end of it, I was punching and kicking so hard that I really impressed myself. This class I think is great for when you want to prove to yourself that you are so much stronger than you think 🙂

5. Barry’s Bootcamp – Financial District

I’m sure many people know of how great Barry’s workouts are, but I didn’t think it would be right if it didn’t make my list. This is one of those classes that you can take to start off a good fitness regime. The classes are intense to say the least, but it pushes you really to your fullest potential — fitness wise. This is great for any levels because it’s really what you make it. You can choose to push yourself as hard or as little as you want. The classes are in sets of two. One group does a set on the treadmill and the other does strength training, then you keep switching. I would suggest this to anyone who has a membership to any gym, but has been stuck in a rut of doing the same thing or not being able to push yourself because you’ve gotten a bit lazy. Barry’s will push you to your limits!

That’s all for my list! Let me know if you try any of them, and always remember:

“You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think, and loved more than you know.”

Thank you for your time.

A new player in Enterprise Mobility Management

Systems Manager Enterprise provides comprehensive enterprise security while integrating into your network like never before

Today we are excited to announce Systems Manager Enterprise, a brand new addition to the Cisco Meraki product lineup. This cloud-based enterprise mobility management (EMM) solution packs a whirlwind of features encompassing device enrollment, provisioning, monitoring, and security. Here is a quick snapshot of some of the new features.

  • Network policy integration – streamlines security policies from client devices to wireless access point, switch, and security appliance configurations
  • Mobile data security – allows for a clean separation of enterprise data and personal data
  • Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) integration – allows Systems Manager to directly communicate with ISE for device enrollment and posture assessment
  • Seamless user enrollment – ties people to their devices by integrating enrollment with Active Directory
  • Samsung Knox integration – allows for greater functionality across android devices
  • 24/7 phone and email support

Systems Manager Enterprise has a unique advantage given that Cisco Meraki not only offers mobility management but also an end–to–end networking solution. Unlike other products that add on to an existing networking solution, Systems Manager Enterprise is built on the same platform that is used to power wireless access points, switches, and security appliances. This advantage enables Systems Manager Enterprise to communicate with the network, providing a truly seamless policy management experience for administrators from the networking infrastructure all the way to personal devices. Let’s take a look at how Systems Manager takes into account security compliance, geofencing, and user identity in order to dynamically apply policies to the device and to the network.

Security Compliance

Systems Manager Enterprise has rich visibility into managed devices from client health, to geofencing location, and most importantly, their security posture. Security compliance checks whether devices are encrypted, locked, jailbroken, and more before dynamically assigning device settings, apps, and content. Below, the ‘Guest’ policy requires that devices have antivirus software running, and antispyware installed.

Security Compliance

Administrators can define any number of security policies based on the needs of their various user groups. In the example below, policies have been created for BYOD, Guest, and Secure devices, each with differing requirements.

Apply security policies to Systems Manager profiles

Once policies are defined, they are linked to Systems Manager profiles, which define device restrictions, network settings, content, and more. In the example below, the ‘Exchange’ profile pushes out Exchange settings, and admins can ensure that these settings are only pushed out to Secure-compliant devices.

Apply Systems Manager profiles to the network

Finally, these policies go one step further by integrating with the network group policies. Network group policies define everything from VLANs to firewall rules and content filtering policies. The example below shows a ‘Corporate’ group policy with a layer 3 firewall rule allowing access to corporate resources.

Prior to Systems Manager Enterprise, administrators needed to keep track of which users and devices met security requirements before granting access to LAN resources. Systems Manager Enterprise allows group policies to be dynamically applied to the network, the same way we can dynamically push content and settings to devices within Systems Manager.

The example below is of the ‘San Francisco – Security Appliance’ network. The group policies have been applied to Systems Manager devices and are given a priority, similar to creating access control lists on a firewall. If Systems Manager devices are ‘secure-compliant’ then the ‘Corporate’ group policy from above will be applied. Next, they will receive the BYOD policy if they are tagged with ‘BYOD’. And lastly, if devices are ‘secure-violating’ then they will receive the ‘remediation’ group policy.

In this manner, administrators can easily apply network access, content, and device restrictions to compliant devices, and remove the same settings from violating devices. With this seamless flow and communication from device to network, enterprise security can be achieved without massive expenditure and load placed on IT teams.

For complete details on network integration and other Systems Manager Enterprise features, check out the product page and the datasheet. We will also be hosting a special webinar where we will take a deep dive into the product and give a live demo of some of the new features. Systems Manager Standard continues to be free for new and existing customers, and to try out Systems Manager Enterprise, sign up for a free 30 day free trial today.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the ‘Michael Jackson doubles’ tag.

Navi is Michael Jackson’s Number 1 impersonator who resides in Essex, United Kingdom. He is known as the No 1 MJ impersonator throughout the world, and was even PAID by Michael Jackson previously to act as his decoy.

One news report even states that “Navi was a close friend of Michael’s and met him several times”.

( you can read the article here

Michael Jackson is to the left and Navi is on the right in the image below.

