I play bass in a three-piece indie/post-hardcore band. I'm trying to find ways to create a fuller sound when our guitarist plays leads and solos. Currently, I usually either achieve this by playing chords/arpeggios, or using effects (current setup includes a chorus, a delay, a distortion, an overdrive and a guitar multi-effect that's used mainly as an octave pedal), and I'm just wondering if anyone has any other suggestions, especially any somewhat-cheap pedals you'd recommend. I just want to avoid following the same formula of "Oh, he's soloing, better turn on the distortion and play powerchords" by finding a lot of ways to create a full sound.

It really sort of depends on the set-up of guitar player and drummer and the frequency ranges that they occupy; and the type of lines you're actually playing. Personally I like to boost the upper mids a fair bit and dig in. You can achieve a sort of aggressive guitar/bass hybrid sound that really does fill up a lot of space this way. Think Geddy Lee/Chris Squire etc.

I like two-handed tapping for filling space in a bass role. Low note E string with a higher up power chord/any other diad works great, or tapped arpeggios.

Another thing I like is slap and pop, or just slapping the notes you want. The aggressive clanging really stands out and helps fill the space left by the guitarist's absentee riff.

What does your drummer do during the solos? more cymbalwork could help too with filling extra sonic space

Well; it ain't cheap (US$300.00), but the Aphex Aural Exciter/Optical Big Bottom can work near miracles in that area.

You want to fill up the sound but sometimes it's nice to keep a bit of sonic room too - like in Know Your Enemy by RATM. Get tight with those drums and dig in!

But also, check out Fury by Muse for a big fat bass tone. Some distortion and synth on there (as ever). And moving your way from the root to the octave via fills (like in the chorus) helps too!

Good luck! I might be in your position soon

My band just recently became a 3 piece (happened in the middle of a tour too, that sucked) and I've learned that playing power chords while the guitarist is playing leads or soloing works pretty well.

I usually play the chords higher on the neck and try to emulate what the rhythm guitarist was doing. It also helps if you add a little bit of grind and drive in your tone.

I have no idea, as I don't have this problem in my trio band.

Our guitarist never plays solos.
I do them on bass instead.

I started using an Exotic EP boost, check it out.
It works. I'm getting a bigger full sound, liven's up everything.

Let's Play Slow for a Moment. Part 2

Let's Play Slow for a Moment. Part 2
In Part 1, I laid out the basic concept as to why it is important to practice and play over slow tempos. Part 1 also included an exercise to help prepare you for this lesson. In this part, I will provide additional exercises, examples and explanations to help familiarize yourself more with playing over slow tempo and aid in improving and expanding your overall rhythmic abilities. Let's get started! Firstly, let's set our metronome at 80 bpm. This will be the starting point for all the following exercises in this article. Let's begin by tapping our foot to the metronome. We need to lock ourselves into the beat before we start on the musical notations in the exercises. Start with the first exercise and move on to the next one in order. Practice each exercise with the metronome until you can play the exercise comfortably and tightly. Ex 1

Ex 2

Ex 3

Ex 4

Ex 5

You may notice that each exercise contains several rest notes. These rest notes provide an additional challenge, that ensures you pay attention to the next coming beat and if you become off time it will become more noticeable as it will oppose the slow tempo metronome. Next, let's record ourselves playing along with a drum track that contains only a hi-hat, snare or kick sound. Use a recording program that you are familiar with (write a MIDI drum track according to the music notations in the exercises and then bounce it to the audio wave file). By doing this, you can really check and track how tight and accurate your timing is by simply looking and comparing your track's wave form to the drum track's waveform. See if your beat matches the drum beat, take special care to notice the accent beats of your wave form are on the same timeline as your drum track. You can even zoom in on both tracks to get a clearer more precise picture of the wave forms on both tracks. Check to see if your wave form is slightly ahead or behind the drum track. When recording, make sure you turn on the metronome along with the drum track. Following below are examples that show you the idea behind this method: In time

