Welcome Calisa Rhose!
February 26, 2013 Favorite Authors, Lyrical PressCalisa Rhose, Contemporary Romance, Risk FactorsD.B. Sieders
I am tickled pink to welcome the lovely and talented Calisa Rhose for my first blog interview evah!
And I'm thrilled to be your first to interview on your lovely blog, DB! Thank you for having me today for the official kickoff party tour for Risk Factors, which released March 4th!
Calisa is not only a sister author with Lyrical Press, she is now a content and acquiring editor for Lyrical Press. Today, she'll be telling us about her upcoming release, Risk Factors, a contemporary romance that features veterinarian Vivian Dane, a heroine who has something to prove, and Connor McKay, an EMT and dedicated father who is afraid to risk his heart and his daughter for the sake of attraction.
Calisa, you have a penchant for wounded heroes, like Sam Callahan from Home (Wild Rose Press Publishing) and Connor in Risk Factors. Can you tell us a bit about Connor's history and why he's afraid to fall for Vivian?
Oh, Connor. As a small child he was abandoned by his biological mother and later on his young wife walked out on him a their infant daughter Janna. Other than his adopted mother and father, everyone he'd known growing up left him, so naturally he's a little relationship shy. Vivian is not an easy woman to ignore, however. LOL
Thanks goodness for strong heroines! Vivian must not only win over Connor, but she has to prove worthy of the most important lady in his life, his daughter Janna. Applause for taking on the issue of single parenthood in romantic fiction! How do you balance Connor's role as father with his role as romantic hero?
Oy- he was not happy with me. He had to make some difficult decisions or risk losing both women. For instance, when Janna approves his date with the doctor, he has to work not to mess it up or risk hurting his daughter. Can he? I'll let you read the book to find out how he manages.
Looking forward to reading all about their journey. Your love of horses and Oklahoma roots no doubt influenced character development for Vivian. Can you tell us what inspired EMT and paramedic Connor?
My roots definitely helped shape Viv. As for Connor, First Responders are H.O.T. That was pretty much it for me. I chose his particular line off rescue because originally there was going to be a forest fire and I needed a hero who could get in and out of a fire zone to save people and a helicopter allowed for that. The fire didn't happen in the end, but his career stayed.
I'm glad the career choice stuck. There is something so very appealing about men who risk their lives in order to save others. Between writing, being an editor, and a wife/mother/grandmother, you wear a lot of hats! How do you find balance?
Hahaha Balance? You missed care-giver for my elderly father in-law. J My hubby spends a lot of time cooking. Bless his heart! I'm lucky he loves to cook because we'd both starve if he didn't. I don't think about food much when I'm working. Being a mother is the easy part as all three of our daughters are out on their own with their families. We are raising the oldest granddaughter right now, though. She's a fun almost-8-year-old who refers to my writing as "sitting on the couch, doing nothing" (don't I wish!) and she aspires to be just like me! LOL
Oh goodness, my almost-8-year-old has accused me of the same thing! Congratulations on becoming a Lyrical Press editor. Can you tell us what you're looking for in submissions and authors?
You sneaky girl! LOL Thank you, Dana. As is with most editors, I want a love story I can get lost in, craft that shows the author knows their business with tight writing and unique plots. Specifically I like to see contemporary, suspense or paranormal stories with heart. I'm not into blood and gore or erotic or demonic, so sweet to steamy, sensual stories can find a home with me. What do I look for in authors? Someone who isn't afraid to write outside the box, who is willing to work with their editor and build a solid relationship and will delve into the process of editing fearlessly.
Thank you so much for the wonderful interview. To learn more about Calisa, please visit her website. Risk Factors will be available March 4, 2013, from Lyrical Press, Amazon, and Barnes&Noble.
Love, like life, is not without risk.
Veterinarian Vivian Dane has purchased her uncle's practice in the tiny town of Wales, Missouri, where most residents still doubt her ability to treat their pets. But Viv is used to being considered less-worthy than her predecessors. After all, her parents are world-renowned wildlife vets, and most everyone is unimpressed she's chosen to not follow directly in their footsteps. Now Connor, a patient's owner, is hot for Viv, but clearly doesn't think she's dating material because he has a daughter…who he believes no woman is good enough for. Being a perfect dad is EMT paramedic Connor's life focus. He can't seem to stay away from sexy Doctor Viv, but attraction is as far as he'll ever let it go. His mother abandoned him, leaving him to be raised in the foster system, and then his wife abandoned both him and their daughter. He absolutely will not risk bringing another woman into his little girl's life and having her feel the hurt of being left…again. Forfeiting is easier than attempting and failing. So why does Viv feel compelled to prove she's a sure bet for Connor and his daughter? Can Connor trust Viv–and himself–enough to play the possibilities?
Viv's smile and throaty laughter burrowed deeper by the second, mutating into hot want that seemed to draw him to her at every opportunity. But her invitation shook him back to level ground. Dinner. With her. Vivian Dane, the woman who seemed to freely access his dreams lately, was asking him out.
Her voice fell to a low smoky grade that slid like satin over him, tightening around his chest, making it hard to breathe.
He wanted to kiss her.
There was something about her in the lab coat he couldn't put his finger on. She appeared
so fragile and delicate in pink that matched her lips…china doll perfect. Kissable.
He opened his mouth to refuse. He couldn't afford to get close to anyone, wouldn't risk Janna. He knew his daughter already liked the vet, had said so. If he got involved and it all nosedived south, he couldn't stand to have Janna hurt. Even if she didn't know it, Viv was their veterinarian now and he'd have to see her, Jelly Bean would notice the tension–
"Connor?"
"I'd like that."
I've enjoyed this so much, DB! I'd like to invite everyone to join my party to a few blogs and help me celebrate Risk Factors' release. Here's the link to follow my tour and the more you comment, the better chance you'll have to win either a GC or a rose rock from me and a PDF copy of RF and maybe even some swag. I'll select a winner at the end of the tour, so be sure to leave an email address for me to contact you!

