First, I must make a few disclosures in advance of this concert review. In a nutshell, I honestly did not know what to expect. My personal years of digging the band Journey were circa the 'Infinity' and 'Evolution' albums, so… late 1970s… geez, almost 40 years ago now. By the time they became a mega-huge pop band in the early 80s, my tastes in music had changed toward the more aggressive and/or more esoteric. Most of the Journey hits on classic rock radio were songs I truly disliked at the time they came out, since they directly flew in the face of my angry-young-man/anti-commercial attitude and lifestyle. However, we all age, and as a result we mellow out… one can't stay an angry young man forever. Indeed, I now often find myself scouring the used record bins to reacquire LPs that I had in my youth that had been sold back in the hardcore punk rock days.
So, here I was on the evening of Tuesday, March 28, attending the Journey and Asia concert at the Coliseum in Madison as a member of the press. I had many ponderances and tried to avoid speculations. I wondered if there was still an audience for this type of concert in Madison, especially at a venue the size of the Coliseum, whose heyday was many decades earlier. I wondered if I would enjoy myself, or be caught in a quagmire of revulsion being lumped in with the members of my own generation that never went down the path of expanding their musical or artistic horizons, and never experienced anything alternative-whatsoever in their lifestyles. I wondered whether this concert would have energy and appeal. Generally speaking, I was wondering what I was getting myself in to.
And so… (cue Bugs Bunny) "tonight what heights we'll hit, on with the show, this is it!"
Enter the Memorial Coliseum, now tagged with the corporate name of a major Midwestern energy company. My first thought was, hey, there are people seated in every row and every section of this approximately 10,000 seat arena… it looks like it should be a pretty full house tonight! The overall atmosphere was one of excitement and anticipation, and it looked like the majority of the attendees were dressed up for this occasion. Granted, most folks in my age group don't see several rock concerts a month like I do, so no doubt this event was a special rarity for many.
Promptly at 7:30 the lights went down and a massive fluorescent orange image of the Asia logo filled the stage area. To ample applause but without fanfare, the four-piece immediately kicked into "Wildest Dreams" from the 1982 debut Asia album. To illustrate the lack of fanfare, keyboardist Geoff Downes spent most of this selection with his back to the audience. New member Billy Sherwood (a guitarist/singer/songwriter in his own right, and the current replacement for Chris Squire in Yes) is filling the HUGE shoes left behind by the recent passing of founding member and legendary vocalist/bassist John Wetton. This night found Sherwood to be confident, animated, and in fine voice.
Asia stuck to their debut album for the next two numbers, "Sole Survivor" and "Time Again", which both showed off young guitarist Sam Coulson's impressive skills. Coulson's ability is way beyond his years, as he tossed off tight dexterous lead guitar lines, punctuated by chunky and driving rhythm work, which fired up the Madison crowd. He certainly didn't give the impression of any sort of doubt in his ability to fill the guitar role of a player of Steve Howe's pedigree!
Next on the set list was "Don't Cry" from the second Asia release, which went in to a thunderous Carl Palmer drum solo full of opportunities for crowd participation. Palmer is also the onstage spokesman for Asia. With all of the tragedies that the prog rock/fusion domain has encountered in the past couple years, notably the deaths of Palmer's ELP band mates Greg Lake and Keith Emerson, it did the soul well to see Palmer not only playing the living daylights out of his drum kit, but also radiating a joyous and sincere relationship with both the listening audience and his current musical compatriots.
After a brief keyboard interlude by Downes, Palmer mentioned Wetton's passing, and huge graphic of the late bassist's smiling face filled the projection screen. Wetton's composition "The Smile Has Left Your Eyes" was performed with emotion in dedication to Asia's fallen front man. The only downside of this touching moment was the distraction of several late-comers to the show, interrupting the concentration and enjoyment of those who had the common sense to arrive on time.
With shrieks of acknowledgement and pleasure, Asia wound down their short set (43 minutes!) with two of their biggest hits, "Only Time Will Tell" and "Heat Of The Moment", which got all the gathered faithful out of their seats to sway and sing along with the songs that left a big impression on their younger days. My only speculation regarding Asia's relatively brief set time was that the stage had to be reconfigured for Journey's presentation. It wasn't like the other gear was already set up as a back line… the stage crew moved out Asia's set-up and assembled Journey's in rather efficient fashion.
During intermission I noticed that indeed the Coliseum appeared to near capacity, and chatted with some of the folks seated nearby since my companion had left to get situated in the designated photography area. Everyone I spoke with were congenial and excited for more professional rock entertainment. I noticed that the alcohol stands were obviously doing brisk business, and the guy next to me commented that prices were $6.00 for either a beer or a mixer, which really isn't too bad for a major event. At any rate, the baby boomers were out enforce this evening, dressed to the nines, and ready to party like it was 1983 all over again. And on a Tuesday night even!
After a quick 20 minute intermission, the house lights dimmed again and by the high pitched screams you'd have thought John, Paul, George, and Ringo were walking on to the stage that was bathed in fluorescent black lights. The excitement was contagious, and as Journey launched in to their humongous MTV-era hit "Separate Ways" the Coliseum was suddenly ground zero for complete pandemonium. Needless to say, nobody was in their seat at this point, and almost everyone stayed on their feet throughout Journey's entire 110 minute show.
The opener was succeeded by a somewhat more obscure Journey song, "Be Good To Yourself", from the 1986 'Raised On Radio' release. At only two songs in, I was succumbing to abandon due to the infectious Journey formula. Yes, it's true, this jaded old punk rocker's head was bobbing up and down and I'm pretty certain my grin was threatening to split my face in two. Current vocalist Arnel Pineda was constantly all over the stage, seemingly in attempt to make direct contact with all 10,000 in attendance. And probably best of all, the sound was near perfection for a "large shed" show. It was loud, but not too loud for the room. Every instrument and vocal was clearly heard without any distortion whatsoever. In fact, it's fair to say that the woman right behind us screaming and whistling with mad hysteria was probably more of an issue to our hearing than what was coming out of the P.A.! But, as I said… some people don't get a chance to get of the house very often.
On April 7, Journey will be inducted in to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame at the Barclays Center in New York City. Two members have been with Journey since it's inception in 1973: bassist Ross Valory and guitar player Neal Schon, who began his storied career with Santana. I immediately was drawn to Schon's guitar work at this concert, and his playing truly had me thinking that sparks would shower from his fret board leading to spontaneous combustion of his instrument. At 63, Schon looks youthful, fit, and healthy, and his attire of denim shirt, leather vest, and shades lent a casual laid back vibe to his onstage presence. A delay-laden guitar solo section with swirly psychedelic lighting projections led in to a hammering version of "Stone In Love", which found broad smiles on all five band members. There was no question that they still loved playing these songs and were still having a great deal of fun performing in front of their fans.
Speaking of fun with a capital F-U-N, "Anyway You Want It" kicked the proceedings into hyperspace overdrive, which was no simple feat given the already stellar energy level! Arnel was still running about like a man possessed and ended the final sledgehammer chords of the song with a huge jump in to the air. It was as if he achieved lift-off!
Neal Schon came to the mic, acknowledging the passing of Asia's John Wetton, and asked for the complimentary cell phone lights from the audience as he dedicated "Lights" from 1978's 'Infinity' album to Wetton's memory. The Coliseum lit up, and again I found myself instinctively singing along, with every lyric somehow tattooed in to my subconscious all these years later. I just couldn't help myself anymore, I was caught up in the moment, and Journey had me helplessly in their spell. I also want to mention that every component of this group was equally balanced in excellence: Jonathan Cain's keyboards were always classy and emotive, even dramatic at times, and the rhythm section of Valory and longtime drummer Steve Smith were 100% uncompromised and locked in to the pocket.
In brief, "Open Arms" brought back teenage roller rink memories, and "Who's Crying Now" showcased another virtuoso Schon guitar solo. But then, the band launched in to two of the evenings hardest rockers and somewhat deep archaeological digs in to their catalog. "Chain Reaction" from 'Frontiers' (which had just reached it's 33 year anniversary) had Arnel strutting with his mic stand and making cocksure poses reminiscent of Freddie Mercury. "La Do Da", one of my own personal favorites, took the crowd by surprise, and even had them missing some of the sing along cues… although I knew them! "La Do Da" led into another head-turning solo feature: Steve Smith's uncanny drum solo, spotlighted by jaw-dropping synchronicity between his snare drum and bass pedals. I've always wondered how drummers could control their hands and feet in such a way that enabled perfect rhythm but yet every appendage is doing it's own independent thing. This drum exposé was the perfect example of this type of bewilderment on my part. It may sound cliché, but I was stunned and amazed! It's no wonder Arnel referred to him as Steve "Machine Gun" Smith.
When you're a guitar hero of Neal Schon's caliber, and you're days away from being inducted in to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, you do not merely get one solo feature segment in a concert, you get at least two, so the subsequent bluesier guitar solo characterized by impeccable sustain and technical ability, was of no surprise to this reporter. The moon and clouds imagery projected on to the big screens created a mysterious mood, especially as Schon went into a more digitally processed and artistic sound, which led straight in to "Wheel In The Sky", featuring Jonathan Cain on 2nd guitar.
The ballad "Faithfully" provided a touching moment for all of the couples in attendance to renew their vows, and the bombshell of "Don't Stop Believin'" initiated the mass hysteria and general reckless party atmosphere that had been in the air all night, especially with Arnel wearing a UW Badger cap and running in to the front seating sections. Not to mention the massive confetti bomb which blew tissue debris in to every possible section of the auditorium.
Journey's encore set consisted of "Escape", and "Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'", which featured a guitar / vocal mimic conversation between Schon and Arnel. The group stuck around to be individually introduced, and thank the fans for their unwavering support as they approach their induction date. In conclusion, I think the age-old adage can finally be put to rest: you CAN teach an old dog new tricks! At least THIS old dog found out that he can still surprise himself once in a while. I'll be the first to admit it… Journey ROCKED!