I wonder if Navi’s role while being employed by Michael Jackson was only that of a “Decoy”, and how many other impersonators Michael Jackson actually employed? No wonder his living expenses were so high, he probably was blackmailed a lot. I am surprised though that Media never really made an effort to find out more about Michael’s impersonators and doubles that he so obviously employed, or perhaps they never noticed?

Meet another impostor or double for Michael Jackson:

Look at his Right Hand – do you notice the beauty spot?

Here is Michael Jackson during his childhood – look at the right hand, there is NO beauty spot.

Here he is again in the 90’s – still NO beauty spot on right hand:

Zoomed in for clarity:

And NEITHER was the beauty spot present at the O2 Concert Announcements.

Never before have I seen a transient beauty spot which shows up on one occasion, and is certainly not present during childhood or at the other time points.  Congratulations on having deceived the world again yet again Michael Jackson.

The question that many are asking is ‘Did Michael Jackson have doubles?’

Take a good look at this picture:

First look at the texture of the skin – it appears extremely smooth. You can’t see any blemishes or even facial hair. Now look at the neck…do you see the sharp distinction between the actual neck and the plastic mask?

Its very clear that whoever is photographed in this picture, is actually ONLY wearing a mask. Go look at other Michael Jackson’s pictures, in most of these you will notice that he predominantly wore high collars. Wearing a high collar would of course hide the mask, and no one would know that it is just a double that we are calling Michael Jackson.

People were also skeptical about how a 50 year old man can possibly do the moonwalk and all of Michael Jackson’s dance routines? You must have seen all the footage of Michael’s so called ‘last’ rehearsal released by AEG. We saw that although Michael was very thin, he seemed to be able to perform quite well. But the question is – was that Michael Jackson dancing or a double? To answer that – look at the images below, focus in on the left hand:

In ALL of the pictures above, ‘Michael Jackson’ wears a red beaded bracelet on his left hand. There are hundreds of other pictures on the net with the same bracelet on his left hand.

But now look at this picture below. It is from his rehearsals, and note that there is NO bracelet on his left hand. In the 3 pictures above, the last one is also from his final rehearsals but that one does have the bracelet. So it may be the case that he only actually attended some of the rehearsals.

If you look at the video footage below, which has been released so far from the rehearsals he was doing for the ‘This is it’ concert series, the double is present on stage without the bracelet on the left hand. In fact, its even the double sitting in the beginning of this video – he has NO bracelet. I am going to suggest that the one without the bracelet is the double, since Michael has been photographed with that bracelet on his left wrist for several years now.

Also look at the picture below. It was taken in early 2009. Look at the neck – there is hardly any flesh or fat on it. But look at the pictures from the rehearsals above. The neck appears to be completely different.

To say the LEAST, Michael Jackson probably had several doubles. Which one or who died recently remains to be determined, but from my previous post, I highly doubt that it was the REAL Michael Jackson that died.

The Beautiful Wife

November 20, 2010

1 Peter 3:1,3-6
“Wives…Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. 4 Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.
5 For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, 6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master.
You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear”

I played with water coloring with Distress Inks, I couldn’t help using Seedless Preserves again….. I like it because of the vibrant shades you are able to create, but also the color as such. The Magnolia is white embossed with Wow embossing powder and there after colored leaf by leaf. The Magnolia is from Altenew. I have another card with the stamps, please come back again!

Write clear, concise and condensed meeting minutes and still keep your sanity!

My last post was on the process of getting draft minutes approved.

This post lists the correct way to amend a draft set of minutes when at a meeting.

Imagine this scenario

The minutes from the last month’s (say September) meeting have already been distributed previously to meeting participants and they’ve had the opportunity to amend them.

We’re now at this month’s (October) meeting and we’re up to the agenda item of approving the minutes of the last meeting.

Someone wants to amend something. Wait! Can they do that? Haven’t they already had the opportunity to do that? Yes they have, but they’re still entitled to have another shot at them.

So what happens now?

A participant may say:

“On page 3 of the minutes, can we change ‘party’ to ‘picnic’?”

The minutes of today’s meeting (October) will record the following:

That the minutes of the (date) September meeting be accepted as a true and correct record with the following amendment:

Page 3   Under “Christmas Function” – Change ‘party’ to ‘picnic’

Moved:  J Bloggs

Seconded: P Smith

The chairman can then make the above amendment on the hard copy and initial the change.

Is this the process you follow for recording amendments to minutes?

1st Assistant Director and more!

Dear readers, 2013 is a big year for me! I just completed my first position on a feature film set as a 1st Assistant Director! The film is a swiss production called “20 Regeln für Sylvie” (20 Rules for Sylvie) and the shoot has been great (challenging and crazy at times, of course, but great!). I had a great deal of responsibility, and saw how all the mechanisms on a big movie set work. However, I was never terrified. To me, the joy was the dominating feeling. It is the strongest confirmation in my professional life so far that I have chosen the right profession for myself! Thanks to that amazing team and our crazy crazy CRAZY director Giacun Caduff, who gave me this chance!