Solo viola or solo cello
Lament is a part of my 54 minute piece, Lament Amid Silence, which consists of Lament for solo viola, Ghosts for six violas, Lament with Ghosts for solo viola with viola consort, and two meditations for piano solo. Each section of this piece may be programmed individually, or in combination with any of the others.
Lament exists in the space "in between" sound and silence: anguished screams and quiet songs emerge from vast stretches of silence and return again to silence. The dramatic contrast between sound and silence modifies both elements: the sound contains within itself a potential of peace; while the silence reveals its all-encompassing nature by being able to accommodate and contain the anguish. The entire piece could be described takes place in a kind of bardo realm of "in between-ness," as described in the Tibetan Book of the Dead.
Sound that emerges from it reveals the depth of anguish that can be encompassed within the encompassing it in peace, even at its harshest, modulating the pain with the largest context possible in music. Emotionally, the vast spaciousness surrounding the anguish modifies the pain, leaving open the possibility of consolation. As the continuity of the piece encompasses both the peaceful The void surrounds As the sound gives a "local habitation and a name" to the boundless potential of emptiness.
Vast stretches of silence encompass the anguish: the work begins with a scream that emerges from silence, and at the end the work returns to silence as melodic fragments become shorter and only quiet, pizzicati punctuate the quiet.

It's only been 2010 for a matter of days and Selfridges have already declared the 90s officially vintage.
To me, this is great news, because the early 90s played host to one of fashions gurus – the Fresh Prince! You know it's true … Will Smith was busting some mad styles in that series and it was all 90's.
Some people have been on the 90's tip earlier than the Selfridges crew (Cassette Player, Stussy, Supreme and most kids from Shoreditch), with their big bold colours, classic fashion logo tees oversized polos, denim shirts and of course bent up panel hats. But now, apparently, it can officially be classed as vintage. I might have to bust out my style library again soon … aka The Fresh Prince DVDs.
Anyway, the event launches on Monday with a 90s concept store at Selfridges, London. The store is gonna host the first retail collaboration with Rellik, some garms from Beyond Retro, IDEA books and music from the original 90's Dalston club night; Work It.
Pop down and check it out at some point in the next few weeks 'cos it could be quite rad.
Over 25 years old is the generally accepted definition of vintage clothing so Selfridges are about 10 years ahead of themselves! Be interesting to see tho'….

Improving health systems performance in low- and middle-income countries: a system dynamics model of the pay-for-performance initiative in Afghanistan
O Alonge;S Lin;T Igusa;D Peters;
1Department of International Health, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, 615 N Wolfe Street, E8622, Baltimore, MD 21205, USA and2Department of Civil Engineering, Johns Hopkins University, 3400 N Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21218, USA
System dynamics methods were used to explore effective implementation pathways for improving health systems performance through pay-for-performance (P4P) schemes. A causal loop diagram was developed to delineate primary causal relationships for service delivery within primary health facilities. A quantitative stock-and-flow model was developed next. The stock-and-flow model was then used to simulate the impact of various P4P implementation scenarios on quality and volume of services. Data from the Afghanistan national facility survey in 2012 was used to calibrate the model. The models show that P4P bonuses could increase health workers' motivation leading to higher levels of quality and volume of services. Gaming could reduce or even reverse this desired effect, leading to levels of quality and volume of services that are below baseline levels. Implementation issues, such as delays in the disbursement of P4P bonuses and low levels of P4P bonuses, also reduce the desired effect of P4P on quality and volume, but they do not cause the outputs to fall below baseline levels. Optimal effect of P4P on quality and volume of services is obtained when P4P bonuses are distributed per the health workers' contributions to the services that triggered the payments. Other distribution algorithms such as equal allocation or allocations proportionate to salaries resulted in quality and volume levels that were substantially lower, sometimes below baseline. The system dynamics models served to inform, with quantitative results, the theory of change underlying P4P intervention. Specific implementation strategies, such as prompt disbursement of adequate levels of performance bonus distributed per health workers' contribution to service, increase the likelihood of P4P success. Poorly designed P4P schemes, such as those without an optimal algorithm for distributing performance bonuses and adequate safeguards for gaming, can have a negative overall impact on health service delivery systems.

