The Chris Gethard Show: Public Access (2011– )
The best hour of your week
The Chris Gethard Show has earned a following of die-hard fans from all over the world. I'm just one of those many fans. I had heard about Chris's public access show in Weird New Jersey magazine. He seemed like a cool dude. I started watching the show last July and immediately fell in love. I think the first episode I watched was one where Chris invited a man of experience onto the show to answer questions about life and what young folks can expect from it. It was such a real and genuine show. I had to watch the rest of them.
I went back to the very first show that was filmed at MNN and watched that. That first episode began with a promise to its audience which makes the show so endearing to me. That was that the show will be outrageously funny or that it will fail so hard that the failure will be funny. They haven't broken that promise in any episode. The stunts and jokes they fail at are made up for with heart. Chris and friends aren't afraid to laugh at themselves and can see humor in every situation. I continued to watch all the episodes thereafter and haven't missed a single one. There's always at least one moment in an episode where I laugh so hard for a solid 20 seconds.
It's not just me that has similar feelings about the show. Many young adults feel that the show has helped them through some tough times. Chris isn't afraid of delving into and discussing his own mental health for his viewers. In that way, he makes it so his viewers aren't as afraid of their own mental health and can perhaps find some trace of humor in their situation.
There aren't many shows on TV nowadays where the host and cast have as much heart invested in their show as The Chris Gethard Show. That's enough for me to keep watching.

"I see you've traded in your spear for a short staff," Mortigan observed.
Locklar pretended not to hear, but the magic-user was undeterred.
Locklar just kept walking, the feathers attached to the top of the five-foot pole waving in the breeze.
Mortigan nearly offered a snappy comeback, but decided against it. Best not to take chances, he decided.
When blown through forcefully, a magical dart is fired from this long, narrow wooden tube. A normal to-hit roll is required, with standard missile adjustments applied. A hit causes 1d4 points of damage. Two darts may be fired per round for a number of rounds equal to half the user's constitution (rounded up). After that, only one dart may be fired per round until the user has rested (no firing) for five minutes.


It really does say a lot about a Presidential candidate when his closest advisers don't trust him to have control of his own Twitter account in the final days running up to the election.
No matter how controversial, Donald Trump has never shied away from broadcasting his thoughts on social media. However, The New York Times reported that with mere days to go until the election, he had to surrender control of his account to his campaign team in a move that's widely believed to save the Republican nominee from damaging his own chances with a Twitter gaffe.
Barack Obama, who had been campaigning for Democratic nominee Hilary Clinton yesterday, obviously got word of this and, having been on the receiving end of Trump's Twitter trigger finger recently, decided to have most presidential of digs at Trump's expense.
"If somebody can't handle a Twitter account, they can't handle the nuclear codes."

Many people enjoy their holidays with friends and family around elaborate meals that include seasonal favorites. Unfortunately, many holiday food choices aren't normally part of a regular diet. Rich, heavy foods, sugars and alcoholic beverages cause some to worry about gaining extra pounds during the holidays. However, few consider that holiday food choices can also impact their urological health. Food can play a key role in aggravating urological conditions such as overactive bladder, chronic pelvic pain, and kidney stones.
Overactive bladder (OAB) is a condition associated with urgent or frequent urination. It's that 'gotta go, gotta go' feeling and the need to get to a bathroom before having an accident. Estimates show that 50% of American women and a third of American men experience OAB. overactive bladder can be either wet or dry and is not always associated with urinary incontinence. Normal urination is considered six to eight times in a 24 hour period, including getting up once or twice at night. Anything above these numbers is considered overactive.
These food are known bladder irritants. They may be consumed on a regular basis, but probably in larger amounts during the holidays. Reducing or cutting out these irritants can help relax the bladder. This helps the bladder hold more urine for longer periods of time. Remember, controlling OAB is not just about drinking less fluid. Good bladder management includes changing beverage and food choices. These choices can also help reduce the symptoms of Interstitial Cystitis (chronic pelvic pain).
Consuming holiday foods may also result in gaining a few extra pounds. Obesity is just one factor that can lead to the development of kidney stones. Having too much calcium in the system, or too much uric acid (common with eating red meat) can also cause stones to form.
So as much as we allow ourselves to enjoy holiday treats, there can be residual health problems that last well past the holiday season. Although the urinary tract system may not be 'top of mind' during the holidays, it may be the only thing you're thinking of afterwards.

While technical skills remain an important part of any engineer's potential, what matters most to companies often lies off the resume. How do you work with others? Are you accountable, honest? Can you pitch in when needed?
We caught up with five fast-growing Austin tech companies to learn what sets the engineers that work for them apart.
Steve Gregory, a senior engineering manager for identity management platform SailPoint, highlighted the importance of a team-first mentality. Gregory also shared an engineer's unique reading habits that demonstrated a passion for continuous learning — something his team members often possess.
Tech Tools: Java 8; Angular; Node.js; Python; Scala; AWS Stack (EC2, S3, Glacier, DynamoDB, SES, SN S, SQS); Kafka; Kafka Connect; Zuul; CloudWatch; DynoTrace; Prometheus.
What non-technical qualities are most important to succeeding on SailPoint's engineering team?
We look for people who put the team before the individual. Someone with a hunger and unquenchable passion to build quality solutions that fix real-world problems. They have to be successful in a collaborative team environment, be a contributor in all aspects of their job, have a desire to learn and mentor, and possess a willingness to jump in when the situation requires it. We like honest people who have the ability to recognize the value and work of the people who surround them. And a sense of humor always helps.
What have you learned about an engineer that blew you away?
