I AM STILL - a CD from D.C. Anderson is a lesson in performing

2007-12-26T17:00:00.000-08:00

Spin it a couple of times before forming an opinion. Itll grow on ya. D.C. Anderson

D.C. Anderson is a New York City based actor, singer/songwriter and photographer. As an actor he has appeared on Broadway in Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom Of The Opera, on National Tour in Pippin (as Pippin), The Life And Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby, and Martin Guerre, regionally at the Guthrie and Steppenwolf Theaters and in episodic TV and movies made for television. As a cabaret performer he has made 6 appearances in the Mabel Mercer Foundation's Cabaret Convention at Town Hall in NYC as well as gigged at Don't Tell Mama, Triad, 88's, Toulouse, Davenport's, Downstairs Cabaret Theater, the Plush Room, the Cinegrill and Gardenia cabaret rooms. Cabaret Noel: A Broadway Cares Christmas, the 2 CD holiday benefit recording, was initiated and co-produced by D.C. in 1993. In 1995, along with Karen Benjamin and Margaret Irwin, he produced the first in what has become an annual nationwide benefit event A Holiday Cabaret. His solo recordings include the CD's Time Was (1993), The Box Under The Bed (1997), Blue Summer Day (2000), All Is Calm, All Is Bright (2001), Collected (2002) and Ballad (2004). D.C. is also a Bistro award-winning songwriter. A revue of his songs Not For The Squeamish has been performed in New York City and Minneapolis. His songbook Songs By D.C. And...Volume 1 is available through LMLMusic.com. PBS stations nationwide have broadcast his 1997 concert as a part of the Brownville Concert Series. www.dcanderson.net

D.C. Anderson is a friend of mine. Weve worked in the theatre together a few times. In the nineties, we performed together in a production of Man Of La Mancha. Around that same time, I directed him in a production of Youre Gonna Love Tomorrow. During that same season, I directed him in a production of Dames At Sea. D.C.s sister, Claudia and I worked together on a tiny little holiday production of Amahl And The Night Visitors. Back then, D.C. gave me his first CD, Time Was, and it played over and over at my house (still does). I have always thought that D.C. Anderson has a perfect voice (in the same way that Ive always thought that Barbara Cook has a perfect voice). He has an ideal vocal production that Ive always strived for in my work as a voice coach. The sound is musical, effortless and alive. Theres nothing forced about what D.C. does. His singing voice is his speaking voice made melodic. Since D.C. is a strong actor, theres a real presence in his songs hes there in-the-moment in each song. Each song is a mini-play, or really, in these recordings, more like a small independent film. As a voice coach, I frequently use recordings by many famous singers, to have voice students hear this ability to fully become the song. D.C. Andersons recordings are a masters lessons in performing this way.

Theatre people will enjoy this CD, while this CD is not really theatrical (in that it is not a bunch of show tunes). This CD is a collection of songs that are gentle, humorous, sad, witty, grieving, tender and touching. Its a sort of song cycle of modern art songs - songs that are in a sort of folk style. I write that with trepidation, as it implies a sort of stuffy or old fashioned sensibility, and this CD is not stuffy or old fashioned even while it is in the best possible way, old school. This CD is like a well-made independent film. Not catering to the mass-market style of popular music today, i am still is true to itself, true to D.C. Anderson as an artist.

I was lucky enough to receive this CD in the mail a month ago and have been living with the CD ever since. Now I think it is time that I tell others they should add this CD to their musical libraries. My students of voice coaching should pay close attention. Theres a self-deprecating sense of humor in some of the songs and definitely in the note that accompanied the CD:

Youll either head right over to your computer to order additional copies for friends, relatives and co-workers from LMLMusic.com or iTunes or youll turn to your cat and say, yet another CD from D.C. isnt that nice and put it under his bowl to protect the linoleum.

D.C. has a cottage industry with his recordings at www.dcanderson.net (not unlike my own little cottage industry of voice coaching in San Francisco). D.C. plans to conquer the world of recorded sound, friend by friend - and I plan to help him make that a reality.