NHL lockout: Negotiations start again Wednesday
Share All sharing options for: NHL lockout: Negotiations start again Wednesday
The NHL and the Players Association will resume labor negotiations Wednesday, according to Josh Yohe of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Members from both sides spoke on Monday and Tuesday, Yohe reported. No negotiations took place Tuesday, however.
Former Penguins forward Ryan Malone commented on the lockout, saying "the whole thing is crazy":
"If we lose another entire season," said Tampa Bay left wing Ryan Malone, "then shame on all of us."
"This whole thing is crazy," said Malone, who has already missed one season because of a labor dispute. "You just kind of keep waiting for good news."
A new proposal might not be pitched Wednesday, Yohe reported, despite internal meetings the last two days. Monday's meeting involved "economic issues and contracting."
Penguins star Sidney Crosby has been one of the most vocal players opposed to the lockout. He said last week he didn't want a break in the talks, saying, "I don't see how that's going to help anything."
The current lockout started Sept. 15, which was less than a month before the scheduled start of the season. It is the NHL's third lockout since 1994.
Many of the NHL's biggest stars have signed contracts with teams overseas to keep working through the lockout.

Q: Markdown of numbered list with some hyphens doesn't work as expected in preview I was editing How exactly does __attribute__((constructor)) work? so the unordered list in the question was numbered to better correspond with the answer. I changed the first list item from a '-' to '1.' and in the preview block below, the rest of the list items changed to numbered items. However, when I saved my changes, only the first item was in a numbered list.

Boat captain drowns at Norman Island on Sunday
in All News / By: on June 24, 2019 at 7:34 AM /
Photo Credit: VISAR
A boat captain of a well-known charter company has reportedly drowned while on duty at Norman Island.
BVI News understands that the incident occurred sometime between 12:30 pm to 1 pm on Sunday, June 23.
"He was at work and sadly his guests had to witness that," Vice President of Virgin Islands Search and Rescue (VISAR) Phil Aspinall told BVI News.
Aspinal said when members of VISAR responded at the scene where the victim's unresponsive body was recovered, they performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation without success.
The body was subsequently brought to Tortola and transported to the Dr D Orlando Smith hospital in Road Town.
The name of the victim has not yet been made available.
Its Peebles Hospital. Get it right.
Hmmm says:
Truth: you could have used that data to send love and condolences to the family. The fact you only focus on a building says that you have the ratchet mindset. You're stuck in life.
Hmmm, uou used your energy to state negative words about the writer. What is the difference between you?
Clueso says:
Orlando Hospital? Is that affiliated with Orlando Air (BVI Airline)? What is going with the audit of our investment in dat airline? We need answers and the whistleblower law we were promised.
Navigator says:
Wait…are you for real. Someone die and you are concern over a name of a BUILDING? If it was YOUR FAMILY MEMBER THAT DIE and read your mess…May God be with you…you corpse
OZYMANDIAS says:

Shame on you says:
You are a disgusting human being.

Voter says:

Why are you apologizing for BVIslanders!!Just apologize for the idiot that posted the statement!! I will not associate that to any self respecting a B V Islander..
First condolence to the family and the guest and his friends now this a** please speak for your self not for we you have no love in your heart none what so ever
@one eye fowl… it's speak for US not WE …US.. you went scool here I'm guessing?