One candidate once told me he read 10 books, some technical, some not, at the same time. After reading a chapter, he changed to a different book. This was how he gained knowledge and it worked for him. The interesting part of this discussion was the path that this candidate took to get to this realization. It was instructional and led me to ask myself whether I would be able to analyze myself to that extent to generate such insight. The demonstration of continuous learning really stood out.
For Opcity engineers, having a solution-forward mindset is as important as having experience developing full-stack applications. Senior Director of Engineering Dave Ruback shared a few other qualities that he looks for in members of his team.
Tech Tools: React; Redux; Python; Flask; Twilio; Elasticsearch; PostgreSQL; AWS; XGBoost; TensorFlow; PyTorch; PyMC3.
What non-technical qualities are most important to succeeding on Opcity's engineering team?
While Opcity has grown quickly, our 30-person product and engineering team remains lean and agile. Collaboration, data-driven decision making and solution-minded are all necessary qualities of Opcity engineers. Opcity provides a unique opportunity to have a significant impact and set the direction on major technology decisions, while at the same time enjoying the stability of a more mature company. We hire full-stack developers who can move seamlessly between technologies. Being a coffee snob who likes ping pong and live music helps, too.
The last candidate who blew us away asked insightful questions about our company values and how they relate to the day-to-day work as an engineer. A lot of companies don't actually embody the values they put on the wall, so we like when candidates really dig in to see how we put our values into practice; it shows us that's something they're mindful about. The candidate cared deeply about the team they would be joining as well and demonstrated they would thrive on a collaborative development team.
Scott Tsuchiyama, a senior site reliability engineer at Bestow, stressed his appreciation for team members that exude humility as well as different approaches to problem solving.
Tech tools: Python; Golang; Postgres; React; Kubernetes; Terraform; Google Cloud.
What non-technical qualities are most important to succeeding on Bestow's engineering team?
For us, humility, interest in purposeful learning and overall interest in being a great team player are most important.
The last engineer that really blew me away was in a nontechnical interview. It was the gracefulness with which how they walked me through, from their perspective, difficult situations and their mindset of always needing to understand the problem from all of the angles in order to best solve the problem.
Manmeet Duggal, Personify's VP of engineering, said that being a team player isn't just important to his team, but to the entire culture at Personify. His example of the last time an engineer he met really floored him is a pleasant reminder that a positive attitude goes a long way.
Tech Tools: C#; MVC; RESTful APIs; Jquery; React; Bootstrap; SQL Server 2016; MongoDB; MySQL.
What non-technical qualities are most important to succeeding on Personify's engineering team?
Critical thinking is integral to the field of engineering and is a key quality we look for in members of our team. Being self-driven and taking initiative is also important to succeed in our fast-paced and challenging industry. We like to say "having aptitude with the right attitude" is the right combination for our team members. Lastly, being a team player is important to our team and culture here at Personify.
The last time a candidate really made an impression was an engineer. His confidence, attitude, aptitude and critical thinking really stood out. His extremely positive attitude and willingness to work through problem statements along with openness for feedback impressed me. The candidate did research on Personify before the interview, showing strong initiative, and was able to articulate how he could be a good fit within the culture of Personify. Demonstrating these critical technical and non-technical qualities gave us the confidence that he would be a valuable addition to our team.
SourceDay's Head of Engineering and Product Mark Garcia mentioned the two qualities that are must-haves to join his team. He also noted a sought-after communication trait that often goes unnoticed during interview evaluations.
Tech tools: Ruby; C#; MySQL; AWS (Lambda, Kinesis, Athena, VPC, EC2, ElasticCache); Semaphore; Cucumber; RubyMine; DataDrip.
What non-technical qualities are most important to succeeding on SourceDay's engineering team?
We look for individuals who have the aptitude for decomposing a problem to find a true solution. In concert, exercising critical thinking skills allows one to be more autonomous and fuels the need to be self-driven. These two skills truly allow us to accomplish more and succeed as a team.
I was interviewing a candidate for an engineering DevOps role. The interview evolved rapidly, going from technical to talking about hobbies and travel. The way the candidate was able to articulate and carry their thoughts really stood out. The level of concision is an often overlooked trait for a candidate in this day and age of being technically strong behind a keyboard. How you communicate with your peers across an organization is just as important.

Volkswagen has finally launched the new generation of the Passat in India and it's priced at Rs 29.99 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi). The Passat will be available in two variants and sadly there's no plug-in hybrid variant introduced yet. First unveiled at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, the Volkswagen Passat followed the design language of the new age cars from VW. The wide stance and the sharper design made it look better than before. Though the car shares its underpinnings with the Skoda Superb, both cars look worlds apart. The new-gen Passat has taken nearly three years to come to India but the launch has been a much awaited one. We say this because we've already driven the car and know exactly what it's all about.
the Volkswagen Passat gets a sharper design language over its predecessor. Compared to its predecessor, the proportions are better with a longer wheelbase and a lower body. Characterized by horizontal lines, it features a crisp and angular shape. You also get a wide triple-slat grille, LED headlamps with signature DRLs and dynamic Light Assist feature.
At the rear, the up level LED taillights change their graphics from horizontal to vertical when the brakes are applied. The overall design looks smoother and clutter-free and the car looks longer as well. However, the new Passat is 2 mm shorter, but gets a 79 mm longer wheelbase. In the process, the new generation Passat gets shorter overhangs, while the model is also 12 mm wider and 14 mm lower than the previous model. The boot capacity has been increased by 26 litres to 586 litres.
Under the hood, the new generation Volkswagen Passat will draw power from the 2-litre TDI four-cylinder diesel engine tuned to produce 174 bhp, while paired to a 6-speed DSG automatic transmission. There's no manual transmission on offer. Sadly, due to the current taxation structure in India, Volkswagen will not be bringing in the plug-in hybrid version of the Passat yet, but it is on the cards. The all-new Volkswagen Passat will have a host of rivals to compete against including the Toyota Camry, Honda Accord as well as its Czech sibling the Skoda Superb.