Zoom in

Ahead the beat

Behind the beat

Another way to check your accuracy is to bounce your track with the drum track and slow it down by 25%-50% (use your recording program, a "slow down" software, window media player if you are a PC user or Quick time player if you are a Mac user). Carefully listen to how tight your track with the drum track. The accuracy of your timing will become obvious as your track and the drum track are playing the same notes. Slowing the track down really shows how accurate your rhythm is. After you finish doing these exercises, lets challenge ourselves by playing at an even slower tempo from 80bpm to 75bpm and slowly reduce the beats per minute till you can play accurately somewhere around 60bpm. These methods can also be used with your own specific exercises and can be applied to suit your style of playing. These exercises will not only improve your ability to play over slow tempos but you'll notice that it will become easier to play at faster tempos accurately. Thus, reducing the re-takes that so many of us face in the recording studio. Let's save time in the future by practicing now. Rock On! About the Author: Poh Jindawech (Facebook, YouTube)

    Re: "on", "in" and "at"

    It's still a prepostion there, but it's difficult to explain why we use certain prepositions with certain words. we talk about collocation, which is basically that words combine in patterns and combinations. These patterns don't necessarily have an obvious explanation. It's one of the areas of language where it's a question of accepting that this is the case and trying to learn them, I'm afraid. The good news is that if you get the preposition wrong, it won't normally cause comprehension problems. A very good site for examples of words in use, which you can use to check is http://view.byu.edu Enter a word and it'll find lots of examples. You can also choose Preposition and it'll only show you examples of the word followed by a preposition. You have to register once to use it, but it's free and very fast.

Abrucena is a small town in the Las Alpujarras, at the north-side of the Sierra Nevada, between the Sierra de Baza and Sierra Nevada. It is located in an area of outstanding beauty in the Sierra Nevada Natural Park.

It is an excellent destination for rural and eco tourists, with a wonderful mountainscape scenery, Moorish villages, and a wealth of flora and fauna.

The town dates back to Neolithic times and ceramic remains from this era have been in the region.

The town was occupied for two centuries by the Moors and then reconquered by the Marque de los Velez and his army. However, its Moorish occupation is evident in Abrucena’s architecture and monuments.

About town
Abrucena is a charming Moorish village, set at the foot of a mountain range. Its narrow winding streets, lined with whitewashed terrace houses, are a delight to explore.

The town has basic amenities of a supermarket, shops, a covered market, bars and restaurants.

Natural surroundings
Abrucena is located in the Sierra Nevada Nature Park, which is an area of immense scenic beauty and high ecological value.

The region is a Biosphere Reserve and features a mountain range, verdant valleys and a legacy from its settlers from over a thousand years ago.

Rural tourism has become popular in the area, and for those who want to partake in outdoor activities on their holiday: skiing, mountain-climbing, fishing, hike, rambling, canoeing, are all available in the area.

Eating out
The town has a few bars and restaurants, mainly traditional Andalusian cuisine and tapas.

Abrucena is set in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, for this reason its climate is slightly cooler than the rest of Southern Spain. Winters can be snowy and cold and the summer can get very hot.

lovely brick cottage

  • 5 of 5

Lovely Newport cottage. 3 girlfriends and I stayed here this past weekend and just loved the home. The living is a lot bigger than the pictures look and the master bedroom was also roomy. There was plenty of room for four girls and we could of easily slept more. Something else we loved was the backyard which had a few Adirondack chairs and other seating, we would sit out there in the morning with our coffee. The location was also great, I would say about a 15-20 minute walk to the center of town and a $6 uber if you don't want to walk, so either way, very easy. Danusha was also very available to any questions we had, answering back within a few minutes. My only request would be for more towels, one per person was a bit tight and I think providing two each would be a lot better. we would certainly stay here again, thank you Danusha!

We were five adults in town for a family wedding (on Goat Island), and Danusha's cottage suited us perfectly. It was very conveniently located, well equipped, and spotless. When we had some issues with the wifi, Danusha helped us sort it out pretty quickly; she was always available for any assistance we might need. Our stay was remarkably pleasant and trouble-free.

January 2012

  • 5 of 5

This home suited my family very well. There were three adults and two young children and we had plenty of space. We even arranged for a crib rental and that went very smoothly. The home is in a great location. It is a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to the beach, the famed Cliff Walk, groceries, restaurants and historic downtown. This was a transition home for us as we waited to receive our household goods for a cross-country move, and I certainly miss both the house and neighborhood. The property was very clean, well-maintained, and has a patio and yard suitable for playing with kids or enjoying a meal outside. The washer/dryer and dishwasher were wonderful features, too. We would certainly stay here again, and I would highly recommend it to a friend. The owner is extremely welcoming, kind and accommodating.