The Trust's Research Institute was established in just 1996 but, with over 30 staff, its work is dedicated to the study of bone marrow or, more precisely, haematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Broadly speaking, research at the Anthony Nolan Research Institute focuses on five main areas of immunogenetics:
- Improving the classification of tissue types to allow the most accurate identification and matching.
- Immunotherapy : Enhancing the ability of grafted cells to provide immune-protection for the host in combating residual leukaemic cells and helping to limit the problems caused by viruses after transplantation and providing optimum conditions for the rapid multiplication of healthy grafted cells.
- Alloreactivity: Ensuring the reciprocal acceptance of grafted and host cells.
- Bioinformatics: The curation of the WHO HLA nomenclature committee database (IMGT/HLA), ensuring consistency and documentation of new variants of HLA alleles. The bioinformatics group are also responsible for starting a new database for Killer-cell Immunoglobulin like Receptors (KIR).
- Immune reconstitution: The investigation of the factors that slow down or enhance the regeneration of immune cells in the body after transplantation and finding ways of enhancing the body's capacity for replacing damaged white blood cells after chemotherapy.
Haematopoietic stem-cell transplant is currently one of the main clinical treatments known to cure leukaemia completely but with survival rates of approximately 50%, there is still huge potential to increase its effectiveness and therefore its success rate. The Institute investigates topics related to pre and post transplantation practice; in general terms, how best to achieve an optimum outcome between donors and patients, and how to improve recuperation by preventing disease relapse.
Financially, immuno-protective research has recently been given a huge boost by the European Commission's autumn 2003 decision to award a grant of 8 million Euro into various aspects of bone marrow transplant, the largest ever grant awarded to an immunotherapy programme.
Professor Alejandro Madrigal, the Anthony Nolan Trust's Scientific Director will be heading an international consortium of world-class scientists, clinicians, key biotechnology companies and donor organisations from 13 countries in a massive research programme entitled ALLOSTEM – a very public acknowledgement of the Institute's international standing, and one we are very proud of.
Of the Research Institute's total budget, 69% is funded by the Anthony Nolan Trust through the provision of funds by public donation, the remainder being provided by research grants.
The Anthony Nolan Trust and Anthony Nolan Research Institute do not receive any government funding to help with their charitable work despite being the largest single independent register in the world.