The second big thing that just happened is: Photo Botos published a photo of mine on their site! It is one of my favorites, I took it on a spot I love: on the Isola Del Giglio. On it you can see a rock, shaped like a tooth, and behind it the Isola Montechristo (famous from the movie “the count of Monte Christo”). The light was perfect, it was a magic moment. Take a look and read the full story here 🙂

Vertical Panorama of Faraglione and sky

Nature is so changeable. For Instance, you can watch a sunset at the same spot a million times, it won’ t look the same twice. I was fascinated by the ambiance that night in Giglio, so I captured it with a picture. Enjoy!

The iPad has made my life easier, generally.  I love Pepper Plate for keeping track of recipes, Kid Player (by PBS) for entertaining my toddler while stuck in a long line, Nighty Night to put him to sleep, Grocery IQ for my shopping lists, and Pocket as my go-to reader for all the blogs that I follow.  Obviously, I’m a big fan of the iPad!  (No, I’m not endorsed by Apple… do they even do that?)

Specifically, I love using my iPad while teaching lessons!  No… I’m not browsing the internet while Johnny fumbles his way through Minuet in G!  There are countless ways to use the iPad in private music lessons!

This is the first of three blog posts in which I’m going to share my favorite uses for the iPad in lessons by recommending the apps that work best (for me)! Today’s blog deals with apps that serve as practical tools.

1.  Music Notes Sheet Music Viewer

For several years I’ve purchased sheet music from  When Music Notes made this app available I was thrilled!  Since I do lessons in my students homes, I  am super excited that I no longer have to lug around 4 giant binders of music in my car (one for piano, guitar, voice and misc) because all of the sheet music I’ve purchased is immediately available to me with this app.

2.  YouTube (requires internet access)

I don’t always let my students listen to a song before trying to sightread it but sometimes it’s necessary.  I’m always surprised how little exposure my students have to good music.  Most often, their musical influences are limited to Lady Gaga, One Direction, High School Musical and Taylor Swift.  If I want my student to learn something by anything from Led Zeppelin to Neon Trees, I’ve got to let them hear it first.  Sometimes I play it for them myself, but it sure is fun to be the one to introduce them to good bands and songwriting!  (the kind that requires an instrument and some actual talent 😉 )

Anyway, I obviously can’t afford to buy all of the music that I want kids to hear (though I’m a big proponent of paying for music you consume) so, if I don’t ask their parents to purchase it for them, we listen to it on YouTube (though I recommend looking for the official music video or a “lyrics” version to be safe… or preview the video before the lesson).  This app is already installed on an iPad upon purchase of the iPad.

3.  Pro Metronome by EUM

Unlike other iPad metronomes, this one’s got some good volume.  It allows you to change the time signature and to determine which beat is emphasized.  It’s easy to change the tone that you hear too.  This app is very intuitive and was designed to look similar to an iPod so students are able to figure out how to use it quickly.

4.  Tuner Lite Ver 2.0 by Witbosoft Co.

There are several reasons I prefer this tuner to other iPad or iPhone apps.  For one, using the iPad internal mic it can gauge the pitch of the string when you play it OR it can play the pitch for you to match.  Most of the other apps I’ve tried can only do one or the other.  Secondly, by the push of a button you can tune a guitar, bass, ukulele or violin.  Since I’ve taught all of these instruments at one time or another, this tuner is super handy.  Better yet, fork out $1.99 and get everything that this tuner has to offer and support a good app maker!

Have I talked you into purchasing an iPad yet? 🙂 What practical apps do you like to use in lessons?  What about in life outside of lessons?

Thursday Sports Recap

What happened yesterday in sports? A lot, and we are here to recap it for you.

Game Notes:

* The Chicago Bulls topped the Miami Heat, 93-89 . This comes after both teams did not make many deadline moves, but the Heat are very much in on Troy Murphy, though I think he will end up a Celtic. Derrek Rose had 26 points for Chicago, while Dwayne Wade led all scorers with 34.

* The Boston Celtics fell to the new-look Nuggets, 89-75. Boston was without Kendrick Perkins and Nate Robinson, who they traded to the Thunder. Also out was Shaquille O’Neal, leaving the Celtics without any big men after Semih Erden was traded to Cleveland.

* The Philadelphia Flyers defeated the New York Islanders in OT, 4-3. The Islanders took an early lead, but the Flyers stormed back to take this one.

* The Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Montreal Canadiens, 5-4. Toronto took a 3-1 lead and Montreal later tied it with two PP goals. But the Maple Leafs scored soon after, and were able to win in Montreal.

* The Los Angeles Kings topped the Minnesota Wild in a key western conference game, 4-2. Also in the west, Vancouver topped St.Louis, 3-2, Dallas beat Detroit 4-1, and Chicago beat Nashville 3-0.

News and Notes:

* Some big moves in the NHL and NBA yesterday. Gerald Wallace was sent to Portland, which really shows the state Charlotte is in. That is all they have, and you have to wonder if folding is inevitable.

* I like the Perkins trade for both teams. From the Thunder side, they get a big man that can really make a difference. For the Celtics, they improve offenseivly with Jeff Green and while Perkins is great on defense, it does not hurt them that much. It is a gamble, with both O’Neal’s hurt, but if they get Murphy I think it’s well worth it.