Now, for some of my favorite songs on the collection (theyre all wonderful, these are just my favorites today as I write this). First theres I Am Still, which is such a beautiful poem, a short film of a piece. I should mention here that the music is by Steven Landau and it is quite good. Steven, another old friend, was Musical Director of the First National Tour of Titanic, and Musical Director and Arranger for the critically acclaimed Deaf West Theater production of Big River, which played at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, on Broadway at the American Airlines theater, and on international tour. Years ago, I was part of a singing duo, Corber and Quick, with Judy Corber, who is now the brilliantly talented up-and-coming jazz-singer-to-know, Judith Wexler (www.judywexler.com). Steven Landau was our orchestra at the keyboard. He was a great arranger for us, and a great man. Im so happy that hes writing these great songs with D.C. Theyre great pairing, along with the other composers on this collection.

This is how intimate the CD is - one of the funniest bits is the false start to Have Fun, it takes us right into the recording session with D.C. The song is pretty damned funny as well, and Elizabeth Doyles music gives it a very enjoyable Maltby/Shire feel. D.C. is so great at putting hilarity, joy and fun right into his voice. Sad Man an achingly tender song with music by Ron Zimmerman with lyrics so simple and moving. The music has an almost retro sixties feel, while it sometimes reminds me of Sondheim, sometimes of Bacharach and David, it always perfectly suits the lyrics. The man in this song is so fragile, so vulnerable. This is simply an elegant song, sung by a master musician. The intensely intimate guitar work at the top of Hard This Goodbye sets up the lonely lyricism that follows. The piano joins D.C. and the guitar for an effective trio. Theres a driving force to this ballad driven to the hard goodbye of the title. There are few rare gems like The Visit in this world, and I am grateful to D.C. and Steven for putting this one in such a perfect setting. Oh, I could write something about each song. Let me just add that Dear Mother is exquisite. The final song, Fixed Up Heart with music by Steven Landau, is another fluid blending of lyrics, guitar, piano, singer and song. Listen to this CD to discover which songs are your favorites.

Okay, I have to comment on Hello Nancy, Goodbye Ron. Nancy Reagan and Ronald Reagan D.C. has captured honest feelings that many of us experienced in dealing with this iconic couple - the man who turned his back on the AIDS crisis, and the woman who fights for stem cell research and a cure for Alzheimers. When the people in this country are so divided (so the media tells us), it is comforting to experience art of this sort, that deals with the grey areas (or, since we are divided red from blue, should that be the violet area?)

This is a great CD. It does grow on you as D.C. says. I find that it is a wonderful CD to listen to on the iPod, as it gives it that same intimacy with which the CD was recorded. Buy the CD, tell your friends about the CD. Go see D.C. live on December 4th in Manhattan at the Metropolitan Room and, believe it or not, in Fargo North Dakota playing Buddy in Follies: The Concert at North Dakota State in February of next year.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I hope youll take the time to visit D.C.s website and buy an album or two (the holidays are coming, and D.C.s music makes for great gift giving).

Meanwhile, I continue my work as a voice coach in San Francisco while I continue to write about theatre and song, among other things, at my website http://www.performancecoachsf.com. Another project Im now directing is an experimental first production of the new musical Homeland, by Jay Kuo, performing at the Magic Theatre in mid-December. (We had great success with Jays first musical Insignificant Others at The New Conservatory Theatre Center in San Francisco this summer). If youre interested in voice coaching, acting lessons and such, drop by my website http://www.performancecoachsf.com and see what I have to offer.

George Quick is an award winning actor and director in San Francisco. He is a voice coach and acting teacher and more information can be found at his website http://www.performancecoachsf.com. George has been working as a performance coach for 15 years. He's been a professional actor for 30 years and a professional theatre director for 10 years.Plymout

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8: On and Off Road Exhilaration

2007-12-25T20:45:00.000-08:00

Call it MOPAR madness or call it sheer, ingenious automotive marketing and engineering, but whatever you decide to call the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, you must realize one thing: no production vehicle has effectively combined off road ruggedness with on road durability. Until the Grand Cherokee SRT8 came along that is. Yes, not since the GMC Typhoon has an SUV proven to be a highway dominator as well as an off road maven. However, the Jeep Cherokee SRT8 goes well beyond any 4x4 vehicle by delivering a versatile, pavement pounding, all-around SUV.