Although we're not exceptionally busy people (no kids, both homebodies, etc.), my boyfriend and I have a tendency to get lost in our own things (him- usually playing videogames me- doing my nails or bingewatching a new TV series) so awhile ago we decided to make every Friday night our date night in!
We start off with the hard part- picking a movie to watch! I like Sci-fis, Action Movies and Dramas while he's more into comedies. Often we just alternate who gets to chose! Then comes my favorite part- food! We actually already usually purchase DiGiorno Pizzas for our date nights in so I was really pumped to have the opportunity to work with them for this post. We have always got their rising-crust pizza but they have a new product called the Pizzeria! Thin Pizza, here's some basic information about it:
DIGIORNO is introducing Pizzeria!™ Thin, an entirely new pizza. Crafted with care, using carefully selected ingredients, Pizzeria!™ Thin puts the proof in the Pizzeria! as one of DIGIORNO's most delicious pizzas yet.
- DIGIORNO Pizzeria!™ Thin starts with a preservative-free crust that is proofed for nearly 90 minutes before being baked in a 700 degree oven for a thin and crispy crust.
- With a unique, homemade shape the Pizzeria!™ Thin crust is drizzled with extra virgin olive oil for a hint of flavor and then topped with a specially-crafted sauce made from scratch using vine-ripened tomatoes, basil, thyme and oregano.
- New Pizzeria!™ Thin pizzas are topped with the 100% real cheese, premium meats, vegetables picked at the peak of ripeness and have no artificial flavors, so you'll only taste delicious ingredients.
The new DIGIORNO Pizzeria!™ Thin pizzas come in four different varieties:
- Supreme Speciale: Topped with caramelized onions, red & green peppers, premium pepperoni, Italian sausage
- Primo Pepperoni: Topped with premium pepperoni
- Margherita (unique to Thin): Topped with diced roma tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella, parmesan, romano and asiago cheeses
- Spinach & Mushroom (unique to Thin): Topped with spinach, garlic, mushrooms
Since it was his turn to pick the movie this week, I decided that made it my turn to pick the pizza (that's only fair, right?). I had a hard time choosing since they all sounded pretty good but in the end went for the Primo Pepperoni. Into the oven it went, and shortly after it became a little difficult to focus on the movie with all of our mouths starting to drool (including the dog's! Sorry Mugen, this one was too delicious for us to share any with you).
Once the pizza was done, we let it cool, cut into that bad boy and snuggled up on the couch with the cheesy goodness (trying to not feel too guilty for not sharing with Mugen, who was giving us some intense sad puppy dog eyes). The pizza was super delicious- after putting this post together I went out and bought another one, haha! The thin crust is nice and crunchy and everything is really flavorful. Not to mention- it actually looked better in person than the photo on the box (usually it's the other way around, right?). All in all, a relaxing and convenient date night in!
DIGIORNO is excited to hear what fans think of the new Pizzeria!™ Thin pizzas. They are asking consumers to taste for themselves and then visit the DIGIORNO Facebook or Twitter page (@DiGiornoPizza), to share feedback and pictures using the hashtag #YouBeTheJudge.
They are so confident you'll agree that New Pizzeria!™ Thin is delicious, that they are offering a "Love It Or It's Free Guaranteed" refund. If for some reason you try the new Pizzeria!™ Thin and don't like it, you can visit DIGIORNO.com for more information on how to receive a refund.
What about you guys? Let me know your date night in routine in the comments!

Three States voiced against
Pahang, Kelantan MBs back Terengganu over Perdana car maintenance cost
KUANTAN, July 24 – The menteris besar of Pahang and Kelantan today came to the defence of Terengganu Menteri Besar Datuk Ahmad Said over his insistence that Proton Perdana V6 Executive cars incur high maintenance costs.
Both Datuk Adnan Yaakob and Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat agreed with Ahmad that it was costly to maintain the national cars.
Ahmad had said that the high maintenance cost had driven the Terengganu government to decide on the purchase of 14 Mercedes Benz E200 Kompressor cars at a cost of RM3.43 million to replace the Perdana cars of its state executive councillors and senior government officers.

Pluggable Model Conventions
One of the things that I really like about ASP.NET MVC is its extensibility story.
In the recent deliveries of the ASP.NET MVC Ramp Up I've shown a sample project with a few extension applied. Some of these have already been published on the blog: Html.EnumDropDownFor and integrating the jQuery UI datepicker.
A lot of the time, my motivation for using the extensibility points is to remove repeated code. Essentially, if I find myself repeatedly going through the same process then I like to find ways to remove some of the repetition. Within ASP.NET MVC, there are ways to use model binding, action filters, etc to achieve this. In this post I'll walk through creating a ModelMetadataProvider that allows additional conventions to be used in models that will influence how the view is rendered, and the validation that is applied.
Setting the scene
Before looking at the extension, let's take a look at the scenario that it will be applied in. I've created an ASP.NET MVC 3 project that will allow us to work with a (slightly contrived) Product class:
public class Product {
[HiddenInput(DisplayValue = false)]
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
[DisplayName("Unit Price")]
public decimal UnitPrice { get; set; }
[DisplayName("Launch Date")]
public DateTime LaunchDate { get; set; }
public string DescriptionHtml { get; set; }
My Edit.cshtml view simply uses the EditorFor helper to render the editor for a product.
@Html.EditorFor(m => m.Product)
Here we can see that I've annotated the class to customise the metadata that ASP.NET MVC uses. I've specified DisplayName so that my editor uses "Unit Price" rather than "UnitPrice" as the display name.
The DataType annotations combine with some editor templates that I've created for date and html (see Integrating with the jQuery UI datepicker for more details on this) to give me a simple and consistent way to handle date and html data entry as you can see in the screenshot below.
It's also worth noting that I've added the AllowHtml attribute on the DescriptionHtlm property to allow this field to contain html when submitted, and have created a ValidateHtml attribute to ensure that it only allows safe HTML. (NOTE: if at all possible don't allow HTML to be entered, but if you choose to then perform proper security reviews and use something like http://antixss.codeplex.com to validate/sanitize the html).
So far we're using the standard mechanisms for annotating to change the way that data is rendered and validated. However, there are DisplayName attributes that are used to set a user-readable display name by adding spaces into the property name. The "Date" suffix on the LaunchDate property could be viewed as an indicator that the property is a Date rather than a DateTime.
So what if these are conventions that I decide I want to follow? Wouldn't it be nice to have ASP.NET MVC respond to those conventions? The remainder of the blog post will look at how we can achieve this…
Pluggable Conventions
All of the attributes that we saw above are fed into ModelMetadata that EditorFor and the validation feed off of. By default this is driven by reflection and the data annotations, but this is completely extensible via ModelMetadataProviders. The aim is to create a custom ModelMetadataProvider that allows different behaviour to be added so that it can be re-used with different sets of conventions.
public class PluggableConventionsModelMetadataProvider
: ModelMetadataProvider
private readonly ModelMetadataProvider _innerProvider;
private readonly List<Action<WrappedModelMetadata>>
_conventions = new List<Action<WrappedModelMetadata>>();
public PluggableConventionsModelMetadataProvider(
ModelMetadataProvider innerProvider)
_innerProvider = innerProvider;
public override IEnumerable<ModelMetadata> GetMetadataForProperties(
object container, Type containerType)
return _innerProvider.GetMetadataForProperties(container, containerType)
public override ModelMetadata GetMetadataForProperty(
Func<object> modelAccessor, Type containerType, string propertyName)
ModelMetadata innerMetadata =
modelAccessor, containerType, propertyName);
return CreateMetadata(innerMetadata);
public override ModelMetadata GetMetadataForType(Func<object> modelAccessor, Type modelType)
ModelMetadata innerMetadata = _innerProvider.GetMetadataForType(
modelAccessor, modelType);
return CreateMetadata(innerMetadata);
public void AddConvention(Action<WrappedModelMetadata> convention)
private ModelMetadata CreateMetadata(ModelMetadata innerMetadata)
WrappedModelMetadata metadata = new WrappedModelMetadata(this, innerMetadata);
foreach (var convention in _conventions)
return metadata;
This class is mostly just wrapping the base ModelMetadataProvider type. It takes an inner provider so that we can use it in conjunction with another provider, and it uses WrappedModelMetadata to wrap the metadata that the inner provider returns. WrappedModelMetadata is pretty much just a wrapper around an existing ModelMetadata instance that allows us to override properties and change the associated provider ( see the attached downloadable solution for the implementation)
To register our new provider and set up the conventions we can use the following code is global.asax.
ModelMetadataProvider current = ModelMetadataProviders.Current;
var conventionsProvider =
new PluggableConventionsModelMetadataProvider(current);
conventionsProvider.AddConvention(m =>
if (m.PropertyName == "Id")
m.TemplateHint = "HiddenInput";
m.HideSurroundingHtml = true;
conventionsProvider.AddConvention(m =>
if (m.DisplayName == null)
m.DisplayName =
conventionsProvider.AddConvention(m =>
if (m.PropertyName != null && m.PropertyName.EndsWith("Date"))
m.DataTypeName = "Date";
conventionsProvider.AddConvention(m =>
if (m.PropertyName != null && m.PropertyName.EndsWith("Html"))
m.DataTypeName = "Html";
m.RequestValidationEnabled = false;
m.AddValidator(new ValidateHtmlAttribute());
ModelMetadataProviders.Current = conventionsProvider;
Here we create the PluggableConventionsModelMetadataProvider and setup our conventions before telling ASP.NET MVC to use it in the final line. With this custom provider in place, we can strip our Product class back to
public class Product {
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public decimal UnitPrice { get; set; }
public DateTime LaunchDate { get; set; }
public string DescriptionHtml { get; set; }
This is a bit lighter-weight, but the conventions we've created will
- automatically
- add spaces to the display names for us (i.e. to render "Unit Price" rather than "UnitPrice" etc)
- set the data type for LaunchDate to Date so that we pick up our custom Date template
- set the data type to Html for DescriptionHtml, specify that the property is allowed to have HTML and also add our ValidateHtml check
Wrapping up
Here we've been able to stream-line our model type by adhering to a set of conventions that we can plug in to ASP.NET MVC that give a more rapid workflow. A nice side effect is that we can use a single trigger (e.g. the "Html" suffix) to add multiple rules: setting the data type, allowing HTML and validating that the HTML doesn't contain nasty elements.
You might not want to add these specific conventions, but the beauty of this is that you can customise the conventions that you want to use. What rules to you consistently follow? Embody those in conventions so that ASP.NET MVC can automatically give you your desired behaviour :-)