* The goaltender carosual in Tampa Bay continues. They get rid of Dan Ellis and bring in Curtis McElhinny. I don’t think this makes a difference for the Lightning. The east will come down to Philadelphia and Boston.

* Brooks Orpik will miss the next five weeks for the Penguins. Tough loss after trading Alex Goligoski. Also interesting to see how Alex Kovalev works out there.

* And lastly, an NLL shout out. Brad Bannister, what are you doing? Folding the Roughnecks could kill the league, and you’re fine with it? Take the offer from the Flames and go away.

TB is Still Here, and With a Recap!

Yes, Total Bases is still here. I have been very busy with theprolaxblog.blogspot.com (remember to go there to help get me on SBN!) and an upcoming YouTube Sports Show. Anyways, here is a very long overdue Sunday Sports Recap!

Well… The Red Sox lost, 4-3 to the Yankees in Yankee Stadium. The Red Sox took the lead in the ninth off Mariano Rivera, with Bill Hall and Mike Lowell driving in the runs. But Jonathan Papelbon surrendered a run and then Hideki Okajima to give the Yankees a win.

But the Patriots won! They beat Buffalo 38-30. The defense was bad, with Darius Butler birned left and right, as well and Brandon Meriwether. But Jered Mayo and Pat Chung had good games! On offense Tom Brady was Tom Brady, with three touchdown passes, two to Randy Moss. Aaron Hernandez also had another awesome day.

In other sports scores: The Jets defeated the Dolphins. Mark Sanchez and Dustin Keller had big games.

The Kansas City Cheifs are 3-0! They beat the 49ers.

The Cowboys actually won a game so the Super Bowl for Dallas is back on! (end sarcasm)

Now for some News and Notes:

* Bruins head coach Claude Jullian said that Blake Wheeler and Tyler Seguin could play center in marc Savard’s absence.

* Jonathan Papelbon was blaming the ump for blowing the game. Phil Cuzzi was bad, but he didn’t give up the hits to Teixiera and Swisher.

* It looks like the Carmelo Anthony deal to the Nets may be off now. I still think he will end up in NY.

* Not much else going on. Remember to check out my YouTube show the internet sport show. It will be up sometime this week. I promise to write here more often now that I am less busy!

Total Bases is Still Here

Sorry I have not wrote in a while, it’s been a busy week. I’ll catch you up with everything.

Red Sox: I was at Red Sox games on Monday, Wednesday, and Today. Monday they played the Tampa Bay Rays. Boof Bonser pitched, and got pretty roughed up. The minor leaguers came back, and Ray Chang hit a three run homer. I got an autograph from Terry Francona. Wednesday the Red Sox played the Pirates, and the Red Sox won. I got a ball from Jorge Jimmenez, my second of the spring, the other being from Victor Martinez. Today I saw John Lackey pitch vs the Orioles. He looked pretty sharp. I got an autograph from Dave Trembly.

Mike Lowell fowled a ball off his knee and left the game Friday. I expect this gives the Red Sox an excuse to put him on the DL. If that’s the case, expect Josh Reddick to make the roster.

Bruins: The Bruins won Tuesday night in Atlanta, a huge win. They laid an egg Thursday vs Tampa Bay, and won 5-0 vs Calgary today. Bergeron, Chara, Seidenberg, krejci and Recchi scored today. The Bruins hold a 4 point cushion for the playoffs and move to seventh place with the Flyers losing. The Thrashers play Carolina tonight.

Marc Savard spoke with the media today for the first time since being injured from a hit by Matt Cooke. He said that Cooke has tried to talk to him, but he does not want to talk to Cooke. I am hearing that Savard could return with a deep playoff run by the Bruins.

Vladimir Sobotka returned to game action today while Andrew Ference, just signed to a three year contract (for whatever reason) sat out with yet another injury.

Celtics: The Celtics lost to the Utah Jazz on Monday, while beating the Nuggets Wednesday and the Knigs last night to clinch the Atlantic divison. The Hawks lost to the 76ers, so the Celtics rank ahead of them by one game.

Kendrick Perkins missed last night’s game with a knee injury, and is expected to miss tomorrows vs San Antonio.

Blazers: The Boston Blazers play the last place Philadelphia Wings tonight. If Toronto loses to the Titans tonight, the Blazers with a win could move into second place all alone.

The Mailbag will be Monday. I am in Ft.Myers tomorrow. I will be in Port Charlotte Tuesday, and Sarasota again Wednesday to end my Red Sox spring schedule. I will be in Clearwater Thursday to see the Phillies and the Pirates.

Publisher's Summary

How do you defy destiny?
Helen Hamilton has spent her entire 16 years trying to hide how different she is - no easy task on an island as small and sheltered as Nantucket. And it's getting harder. Nightmares of a desperate desert journey have Helen waking parched, only to find her sheets damaged by dirt and dust. At school she's haunted by hallucinations of three women weeping tears of blood... and when Helen first crosses paths with Lucas Delos, she has no way of knowing they're destined to play the leading roles in a tragedy the Fates insist on repeating throughout history.
As Helen unlocks the secrets of her ancestry, she realizes that some myths are more than just legend. But even demigod powers might not be enough to defy the forces that are both drawing her and Lucas together - and trying to tear them apart.