The folks at Chryslers Street and Racing Technology (SRT) group could not leave well enough alone. From the Neon to the Viper and from the 300C to the Ram pickup truck, no model has been too sacred to receive a proper work over from the team. First it was a bevy of Dodge models, then it was the Chrysler 300C, but no Jeep model had yet been targeted for the groups overhaul. The Grand Cherokee however was past due as fond memories of the GMC Typhoon likely played a part in the decision to inject SRT steroids into a widely acclaimed Jeep model. Indeed, the SRT group knew that 0 to 60 in five seconds with the Grand Cherokee would beat the Typhoons numbers by about four tenths of a second, easily making the Jeep model the all time leader on the road as it is already off the road.

Much like the full size SRT cars sold by Dodge and Chrysler, a 6.1L Hemi V8 was the engine of choice for the SRT team tasked with building the beefy Jeep. With 420 h.p. and 420 lb.-ft of torque, the burly Hemi would serve duty in the Grand Cherokee SRT8 along with 20 inch Goodyear performance tires, Bilstein shocks, four piston Brembo brakes, a Quadra-Trac On-Demand four wheel drive system, and a capable five speed automatic transmission. Indeed, when the project was completed, the Grand Cherokee SRT8 was paired against the Porsche Cayenne SUV and the Jeep won!

If the Grand Cherokee SRT8 isnt fast enough for you or if you want to experience a rich, deep tone while driving, then the aftermarket parts industry has just what you need.

Magnaflow Exhaust has developed a performance exhaust system that pairs well with the Grand Cherokee SRT8. Developed from airliner quality stainless steel, a Magnaflow Exhaust delivers more horsepower, frees up more torque, and provides a rich tone not found on the typical Jeep exhaust system.

When it comes to air intake systems, Dubair and Airaid have induction systems that work great with your engine. Dirt is filtered out and cool air is invited in to deliver more horsepower, enhanced torque, while offering a deep, throaty tone that is certain to inspire you.

Naturally, the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 has something that neither the current day Porsche Cayenne or the long since past GMC Typhoon could offer: thorough off roading capabilities. Like all Jeep SUVs, the Grand Cherokee SRT8 is trail rated so you get the best 4x4 capabilities matched to its top notch road competency. A true competitor no matter where you take it: the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8!

Calcium, What's The Big Deal?

2007-12-24T16:08:00.000-08:00

The big question about Calcium, exactly what is Calcium and why is Calcium so important to you and I?

What is Calcium?

Calcium is one of the most abundant micro-nutrient found in our body. 99% of our bodys total calcium is stores in the bones and teeth. The remaining 1% of calcium is then found throughout our body in blood, muscles, and the fluid in between cells. Calcium is also needed for muscle contraction and the secretion of hormones and enzymes. There are much more usage of Calcium, but to put simply, Calcium is important for Bone repair/formations and the contraction of muscles. Calcium is also the answer to strong and dense bones.

Different Types of Calcium, Which is Best?

Calcium is an element and it comes in various forms. Theres Calcium citrate, Calcium phosphate, Calcium Gluconate, Calcium Carbonate, and e.t.c. The list can go on and on, but which is the most common one that is best absorbed by the body?

There is something called the elemental weight. Calcium phosphate has an elemental weight of 31-38% whilst Calcium carbonate has an elemental weight of 40%. Lets use Calcium Carbonate (Most common form of Calcium found in the market) as an example, if you take 500mg of Calcium carbonate, only 200mg of elemental Calcium is available for absorption. Ill make things simpler by giving you an analogy; lets presume that youre now going down to the fuel station to pump some petrol for your car. There are 2 types of Petrol and both are mixed with water. For every liter of petrol, Petrol X contains 20% petrol whilst Petrol Y contains 40% petrol. We do know that cars require petrol to move and not water. So the obvious choice will be Petrol Y. The same goes to us, our body can only utilize elemental Calcium, and therefore, Calcium Carbonate is one of the better choices of Calcium supplements to take.