Update on Port Vila (Vanuatu) flights

Guest Charter (Customer Service Plan)

Being Australia’s airline of choice, it is our priority to have you arrive to your destination safely and on time, having experienced our exceptional Virgin Australia service. Our Guest Charter describes our service commitment to you when you fly on Virgin Australia operated flights.

We also want to let you know how we can help you if things do not go according to plan and the services you can expect us to provide if you need extra help getting to your destination.

  1. Safety

    Your safety will always be our number one priority when you fly with us. We will never compromise on safety.

  2. Offering the Lowest Fare Available

    Whether you book via our Guest Contact Centre or via our website, we will always offer you the lowest fare for which you are eligible and we will inform you if a lower fare is available via other Virgin Australia channels.

  3. Giving Us Your Feedback

    If you have a compliment or complaint then we want to hear about it. Our aim is to resolve any problems on the spot where possible, with our Virgin Australia team. However, if your problem is a bit more complex, or if you are not happy with the outcome, you can call our Guest Contact Centre for advice anytime. Or you can also contact us via a range of other methods:

    • Via ‘Contact Us’ on the website and completing a feedback form.
    • Write to Guest Relations, Virgin Australia Group, PO Box 1034, Spring Hill QLD 4004.
    • Fax +61 7 3295 5642.

     Our Guest Relations team will acknowledge your contact on the day of receipt if you are contacting us via the feedback form or via fax.

     If you write to us by post, on receipt we will return post an acknowledgment to you. If the postal feedback includes your contact phone number, we will attempt to call you in lieu of acknowledging by return post.

    Our aim, no matter which above option you choose, is to then contact you with a detailed response within 10 business days where possible, pending the complexity of your situation.

    Should you feel unsatisfied with our response to your complaint, please let us know and request a review. If after the review you are still not satisfied, you may contact the Airline Customer Advocate (ACA). The ACA is an independent body that will facilitate an outcome if an eligible situation has not been resolved between the guest and the airline. The ACA can be contacted at

    Please note: To be eligible to escalate a resolution through the ACA, you will need a feedback case ID number from our Guest Relations department.

    For U.S. customers, we will provide you with a substantive response within 60 days of receiving your complaint.

  4. When We Need to Change Your Schedule

    If your flight is changed or cancelled we will contact you in a timely manner via the details given in your booking and provide you with alternative flight details.

    If the alternative flight time does not work for you, we will move you to another available Virgin Australia service, with no further cost to you (as close as possible to your original scheduled departure time and in the same class you booked).

  5. Delays and Cancellations – Letting You Know

    Sometimes flights are disrupted on the day of travel, so it is really important to give us a good contact number so we can reach you at short notice.

    If we know (at least 2 hours before the scheduled departure time) that your domestic flight is going to be cancelled we will contact you (or your Travel Agent or Travel Management Company) to let you know. For international flights, we will endeavour to contact you if we know about the cancellation at least 4 hours before the scheduled departure time.

  6. Delays and Cancellations – Those Within Our Control

    If you get to the airport and find you are disrupted for reasons we believe to be within our control (e.g. due to aircraft maintenance or crew shortages), we will endeavour to get you on your way as soon as possible on another Virgin Australia service at no additional cost to you.

    If you are delayed overnight in a port away from home we will arrange and pay for hotel accommodation, transfers and meals for you (limits do apply).

  7. Delays and Cancellations – Those Outside Our Control

    You might get to the airport and find you are disrupted for reasons beyond our control (e.g. delays or cancellations due to bad weather, airport terminal closures or security incidents).

    If you are delayed for these kinds of reasons we will do our best to get you on the next available Virgin Australia service at no further cost to you.

  8. Guest Requirements During Tarmac Delays

    If you are delayed on board the aircraft after we’ve shut the doors at your departure port, or after the plane has landed, we will endeavour to provide for essential needs such as potable water, adequate food, lavatory facilities and urgent medical requirements, subject to the safety or security conditions at the time.

    We will of course give particular focus to guests with special needs at this time.

    • For further information regarding tarmac delays in the USA, please see our Tarmac Delay Plan.
  9. If We Cannot Provide a Seat on Your Flight

    On rare occasions we may request for volunteers to move to a later flight, or may need to ask a guest to do so. If this happens to you, you will be moved to the next available Virgin Australia service at no additional cost to you.