Where are the Sequels?

Any additional comments?

I have gotten so sick of getting into series and having to wait a year or two for the sequels to come out. In the last 3 months i have started 6 series and will have to wait until 2014 and even 2015 to finish. ENOUGH, I said!! So I went hunting, determined to find a good series that had all the books already published. I found this trilogy on Good Reads and was excited to see all the books were out already and that they were on Audible! My mistake was not making sure ALL THREE books were on Audible. Uggggh!! I desperately want to finish this series! I will have to add it to my to-do list now, along with ALL the others. Like another review said I am surprised there aren't more reviews on this book. I would also agree with the review that I was also put off by the synopsis and didn't want to read this book initially. So much so, that for the first few chapters I thought it was going to be terrible. But to my surprise the book did a backflip and I fell in love with the twists and turns, and especially, the character development. I also like how there is a "love story" type situation in the book, but it doesn't dominate the story with puppy love or stupid triangles. There is actually a plot that isn't ENTIRELY about romance. The Greek mythology entwined in the book is intriguing and I highly recommend this book! Now if only Audible would get the other two books recorded already!

First novel of a trilogy?

I really enjoyed this read. The book was engaging, interesting, extremely well narrated, but it left me wondering where the second and third volumes were languishing. The second in the series is Dreamless. It was published and out in May of 2012. I'm really anxious to read the sequels because this writer doesn't short change the reader with a couple of dozen dime novels to tell a story when she can tell a full and compete story in a trilogy. I love the characters she painted with her words and I'm so surprised that I'm the first to write a review on this volume because it should have scads of them long since.

I wonder if those who read it failed to post a review until they had continued the story in the sequels. If so, that's a pity because anyone who read the reviews would be downloading this book right now. As it is, I may have to go to Barnes&RobYou to download it to my Nook when I'd really enjoy it while on a long drive or even while cleaning house. I get so interested and into it that I fail to notice that I'm working or even working out, God forbid. Oh well... At least read Starcrossed because you will like it. I had had it in my library but was a tiny bit put off by the synopsis. That may need to be revisited in case anyone else had the same reaction. I thought, wow.... why didn't I read this sooner?

Do yourself a favor and don't put it off. It's worth it.

Oh, I nearly forgot. In my research, I put the authors name in my search engine and she has a website. So, I trucked on over there even though I should be in bed, and wouldn't you know? The third book in the trilogy is titled "Goddess." It can be pre-ordered in print but I think it can be downloaded now to my Nook. PLEASE, Audible... get these two recorded into audible books so we can buy them?

The Elementals

  • von Michael McDowell
  • Sprecher: R.C. Bray
  • 8 Std. 11 Min.
  • ungekürztes Hörbuch

2017 Audie Award Finalist
After a bizarre and disturbing incident at the funeral of matriarch Marian Savage, the McCray and Savage families look forward to a restful and relaxing summer at Beldame, on Alabama's Gulf Coast, where three Victorian houses loom over the shimmering beach. Two of the houses are habitable, while the third is slowly and mysteriously being buried beneath an enormous dune of blindingly white sand. But though long uninhabited, the third house is not empty. Inside, something deadly lies in wait. Something that has terrified Dauphin Savage and Luker McCray since they were boys and which still haunts their nightmares. Something horrific that may be responsible for several terrible and unexplained deaths years earlier - and is now ready to kill again....
A haunted house story unlike any other, Michael McDowell's The Elementals (1981) was one of the finest novels to come out of the horror publishing explosion of the 1970s and '80s. Though best known for his screenplays for Tim Burton's Beetlejuice and The Nightmare Before Christmas, McDowell is now being rediscovered as one of the best modern horror writers and a master of Southern Gothic literature. This edition of McDowell's masterpiece of terror features a new introduction by award-winning horror author Michael Rowe. McDowell's first novel, the grisly and darkly comic The Amulet (1979), is also available from Valancourt Books.

Ain’t that sumpthin?

So a movie is being filmed in our town.  That’s not such an unusual thing, since apparently this state gives great tax breaks to production companies to come and film here.  But it’s still kinda cool to drive by a place and know that at that moment someone famous could be there.  Yesterday I took BB to a mostly empty mall that is being used as a set because, well I was curious as heck and I used the excuse of “needing” to look for a new stainless steel pan that could only be found at Bed Bath and Beyond, which is one of the three (yep, count them THREE) still operating stores in that mall.  I had heard that you can walk around the mall and take a gander at the fake store fronts.  It was pretty neat to see all these closed down and empty stores packed to the gills with merchandise. I was feeling a little nervous about taking our my camera at first, but after speaking with a couple (okay, three) lonely security guards, I realized they didn’t care if I took a couple of pics.  I’d like to go back this week, when I was told there would be more going on, and take pictures of the once defunct and abandoned food court now turned thriving mall hang out.

A fun fun day!

Is it my turn yet?