Vitamin D & Calcium Absorption

Taking Calcium alone is not as effective taking calcium with a good dose of Vitamin D. Vitamin D helps improve Calcium absorption. To put things simply, lets imagine things this way. Before calcium is absorbed by our body, it needs go through a door which is locked and requires a key to open it. Vitamin D is the key to opening this door to allow calcium into your body and from there allows the body to utilize the Calcium.

What NOT to Consume Calcium With

We should not be consuming Calcium with Zinc and Iron. This is so as our body prioritizes Calcium over the other two minerals. I advise you to take Zinc and Iron at a time when your body has little Calcium, preferably 30mins-60mins after drinking your milk. When purchasing multivitamins, do also look at the Nutrition fact sheet to see if any of this minerals are stashed together.

http://www.supplementtracker.com/articles/supplements/evaluating-dietary-supplements

How much Calcium is Needed?

If youre just an average adult, I would recommend taking anything from 800mg 1200mg of Calcium a day. However, if youre an athlete or bodybuilder, you should be taking up to 2000mg 2300mg of Calcium a day. Good sources of protein include Milk, yoghurt, cheese. Taking more than 2500mg of Calcium may cause you to get wet stools.

Benefits

Calcium will help you maintain a healthy bone mass, delay the onset of osteoporosis and recent research articles have also shown that Calcium aids weight loss.

Van Insurance -- How to Find the Cover for Your Business Needs Quick & Easy

2007-12-23T01:01:00.000-08:00

It can be very difficult to make good decisions about van insurance for your business and what it needs. With careful thought and adequate knowledge, however, you will at least be able to weigh the options in an educated way. Here are some suggestions to help you make the best decision for your van insurance.

One thing that can help you in your van insurance decisions is calling in an expert. Since you have better things to do than spend all your valuable time researching insurance, a Professional Employer Organization, or PEO, can help you find good van insurance for your company. Workforce Solutions is one example of a PEO that will provide the services of an HR department for your company. This means that benefits and other HR responsibilities are available to your company from this separate entity. A PEO can help you by providing expert administration of your workers, so you don't have to deal with the trouble. They are able to help you find out what the best insurance for your employees will be, and they have the resources to find package deals to save you money.

Another thing that will help you greatly in your van insurance search is to know what you need. Coverage is different for different situations. This means you must have accurate information about your employees to determine which quote will be best for you. It can be helpful to find out what van insurance they already have, and what van insurance will be most helpful to them.

Depending on your situation, it may not be feasible to ask the kind of questions you need to in order to get the information you need. This is where demographic information about your employees can help. For instance, older employees may need long term disability insurance, or better health plans. Your younger workers, on the other hand, may want family coverage, low co-payments, and better deductibles. Longer term benefits are less important to them. Workers over thirty-five will find that life insurance appeals to them more than to younger employees.

Group discounts on van insurance can be very attractive in some businesses, but if many of your employees rely on public transit to get to work, they may desire it less. Group van insurance discounts are best for businesses in rural or suburban locations.

Of course, insurance packages won't meet every employee's needs. You must try to please the majority, but it won't be possible to please everyone. However, you can learn the general needs of your employees, so far as insurance goes.

In addition to insuring you employees, you must insure your business. Insurance is a basic tool that you can use to reduce your business's risk. Deciding whether or not you need to be insured is simple. Merely calculate what you would have to pay if a problem occurred, then decide if you're capable of covering that cost without seriously interrupting your business. If you can't, then you should call upon insurance to protect you.

There are some common risks that businesses often look for insurance to mitigate. These include legal liabilities; property loss due to fire, theft, or acts of nature; Loss of important decision makers; loss of money due to business interruption; and insurance for company cars and vans.