    For Domestic and Short Haul International flights, if you are not moved to a Virgin Australia flight that is within 2 hours from your original departure time you will be provided with a credit as an apology for any inconvenience incurred as a result of the disruption. The value of any credits will be determined by Virgin Australia (consideration will be given to your departure port and disruption time).

    If you are delayed overnight at a port away from home we will arrange and pay for hotel accommodation, transfers and meals for you (limits do apply).

    For departures from the USA, we will provide you with compensation as per the requirements of US Denied Boarding Legislation.

  10. Baggage Services

    If your bag has not arrived at your destination with you and we find out it is on its way, we will arrange for a courier to deliver it to your hotel or home at our expense when it arrives. If your bag is delayed for more than 24 hours you will be reimbursed for basic essential items purchased as a result of the baggage delay (limits do apply). This will be done by submitting your receipts to our Guest Relations team (see “Giving us your feedback” for contact details).

    If your bag is declared lost, you will be refunded any applicable baggage fees as well as being able to claim for the contents (baggage claim limitations do apply).

  11. Guests with Special Needs

    Guests with special needs and passengers with disabilities are warmly welcomed and are important to us.

  12. Travel Insurance

    We expect you to take out travel insurance. No matter how well we all plan, sometimes unforeseen factors can disrupt travel plans. While we do our best to ensure things run smoothly, we cannot guarantee that the occasional occurrence will not happen. Travel insurance is the most sensible protection against any occurrences that do arise.

    Depending on the level of travel insurance you get, it can cover you for costs arising from things such as delays, cancellations, lost or damaged baggage, airport terminal closures or security incidents. It is important that you understand what Virgin Australia are and are not liable for and what your travel insurance will cover you against.

  13. Privacy

    We respect your personal information. Your personal information will be handled in accordance with our privacy policy.

    Find out more, view our privacy policy

  14. Our Commitment to the Environment

    We take our commitment to minimising the impact of our operations on the environment seriously. We are committed to ensuring that our airline not only grows responsibly, but also remains focused on finding solutions that will make a low carbon aviation industry possible in the future. To that end we have worked with other Virgin airline groups to produce a document outlining our views and actions on climate change and aviation. You can reduce your carbon footprint by offsetting your flight with our “Fly Carbon Neutral” scheme.

  15. Providing Refunds

    If a refund is due according to the applicable fare rules, the processing time will be as follows:

    • 7 working days for itineraries involving US sectors (in line with US Department of Transport legislation).
    • 21 calendar days for sectors that do not include US sectors.

    Please note the above guidelines do not include the banks processing time.

  16. Disclosing Cancellation Policies and Other Information

  17. Other Information

    Our Terms and Conditions of Carriage outline our key responsibilities to you and also your responsibilities to us. This Guest Charter and the Terms and Conditions work hand in hand, so please be sure to read both documents.

    If you have any questions about this charter, please email us at or you can call our Guest Contact Centre.

    At you can also find other useful information such as Velocity membership rules and aircraft configuration maps, showing seating layouts and the position of lavatories on board.

  18. Further Information for Guests Travelling to or from the USA only

    Cancelling without penalty

    If you book a fare 7 days or more prior to your flight’s scheduled departure time, you may cancel your booking without penalty within 24 hours of making it, or hold a reservation at the quoted fare for 24 hours without payment. You can arrange this by calling our Guest Contact Centre.

    Flight status changes

    Should the status of your flight change on the day of travel, there are a number of ways you can be made aware. Within 30 minutes of a delay being known, Flight Information Display screens, our Airport Staff and our Call Centre Agents will be made aware of any flight delay over 30 minutes. The Airport Staff will make announcements detailing the flight status change. You can also check your flight status or subscribe to our flight status notification service via the Flight Status screen on the website.

New Phones, New Service, Or Both? VoipReview Has The Answers

Make the change to VoIP – it’s fast and easy! Here’s how:

Today, most people are switching to Voice Over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) for their home and office phone needs, because it is simple to install, easy to maintain, and cost-effective compared to traditional phone systems.

VoIP utilizes your existing home or office Internet connection as a means of connectivity instead of a traditional phone line. It differs from any standard telephone system because it turns your phone calls into digital data, then transfers them via your broadband connection in order to complete a call. Making phone calls over the Internet is a cheaper and more reliable solution. Plus, it offers a higher voice quality, too!