Today we had a blast! We went to the local amusement park with our homeschool co-op and spent two hours riding, laughing and getting soaked! The park was only open to “school” groups today, so the lines were extra short, though it was still pretty darned busy. BB’s favorite thing was…Uh…Well, everything! I was able to leave him with a friend while a small group of us went off to ride the big wooden coaster, so I had fun too! One of the best things about my life right now is that I’m in a wonderful, supportive group and I feel safe to leave my little one with them and they feel safe leaving their kids with me. I wish there were more pics, but we had so much fun that I forgot I had my camera on me.

Crating From Shapes | Carnival Poster

Crating From Shapes | Carnival Poster

Side Project | Trying out something new

So yeah I got Illustartor the other day and for some reason I just can’t get comfortable with it as I am with photoshop. I decided to stop my constant frustration and stick to what I can do best and try illustarte something in Photoshop instead.

Since flat design is so popular no I thought to use shapes and make a silly and fun poster for myself.  Here is the outcome from my experimentation:

Since I am not a born amazing drawer, using shapes ended up being a brilliant idea. I got an incredibly good outcome. As you can see above I created a Fun Fare poster, circus is in town am I right? Ok, it isn’t but I went From a little idea, to messing around to a whole poster with a few fun attractions.

I got some inspiration from just looking online at how these are structured and made my own. There is lots of colour which would most likely relate to children, I got to experiment a lot with this one.

Over all I am really happy with the design. I like how I didn’t have to spend twice the time in Illustrator and made this just using Photoshop. It’s not that I hate the software but for some reason in Photoshop I work faster, more efficiently and I can get the same outcomes with it that I can with Illustartor and in a quicker time.

Barack Obama’s standards pollution

Strange moment in history of the word “standard”

Feeling unable to pass climate legislation through the legislative bodies of the country he was elected President of, Barack Obama turned to the country’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to set regulations on the emissions of carbon dioxide.

The New York Times reported early in July that a lobby group produced much of the complex legislation, and because it’s an anti-nuclear lobby group, Rod Adams of Atomic Insights was noting by the end of the summer that the complex regulation appeared to reward states for replacing nuclear with natural gas.

The other day I read a tweet attributing the following graph to Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF):

Curious, I hopped over to the U.S. Energy Information Administration and grabbed a couple of data tables from the most recent Electric Power Annual page.

I’ve calculated the CO2 intensity per kWh (CIPK – g/kWh) for each state as per 2012 CO2 emissions and generation figures from the EIA data (in this spreadsheet), and produced the same type of chart, with the lowest CPIK states indicated in blue (as honest people assuming an honest President might think the states the EPA figures can increase emissions intensity currently have low emissions intensity), medium in grey, and the highest CPIK states in orange.

The graphs should allow people to draw their own conclusions, but here’s a few of the things that struck me:

  • West Virginia, Kentucky, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska are contiguous, all have CPIK’s amongst the highest third now but all may go higher under the EPA “standard” according to the BNEF map
  • South Carolina is shown in the BNEF map as requiring a decrease of 36% and Ohio of 2% – SC’s 2012 CPIK is ~350 g/kWh, OH’s about 736
  • California is shown in the BNEF map as having latitude to increase it’s CPIK, while New York is to cut 53%; CA’s 2012 CPIK is higher than NY’s

When Barack Obama forced the phrase “carbon pollution” I thought that was pushing the boundaries linuistically – like referencing the drowned as victims of “water pollution.”

This EPA tool isn’t functionally about carbon pollution – it’s demonstrative of standards pollution.

Houseing recollapse unexpected?….

leave a comment »

Tell me again why anyone pays attention to these guys. The “experts”, picked out by the media, I guess, haven’t a clue. Just what is so hard to understand that we are broke and need a breather to pay off debts. Unemployed broke dicks can barely buy food let alone buy houses.  This is not going away.

Expect more bailouts as the Dems get their asses kicked in the polls. Soon enough Repubs will join them as their money bags on Wall Street get nowhere as the economy goes flat. This will be the pattern as the government has to prop up consumer spending or face being booted down the road.

But the next boom is coming. A trillion here and a trillion there eventually hits home and the average guy finally joins the party because they can’t save jack shit and need handouts to buy Chinese trinkets here at Walmart and buy food at Micky D’s. Whether we survive the boom remains to be seen. No other Empire has done it.

I wouldn’t want to be living in Ayatollah country over the next ten years or so. They’ have a targets printed in capital letters spelled OIL found here.

Existing Home Sales Fall Unexpectedly in May – CNBC

Sales of previously owned homes fell unexpectedly in May as delays in processing mortgage applications hampered the closing of contracts benefiting from a popular homebuyer tax credit, an industry group said on Tuesday.

The National Association of Realtors said sales fell 2.2 percent month over month to an annual rate of 5.66 million units from an upwardly revised 5.79 million-unit pace in April.

Analysts polled by Reuters expected May sales to rise 5.5 percent to a 6.12 million-unit pace from the previously reported 5.77 million units in April. Sales were up 19.2 percent compared to May last year.

Jordan chats with Underoath’s Spencer Chamberlain ahead of their Australian Rebirth tour.

Underoath fans rejoice! The Christian post-hardcore heroes are hitting our shores in 2017, bringing with them not one but two entire albums. In celebration of ten years’ passing since Define the Great Line and They’re Only Chasing Safety, and everything the band has achieved since, Underoath are performing both albums in their entirety. Music Injection spoke to frontman Spencer Chamberlain to get the lowdown on how this epic tour came to be.