Another sell out race for New Marske's Locke Park Pie and Peas 5mile race. Evenwood's John Clifford and NYMAC's Paul Lowe went out fast looking to burn off enough room for the Pie and Peas that greeted them at the finish. Paul had the edge in the final couple of miles and came home in 27:03, 10 seconds ahead of John with Noel Hitchcock of Sunderland Harriers 3rd in 28:20.
For the Ladies, New Marske's Kay Neesam was 1st in 31:34, Quakers Dawn Richardson 2nd in 31:49 and New Marske's Kath Aspin 3rd in 32:58.
The prizes were awarded in order of Age Graded % with 69 year old Darlington Harriers Athlete Shirley Gibson coming out on top with 86.2%, Paul Lowe 2nd 86.1% and Kay Neesam 3rd with 85.4%. Other New Marske prize winners included Kath Aspin 9th, Ronnie Sherwood 18th, Paul Cleasby 20th, Brian Allen 22nd, Lorraine Allamby 24th and Trish Speedie 25th.
It was a great night for personal bests with the 1st three across the line all getting PB's along with New Marske's Paul Cleasby 29:49, Cheryl Poulter 41:15 and Caroline Chinnock 45:21.
For the first time in Club's history New Marske Harriers had a ladies team in the English Marathon Championships at the London Marathon. Kay Neesam, Sharon Bulman and Kath Aspin along with Shaun O'Grady had all got the qualifying standard to start with the Elite men on the Championship Start. The three ladies all had great runs with Kay finishing in 3:03:08, Sharon PB 3:04:15 and Kath PB 3:13:18. The overall team results have not yet been announced but they did well against much younger opposition.
Also running amongst the 39,000 runners were Martin Murray who clinched a Championship Start qualifying time with a PB of 2:44:01, James Allinson PB of 2:55:25, Shaun O'Grady 3:04:14, David Hodgson 3:34:22, Charlotte Ellis PB 3:52:07, Kelly Brearley 4:57:54 and Helen Tyerman 5:15:43.
Also running in London at the Virgin Marathon Mini Marathon were Hassan Ben-Tiba who was 48th in his age category and Rebecca Tilley 39th.
Apologies for the limited number of Photos, but in 39,000 runners it is difficult!
The weather forecast wasn't good, so those took the chance were rewarded by better than expected conditions and some really good runs. 40+ PBs on the night!
I would never of thought in February 2012 when I decided to put on a pair of trainers and go for a run (instead of sitting for 2 hours most nights on a poolside, drinking lattes, eating biscuits and gossiping whilst my daughter swam) that I would ever complete a marathon.
On Sunday 10th April 2016, 5 members of New Marske Harriers, which included Joanne Goldsmith, Stewart Hart, Neil Walker, Glen Farrell and myself travelled to Manchester to run their marathon.
I did not see the other 4 members of New Marske Harriers as they started further towards the front as I was stood in the 'happy to finish' section.
As I stood wearing my new club vest waiting to start I was filled with mixed emotions, extremely nervous yet excited at the same time.
My goal was first to finish the run, second not to come last and third if possible finish under 5 hours.
My strategy was to stay with the 5 hour pacer for majority of the course and if I was able to, pull away from them. However, she seemed to set off at a lot faster pace. I then had the dilemma of 'do I try and keep up with the pacer' or 'listen to my body and remain at the pace I was running at'. I decided on the latter as I recalled the inspirational words of my coach, Graham Hall 'you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube'.
A couple of miles in and my nerves settled as did my pace to 11 minute miles and I started to enjoy it.
The highlight for a lot of the runners I was close to was passing the Coronation Street Studios between mile 2 and 3, quite a few took selfies with the studios in the background.
Reaching approximately 4.5 miles it was encouraging to see my husband Brian and Graham and Diane Hall cheering as I passed.
The atmosphere was fantastic as were the supporters and marshals who lined the majority of the course. The entertainment along the course was amazing and certainly helped to carry me around the course.
Between mile 16 and 17 I caught up to the 5 hours pacer and managed to pass her. At mile 17 I was met by Brian, who ran a short distance with me to where Diane and Graham were stood. It is hard to believe how seeing familiar and friendly faces if only for a short period of time can raise your spirits and give you the encouragement and determination to keep plodding on. Brian left me before kindly reminding me that I only had another 9 miles to go. Brian, Diane and Graham then made their way back to the mile 25, which is where I next saw them.
When I reached mile 20 I thought right, I did this 4 weeks ago at Locke Park every mile after this is a bonus. I still felt good, although my pace had dropped slightly to 11.08 minute miles but I was gradually passing more and more runners.
Mile 23 and my thoughts were 'only a park run left', I can do this.
It was around mile 25, when I next saw Brian and he ran the remainder of the course with me. This really spurred me on and increased my running pace. When we passed Diane and Graham the end was in sight and at this point all I wanted to do was to finish.
As I crossed the finish line I felt elated and had a lump in my throat. I could not believe I had actually ran it, finished and how emotional I felt. All those months of training had finally paid off.
I said I wanted to run one marathon and that would be it, but running is addictive as is the buzz you feel at the end. I will certainly consider running another marathon in the future.
A record 533 finishers completed the annual Hartlepool Marina 5 mile road race in near perfect conditions. Taking a break from writing about Premier League chasing Middlesbrough, the Gazette writer and New Marske Harriers Athlete Dom Shaw glided to victory setting a new course record of 24:24 knocking a minute and a half of the previous course record set by 2nd placed Middlesbrough and Cleveland Athlete Greg Jayasuriya, 25:57. Quakers Michael Joyeux completed the top 3 in 26:07.