When the St. Louis Blues take to the ice for the next round of the Stanley Cup playoffs, at least one fan on the Greenville College campus can say he knows firsthand what it takes for the winning NHL franchise to produce a game.
Trey Adams, a student in Professor Jane Bell's Operations and Event Management class, shadowed personnel in the Blues organization last semester.
Job shadowing for students is like test-driving a car. The "shadower" traces the steps of workers to learn how their daily routines might translate into one of life's big-ticket items—a career. A valuable shadowing experience presents opportunities for conversation and hands-on engagement.
What kind of shadow-hosts were the Blues to Trey? Excellent, according to criteria cited by experienced job-shadower Aja Frost in Newsweek. Here's a snapshot of how the Blues fared on six criteria.
Smart scheduling – Eric Stisser, senior vice president-corporate sponsorship of the Blues, hosted Trey at Scottrade Center in downtown St. Louis. The ice arena, centerpiece to a twelve-story glass structure that opened in 1994, seats more than 19,000 spectators. Stisser's smart scheduling allowed Trey to participate in behind-the-scenes hustle on game day, plus time for Trey to ask questions. He learned about Stisser's eight seasons as director of corporate sales and marketing with the St. Louis Rams before overseeing a staff of 40 in his current role with the Blues.
Shadow-friendly instructions – Prior to Trey's arrival, Stisser made arrangements that smoothed the process for Trey. These included securing a parking pass and detailing to Trey what he should do upon arrival. The student also received a tour of the facility that proved helpful later on as spectators filled the building.
Involve colleagues – Stisser introduced Trey to two members of his team, both involved with corporate relations. As the day progressed, they guided Trey in aspects of their work. He learned about their personal career paths, working for the Blues organization and countless details that comprise "game day" at the Scottrade Center.
Detailed agenda – Clarity instills confidence. In a short meeting with his shadow colleagues early on, Trey received a detailed schedule for the day that included his name assigned to various functions.
Shared work assignments – Trey's hosts assigned him to tasks that were simple, but valuable. He updated the workroom calendar, conducted the "44-board check" (inventory of sponsors with ads on the rink), and distributed Blues jerseys to 50 special guests. He also helped survey the arrival of fans for "one kid" to have a photo op with Blue's players—an especially enjoyable task.
Meaningful interaction – Upon invitation, Trey later joined Stisser in Suite 243, the vice presidential suite, to watch the game. They briefly reviewed Trey's shadow experience and enjoyed conversing with Stisser's other guests over hamburgers and nachos with cheese and chili.
At the outset, Trey was nervous stepping into the unknown—the operations side of a team valued at $270 million by Forbes. The face-to-face grace extended to him by Stisser and Stisser's corporate sponsorship team, however, helped dispel those fears and pave the way for learning.
On reflection, Trey said the job shadow experience helped him understand expectations and the work ethic those expectations require. Score, Blues!

|It's really a 'One More Lap' bike. The 167 always makes you want to go for "just another lap", and to restrain oneself from doing so, thereby avoiding the dreaded One More Lap curse, requires supreme self-control... but f*ck it, sometimes you have to break the superstition and go ahead. The problem comes from turning up late to dinner, BBQs with friends, and work. - Seb Kemp, Whistler local
|The Process 167 is a bike that owes its existence to Kona's belief that there are still riders out there who don't give a toss about magazine covers touting the next so-called "quiver killer." Just shut up already about that nonsense and get on a bike that's meant to be good at what you like doing most, right? Well, not always, but that really is the best approach for so many things, and it's especially true when it comes to having fun on a mountain bike. All around perfection is boring when you can have a bike that's so damn good at one task that you can look past its faults in other areas, which is exactly what a 167 owner will end up doing. - Mike Levy

BONUS – Sixteen Hopes and Wishes for My 16-Year Old
After I finished recording Episode 21 (Haven't listened to it? Click here), I kept going. I decided I wanted to also share sixteen hopes and wishes and ideas that I wanted to encourage my new 16-year-old with as he enters this new year of his life.
As a bonus episode for you this week, I'm going to share that with all of you – they're the hopes I have for my son, for your children, for you. I hope these ideas give you a little something that helps make the load lighter or gives you a little inspiration and encouragement as you go through your week.
I'm so grateful for you!
See you next Tuesday!