MI: You’re bringing Underoath over to Australia next year we hear, are you excited? What have your experiences been like before with Australia?

Spencer: We’ve always had awesome experiences with Australia! It’s one of our favourite countries to be in, the country itself is beautiful, even when we came over in wintertime. And the shows have always been awesome for us there! Coming back is really exciting. I’ve been once with my other band, Sleepwave, since Underoath was there last time, and it’s been a while for Underoath. Sleepwaves was there on the last Soundwave so it’s been two or three years for me but it’s been very exciting. It’s a shame Soundwave doesn’t happen anymore though.

MI: You plan on playing Define the Great Line and They’re Only Chasing Safety in their entirety, what was behind the decision to do that?

Spencer: Originally we tried to get back together for a ten-year anniversary of Define the Great Line and the idea was that we weren’t sure if we were going to continue to be a band, but we knew that we wanted to tour that record to give something back to our fans because every day they were begging us to get back together and play, and that never really died down which was crazy.  We knew they missed Underoath bad, and half of us never wanted to break it off in the first place. When the other guys that wanted to break up decided they wanted to tour, we thought “well, we missed the ten-year anniversary of Chasing Safety so why not play both records?” as a big thankyou to our fans. We wanted to give them the best Underoath show they could imagine. Immediately after two or three practices we knew we wanted to be back together, so after that first U.S. tour, before we did something else, we wanted to tour across the world because we have fans everywhere.

MI: According to the internet, which you can’t always trust, these albums were written very close together, does that change how you look back at them and how they relate to each other?

Spencer: Uhh, no! (laughs) They weren’t written close together at all, we wrote They’re Only Chasing Safety in 2003 and Define the Great Line in late 2005 to early 2006. They were written apart so there was a totally different mindset for the writing of them. I think when we wrote Chasing Safety we were only kids, and it was the first record with the six members on it that formed the lineup that people know as Underoath today. Three people were left over from the first record, myself included, and James and Grant. I think we were young, and we just wanted to do some songs and didn’t know what would happen. We were still playing for under a hundred kids every night when we made that record, we weren’t a big band at all. But that record took off, as we were touring our asses off. But that record didn’t reflect how we sounded live; we were a lot more energetic, a lot more grungey and violent live, and I think that mindspace went into writing Define the Great Line.  That’s what made that record so different I think, we wanted to write a record that captured how we sounded and felt how we feel live.  We wanted to put that on tape, and that’s what we did, and we’ve carried out that way of writing for the rest of our career. I feel that [They’re Only Chasing Safety] was an experiment or a bit of a question mark, and I think when Define the Great Line happened we were more of a team, and moving forward was a lot easier because we were all playing on the same team and we really worked hard for the same goal, as opposed to Only Chasing Safety, which we wrote just as kids.

MI: As you said, it’s been roughly ten years since these albums came out, has revisiting that time in your lives been a positive experience for you guys?

Spencer: Yeah, absolutely! Even some some songs that we’ve played and will always play. Like, if you go and see Metallica, you’ll hear songs that came out before you were born. Does that make them a nostalgia band? I don’t think so. I think that’s what they do. I think bands have records that connect with people and bands reckon that they’re their favourite, and I think that it’s important unless you plan on changing the band or being different. It hasn’t been that long since we’ve played those songs, and there’s been a handful, I’d say only two, that we have never played live off of Chasing Safety. It was a bit funny re-learning a song that we wrote so long ago, but now that we’ve done a full U.S. tour and some summer festivals it seems normal now, but most of those songs we’ve played after they were written throughout our career.

MI: You’ve stated before that between the two albums, you’ve had to change your vocals quite a bit to get that grungier sound, how do you feel about where your vocals are at today?

Spencer: Every year as an artist you should be progressing. It’s something that I try to do as a guitar player, a piano player and a singer. It’s something I try to do whether it’s writing songs, or in the studio, or playing an instrument, or on stage. I’m constantly making music, it’s what I’ve done my whole life since I was a kid. I was in elementary school when I started playing music, and writing shortly after I learnt how to play anything. I just think that it’s a constant goal, and it’s a cool thing with records that you can see people progress, and I think it’s a natural human way of doing things, or at least I feel that it should be for anyone, no matter what your craft, passion or skill. You should be constantly striving to be better at it, and that’s just the kind of person I am. If I was a professional surfer instead of a singer I’d want to be better every time I got on the board y’know? I think it’s a pretty common way to go about things, and vocally I’ve been trained most of my life, I was in chorus at school and I’d take guitar lessons and jazz bass when I was a little kid, and my whole life has been about music so I think my vocals are evolving and progressing. I know I can sing a lot better than I ever could before, and I’ll probably say that every year you talk to me. I’m not trying to sound cocky, that’s not at all what I want to portray, I’m just trying to say that I’m constantly trying to better my craft.

MI: Do you have a rough idea of where it is you want to be heading or do you base your progress on what you see behind you?