Unfortunately, it's not as easy to pick the right, affordable insurance as it is to decide that you need to have it. It is, however, important to remember that your insurance guarantees recovery of losses in the event of a claim. Therefore, you should determine what you can't afford to lose in an emergency, and insure those.

Liability insurance is one very popular kind of insurance used by businesses. Most businesses will have some risk of being sued through their daily business conduct. Liability insurance policies meant that this risk is not borne solely by the policyholder. If you are sued in the course of conducting business, a liability policy will help provide relief from these expenses based on your agreed terms.

Keep these basic in mind when you plan you business's insurance coverage. Decide what assets must be protected. These can be equipment and property that are vital to doing business. To avoid big problems later, make sure that you protect these with insurance coverage.

Decide as well what kind of loss to insure yourself against. Different locations and different kinds of businesses incur different risks. You insurance provider will be able to help you decide which kinds of protection are most important. Remember, however, that no business is proof against fire or theft, even if you appear to be in a safe location or industry.

Most small businesses don't incur a great deal of risk. Their offices are generally operated in a stable location and there is little of great value on the premises. Because this is a very common way to do business, most insurance carriers have a form of standard small business insurance coverage. This insurance is usually referred to as a BOP, which stands for Business Owner's Policy. It normally contains property coverage, liability insurance, and protects against loss from theft or vandalism. You can usually add other coverages to these packages to customize them for your business. If you' are hoping to get a standard van insurance package without a great deal of work, ask your insurance agent or provider whether they offer a BOP.

When choosing an insurer, make sure that you look for a company that will work with you individually. They should be willing to help you look over your current coverage, identify areas where you have holes in your van insurance coverage and might be at risk, comprehend your options and their products and services, and to help protect you business from danger. If a problem does occur, your insurance company should be willing to help you through the claims process without a problem.

If you are not ready to do all of this yourself, you can get help through the Van Insurance Britain.co.uk The staff of these organizations have the skills and experience to get your business properly insured. They are also familiar with many insurance providers, so they know the ins and outs of the insurance business and can get you the right coverage at a good price. If you need insurance for either your employees or your company in general, a PEO such as Workforce Solutions is a great place to look.

The Legacy Of John Delorean

2007-12-22T17:16:00.000-08:00

John Delorean is probably most remembered as the creator of the time traveling car in the Back to the Future movies. Many will also recall that his gull winged car failed miserably on the open market and as a result he turned to illegal and shady dealings to try and save his company.

Lost in the glitter and drama of such a legacy, his important contribution to the world of sports cars is often overlooked. Without Deloreans influence, sports car design and production would most likely have taken a different course.

In 1964, Delorean practically single handedly started the muscle car movement when he put a massive V8 engine into a Pontiac Tempest and produced the GTO.

The GTO became the most loved of the muscle cars and was a big seller for Pontiac.

Because of his great success with the GTO, he was rewarded with rapid advancement through the ranks of automobile executives. Eventually however, he decided to leave it all behind and break out on his own.

He took his ideas to Northern Ireland where he set up shop and hoped he could compete with the big three auto makers in Detroit. The Delorean Motor Company was the result and it produced the infamous DMC-12. This was his famous gull wing door car. Its doors flipped up stead of opening out, the car was futuristic in appearance with its brushed stainless steel body.

The car never achieved the success that Delorean had dreamed of. In fact, only 9000 ever made it onto the road. However, its memory will always live on thanks to the Back to the Future films. Although not a success in and of itself, it inspired many new designs and refinements later adopted by other car manufacturers.

Delorean was an outstanding business success not only in the automotive world, but also with hotel investing and NFL franchising. Deloreans fall from grace was aired publicly and shocking to many. He was accused of financial misconduct and cocaine trafficking. His empire was soon decimated and he filed for bankruptcy.

It wasnt the end of Delorean however. In 1999, he announced he would be producing a new affordable sports car made of plastic. Even with all his faults, he still drew much interests based on his previous important contributions to the sports car industry. Unfortunately Delorean passed on in 2004 before work was completed on his new vision.