If you are new to VoIP, you will need either VoIP phones or an adapter placed between your Internet connection and old analog phone. We recommend that you use VoIP phones because the voice quality and features are exceptional, and the overall cost is reasonable. Many times, you can negotiate with your VoIP provider for free or discounted phones.

VoIP decision-making infographic

Residential, Business, or Enterprise: Which VoIP Solution Is Right For You?

VoIP can make your small business look like an enterprise, and your enterprise bill look small.

Residential – If your current home phone bill is more than $8 but less than $50 per month, you can save by switching to VoIP. If you want call forwarding, auto answer, call screening and other features, residential VoIP is your answer. You can find the right provider in the Residential comparison table above.

Small Business – You want your small business to sound big on the phone. VoIP is right for you if: you have fewer than 40 extensions, want a professional auto attendant, dial by name directory, time of day call forwardingconference calling and more, and have limited or no internal IT tech support (yet need it for less than you are paying now). A hosted or “cloud” VoIP solution is the answer, and each of the providers in the Business comparison tables above can help serve you.

Enterprise – Only the best will do! A VoIP enterprise plan is for you if: you have over 40 extensions, you expect state of the art features at ridiculously low rates, and you have a skilled IT tech department. Compare top VoIP PBX providers and connect your new VoIP PBX with a highly rated SIP provider to give your enterprise all of the features you need.

monthly calendar event

Contract vs No Contract Plans: Which Is Best?

Contracts aren’t for everyone. Yet choosing a long-term contract can save you bundles on your phone bill.

When signing up for a VoIP provider, you need to decide whether or not a contract is right for you. Big-name providers like Vonage and Jive offer month-to-month plans while service providers like Broadvoice have both yearly contract and metered plan options. Ultimately, the longer the contract is, the stronger your negotiating position.

There are a few factors to consider when deciding whether or not a contract is right for you. First and foremost, how long are you planning on keeping your VoIP service? How much are you willing to spend? Will you need equipment? How many extensions do you require?

If you are a current VoIP customer, chances are that you already have all of the equipment you need to enable a VoIP service. In this case, you could try to negotiate for a couple of months of free service in exchange for a year contract, or forgo a term contract for flexibility down the road. But if you are a new VoIP customer, some providers offer discounted (or even free) equipment when you sign up. Try negotiating for those free phones and use some free months of service as a fall back negotiating option. Otherwise, you could find a provider offering month-to-month service.

A majority of providers also offer free trial periods for you to test run their service before committing. This is a good way to try out features and call quality on different providers to ensure that you get the one best suited to you.

common VoIP terms and features

Looking for Free Big Business Features? Get Them With VoIP

Give your company the productivity features they need by switching to VoIP. Most VoIP plans come with many advanced (and free) features.

VoIP plans come with plenty of free productivity features that will enrich your VoIP calling experience. Some of the more prominent features included in VoIP plans are: voicemail to email, call blocking, caller ID, call forwarding, E911, 3-way calling, and more.

The variety of VoIP features is one of the best perks about using a VoIP phone system. While a majority of features are free, some providers also offer more enhanced and advanced features for a nominal fee. For instance, Vonage offers company-wide call recording and call queuing as add-on features, while Broadvoice has auto attendant and virtual fax as added features. Check with your provider to see what valuable features they include with their plans.

Vail Valley Hikes & Bikes

Vail Colorado Mountain Biker | Vail Health Magazine
July 2, 2012

Mother Nature is very, very good to the Vail Valley. Not only is it surrounded by the jagged and beautiful Rockies, there are a host of trails snaking through the peaks and valleys of those very mountains. From Eagle to East Vail, there are many options for those wanting to cruise through the hills on foot or on two wheels. Here’s our well-researched top 5.

Vail Valley Hikes

For more information on local hikes or for directions to the trailhead, call the U.S. Forest Service at 970.827.5715.
Gore Creek Trail
East Vail
In the summer, the Gore Creek Trail is a great intermediate trail. Like any trail in East Vail, it begins on a straight-up cliff-like pitch. Eventually it levels off, following the creek, which is beset by beautiful scenery. If you are ambitious, you can hike all the way to Frisco. In the winter, it is great for a 45-minute loop across the creek — or longer if you want to pass the turnoff and circle back. You have to go under the highway to get to the trail, but once you start up the trail you can’t hear the highway noise.

Cougar Ridge to Lionshead Rock
Rife with berry bushes that bloom exclamatorily, this classic hike offers great views of Minturn from the top of Lionshead Rock. It’s good for out-of-town guests, as there’s a moderate climb with many stopping points along the way both to rest and enjoy the views. The trail is wide and well-maintained.