North Hollywood Locos are known as rats. Their all weak rat paisas. I seen one of them get their face slashed in the joint. Wasn't a pretty sight.
North hollywood locos are not even around anymore. They faded out when they were green lighted. Lots of those dudes turned out snitching and because of that they got a f#@$ked up name. A 15 man gang that never had much of a name other then rats.
I ran into some foo they call hermit from clanton that use to be from north hollywood locos. When we jammed him up about it he didnt deny it. He just said he wasnt about to claim a hood of snitches so he got jumped in clanton. But some serious sh*% north hollywood ain't sh*%. Not even one of those hoods got any made m&m's. That same foo said radford st are san fer chickes cause those foos are trying to come up.
Now I didnt know if I should of believe this but now its been confirmed that northside faketeen are getting hit hard by east side faketeen. Now how in the f#@$k does that happen? Nothing but politics and somebody must of pissed somebody off. I guess they can't officially be green lighted by their own hood. It looks more like someone is cleaning house. Always something happening on these twisted streets.

KNOWN FOR THAT GUNPLAY THATS WHY YOU ALL RUN WHEN YOU HEAR LOKOS!
There is paperwork you dum blank. Plenty of paperwork. Your small gang isnt sh*%. Never was sh*%. Never will be. So take your sniveling chick blank back to your no name wannabe hood. Gun play??? Your a joke just like your mojado 3 man hood. Lil chickes in the joint getting punked by real surenos while you chickes ride with the paisa cars or get smashed to the sny prisons. Most of you chickes are also undercover foos. Smoking meth while blowing each other. f#@$k north hollywood jotos! f#@$ken snitches. You better think twice before you chick blank responds
f#@$k you f#@$ken nappyheads , you should be the last one talking after I punked you and f#@$ked u up 3 times already f#@$ken chick !! On and I f#@$ked your ex Johanna ahaha , your a chick you f#@$ken flake went up to you and trying to keep it friendly f#@$ken weak green eye chick

north hollywood locos are dead. I live on denny in north hollywood and there is no one around. my brother even says that they died out years ago. I see nothing but clanton tagged all over the place.
There is paperwork. Paperwork has been floating around for a minute. Not just on one fool but several. sh*% maybe they need to start posting the paperwork on the internet to really smut the lokos up. This sh*% needs to be brought up at the next meeting wiith all the sur riders from the valle. Wait a minute I think your hood is the only one thats not invited because of this smut. Every other hood has a rep that shows up minus your weak hood. Go figure

Teach a Child, Learn Like a Child
On a recent trip while teaching at South Africa Yoga, my hosts and I were visiting some local daycare centers that we were doing some work with. Some of the schools were made out of old tractor trailers, and some were made from sheet metal. I remember how impressed I was that the community had come together and made such nice, clean facilities for the children given their limited resources. They had a need in their community, and took actions to see a solution was put into place… brilliant!
Something that was also very memorable to me was a simple sign made out of construction paper posted on the wall inside the first school we visited. It was a list of ten rules and was entitled Teach the Children. When I read it I thought, "This isn't just for children, this is for all of us!"
- Love your parents, brothers, sisters and grandparents.
- Respect your elders.
- Look after the animals, the land and every living thing.
- Appreciate what you have. Do not be greedy. Do not take what does not belong to you.
- Be proud of who you are. Leave a legacy other people would love to find.
- As you journey through life, live each day as if it was the last. Don't allow obstacles to block your journey.
- Knowledge is power. Never stop searching for the answers.
- Educate yourself every day. It will give you the freedom to be who you want to be.
- Beware of strangers.
- Follow your dream and never give up!
Ten simple rules for us all to live by as taught to me by the children of South Africa… brilliant!
This is absolutely outstanding. I truly love it. I want to print it out and hang it up and share with everyone!!!! Thank you Carri!!!
Love the list! Very cool to hear about the community awareness as well – it sounds like they as a whole are living out that list.
Carri, I read your blog in my email at work today. I work as a customer service rep for Gap Inc., Direct. Athleta is one of the brands I take calls for in the contact center. I just want to tell you I found this so inspiring. It drove me all day to be my best. I love common sense and lessons that teach social sensitivity. This is both. It is beautiful. I shared this on my wall on Facebook. Carri, thank you for sharing this beautiful story.
Wow, thanks so much Sue. I am honored to hear you were inspired by and even shared the story. I was hesitant to submit it since it was so short, but then I thought…that's exactly the lesson…simple and back to basics! I like how you refer to it as "social sensitivity." This inspires me to share the list with my classes starting tonight!

We have been sitting on the most wonderful news for weeks. There is a very special person coming to Ecuador about mid January. If you read Ecuador blogs you already know her. Mary Beckman of South of Zero is coming to Ecuador.
Chuck and I are very excited and want to get the word out.
We are driving to Guayaquil to meet her at the airport on January 19th. From there we will go to Salinas and hope to visit with Nancy and Joe Levin and after a day or two we will drive up to visit Leigh in Olon, and then to visit Bob and Rox in Manglaralto, near Montanita.
We will arrive in Cuenca about the 23rd or 24th of January. Mary will be in Cuenca about 12 days.
Mary will be staying with us during her visit here in Cuenca. She wants to meet as many of you as possible. If you have a blog that she promotes I am sure you will want to meet her too and let her know how much you appreciate all she has done for us.
We are going to have a get together of all the bloggers who live here in Cuenca. The time and place has not been set. If you have a blog and would like to be included please send me your email. Our email is firstname.lastname@example.com. This way I will have your email to let you know the details once we have them finalized.
Here is a picture of Chuck, Mary, me and Steve when we visited them in California.
Mary, we will see you in a couple of weeks. Pack a light jacket for Cuenca and some shorts and bathing suit for the beach!
Nancy and Chuck

I've been a life-long fan of animation and recently have been reading the history/how-to/survey 'Animation: The Whole Story' by Howard Beckerman. The book discusses early stabs at animation, including J. Stewart Blackton's 'The Enchanted Drawing' and the jaw-droppingly racist (but that's how people were, we're assured) 'Lightning Sketches'.
Thanks to YouTube you can actually see 1900's 'The Enchanted Drawing' and marvel at how we got from there to the likes of 'Spirited Away'. It addresses universal themes like the joys of consuming alcohol.
Also on YouTube: 'The Humorous Phases of Funny Faces'
Neither of the aforementioned are quite what we think of as cartoons today, but rather film-enhanced versions of vaudeville-era 'chalk talks'. This 'Felix' cartoon from 1923 is considerably more sophisticated (and entertaining).
Unfortunately, I was unable to locate 'Gertie The Trained Dinosaur' (1914).