When a passenger drops anything overboard, mark the position with bearings and the GPS and call a local diver for assistance. These sad tragedies should be avoided. So sad.
@Truth says:
No; u dead wrong; it is D. Olando Smith Hospital and Medical Centre. U get it right.
Mr. Hodge says:
My condolences thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the captain and the clients who had to witness the tragedy
Mr Shovels says:
A man died and these toxic-minded people can only focus on the name a building smh…
Respect The Ancestors says:
It Is Peebles Hospital, Named in honor of Mr. Van Peebles.
Dr. Smith been a serving Doctor and dedicated to the BVI all is life but if they want to honor Dr. Smith by all means go ahead but at least respect Mr. Van Peebles who also devoted to the Hospital. It was first named Cottage Hospital and later renamed Peebles Hospital.
Who is right or wrong... says:
As far as I know, a floor or unit of the hospital was to be named in honor of Dr. Smith and the Hospital would retain the name 'Peebles Hospital'.
People die everyday so what if the bloggers want to debate the name of the hospital.
EHHY! I like you! People die everyday B. He tuff right?
YOU NO HEARTED WIOMABN
Umm Molly when locals die your mostly wealthy europeans living here normally burp continue to drink their coffee or early morning rum. They don't give two hells and a paedophile about it.
well well says:
you don't make sense.
My apologies for almost all of the above and condolences to the family and friends of the gentleman who passed away.
Exp says:
VISAR is the most important non-gov organisation in the BVI. Thanks for helped him to have a dignity to go to the hospital.
LOL-WOW says:
You all take an article about someone's tragic death and turn it into a debate about whether or not the Hospital should be named after Dr. Smith…..???? wow.
@LOL-WOW says:
Exactly! It's incredible how shallow minded people can be. Everything is political in this place. The first blogger about the name of the hospital and all who responded to the clown might have thought it more considerate to use another forum for such a debate.
Do they have any idea what our family is going through right now? To get a call with news like this? very heartless to say the least.
Family stay strong, ignore the negatives and think about the positives during this challenging and grieving time
These comments show why the BVI is failing so badly at literally everything but tourism. Selfish, greedy, hateful and narrow-minded comments.
FIGHTING ON THE INTERNET IS LIKE RUNNING IN THE SPECIAL OLYMPICS: YOU MIGHT WIN BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU ARE STILL RETARDED!!!!!
STRUPES ARGUING OVER THE NAME ON A BUILDING
SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR AN INNOCENT DEATH
School children say one of the tourist drop something in the water…
@CW says:
I get your point on the online fighting but tht is Not a good comparison at all! Just Horrible and heartless. A Winner is a Winner!
Welcome to Bvi
Incredible ( stupidines)
true says:
any news on who the captain was?
Caryn Bickerdike Bettes says:
I'd really like to know who it was. Praying it wasn't the captain we had a few weeks ago. Prayers to his family.

Silviculture operations cover the management of the plantatings from the initial planning through to harvesting and replanting of the forest. The Trees4Trees™ team work with local tree growers to apply the silviculture principles most appropriate to the site and the grower's goals.
To maximize returns to growers by reducing the rotation period and improving the grade of timber, growers are training on silviculture techniques to produce 'target trees' i.e. a tree which meets the requirement for sale into a specific market.
Tree planting and Establishment – techniques are outlined to maximize planting survival and encourage successful occupation of the planting site through good weed control.
Form pruning - is used to maintain a single leader or apical dominance of the tree.
Tree selection - trees are selected based on criteria including species, form, dominance spacing and stocking. Trees of the desired characteristics are retained while others are removed through thinning operations.
Thinning - trees are removed to produce a stand of desirable trees which will grow at optimum rates to produce target trees.
Lift pruning - is undertaken to remove tree branches from the trunk of the tree to a specific height. Lift pruning is used in tree species which do not shed their branches to increase the volume of clear grade timber which is free of defects and knots.

BOSTON and MEDFORD/SOMERVILLE, Mass. (May 1, 2018)—The School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University is celebrating graduating art students in its degree programs with three spring exhibitions across two Tufts campuses in greater Boston.
Graduating master's degree candidates will present their work at the Master's Thesis Exhibition from May 14-20. This year's show, titled "(T)HERE," moves from Boston to Tufts' Medford/Somerville campus, to join the campus's commencement week celebrations. Spread across three buildings – the Aidekman Arts Center, Eaton Hall and Lane Hall – the show represents two years of students' close work with SMFA at Tufts' faculty to develop their vision and shape the future of their careers as working artists. The variety of works include large-scale sculpture and installations, performances, and even a temporary tattoo parlor. The opening reception celebrating the master's thesis candidates and their work will be held at the Aidekman Arts Center on Friday, May 18, from 7:30 – 10 p.m.
The Year End Show, running May 1 through May 21, is an exhibition spanning multiple spaces at the SMFA at Tufts Fenway campus. This show highlights the works of graduating students and other exceptional pieces from the year. The Grossman Gallery, Anderson Auditorium and Weems Atrium will display the works of 52 students in a variety of media, including sculpture, painting, drawing and video installation. In order for work to qualify for the show, the piece must be created by a member of the Class of 2018 or have won an award during the 2017-18 academic year.
The SMFA at Tufts' Senior Thesis Exhibition features art created by senior Bachelor of Fine Arts students participating in the SMFA at Tufts thesis program. From May 19-23, the seniors' thesis work will take over the Third Floor Studios at the SMFA at Tufts' Fenway campus. The paintings, sculptures and installations of 20 graduating students are critiqued by a panel of SMFA at Tufts faculty, including their thesis advisors. The Senior Thesis Exhibition will hold its opening reception on Saturday, May 19, from 5 – 8 p.m., which will include live performances.
All SMFA at Tufts spring shows are free and open to the public.
The SMFA at Tufts will hold its commencement ceremony for the Class of 2018 at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston on Sunday, May 20, at 6 p.m. The celebration will include speeches from students and administrators.
Graduates of the SMFA at Tufts will also participate in the university-wide commencement festivities on Tufts University's Medford/Somerville campus on Sunday, May 20, at 9 a.m., including an address by Ellen Kullman, former CEO of DuPont and a Tufts alumna.