Dom took control of the race after the first mile and steadily picked up the pace to set his 3rd PB in 4 weeks following on from PB's in the Trafford 10K and Thirsk 10 mile race.
It was good day for the New Marske men with 17 year old Hassan Ben-Tiba coming in 4th in 26:29 to pick up the junior prize and 16 year old Harry Allan, 7th 26:45 clinching the men's team prize for New Marske.
In the ladies race, North East Masters Cross Country Champion Joasia Zakrzewski strolled to victory in 28:54 in a race dominated by veterans. New Marske's Kay Neesam was 2nd 30:36, Darlington's Bernadette Caygill 3rd 31:45 and New Marske's Kath Aspin 4th 31:53. New Marske completed a clean sweep of team prizes winning the ladies team prize with Kay, Kath & Trish Speedie picking up the Champagne on offer.
Along with Dom Shaw there were also Personal Bests for New Marske's Harry Allan, Kay Neesam, Trish Speedie, Julian Wilkinson and Helen Tyreman. The race also combined the North East Masters 5 mile Championships with Kath Aspin picking up a Gold Medal in the Vet45 category.

Like, Omigod! Digging Through the '80s Pop Culture Box, Part 10
We're letting the music do the talking for the most part, this week — because this stretch of Disc Three is all killer, no filler! Or, as panelist Mike Heyliger put it, "If I was making a list of my 100 or so favorite songs of the '80s (ooh, there's an idea,) then three of this week's five tracks would be on it."
#6, Missing Persons, "Words" (1982)
Peaked at #42 US, though it was a Top Ten hit in Australia.
[youtube id="IasCZL072fQ" width="600″ height="350″] Dw. Dunphy — I like the energy of the song and I think Dale Bozzio does a pretty good singing job here, but her Lene Lovich-isms get on my nerves after awhile. I lump this song in with "Jukebox (Don't Put Another Dime)" by The Flirts, and have no sensible reason for why that should be.
Ted Asregadoo — Terry Bozzio's drumming talents were surprisingly muted on "Words" and other songs by Missing Persons. Perhaps it was the complexity of working with Frank Zappa that motivated the Terry and Dale to move toward a more simple sound. Perhaps it was the New Wave that was bubbling up around them. Or perhaps it was just a desire to grab some cash by trying to write hit songs.
Whatever the case, the songs on Spring Session M were pure pop confections that brought their career out of the shadow of Zappa and into the world of contemporary hit radio. As far as "Words" goes, it's one of the weaker singles that came off of the album. I'm more of a fan of "Walking in L.A." and "Destination Unknown" — which, to me, sound more New Wave than "Words."
Jon Cummings — What a bizarre blip of a career peak this band had! It's rare for a group to have not one or two, but three big (and long-lasting — they're all still ubiquitous on '80s-centric stations today) radio hits off a first album, then fall to obscurity so quickly.
Jack Feerick — Yeah, to come out of Zappa's band and then do this — it makes me think that maybe Patrick O'Hearn deserves most of the credit for the sound of Missing Persons. (Although Warren Cucurullo did end up joining Duran Duran, so there's that.)
Dale Bozzio is an odd one. The Lene Lovich vocals, all the skin, the outfits — I guess maybe it's supposed to be sexy? But it's so far away from any normal person's idea of sexy that it ends up being eerie instead.
Dave Lifton — This sounds like it started as two different songs that got combined into one. I love the chorus but could do without the squeaking in the verse. When I hear those affectations on a New Wave record a giant flag that says "COCAINE" goes off in my head. Still, for a group that's considered a prototypical synth band they had a great guitar tone.
#7 The Human League, "Don't You Want Me" (1981)
Hit the top spot in the US, the UK, Canada, Belgium, Norway, New Zealand… it was pretty big, okay?
[youtube id="uPudE8nDog0″ width="600″ height="350″] Chris Holmes — One of the unexpected things I've encountered about this series is that it's revealed just how uneven synthpop from the era could be, especially once I wipe the fog off my nostalgia-tinted glasses. But any way you look at it, this song is just great. So great that you can be forgiven for overlooking what a mediocre vocalist Susan Ann Sulley is on it.
Dunphy — The dispassionate singing kind of makes the song. We were just getting into the heavy-synth side of New Wave and were on the edge of the New Romantic thing (imagining Spandau Ballet's "True" is only a couple posts away), so the robotic delivery works. And when we talk about a song that was EVERYWHERE in its time, we're talking about this. It was unavoidable. I'm amazed that I still have warm feelings about it.
Lifton — This was a favorite of mine at the time. I had a friend who had a Roland Juno-6, which was the coolest thing I had ever seen at the time, and I was so jealous that he could replicate the sounds of "Don't You Want Me" almost perfectly with it. Now it just seems quaint and dated.
Last summer I was trying to write a post that compared this with Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know," with the idea being that they're both he-said-she-said accounts of a breakup. It never got written because I got bogged down in trying to figure out if wanting your records back and shutting off all communication is as bad as ditching the guy who took you out of near-poverty for no real reason. I figured I might as well mention that here so it's not entirely lost.
And now that I've written it, I see a direct connection between "Don't You Want Me" and "To Sir With Love," which is superior to both these songs.
Cummings — If you're just running down the list of #1 hits, "Don't You Want Me" is pretty much where the '80s began, in terms of an internationalist punk/New Wave aesthetic reaching critical mass on American pop radio. ("Pop Muzik" and "My Sharona," from '79, refute my thesis to at least some extent, but I'll just label them outliers and move on.) Oakey's flat, droning vocal, the synth part any tween could re-create on a Casio … we now think of this song as a pillar of '80s music, but at the time it sounded profoundly out of place on pop stations, which was of course what made it so dominant. It seemed like a novelty song at the time, tucked in amongst "Ebony and Ivory" and "Rosanna" and "Eye of the Tiger." Within a year, though, pop would be replete with songs that fit more comfortably with the Human League than with Toto or Survivor.