Spencer: I just try to… I Just think it’s a natural progression. The more you’re singing and practicing and warming up before shows and practicing in studio sessions and performing, the easier it gets. We’re playing a two-hour long set now and when I was twenty-two years old I would never have been able to do that. It’s just amazing to see how stuff like that becomes. I remember when Underoath started to headline it was like, wow, how are we going to play longer than thirty minutes? And that just comes with time, and with everyone in the band constantly improving.

MI: What’s next for Underoath?

Spencer:  Underoath is not planning on stopping. We’ve burnt the candle at both ends, no pun intended, and we were so young when it started that there wasn’t a chance in hell that we could’ve made it through without breaking up at one point. You can’t be that young, and we weren’t well travelled. You become a man on the road, and I think when you’re a boy and you’re in a group of friends, whatever your clique is, you all have the same taste, the same bands, the same clothes, and that’s probably why you started the band in the first place. And then life happens, and the road happens, and you grow up. You become an individual. That is what was really tough for Underoath; we became different from each other, and that’s totally healthy but when you’re trapped on a bus or a plane, not so much. We really over-toured, and you can’t tour that way when you’re headlining. Y’know, you can’t show up three or four times to the same city, it’s not good for your career or the band. We didn’t have time to see things clearly because of this, and we really drove the nail all the way down until we had to walk away but luckily three and a half years apart allowed a lot of time for healing and seeing things with clear eyes.  We had to take a step back before we could take a step or ten steps forward, and Underoath is a much healthier band than when we were 17 years old.  We get along better now, we respect each other, we are all grown men that know how life works and understand each other’s differences, and it’s a really healthy relationship right now. That’s pretty unstoppable, because as a band that was what always held us back, and I’m sure you’ll see that on stage live; you can see the love and respect everyone has for each other and how excited they are to be there again, and that hasn’t happened in so long. You can’t teach that, or fake that kind of fire or passion, so to have that back is pretty incredible. I can honestly say, speaking for all my friends in the band, that we honestly have that back. We drove that [nail] down so hard and became the band that hated each other and hated doing what we loved the most, but when reality set in that when we’re done, and the band is over and we’ll never play those songs again, that we’ll never share those songs that so many fans connected to, we realised how lucky we were and how much we appreciated what we had. Australia will get to see this newer, better, healthier Underoath.

MI: Thank you so much for your time Spencer, any last words or thoughts you’d like to share?

Spencer: I can’t wait to get down to Australia and I’m very thankful for our fans down under that I see so very often on twitter or Instagram! I saw them asking us, “come to Australia!”  the whole time we were on the North America Rebirth tour, and we’re so happy to finally announce it.  We’ve known for so long and it has been hurting me inside keeping it a secret. I think this is the first time since 2010, I think that was the last time, but it’s been a while. We can’t wait to get back and hang out, see the beautiful cities and beaches, and play some rad shows!

Interview by Jordan Sibberas

When your favourite band goes on their farewell tour, you go. It doesn’t matter how far you have to drive; you just go. UNDEROATH’s farewell show is a chance to remember, a chance to re-live, and a chance to be excited again. These nights are about the shared experience of over a decade’s worth of music. That even a fraction of that experience can be witnessed in one night, is a wonder in itself.

Dubbed the Rebirth Tour, UNDEROATH will be playing the classic albums They’re Only Chasing Safety’ and ‘Define The Great Line’ in their entirety. The recent USA Tour saw every show sell out in advance with fans and media alike in absolute unison with their thoughts:

“They nailed it front to back, performing like they’ve steadily been on tour since the hiatus, the audience singing along to just about every chorus and hook”. – Punk News

“Underoath is giving diehard fans exactly what they want, and from the sound of it, they’ve never believed in these songs more than they do now.” – Enfocus Magazine

They were soaked in sweat by the third song, and playing as passionately on their last as they did on their first. You’d swear they’d be dying up there, if only they didn’t look so alive”. – Tampa St. Petersburg

“Once on stage, with a near perfect timed explosion of light, music and fan screams, it was clear that Underoath was back. Their hiatus had no effect on their ability to move their devoted fans, and move they did; with hands pumping, fans jumping and a waterfall of surfers flowing over the front barricades into the pit” – Rock Paper Rock

BBC Radio documentary on Yiddish

Click here to access this interesting documentary from 2008.

Dennis Marks travels to New York to discover what has become of Yiddish and how much of the language survives today.

On the Lower East Side, where many Jewish migrants first came to live, he finds a musical and theatrical tradition which once supported a dozen Yiddish theatres on 2nd Avenue.

He hears from the publisher of The Forward, once the world’s most popular Yiddish newspaper, but which is now in seemingly terminal decline.

And he explores the enormous influence of Yiddish culture on American life, its literature and its comedic tradition.

Personal accounts of persecution and genocide by the Nazi regime (BBC archive)

These BBC programmes and documents chart the reactions and personal testimonies of some of those who witnessed the Nazis’ “Final Solution”.

Interviews, journals and documentaries starkly convey the realities of the camps. Survivors recount their experiences of the genocide and its continuing legacy.

This collection also illustrates the shock felt by the liberators and how the atrocities were revealed by UK broadcasters.