Q: In VS2010, how to get VB.NET enum values to autocomplete without typing the enum type first? In VS2008, you could write, for instance,
dim enumValue as MyEnum
enumValue =

.. and then as soon as you typed the =, you'd get a list of possible values of MyEnum.
With VS2010, you have to type
dim enumValue as MyEnum
enumValue = MyEnum.

... before getting the list on typing the final .
This makes for a lot more typing and seems to be a retrograde step ... is there an option I'm missing? (I have 'Auto List members checked in the Text Editor options under 'Basic').

A: Yes, you're not the first to be annoyed by this.  This looks to be likely to get fixed in SP1 according to this feedback item.


Jenni Toivoniemi is an award-winning writer-director based in Helsinki. She is one of the four founders of the film production company Tuffi Films Lts., member of the Finnish Film Directors Association, and Vice President of the Finnish Playwrights and Screenwriters Guild.
After attending Screenwriting and film production courses in Lapland, Film Studies in Ireland, Common literature and Theater Studies in Helsinki, Jenni attended a one-year scriptwriting course organised by the National Broadcasting Company YLE. Since 2009, Jenni is enrolled in a MA programme in Film- and TV scriptwriting and directing in Helsinki.
Her latest short film THE COMMITTEE premiered at this year's Locarno Film Festival. It is both a hilarious and thoughtful satire (or is it just very true-to-life?) about three delegates from Sweden, Norway, and Finland, who are gathered in Lapland to decide which piece of art should be placed at the border of their countries.
Jenni's short film THE DATE, a marvellous comedy about 16-year old Tino who has to host a date for Diablo, the family's stud cat, won several awards including International Short Film Jury Award in Sundance Film Festival in 2013 and a Special Mention at the Berlinale Generation. The same year, Jenni was named Screenwriter of the Year by the Finnish Screenwriters Guild.
In 2014, KORSO, a feature film she has co-written with Kirsikka Saari (directed by Akseli Tuomivaara) premiered in Finnland.
Jenni is currently writing her first feature SOCIAL GAME (as a writer-director) which received a MEDIA Slate funding for development. It's a bittersweet ensemble comedy about a group of 30-something friends who gather in a summer villa to celebrate an unwanted surprise birthday party. Trapped in nostalgia, things take a more paranoid turn rather quickly.
Jenni strives for the combination of strong characters (often on the edge), painfully raw humor with a heart and an element of danger. But the most important aspect for her is the urgency: the feeling that THIS had to be expressed.
THE DATE will participate in this year's ZFF MASTER CLASS screenings.


Many times you don't want to trouble friends for help with menial tasks like moving furniture. But sometimes you need to step out and ask. Your friends are always happy to help, and after the heavy lifting is done you see how easy it can be. R likes to move furniture. It's okay with moving a small table across the room, but when you need to bring a large sofa up three flights of stairs, it's time to ask for help. Your best friend is C.
The basic idea behind speeding up R with a C script is to write a C script, compile it, load it into the environment (ask it over to the house, so to speak) and call it from R with a built-in R function. There are some choices here but for our test case, we're going to use the .C() function.
A couple ground rules first. The C function must be of type void (does not return nothing) and needs to accept pointer arguments. You define the argument in R as an object, and it gets passed as a pointer to the C function. R objects are basically pointers anyway so this is not terribly difficult. Let's illustrate before this becomes a lecture on pointers and objects.
Here is the code for an R function that uses an R loop to print out permutations of a double loop. It's the guts of a brute force search but only returns a string saying that it was able to locate and print each permutation. You can either copy and paste it into R or save it and source() it.
We are stepping from 10 to 50 in increments of 1 (40 events) and also from 80 to 240 in steps of 4 (40 events again). The permutation total is those two multiplied, which comes to 1600. The size of a large sofa basically. R can do it, but it takes some time because of the explicit looping. Here is the tail of the output along with performance statistics. The system.time() function is used to calculate performance.
Notice the pointer arguments. Also, notice we include R.h header file. Save this script as twoloop.c and then from command line, use the following instruction to compile it.
This creates a new file called twoloop.so that will be loaded into R with the following function inside of an R session.
Great, now we use the .C() function to call the function. But first we need to create some R objects. There are six variables so here is what we'll do.
Now we simply pass those objects in as integers. Remember, that is what the C function is expecting so let's not mess around. It is here to help us after all.
Here is the tail of the C function's output along with its performance.
Nice. Time to crack a beer on the new sofa. With our best friend C.