Asregadoo — A fantastic video to a song that may not have made if it weren't for MTV. The members of the band looked so cool in that video that it was difficult not to like "Don't You Want Me" for the images it conjured up in one's mind. Plus, for me, there was the "cool factor" of saying I liked The Human League — if only to differentiate myself from stoners and cholos in high school. Phil Oakey's emotionless voice with Susan Ann Sulley's slightly more expressive singing provided a kind of robot "He said, She said" back and forth that was undeniably novel for the time.
Feerick — This sounds so icy and sleek and futuristic that it took me a long time to realize that it is, in its format and theme, essentially a country song. Not only do the lyrics call to mind the great "Success (Has Made a Failure of Our Home)," which Johnny Mullins wrote for Loretta Lynn; but you can easily imagine "Don't You Want Me" recast as a classic duet between Dolly Parton and Porter Waggoner, or Tammy Wynette and George Jones. And once you've imagined it, you can't un-imagine it.
#8 Haircut One Hundred, "Love Plus One" (1982)
Reached #3 UK,; peaked at #37 US.
[youtube id="5_msHpEa3_Y" width="600″ height="350″]
Dunphy — And speaking of the New Romantic swoop-y voice, here comes Nick Heyward in Haircut One Hundred. That sound would be much more pronounced with "Whistle Down The Wind." I can't say I was particularly influenced in its time by "Love Plus One." For some reason it did not get as much radio action in my neck of New Jersey. We were probably up to our butts in Bruce around this time, so marimba-laced Britpop wasn't likely to make deep inroads. How The Human League and our next song made it relies solely on two words: "music video."
Lifton — It's pleasant but there's really not that much here. Every time I hear it I don't know what song it is until the title is sung in the chorus. There's very little here to make it stand out among the other great singles that were coming out of Britain at the time.
Feerick — Maybe it's a natural consequence of living in a shabby grey country that the Brits, like nobody else, know how to craft music as gloriously sunny and carefree as this. It gives me that easy-breezy tropical vibe, but it's not really derived from island music. There aren't any clear signifiers of ska or calypso in the arrangement — if anything, the horns make me think of South African township jive — but there's a wonderful lightness to it. But like a lot of Brit tropicalia, there's a deeply-buried melancholy current.
Holmes — A minor pleasure to be sure, but any song with marimba gets bonus points from me.
Cummings — This scraped the bottom of the Top 40 just as "Don't You Want Me" reached the top, and (musically speaking) was a goofy, sunny counterpart to the other song's dark and ominous quality. Whenever I think of "Love Plus One" I like to place it in the context of Nick Heyward's profoundly lovely "Whistle Down the Wind" from a few years later, and revel in the fact that he was capable of both.
Asregadoo — I was a big fan of Haircut 100, but knew them first for the song "Fantastic Day." "Love Plus One" wasn't as jaunty as the aforementioned single, but the video did reveal another side to the New Wave of music coming from the UK: preppy rock. The guys in the band looked harmless, probably liked to cuddle with their girlfriends, and engage in really rough behavior like munching on toast and sipping tea in the summer time. Hardly edgy as a public persona, but clearly Nick Heyward demonstrated that he was a master of pop music.
#9 Men At Work, "Down Under" (1981)
Hit #1 just about everywhere.
[youtube id="Y8PkKXecBGU" width="600″ height="350″]
Holmes — God, what a great song. And what choreography in the video! What else is there to say?
Feerick — Told you it was going to be a short column, folks.
Lifton — Even bigger than "Don't You Want Me" in the early-80s was Men At Work. Those first two albums were huge in my life, and their silliness appealed to my adolescent sense of humor. I had gotten over it by the time Two Hearts came out in 1985, because I had discovered Springsteen by then. But I think their best singles still hold up, not just as nostalgia, but as very well-crafted songs.
Feerick — As the youngest of six kids, I grew up listening to the canon of classic rock and pop — even the edges of postpunk and the New Wave — secondhand, via my older siblings. Men At Work was the first band that I ever felt was mine, my own from the start and not an inheritance from someone else.
Asregadoo — Ah, Men At Work…I have such hot and cold views of this band. A flute (!) as the dominant instrument in the song made it less New Wave than a throwback to the wimp rock of the '70s. Indeed, if if wasn't for the quirky acting of Colin Hay in the videos, I'm not sure if Men At Work would have been able to conquer the world of popular music. That said, there's certainly there's no denying that "Down Under" is a good song. It has many of the requisite elements that make for great pop music: memorable music hooks, a catchy chorus, and verses that tell a kind of story of a land that very few knew about. The Australian Ministry of Cultural Domination must have been very happy when "Down Under" came out because without it, it's possible there would be no Foster's Lager in the U.S., Outback Steakhouse, and Aussiewood.
Dunphy — And who could forget the music video to this. People gravitated to Men At Work because they were goofy and affable. But if you sit with the Business As Usual album and listen to it as its own thing, attempting not to be influenced by the hits, you find it is a really sturdy record… a lot more to it tonally, despite it being very "snappy" in that '80s kind of way (I've wondered what a slowed-down take of "I Can See It In Your Eyes" would be like). Had the record been taken in this manner, I think the band would still exist in some form or another. But the sheer mass of "Down Under" and "Who Can It Be Now" might have made it difficult for the audience to give the buy-in to "Be Good Johnny" or "Touching The Untouchables."