- Warren King began sculpting cardboard to add fantasy to the lives of his children.
Christmas was a few weeks ago and I'm still tossing cardboard boxes into recycling. Perhaps I should reconsider putting it out on the curb and turn it all into lifelike sculptures of my neighbors.
Ok, I'm not that talented. Warren King, however, is very talented and his cardboard people creatures are fascinating and amazing.
Warren King began sculpting with cardboard as an attempt to add fantasy to the lives of his children, creatively crafting masks and helmets out of the recyclable material. This slowly evolved into a more time-consuming arts practice as King began focusing less time on costumes, and more time making large sculptures of his own.
After a visit to his grandparents' village in Shaoxing, China, the New York City-based artist felt compelled to more deeply connect with his cultural past. This sparked Grandfather's Friend, and Arrival Times, a series of life-size cardboard recreations of his ancestors.
Check out King's grandfather and his friends.
King's cardboard sculptures will be shown in the exhibition Art of Asia starting on February 2nd. To see more of his work, check out his Instagram and Flickr accounts.

Conservation District set for fifth annual clays shoot
The Elk County Conservation District's will hold its fifth annual Clays for Conservation shoot on Sunday, July 21 at the St. Marys Sportsmen's Club.
Participants in the wobble trap and doubles shooting event will get their shot at 75 birds upon paying a $25 registration fee.
With the money raised, the Conservation District will sponsor a local student to attend Conservation Camp which teaches students about the field of conservation while providing hands-on learning experiences.
Interim District Manager Kate Wehler said that the money will go to St. Marys Sportsmen's Club which works to send students to camp each year.
"It's kind of expensive to send kids…the Sportsmen's Club tries to send as many kids as they can and we sponsor one of them," Wehler said.

Based on: The novel 'Le Tour du Monde en Quatre-Vingts Jours' by Jules Verne
Story: Playful retelling of Jules Verne's classic novel, starring Jackie Chan and Steve Coogan. Chan plays Passepartout, valet to the neurotic, time-obsessed English inventor, Phileas Fogg (Coogan), who has made a wager with fellow members at his London gentleman's club that he can traverse the globe in only 80 days using as many kinds of transportation as possible (from boats and trains to hot-air balloons and elephants). Unfortunately, the London police have mistakenly identified Fogg as the perpetrator of a bank robbery that took place just before he left the country, and a relentless detective is in hot pursuit of the unlikely pair. To complicate matters further, Passepartout is not what he seems: he is in fact notorious Chinese thief Lau Xing, and has entered Fogg's employ for the prinicipal purpose of lying low after stealing a priceless jade Buddha...

Often times you'll hear or read in car and car part reviews how much of a problem heat soak can be for turbo cars, expecially modern ones with small turbos, double expecially if the car has a top mounted intercooler!
In order to study the validity of such claims, you'd need to collect some real world data from a car instrumented to record post intercooler temperatures over time while the vehicle is being used in a manner such that it would produce a great deal of heat.
Well as it turns out I tool my 2015 WRX to a track day this past weekend and it happens to have an Accessport which is capable of datalogging ECU parameters and an engine that utilizes a manifold air temperature sensor (intake temperature manifold) in addition to a pre-turbo inlet air temperature sensor.
The above plot is what that looks like on the latter 700 second half of a 20 minute track session. The red line is ITM, it does of course oscillate with boost pressure, but never does go over 126 degrees. Sure we'd love to have that a whole lot closer to ambient, which can roughly be approximated as 82 degrees, from the intake air temperatures, but at no point during 11 minutes and 40 seconds of track track use does it spiral out of control, lead to massive power loss and engine death...
Any questions?

Power Stars Online Slot Machine Review
Facts and Figures
Certified Payout Percentage – Plenty of slot games can be found online, in fact there are thousands of them available, but one thing that you can guarantee about Novomatic slots is that they all come with very high payback percentages and this Power Stars slot game is one of the better paying slots you will come across online.
Stake Levels – Be aware that a minimum coin setting of just 0.04 needs to be put into play to spin the reels of this Power Stars slot machine and if you are in a high rolling state of mind then they can be increased right up to a maximum of 5.00 which makes a maximum bet spin 100.00.
Jackpot Payout – The jackpot payout is 1000 coins, and this is won when 5 red sevens spins into play on one of your win lines., do not think that this fairly low jackpot is not worth playing for as there are a set of special expanding wild symbols in play on the reels and as such when they spin in on any of the reels they can be found on, namely the middle three reels, then it is possible to win multiple jackpot payouts on one spin, that is if you are playing as many paylines as is possible.
Standard Reel Symbols – The standard symbols are Red Seven, Bell, Watermelon, Grapes, Plum, Orange, Lemon and Cherry.
Scatter and Bonus Symbols – There are no bonus symbols on this slot, but keep on reading for information about a special wild reel symbol which does have a rather unique task and feature attached to it.
Wild Symbols – The stars on reels 2, 3 and 4 expand to become wild, if you have only 1 or 2, the other reel will respin in the hope of filling all of the positions on reels 2, 3 and 4. This will then give you guaranteed wins in both directions.
Bonus Features and Bonus Games
Free Spins – There are no free spins on this slot as it is a low tech type of Novomatic bonus slot machine.
Bonus Game – There are no bonus games on this slot, but do give it some play time if you are seeking a fast playing and potentially very high paying video slot and one on which some very large winning payout can and are awarded from time to time. There are several other slots from Novomatic that have a range of different bonus games attached to them so checkout our other slot reviews for more details.Offer valid as of date published.

Great article Kevin and good
Great article Kevin and good to see a fresh perspective on PM traits and not just the same old standard traits so often regurgitated.
I think your first 2 points are key - everything else is surmountable if a PM is good with people and can unify teams. A united, motivated team can pretty much achieve anything IMO

When planning for significant change, it is important to solicit feedback and engage people in the process. This helps build ownership in the transition and make employees more likely to support the change and even champion it.
Executives and those responsible for leading change cannot assume that employees understand the reasoning behind them. Management must spend time explaining the changes and why they are essential. There are four key aspects to helping employees understand change and drive their commitment, that will ultimately contribute to success.
Inspire people by presenting a compelling vision for the future. By clearly articulating the meaning or purpose behind the change, employees will gain a better understanding of the business strategy.
Keep employees informed by providing regular communications. Change communications is never a one-and-done event; keeping employees informed is something that management will have to do throughout every step of the change process.
Empower leaders and managers to lead through change. Major changes or transformations often require asking employees to adopt specific behaviors or skillsets to be successful. When senior leaders model the behavior changes, transformations are five times more likely to be successful.
Find creative ways to involve employees in the change. When planning for significant change events, it is important to solicit feedback and engage people in the process. This helps build ownership in the change.
When leadership lets employees know they are committed to communicating openly and transparently, and articulates how the change will benefit employees, team members are more likely to commit. Read more...