Meadow Mountain
Meadow Mountain offers a lot of trails in the summer and winter. In the summer you can stay on the wide Meadow Mountain Trail, or you can head into Grouse Lake or West Grouse Lake Trails. You’ll find great alpine floral meadows as well as some easy river crossings. Wear sunscreen.

Berry Picker
Vail Mountain
This hike is great for the solo hiker, families and avid hikers. A little more than 3 miles long, the trail runs from the top to the bottom of Vail Mountain. A lot of switchbacks lead you in and out of the trees and across a few creeks. The best part is that you can do a round-trip hike, or you can go one way and catch a ride up or down courtesy of the Eagle Bahn gondola. (It runs during both the summer and winter seasons.)

Booth Falls
East Vail
A good moderate hike, Booth Falls is also a great option for out-of-town guests — though they might consider it epic, depending on how acclimated they are. The beautiful scenery doesn’t quit on the entire 2+ miles until you get to the falls. You can either keep hiking from that point, or the falls make a nice turnaround point when you are looking for a shorter hike.

Vail Valley Bikes

For trailhead locations and turn-by-turn directions, visit

The North Trail
Singletrack heaven with great views of Vail Mountain, Gore Range and Vail proper. There’s a mix of gradual climbs and steep descents. It can be used as an out-and-back ride or a long loop for advanced riders.
Two Elk
Vail Mountain to Minturn
This is a thrilling full-day ride that should only be attempted by experienced riders. It offers views of Mount Holy Cross and Mount Jackson at the peak of the climb. After a strenuous climb up Mill Creek Road past the base of chair 10, you’ll bear left and leave the ski area. (This is where the ride gets really cool.) From there follow flowing singletrack across Vail’s Back Bowls, followed by a technical rocky descent into Minturn. Either ride the roads back to Vail, or call a friend for a ride.
A great early season ride, Boneyard “dries off” from the winter pretty fast. A fairly sustained and yet manageable incline with expansive vistas and juniper forests, there are great views of Red Canyon. Follow the singletrack up and back, or opt to do your return via the dirt road that parallels the trail or Redneck Ridge.
Allie’s Way/Village to Village/Arrowhead Mountain Trail
Beaver Creek Mountain
Go up the mountain on the main access road, and hop on Allie’s Way not too far past the horse stables.

This cruisy trail traverses Beaver Creek Mountain east to west, crossing ski runs and passing ski lifts overhead. The forgiving singletrack is good even for beginners.  The seldom-used Arrowhead Mountain trail is a roaring, switchback descent into Arrowhead Village.

A-10 Loop
A 60-minute climb is all that separates the bustle of the valley floor and the middle of nowhere. A-10 Loop offers great views of the New York range. Start at the Riverwalk and head east on Highway 6 to Arrowhead Drive through the ski area, using doubletrack, singletrack and service roads. The beautiful views just don’t stop. A quick descent brings you back to Edwards via rock gardens, pine forest and aspen groves. Be kind to your hands — fingers get the brunt of the abuse on this descent.

Racers At The Ready
There are several race series in the Vail Valley. The most extensive event, The Westin Athletic Club Mountain Bike Series presented by the Vail Valley Medical Center and East West Resorts, features seven mountain bike races varying in length from three to 18 miles for all categories of riders. From kids and never-evers to experts and pros — everyone is welcome to participate. For more information on the races visit

Misery loves company: What the Forbes survey of Chicago leaves out

Previous Next
(AP Photo)

Forbes recently listed Chicago as their fourth most miserable city, behind Detroit, Flint and Rockford—meaning that the states of Illinois and Michigan were having bad days overall. In part of their clearly objective calculus, they listed our high crime rate and weather as signs of our happiness deficit—because math said so. To an extent, I can see where they are coming from. If you’ve ever watched the news, even for a second, you know that crime in Chicago is a problem, and our crime rates on the South Side have been compared to Iraq. I don’t have to tell you about the weather. You don’t coin the word “Snowpocalypse” because everything is rainbows and kittens and sunshine. The weather is terrible, but you live through it. The redness of your skin, as you fight those below-zero winds, gives it character.