Feerick — Kind of a pity how their career track went down, though. Yes, they had tremendous chops and versatility, and could operate in any number of different modes. But even on Business As Usual you can hear them defining those modes and settling in to ring variations on them; they had already largely settled on a sound before making their first record — and while that made them distinctive right from the start, it didn't leave them much of anyplace to go. By the time Cargo was released, they had allowed themselves to be defined as a "quirky" band, and it became a straitjacket.
Cummings — Massive cultural impact … at least in terms of forcing a generation of American schoolkids to wonder what the hell's going on in Australia. Who didn't head off to the grocery store in search of vegemite?
Mike Heyliger — That stuff looks like green vomit. I wouldn't go near it with your taste buds.
Holmes — While I've never tasted ass before, I have tasted Vegemite. I imagine the two aren't far apart on the flavor spectrum.
Cummings — I was not a Men At Work fan, generally — I really, really hated "Who Can It Be Now," "Be Good Johnny" and pretty much everything else that came out of Colin Hay's mouth — but "Down Under" is undeniable. And just in the last couple of years, as I've encountered Hay on satellite radio singing a stripped-down version of "Overkill" and some of his newer, calmer stuff, I've recognized that what I was reacting against was more the honking, screeching quality of MaW's overall sound.
When I was a freshman in college, Bob Cashill and I were friends (I suppose) with a girl who, among her many bizarre qualities, loved to sing along to her favorite band … Men At Work … while rocking furiously back and forth in a rocking chair in her dorm room. But here's the kicker — she wouldn't sing along to the melodies, but would create her own harmony parts (even through the verses) and sing them at the top of her lungs. It was an impressive skill, I guess, but poorly and freakishly applied. And for 30 years I can think of little besides this girl whenever Men At Work come on the radio.
Feerick — Men At Work: your soundtrack for life along the autistic spectrum.
#10 Joe Jackson, "Steppin' Out" (1982)
Jackson's biggest US hit, peaking at #6.
[youtube id="MSkVS-M2gKI" width="600″ height="350″]
Michael Parr — If you were to call my phone, the ringtone alerting me to your call would be Joe Jackson's "Steppin' Out." Yes, dear readers, I love this song that much. It's about as perfect as piano-pop gets.
Feerick — Thanks for stopping by with that tidbit, Michael. Or should I say thanks for… stepping in.
I'll get my coat.
Cummings — In which Jackson tamps down the assholery, cranks up the sophistication, and turns in a stone-cold classic that proved (for many) that synths could serve as the basis for mature, classy, popular rock'n'roll. Frankly, though, I'd rather listen to "Breaking Us in Two" or "Real Men," because after a while the monotony of "Steppin' Out" got to me a little bit.
Holmes — Well, I'll probably be back on a Joe Jackson kick for the rest of the week thanks to this. This is pop perfection, and from a stunner of an album to boot.
Asregadoo — The gateway song for my love of Joe Jackson. I was certainly aware of "Is She Really Going Out With Him," but it didn't quite grab me as "Steppin' Out" did. Perhaps it was the way in which the organic sound of the piano complimented the driving beat of the rhythm synth track that just screamed (or maybe coolly announced) "sophistication."
1982 was a year when the ground was shifting for pop music, so while there was still plenty of the old standby sounds of the '70s (J. Geils Band, John Cougar, Steve Miller and Toto), the more interesting sounds coming from the likes of Joe Jackson, The Police, The Go-Go's, A Flock of Seagulls and those on this list signaled a real departure from what was the mainstream. Now, whether Joe Jackson was really New Wave is debatable, since his next album was movie soundtrack (Mike's Murder), followed by an exploration of the intersection of jazz and pop on Body and Soul. But to me in 1982, he was most certainly New Wave.
Dunphy — Joe Jackson is one of those artists that I actively envy the talent they possess. His latest The Duke didn't really do it for me, but when he's "on" he can get as close to perfect as any one performer can. Here's the kicker — as good as "Steppin' Out" is, and it is mighty good, he does a slowed down version I like even better. In concert he would pair it with "Shanghai Sky" and for ten or so minutes the listener could just sink into the thing.
I've never fully understood why he isn't ranked higher on the piano-rock scale. He's revered, but for some reason you're not likely to find Elton or Billy singing Joe's praises. I suppose it's the early punk influences…
Holmes — I always thought of Ben Folds as a direct musical descendant of Joe's. Sort of that same pop sensibility married with the snarling rock attitude. Although Joe has always been more creatively restless, as evidenced by the sheer variety of styles he's tackled.
Feerick — Which is why it's kind of funny that this should be such a big hit, and so many people's first exposure to Joe Jackson, since it's so atypical of his work. He'd never sounded so unironic, so sentimental — and his trademark sound is entirely absent. There's no guitar, no jazzy rhythm section, no snark. But Ted's nailed it: the contrast of sparkling grand piano with the intentionally-stiff tick-tock of the machine backing is terribly effective. As much as I may prefer more musically- and emotionally-complex work like "It's Different For Girls" or "You Can't Get What You Want (til You Know What You Want)," the simplicity and directness of this wins me over every time.
Lifton — I co-sponsor all the praise that has been given to this song ahead of me. This is as good as it gets.

When it is time for new tires, there are many factors to consider, such as the size, cost, the season in which the tire will be used, tread life, and fuel economy. Then, there is the speed rating.
Currently, there are more than a dozen speed ratings for tires offered in the United States. They range from "L," which dictates a maximum speed of 75 mph, to "(Y)," which is for speeds in excess of 186 mph. These speed ratings are valid only when the tire is undamaged, properly inflated, and not overloaded. Failure to conform to these requirements, or subjecting a tire to speeds above its rating, could result in a catastrophic failure.
When shopping for replacement tires, do not drop below the speed rating of the original equipment tires or choose a tire that does not, at the very least, match the top speed of the vehicle, even if you have no intention of driving that fast.