July 13, 1998, Section A, Page 14Buy Reprints
Sandra Cisneros, the poet and novelist whose work explores the relationship between home and identity, did not want her own long-yearned-for house to be bland or timid or understated. The old coat of beige paint it had would not do. Ms. Cisneros found what she was looking for in Sherwin-Williams Corsican purple. Overnight, her bungalow became the Purple House.
It has become a kind of blank canvas, as well, layered with symbolism and inspiring intense passions and debate in this proudly Mexican-American city. Depending on who is looking at it, it is a work of art, a flagrant violation of the rules in Ms. Cisneros's historic neighborhood, a flag signifying Mexican-American pride, an embodiment of border culture, a symbol of freedom of expression, a sign of Ms. Cisneros's identification with her Mexican-American roots, a reflection of Ms. Cisneros's uppityness, a brilliant publicity stunt, a tourist attraction.
''My granddaughter calls it the Barney house,'' said the Rev. Tom Chavana, a nondenominational minister who lives across the street.
San Antonio has plenty of colorful buildings -- the new library is enchilada red -- and a purple house might not have created such a stir were it not for its being in the historic Victorian King William neighborhood. The city's Historic Design and Review Commission ruled that Corsican purple was historically incorrect -- even if it was ''exquisite,'' as Milton Babbitt, the architect in the group, called it -- and had to be changed.
A year later, with the novelist and the city negotiating over the color, the house is still purple, though its original intensity has faded somewhat in the Texas sun.
Elsa Calderone, 73, who lives a block away and is confined to her home because of poor health, insists on being driven by whenever she goes to the doctor. ''It's like a fairy tale,'' said Mrs. Calderone, whose own house is white. ''I belong to the King William Association and I agree with their standards, but once in a while you need something like that to brighten up your life.''
People have come from all over to see the house, writing down their opinions -- everyone has an opinion on the Purple House -- on the legal tablet that Ms. Cisneros, ever the probing novelist, has attached to a clipboard on her front gate.
''Beautiful house,'' wrote Jeff from San Francisco. ''I love the color. What's the problem?''
A man named Gene Elder wrote: ''I love the discussion that purple has brought to the community.''
''I love it -- they can shove it,'' wrote Maria from Chicago.
One of seven children of a Mexican upholsterer and his Mexican-American wife, Ms. Cisneros, 43, grew up up in Chicago but traveled often to Mexico City to visit her grandmother. ''What the house is saying is, 'I'm very Mexican, and I'm proud of it,' and that it's another way of being American,'' the author said in a recent interview.
Ron Gossen, the vice chairman of the historic commission, said he thought the Purple House was saying something else. ''It's not about ethnicity,'' he said. ''It's about eccentricity.''
''Ms. Cisneros has written about the working class and downtrodden all her life,'' added Mr. Gossen, a banker whose house is brown brick. ''Yet she's acting like the privileged class that doesn't have to follow the rules.''
As for the purple, Mr. Gossen finds it ''appalling.''
Ms. Cisneros drives a small red pickup truck with a bumper sticker that says ''Wild Women Don't Get the Blues.'' She is ''nobody's mother, and nobody's wife,'' according to the author's note in her acclaimed novel, ''The House on Mango Street'' (Vintage, 1991). She shares her two-bedroom house on Guenther Street with five cats, three dogs and two parrots.
''Of course her house is purple,'' Jan Jarboe, who is also a writer living in San Antonio, said admiringly. ''I'm surprised it isn't dripping with rhinestones.''
Rhinestones do, in fact, decorate the horseshoe beside Ms. Cisneros's front door. Her dog Violetta, a small mutt who often accompanies her to readings, has a rhinestone collar.
Ramon Vasquez y Sanchez, who oversees public art for the city and also sits on the commission, says he considers the Purple House to be public art, and historic besides.
''The color purple is pre-Columbian,'' Mr. Sanchez said. ''If you want to see purple, go to Mexico. I told them, 'You're using a northeastern palette for colors. What you should do is realize where you're at.' ''
The mansions built by the wealthy German merchants who settled Ms. Cisneros's neighborhood in the late 19th century are mostly white and beige. But the historic commission has not aggressively enforced color rules, and King William, home to struggling artists and laborers as well as bankers and lawyers, also has bungalows painted pink, orange and even red, white and blue.
In ''The House on Mango Street,'' the narrator, a young girl named Esperanza who lives in the Chicago barrio, is ashamed of her ''sad red house, the house I belong but do not belong to.'' What she longs for: ''A house all my own. With my porch and my pillow, my pretty purple petunias.''
Ms. Cisneros's porch has a pink floor, a bed for lounging and a stuffed bull on the wall. Outside there are pink geraniums, yellow sunflowers, a flock of pink plastic flamingoes and a purple swing set.
''I always wanted my own swing set,'' the author said, giving a tour the other day.
Her house is filled with books, altars to the Virgin of Guadalupe, and the exuberant paintings of her artist-friends. The walls are green, pink, purple and even white.
As for the exterior, both Ms. Cisneros and the city say they hope to reach a compromise. Ms. Cisneros, who has rejected such suggested colors as Plymouth green and Colonial-revival tan, has proposed repainting the roof terra cotta. The city has yet to respond.
''It's like a novel,'' said the author, who is finishing her second novel, ''Caramelo,'' about a Mexican-American family. ''You have to guess how it will end.''