In most cities, the environmental and infrastructural issues would be cause for misery. But what makes Chicago special is that Chicagoans thrive in almost any condition. When the roads overflowed with snow in 2011 and drivers were trapped on the Dan Ryan, they helped each other to safety. On a particularly blustery January day, we huddle underneath the heat lamps for warmth, bringing shared comfort to friends and strangers. We provide for each other by bringing coffee to our co-workers, who are compatriots in our seasonal agony, and working up a smile, even in the most trying condition.

This is because Chicagoans prepare for the worst. Years of bad winters and digging our cars out of yet another blizzard have made us tough and prepared for anything. Why do you think our improv scene in Chicago is so big? It’s because Chicagoans are always ready to say “Yes, and?”—whether that’s with a pile-on joke, a punchline or a shovel. We're prepared for whatever life throws at us. In most cities, they stay indoors in the snow, hiding as if the apocalypse actually were coming. Here our universities and schools stay open and our baristas show up at 5 a.m., just like always, because we are going to need that extra cup as we brave the sodden trains.

It might be an annoyance, and our students complain when school isn’t cancelled. However, our refusal to cancel is an important aspect of our civic character. We refuse to back down, even if that means putting on another pair on Long Johns. This is what we signed up for.

And even in the most miserable conditions, Chicagoans find room not just for camaraderie but for joy. When the Snowpocalypse actually shut down DePaul’s campus—which, as a student, was a first—students took to the quad and the streets to go sledding. The empty streets gave us unexpected freedom, and we filled them with the games of our childhood. We built snowmen (and snowwomen) along Fullerton, and the truly adventurous even made snow angels in the middle of the road. The act was reckless and could have gotten the angel maker run over, but it showed we weren’t afraid of anything—whether nature or machine.

One of my best friends is from California, where snow is a cause for national emergency, and they don’t share that sense of seasonal community.  They don’t have to worry about the skies erupting with ice or a surprise 40-degree day turning back to the dark side by nightfall, when the winter returns to haunt us. The winters are idyllic and peaceful. Chicagoans may beg for a mild season in our worst winters—which we strangely miss during those years when the cold passes us by.

Last year I spent most of the fall season in Paris, and when I came back to Chicago for Christmas, part of me looked forward to the season I had grown accustomed to. The benign drizzle of the Champs-Elysees felt improper in mid-December, as if a law of nature were being violated, and when I returned to see that Chicago was the same, I felt like I had been cheated out of something. This wasn’t right.

When the site crashed for the Chicago Marathon last week, Chicagoans erupted in outcry, but I wasn’t surprised that half of the city apparently wanted to sign up. Endurance is part of our life cycle, and we know that the finish line is just ahead. There’s nowhere in the world quite like Chicago in the summer, as the city erupts in a three-month celebration of music, food and beer. Our hidden communities come out into the open. Every day is like a Pride parade, and even in 90-degree heat or sudden rain, you can’t stop the party. However, without the winter, those months feel unearned, as if you’ve been given a gift without doing anything to receive it. The winter teaches you to cherish the sun. When May and June roll around, you feel as though you’ve made it. You’re here. It’s like Christmas.

Chicagoans jokingly blame the seasons for our high crime rate—quipping that it’s enough to drive anyone off the edge—but they are a symbol of us. Like the winters, our city isn’t easy to love, and sometimes when the Red Line spontaneously sends me to Howard or I’m told the Foster bus won’t be here for another fifteen minutes, I curse that I’d rather live anywhere else in the world. I’d rather live somewhere where our infrastructure didn’t marginalize half of its residents with little public transit, while giving Lincoln Parkers every transportation option in the world.

Would it be easier to live somewhere where the schools weren’t a mess, and I didn’t have to ever hear the words "Rahm Emanuel"—whose name is approaching Voldemort status? Yes. But Chicago is my home, and the city has taught me that you fight for your home. You criticize it when it needs criticizing, and you work to improve it. A friend of mine, Wes Perry, recently referred to Chicago as an “ensemble” city, describing our penchant for ensemble-based performance—from Second City to Steppenwolf. However, I think that phrase describes our entire city, a series of ensembles, coming together to ensure the show must go on. To repurpose an old saying, there's no business like Chicago.

Chicago might not be the simplest city ro inhabit, but I can’t think of anywhere else in the world I would live. It wouldn't be home.

What do I need to bring with me to my appointments?

This is dependent on what you and your therapist decide. Usually, patients attend therapy in the clinic 2-3 times per week.