The following slides address some of the more common speed ratings, cover speed ratings after a tire repair, and give a quick guide on how to read the size and speed rating on the sidewall of every tire.
If your car came with a temporary spare, the chances are it carries the "M" speed rating, which means it is good for speeds of up to 81 mph. That, however, is academic.
Most vehicle manufacturers call for a top speed of 50 mph when the temporary spare is pressed into service, in part to minimize potentially excessive wear to drivetrain components. For the same reason, most automakers want you to limit the distance traveled on a temporary spare to 50 miles.

Snow tires, with their large, widely separated tread blocks, propensity to howl at highway speeds, and skittery handling on dry pavement, are gone. In their place, we now have winter tires, which are better in every way.
Winter tires have tread compounds that give much better grip on all cold surfaces, including dry pavement, fresh snow, packed snow, and ice. They also give a smoother, quieter ride than the snow tires of the past and, with a "Q" speed rating, they should be safe when driven at the legal limit on any road in the country.
You can read more about winter tires here.

The "S" rating is one of the original speed ratings, dating to the 1960s. Tires with this speed rating were used on a wide range of family vehicles at that time. Today, most of these vehicles have opted for a "T" rated tire.
Photo: Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. | Michelin North America, Inc.
A "T" rated tire is good for 118 mph. While you will search long and hard to find a current year vehicle with "S" rated tires, "T" rated tires are still found are numerous entry-level economy cars. Most of these models will never see the speedy side of 100 mph, so the limited speed rating causes no issues.
Photo: American Honda Motor Co., Inc. | Bridgestone Americas, Inc.
This is another of the three original speed ratings. At the time of its introduction, tires with this rating were found only on higher-performance vehicles.
Today, as performance levels for all vehicles have risen, "H" rated tires have become common on family sedans, compact SUVs, and minivans. While most of these vehicles are incapable of reaching 130 mph, the use of "H" rated tires does have other advantages.
Higher speed rated tires often enhance driving by delivering better steering responses and a connected-to-the-road feeling of solidity, according to Woody Rogers, Director of Tire Information at Tire Rack.
"V" rated tires were originally found on only high-performance cars. Times have changed. Today, "V" rated tires are standard equipment on a wide range of sports sedans and sports cars, including many models incapable of reaching 149 mph.
Fortunately, while high-performance tires were once noted for faster tread wear, a stiffer ride, and higher noise levels, this is no longer the case. Today's high-speed tires are smooth, quiet, and can be long-lasting.
Photo: General Motors | Michelin North America, Inc.
As vehicle performance improved, the limitations of the "V" rating became obvious. This prompted creation of the "Z" rating, which specified the tire could go faster than 149 mph without failing. Just how much faster was unspecified, which became an issue for drivers lead-footing it down the Autobahn.
Photo: Tesla Motors | Bridgestone Americas, Inc.
In theory, these are tires for high-performance sports cars capable of extremely high speeds. However, tires with this rating also show up on family sedans incapable of reaching 168 mph. As is the case with other speed ranges, automakers often select these tires for their ride, handling, and noise qualities, rather than their speed rating. Yet, in today's high-performance world, not even a "W" tire is enough for some vehicles.
This highest current speed rating comes in two versions. A "Y" rated tire is designed to hold together at 186 mph. However, with some 200-plus mile per hour vehicles available, not even this upper speed limit is sufficient. For these vehicles, a tire with a "(Y)" rating in parentheses means that it should be good for more than 186 mph.
Photo: Porsche Cars North America, Inc. | Michelin North America, Inc.
For the ultimate hypercars, only the best will do. Currently, the best is the "(Y)" rating (in parentheses). Tires with this rating are capable of traveling at speeds of more than 186 mph. Just how much more is not specified.
What if a speed-rated tire goes flat and needs repair? Woody Rogers of Tire Rack notes that some tire makers say no repair of high-speed tire with a rating above "H" is possible. Others say that a properly done repair, starting with "H" rated tires, lowers the speed rating by one letter. Others drop the recommended top speed rating of a repaired tire further. Check with your tiremaker to be sure.
Read Any Good Sidewalls Lately?
Those letters and numbers specifying tire size definitely mean something.
Take a P205/60R16 92H tire as an example. The "P" means this is a passenger car tire, as opposed to a "LT," or light truck tire. The first number, 205, is the measurement of the tire's cross-section, in millimeters. The 60 means that the sidewall height is 60 percent of the tire's width. The 16 is the diameter, in inches, of the wheel on which the tire is mounted. The R means it is a radial tire. As for the 92, it refers to the tire's load index – 1,389 pounds in this case.
That final letter, an "H," that specifies its top speed: 130 mph. When dealing with the highest-speed rated "W" or "Y" tires, there will also be a "Z," meaning the tire is rated for speeds above 149 mph, inserted before the R in the tire's label. An example: 205/45ZR17 88W.

Øyafestivalen 2016 – Saturday with Grace Jones, Midnight Choir, Elephant9 with Terje Rypdal, Neurosis and more
Posted on August 14, 2016 by Per Ole Hagen
Saturday at the Øyafestivalen is a long concert day with music from one o'clock until eleven at night. Luckily the weather was much better than the day before. Except for some slight rain early in the day, the rest of the day was sunny. Saturday was also a day for some really good music, starting with Midnight Choir and ending with Grace Jones. I missed Friday at the festival, but Saturday compensated well for this.
Traditionally, the first band at the Øyafestivalen Saturday is a Norwegian artist or band with a wide appeal. This means people come early, and the first artist is usually also kid friendly. This year Midnight Choir opened, and even if they are not a band for kids, the band some kind of Norwegian legends. Their career spans from 1992 to 2004, but they have had a few concerts since then. This year they have played a few concerts, and the Øya concert showed us what en excellent band Midnight Choir was, and still is. Beautiful stretched out songs written by guitarist Al DeLoner with delicate instrumental arrangements and sung by one of Norway's best singers, Paal Flaata.