Atoms for Peace album in the works?
In the latest issue of Rolling Stone, Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea dropped some interesting news regarding Atoms for Peace, the side project that he, Thom Yorke, Nigel Godrich, Joey Waronker, and Mauro Refosco all were a part of last year.
… and playing on a forthcoming studio album.
We'll keep you updated on any further news regarding this forthcoming album. In the meantime, you can read the full Rolling Stone transcript here.
Earlier last month, Radiohead's Colin Greenwood, the HotRats (aka Nigel Godrich with Gaz Coombes and Danny Goffey of Supergrass), Soap&Skin, and Air's Nicolas Godin, teamed up for a one-off tribute to the Velvet Underground in Paris, aptly titled Velvet Underground Revisited. The set was comprised almost entirely of covers off VU's Andy Warhol-produced 1967 record with Nico, including a faithful take on "Femme Fatale" that featured a guest lead vocal by Leslie Feist. You can take a break from spinning her new single and hear a decent glimpse of the performance above.
Photo above from Cité de la Musique's flickr stream.
Red Hot Chili Peppers' bassist Flea thinks Thom Yorke is a swell guy and a huge inspiration to him. Flea, along with with drummer Joey Waronker, Mauro Refosco, and producer Nigel Godrich, were all part of Thom's supergroup, Atoms for Peace, which performed shows last year.
"It influenced me being around Thom," Flea explained. "He's an unbelievably great musician and a beautiful man. He's so pure as an artist. It's less that I would try to copy him and more that just being around someone who channels really powerful energy is beneficial.
Last night Thom Yorke surprisingly showed up at Low End Theory in Los Angeles where he DJ'd alongside Flying Lotus and Gaslamp Killer. His DJ set included Burial, Modeselektor, Kraftwerk, Squarepusher, Madvillain, Major Lazer, among other things and laster about an hour and 20 minutes. Nigel Godrich was also there.
This isn't the first time Thom has done a surprise DJ set in LA. You may remember that in 2009 he showed up and did a DJ set at the Roosevelt.
Were you there? Let us know in the comments!
UPDATE: More from the LA Times after the jump.
Radiohead's long-time producer and "sixth man," Nigel Godrich, is putting together the soundtrack for the upcoming Scott Pilgrim vs. The World movie. Along with curating the music, he producing and scoring it. Godrich has recruited an impressive group to record music for the movie, including Beck, Metric, Broken Social Scene, Cornelius, Dan "The Automator" Nakamura, among others.
Head on over to The Playlist for more information.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World opens in theaters on August 13, 2010 in the US.


Gregg County Refinery wishes to complete a relocation to Rusk County. This would bring jobs and workers to the area. Before the company would be able to move it required approval from the Rusk County Commissioners Court. The approval for company relocation has been given as of this week. It means the company can begin work at the 165-acre facility. Once things are set at the facility, the new location will provide 80 to 100 jobs for employees.
Employee relocation was offered to the staff members currently working at the old facility. For those who have taken the employee relocation package it will mean moving their home and families to the new county. The company will need local workers to fill the positions of anyone unwilling to relocate. The company has also decided to look at the local level for potential workers to fill positions they have open for the expansion created by the move.
Once the business relocation is complete, the company will have more space for its refinery. The new site is in Longview. This was actually a refinery for several years before it was closed in 1992. Expansion is necessary for the company and therefore it intends to move the headquarters and workers to Longview. The entire operation will be consolidated into one area rather than having the refinery in one place and the office in another. This streamlining approach is designed to help the company's bottom line.