I don't think he'd be overly concerned if you were interested to satisfy himself. Your age is irrelevant as long as you make his day.
Yeah, I understand your "bride" is a real bruiser! Does she great you with a rolling pin at the door when you come home from work?
Only if I ask her to.
Are they all veiny and gross? Because I am into Blue Movies.
I don't need to wax. I'm nearly hairless, except for the top of me head.
She has the legs of a 20 year old. And the experience of a mature woman.
Nice !
Want the forum to be fun... Links us all... Please consider posting salacious images of women in a thread called old man cave!
Aww. Thanks, Ibby. Your very presence on this forum improves it by 1,000%.
I'd be around more often if it weren't for work.
A couple of points: You threatening me would be akin to being mauled by a sheep.
I know. Thank you for your part in keeping America Awesome.
Exactly how much experience do you have with sheep mauling? When does it cross past the heavy petting line? Ewe
READ THIS, AND READ IT WELL! MV has! That's why this place ROCKS!http://www.econlib.org/library/Essays/rdPncl1.html
I check in a few times a week. I got bored reading the same flame wars over and over. The Falkie thread is really the only thing I check and I occasionally post a rant. It changed during the election. I dont think it will ever truly die just not as many people post anymore.
Ha! Obviously, if he wasn't threatened by my posts he wouldn't feel the need to obsessively respond to them as if the future of the free world depended upon it but he does and so he is.
That was Senda's private thread. Just pics of big boobed women. Or so I heard.
Needless to say, you'll never be responding to mine again? Win win!
but i never did that. i simply said that going forward, the show would instead be hosted by anyone on the forum who volunteered to host, first come first serve. eddie or i would run the mixer and put each show on the air. eddie didn't want to do it, as evidenced by the number of shows he did after the change (i think zero?)the "regular" gabcast hosts invited ponyboysunset to be a regular host, for whatever reason regretted their decision a short time later, came to me to clean up their mess, and the volunteer hosting situation was my solution.to my knowledge, the only people "peeved" by the whole thing were the gabcast clique, which is largely why you no longer see them posting on this forum.
MD (not really a doctor)
So VERY threatened.
Sure but I've never said you're attacking me or accused you of being a troll even though you really are. I know you're just too low IQ to actually be able to use reason to convince of something. Personal attacks are all you got, baby! I don't want to take that away from you.
By you? Fucking hell old son, I've had a few things in life that I'd consider a threat, you're not even in the "Watch out for that crack in the pavement, you might trip and break an arm" category. But that still doesn't make you a doctor.
The only thing the other George Senda (aka Falkie) has ever done for many people in this forum is create stunned gasps, which happen when novices dont realize a post is about a different George (other than Noory!) I cant tell you how many times I've come to a screeching, gasping halt before I figure out the George mentioned is not George Noory, but the other George who:You Tubes himself toplessGuzzles soda or beer on produced videosComplains the store only had Snapple in sugar-freeBemoans misplacing his glassesVents about his spats with his girlfriend online (and allegedly beats her)Films his groceries, including toilet paper, making comments about how much toilet paper he usesComplains his cash flow takes too longThreatens to never post again if so-and-so postsHangs up on usersDebates over copyrightBlocks users from PMsAnd whose biggest fans have all been banned here I guess (except maybe one).He is probably fine as regular fellas go, depending on one's taste. But. I. Draw. The. Line. There are minimum standards in public production (at least for my kind of public) that he just doesn't meet. Even a foreign bride-for-sale on Skype knows to sit with her back to a clean wall to make a good impression! As it stands, I'm sorry, but y'all are nuts. People have gleaned here very well, but the material they are working with....! Life already has enough material like that?At least his clothes are clean, he keeps up his nest, he articulates, he uses clean language, and he is real. Very, very gritty.I suspect he is tolerated for his love of animals.
I get that you're into this magical thinking but you repeatedly stating that I'm not a doctor doesn't make it so. It also makes you seem desperately pathetic. The real question is why are you so threatened by authority figures? Has it effected your ability to maintain employment?
It's like, everywhere in Bellgab lately. Senda is so gross!
Read and learn from George and his thread..Embrace your Faklieness... we are all the same..Love ALL is the only way out
But you're not an authority figure. Or a doctor. You carry no authority, not even over yourself, with all that oozing and dribbling down your string vest. You're here pretty much 20 out of any 24 hours so I know you're not a doctor. Perhaps you once thought you'd apply for med school when you got the grades at school. But you didn't, because you didn't. Again, a doctor that does not qualify you being. Sorry but it doesn't.

I was born on June 22, the second day of summer. It is also the birthday of Kris Kristofferson and Meryl Streep, both of whom, I'm told, I later resembled, although not at the same time.
Sixty is a big round number, seeming to mark, once and for all, the difference between middle age and the thing that comes after that. Who else turns 60 this year? Madonna, in August. Prince and Michael Jackson would have, too, if they'd made it.
As for me, I had always hoped I would arrive at this age with equal measures of joy and acceptance — grateful for what has mostly been a happy life, even if wistful that there are surely more days behind me now than ahead. I had imagined myself on this birthday sitting in an Adirondack chair, listening to all my intolerable 1970s music (Gentle Giant! The Mothers of Invention! Fairport Convention!) while my loved ones expressed their adoration, prog-rock notwithstanding.
Well, there was plenty of that last week. We had lobsters and corn and steamers on the deck here in Maine. My wife, Deedie, put some candles in a blueberry pie, and everyone sang their hearts out.
But there's a constant shadow hanging over everything now, even on the happiest of days.
In June 1958, I was born in a country in which a Republican president had recently signed the first civil rights bill since Reconstruction, marshaled Congress to spend millions of dollars to create the federal highway system, ended a war and, in collaboration with our allies, helped keep America at peace.
I turned 60 in a country in which a Republican president separates babies from their mothers and puts them in dog kennels, tries to buy the silence of his porn-star ex-mistress, shakes the hand of the North Korean dictator in exchange for apparently nothing, defends racists, mocks the disabled, demolishes health care, explodes the deficit to benefit the wealthy, attacks the free press and lies and lies and lies and lies and lies.
I was born in a country where people said, "I Like Ike." I turned 60 in a country led by a man who doesn't appear to like much of anything — excepting, of course, himself.
Who is to blame? In large measure, my generation. Americans 65 years and older — all my tie-dyed brothers and sisters — favored Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton by a considerable margin, seven percentage points, according to exit polls.
It's shocking to me that so many of the people I grew up with reconsidered the whole all-you-need-is-love thing and decided, upon reflection, that all we actually need is a giant border fence to protect us from Mexican rapists. Also: military parades! Did I mention, uh, Space Force?
So, while I'm celebrating this birthday with gratitude I'm also determined, going forward, to keep fighting back as best I can. If that sounds pontifical and self-serving I hope you'll forgive me. The elderly get this way.
We also are given to sharing unsolicited advice.
In that spirit — pull up a chair, sonny! — I offer the following additional observations about what it means to be 60 in 2018.
• First off, siblings are great, but never forget that sometimes what you need most are your cousins.
• It is fairly unlikely that anyone really wants to see pictures of your children, or your grandchildren, or your cat.
• Dogs are fine, though.
• Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels, except for maybe fresh pizza hot out of a wood-fired oven, garnished with kosher salt and freshly chopped basil leaves.
• It is unlikely you will ever speak a foreign language as well as you did in high school.
• It costs nothing to forgive people who have wronged you. Forever bearing the burden of anger, on the other hand, will eat you alive.
• It is impossible to lose weight unless you also stop drinking.
• If you have writer's block, lower your standards, and then revise.
• You never stop missing your parents, no matter how old you get, no matter how long they have been gone. Or, for that matter, your children.
• It is possible to believe that whole chunks of the Bible are ridiculous without losing your faith.
• Admit when you are wrong. The older you get, the more frequently you'll have the opportunity.
• Have a sense of humor about everything, including the things that are the saddest. And the state of the country not least.
I cannot say I'm grateful to Donald Trump and his enablers for bringing me to this point. But I am energized by the prospect of all the work at hand.
The historian Barbara Fields once said, "You can say there's no such thing as slavery anymore, we're all citizens. But if we're all citizens, then we have a task to do to make sure that that, too, is not a joke. If some citizens live in houses and others live on the street, the Civil War is still going on. It's still to be fought, and regrettably, it can still be lost."
I may be old now. Fair enough. But this fight will make me young.