My next band is also Norwegian. Elephant9 is a a jazz rock experimental trio, consisting of Ståle Storløkken on keyboards, Nicolai Eilertsen on bass and Torstein Lofthus on drums, all of them instrumentalists of high international standard. Terje Rypdal is the veteran jazz guitarist who has influenced generations of guitarists during his career that started in the early 60's with the Norwegian pop band the Vanguards. In the 70's he released several critically acclaimed albums on the ECM label, and he has also composed symphonies and other orchestral works. Together Elephant9 and Rypdal served us a potent concert with intricate rhythms and complicated but at the same time catchy themes and riffs. Another high point this day.
I saw yet another Norwegian band after Elephant9, Frøkedal og Familien. They are Anne Lise Frøkedal with a band consisting of Frøkedal on guitar plus violin, keyboard, drums and this time also sister Linn Frøkedal on guitar. Their music is melodic indie pop, and the band is a good representative of this style. Frøkedal has been around for many years in bands like Harry's Gym and I Was a King, but with this band she has found her own voice and has got the recognition she deserves.
Neurosis was next on my agenda. They are metal veterans, formed in 1985 in Oakland, California. They started out as a hardcore punk band, but has transformed to a post metal band with influences from doom and industrial. Except for their keyboard player, all the original members are still in the band. At Øya they played a hard set with songs that evolves slowly to a climax.
From Neurosis I went to see Sondre Justad. The contrast was big, from the dark tent with a mix of metal heads and somewhat older fans to the big stage with the front rows consisting of almost one hundred percent young girls waiting to see their hero. Sounder Justad is a new artist who has made some really catchy and positive songs that have been rotated heavily on Norwegian radio. His first single release came in 2014, and for his debut album the year after he got three Norwegian Grammy nominations. I have never seen him live before, but he is a fresh newcomer, enjoying himself, and with an infectious smile that pleased the crowd.
I have seen Savages once before at the Pstereo festival three years ago. I really liked their performance then, and looked forward to seeing them again. At Øya they seemed more controlled, more professional, and not as exciting as in 2013. They had some sound problems, but they are definitely a band to look out for. I just wish they could be more spontaneous on stage.
Foals were new to me, although they have been around since 2005. That are a British indie rock band with so far four albums. Live they are very good, with fresh and catchy songs, and a positive and extrovert stage show. Sometimes that is more than enough, and with Foals it worked well.
Before Grace Jones I saw Death By Unga Bunga. They are a Norwegian retro punk pop band with a stage show in true punk fashion. Sebastian Ulstad Olsen is their front man, and he combines a 60's look with punk behavior, which makes the band a lot of fun to watch. As usual he took a walkabout in the audience while singing. The band started in 2007 and they are tight and professional, and seem to have a lot of fun together.
The definite headliner at Øya, and the artist who got to close the festival, was Grace Jones. You can read more about her and see more photos in a separate post.
The Øyafestivalen 2016 has been a good festival. What they always do, is to combine "safe" artists with newer ones, surprises, trendy and also niche artists alongside artists with a wide appeal. This year the weather wasn't the best, with heavy rain the day before, and also on Friday, which made the ground quite muddy. But the festival was almost sold out long before the event, so luckily this didn't affect the attendance.
I saw some really good concerts these days, and had a good time The festival is also very well organized, and everyone is happy and in good spirits. The Øyafestivalen has established itself as Norway's most important rock festival, and as long as they continue their mix of styles as well as they do, they will keep this position. This year they lacked one or two really big names, but it didn't bother me at all.

Today's show features SJ Sindu, whose book Marriage of A Thousand Lies has been called an "important" book. I get that. It's the story of a queer person of colour in America. In the words of Robert Olen Butler, it's "a remarkable novel rich with interlocking issues both timeless and timely..more than impressive; it's important." I highly recommend you check it out, and in the meantime, check out today's show. Enjoy!


Abstract: : Face Recognition (FR) in surveillance scenarios has recently attracted the attention of researchers over the last few years. The bottleneck as a large gap in both resolution and contrast between the training (high-resolution gallery) and testing (degraded, low quality probes) sets, must be overcome using efficient statistical learning methods. Performances of the recent state-of-the-art algorithms designed for FR are unsatisfactory when surveillance conditions severely degrade the test probes.
The talk will be a walkthrough from two of our proposed shallow learning techniques to a recently proposed deep learning technique. Firstly, we proposed a Bag-of-Words (BOW) based approach for face recognition combined with Domain Adaptation (DA), to overcome this challenging task of FR in degraded conditions. Transformation from source to target is estimated using eigen-analysis of the BOW-based features. Secondly, we present a novel technique to find the optimal feature-kernel combination by SML_MFKC (Soft-margin Learning for Multi-Feature-Kernel Combination) to solve the problem of FR in surveillance, followed by an Eigen Domain Transformation (EDT) to bridge the gap between the distributions of the gallery and the probe samples.
Finally, in the deep learning paradigm, we designed a novel transfer-CNN architecture of deep learning refurbished for domain adaptation (DA), to overcome the difference in feature distributions between the gallery and probe samples. A novel 2-stage algorithm for Mutually Exclusive Training (2-MET) based on stochastic gradient descent, has also been proposed for training the network. Rigorous experimentation has been performed on three real-world surveillance face datasets: FR_SURV_VID, SCFace and ChokePoint, as well as one real-world face dataset with non-uniform motion blur and three synthetically degraded large benchmark face datasets. Results have been shown using Rank-1 Recognition rates, ROC and CMC measures. Experiments also include performance analysis under unbiased training with two large-scale chimeric face datasets.