Today In Music History – August 23rd.
Marty Miller
Every day on Radio Nova, just before 11am, we play a couple of songs key to "today in music history" Have a listen! But for now – here's some light reading and watching. August 23rd in Music History looks like this.
1965, Security guards at a Manchester TV studio hosed down 200 Rolling Stones fans after they broke down barriers while waiting for the band to arrive for a performance.
1966, On their final tour of America, The Beatles performed at Shea Stadium in New York City, New York. Unlike the previous year's performance, which had sold out, there were 11,000 empty seats in the 55,600 seat stadium. The Beatles earn more than the previous year, receiving $189,000 for their performance.
1967, during a wild party celebrating his birthday, Keith Moon drove a car into a hotel swimming pool. Keith couldn't drive. Might explain something. And the fact he was VERY out of it!
1969, Johnny Cash started a four-week run at No.1 on the US album chart with 'Johnny Cash At San Quentin'.
1970, Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground performed together for the last time at the New York Club 'Max's Kansas City'. Reed worked as a typist for his father for the next two years, at $40 per week.
1986, Sigue Sigue Sputnik came up with an idea to sell advertising space between the tracks on their upcominig record. It didn't work and didn't sell anything!
August 23rd birthdays include Rick Springfield, Keith Moon of The Who, Happy Monday head Shaun Ryder, Edwyn Collins, and Julian Casablancas, of The Strokes.

This Wayne Township school made big gains on ISTEP, and its principal said teachers sticking around was key.
By Shaina Cavazos
Students at Robey Elementary School in Wayne Township participate in an English lesson.

The Ready or Not Newsletter: Join the conversation about college preparation and completion.
As the kindergartners at Robey Elementary School shuffled down the hallway in a single-file line, the wings on their festive construction paper bat headbands flapped softly.
When Principal Ben Markley walked by, the kindergartners jostled to greet him, one after another giving a tiny wave by bending their index fingers up and down. Bat wings flapped furiously.
"Are we working hard today?" Markley asked as he approached, returning what he dubbed the "kindergarten wave" by waggling his own index finger.
"Yes!" the kids chorused back excitedly.
Markley continued down the hallway, explaining that he created the wave to give some of the school's youngest students a special way to connect with him — a better option than running up and gluing themselves to his legs, he said.
He is now in his fifth year at Robey, a school with more than 750 students located in the northwest corner of Wayne Township. In fact, Markley has spent his entire career as an educator in Wayne Township. And he's not alone: Of the 20 Robey teachers who taught grades that took ISTEP last year, 19 stayed on from the year before.
Markley says that retaining teachers and staff has afforded students immense benefits — not the least of which that the school made some of the largest gains of any township school on last year's ISTEP test.
Chalkbeat sat down with Markley recently to talk about the school's progress. Below are excerpts from the conversation, edited for clarity and brevity.
Your passing rate for English and math went up about 8 percentage points from last year, and your letter grade went up from a B to an A. What was your reaction when you learned that?
Two years ago we were pretty disappointed with some of our scores. We saw some areas in math that we thought we should be addressing a little differently — the way our teachers were thinking about curriculum and really the depth and the rigor that we were presenting to our students.
There was this pretty big gap between what we were asking our kids to do and what was on the state assessment. We talked a lot about that last year. We spent a lot of our professional development time thinking about what are the deeper thinking skills that students need, especially in math. We sometimes called it how do we get kids to grapple with problems. How do we get them to show perseverance and dedication and be able to learn from mistakes — to make a mistake and accept that mistake and say, how do we grow from this?
We haven't had the teacher turnover that some schools have had. And so (teachers within every grade) are becoming content and curricular experts. When you put smart people in the room together talking about how they teach something, they are able to share lots of great ideas.
To see that pan out in improved performance — that's what you're so excited about. That's why you put all that effort and time and energy and debating and conversation in, because then our hard work paid off, and that's rewarding for teachers.
What is your school community like?
We are about 52 to 53 percent free and reduced lunch this year. We're about 50 percent white, about 35 to 40 percent African American and about 10 percent Hispanic.
It feels almost neighborhood- or community-like being back here. I think families know that they can come here and they can partner with staff members to try to find the best ways to help their children. We serve rural families and out-of-district families who choose to come to Robey, and we take pride in that fact.
What is your approach to leadership?
I think we have very talented, dedicated, smart people, and so I feel like my job is to get them the resources that they need. I trust the decisions that teachers make. So I want them to feel empowered to make those decisions and suggest those changes and improvements that help us move forward as a school.
I talked about staff continuity already. I think that is something I maybe even initially underestimated how important it was. It fosters a sense of collegiality. They know they've got each others' backs.
It also just gives them time to wrap their minds around our curriculum. The first time you teach it, that's a big undertaking. It's overwhelming. And so to have consistency (with our teaching staff) from year to year … was critical to our success.