Blankets convey warm wishes from Chautauqua Lake students

April 17, 2013
Westfield Republican / Mayville Sentinel News

MAYVILLE - Chautauqua Lake Central School student leaders in the Sources of Strength wellness program continue to support several classmates who have been out of school most of the school year due to long term illnesses. Acting on a suggestion from teaching assistant Karin Shearer, the student organization purchased three large fleece blankets for these young people, whose courage and patience inspire their classmates. Secondary school students signed each blanket, adding words of support. Teachers and administrators were also invited to participate.

Sources of Strength is a comprehensive wellness program using peer leaders to change norms around codes of silence and help seeking, building multiple sources of support so when times get hard students have strengths to rely on. The pilot program, developed by the Department of Psychiatry of the University of Rochester, is part of a two-year study to combat bullying and youth suicide in high schools in New York State and in North Dakota. The Sources of Strength advisors at Chautauqua Lake Central School are teacher Steven Johnston and principal Josh Liddell.

WFP operations in Somalia start to return to normal

WFP operations in Somalia started to return to normal today after the disruption of the last two weeks.

WFP operations in Somalia started to return to normal today after the disruption of the last two weeks.

The United Nations is trying to estimate the levels of displacement of civilians in Somalia caused by fighting amid a gradual increase since last week of new Somali refugees arriving at the Kenyan border crossing point of Liboi to reach refugee camps at Dadaab.

However, most displacement within Somalia appears to have been fairly localized and people moved back home after security was established.

Kenyan officials, however, were quoted on Tuesday as saying the border with Somalia had been sealed. Some 260 Somalis at Liboi were awaiting processing to enter Kenya and reports said at least three vehicles carrying Somalis were turned back by the Kenyan authorities.

Air operation

UN Common Air Services passenger and cargo flights, which are managed by WFP, resumed last Friday from Nairobi to Somalia and are continuing -- though flights to Mogadishu cannot start until an assessment is carried out by the UN Department of Safety and Security.

National staff relocated by road from the southern port of Kismayo west to Afmadow, Hagar and then on Monday to Buale, which is under the control of the Transitional Federal Government, were flown on Tuesday to WFP's logistics base in the southern Somali town of Wajid.

A total of 10 WFP staff and five other humanitarian workers flew aboard a WFP plane to Wajid. One WFP member of staff stayed behind in Buale to reopen our sub-office.

The flights follow the Transitional Federal Government allowing humanitarian flights to resume after declaring Somalia's land, air and sea borders closed on 25 December.

WFP relief commodities and other items in Somalia are intact while all staff are accounted for.

Two international WFP staff returned to Wajid by UNCAS plane from Nairobi on Monday.

Food distributions

Food distributions to flood-affected people in Afmadow district of southern Somalia resumed on Monday after being suspended on 28 December.

In flood-affected areas, water levels are lower so WFP is exploring the possibility of resuming helicopter operations to reach locations that are still inaccessible by land.

WFP is also investigating the viability of resuming food delivery by boat. It is doubtful that airdrops from the Kenyan port of Mombasa will resume in Somalia given the improved road access and the relative expense of airdrops.

A WFP-chartered ship with 4,500 metric tons of WFP food arrived in Mogadishu on 26 December and started discharging the same day. While the Somali control of the port changed three times – from the Islamic Courts to a sub-clan to the TFG – dock workers continued to unload the vessel and completed their work by Friday night.

On 27 December, WFP announced the suspension of its helicopter operation delivering humanitarian aid from the Somali port of Kismayo and both its air drop operation and passenger flights from Kenya into Somalia.

On 26 December, WFP temporarily relocated two Mi-8 helicopters and 25 humanitarian workers from Kismayo to Nairobi. They included 9 WFP staff (1 national and 8 international), 14 crew members and 2 UN security officers involved in air operations from Kismayo.

On 24 & 25 December, WFP carried out airdrops into Somalia, dropping a total of 28 metric tons of food. WFP still has more than 100 national staff in Somalia operating from 15 offices across the country; they are continuing to distribute food to victims of the floods, the preceding drought and the most vulnerable in other areas.

While he is a fantastic player, it makes me wonder how closely some of these media types are following the whole NHL......he really shouldn't have gotten that LW nomination, as he played RW this year.

If a media person is only following his/her "home" team as a beat reporter, and not maintaining a league-wide perspective, I don't think they should get to vote on league awards.