KITCHEN MAVEN: ADDED VALUE FOR (ALMOST) ALL MEALS


Ever visit a Planetarium when you were a kid? The lights went out. The night sky appeared black, but tiny pinpoints of light emerged. The moderator began illuminating images that weren't immediately visible. The stars began to connect into patterns and the patterns began to weave stories. The vastness of the universe felt suddenly navigable. Wonder and curiosity evolved into newfound understanding.
Wonder, curiosity, patterns and, ultimately, connections -- that's what drives the philosophy of Planetarium. The firm was founded on a belief in the importance and power of connecting with an audience via planning -- charting an informed, strategic course, prior to setting out on the marketing, branding and communications development journey.
Our aim, through our customized qualitative, quantitative and qual/quant hybrid market research approaches and methodologies, is to help clients make connections with their audience members, illuminating patterns and weaving a story from insights and understanding.
Bringing research insights to the table, we then help clients connect with their colleagues, facilitating workshops and working sessions that help lead the team to see their brand's full potential and best understand the richest territory for their marketing, branding and communications.
We then can help apply all the research and workshop outputs, providing informed, world-class marketing, brand and communication strategy, consultation and guidance that establish a blueprint for success.
Helping clients make connections and align the stars for their brands. That's what we do.
Planetarium uses a four-phased approach of Exploration, Navigation, Inspiration and Activation. Our mission is to connect data points, turn them into insights and create a distinct Brand Narrative that translates into complete Brand Engagement. The end-goal is to foster brand and communication ideas that create true belief in an audience, getting them to care enough to think differently and take action.
No two clients have the exact same needs and we pride ourselves on tailoring to those specific needs. Planetarium has a proposed process that utilizes methods we've found successful at achieving insight, strategy, communications and team commitment. Once we've had a chance to chat with you and understand your needs, timing and budget, we start from there to tailor our approach.
We generate the most appropriate approach and line of questioning to get genuine insight and a fresh perspective out of research. Our belief is that, upfront, ethnographic research is a powerful approach to truly understanding our audience and their wants, needs, hopes and dreams.
Through a customizable program, we aggregate the results of search engines and websites to find specified search terms in online discussions. These discussions are broadcast as Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feeds which can be coded for quantitative and qualitative analysis, allowing us to examine the terminology, syntax and sentiment being conveyed online by our audience.
We use this research/workshop approach to help better understand and validate how consumers think about a given category and how to best intersect with them throughout their day.
This recommended approach to group research is to spark conversation between different constituents (such as sales force and customers, physicians and patients, etc.) to understand their dialogue, potential tensions and connection points.
We focus on, quantify and prioritize the mindsets and behaviors of different audiences. Our resident expert Henry Gamse has over 500 of these studies under his belt.
We take all the consumer research and information and bring our audience to life in flesh and blood terms via video, photography or various other multi-media approaches. This creates a galvanizing focal point for an organization, around which all communications are developed and evaluated.
We bring together all core constituents and help them look at the brand from different angles to determine prospective positionings. We then lead teams in elevating the functional positionings into higher-order brand ideas and stories.
Using "mood boards" and other projective approaches, we conduct qualitative research to instigate conversations around the most appropriate and compelling positioning and Brand Narrative for the brand.
We kick start the creative process with clear direction and sure-fire ideation techniques and approaches.
This evaluative research informs the decision of which specific creative pathway and messaging to utilize for the brand.
We create 360-degree internal and external audience engagement platforms, inclusive of traditional and non-traditional media.
We lead the internal rollout of brands, bringing them to life and helping internal constituents "live" the brand idea and become its ambassadors.
We gauge success and diagnose necessary course corrections along the way.
Market research, brand planning and communication planning are the core of the company. Therefore, we provide clients with the following services.
I've spent 20 years working across a wide range of categories on behalf of countless regional, national and global brands. My quest for true consumer insight and drive to create compelling brand and communication strategies have led to a long history of successful marketing initiatives. And it's now led me to start Planetarium.
From cars (I was behind Mazda's long-running "Zoom Zoom" campaign and also framed the underpinnings for what became the recent, award-winning Chrysler "Imported From Detroit" campaign) to fast food to CPG to banking to entertainment to healthcare – and everything in between –I've dug for insights and developed brand and communication strategy across a wide swath of categories.
One of my fortes is identifying target audiences and bringing them to life in flesh and blood terms. I pride myself on finding positioning articulations that truly differentiate and then translating those positionings into creative briefs that inspire and focus creative teams. Along the way, I'm an adept and high-energy market researcher, facilitator, idea-nurturer, instigator and coach.
Before starting Planetarium, I was at Palio, a leading healthcare communications agency, serving on the company's operating board and heading up its 20+ member Insight and Brand Strategy Group. It's the fourth agency at which I helped launch an account/brand planning discipline. I'm a frequent guest lecturer in advertising and market research and have been a member of numerous industry panels.
