In just a few days (February 2, 2010 to be exact) my album Disturb The Air will be available as a download from iTunes. Hooray!
This is possibly my personal favorite of the six Dimentia 13 albums, which will all be released as downloads this year. I say "possibly" because which one is my favorite depends on what day you ask me. Here is an on-line review of the album if you want to know what somebody else thinks of it. Please avoid the download they posted. It's crappy and what's worse, I don't get paid for it.
The legit download comes from Smog Veil Records. It's not up on their site yet. But when it is, you'll also be able to download from them eight pages of liner notes in PDF format that I put together about the writing, recording and producing of the album as well as some of the contemporary reviews and articles about it. It's now on Amazon for pre-ordering as are the rest of the Dimentia 13 albums.
Disturb The Air was the third Dimentia 13 album. It came out in 1989, though it was recorded in 1988. The producer was Glenn Rehse of the band Plasticland. Their compilation album Make Yourself a Happening Machine is something you must own in order to be cool. Returning the favor, I appeared on You Need a Fairy Godmother, Plasticland's live album with Twink who was a former member of The Pretty Things and sometime drummer for Syd Barrett.
Although Disturb The Air was the third Dimentia 13 album, it was the first to be recorded with a real band. I had played pretty much all of the instruments on the first two records with the exception of a couple of keyboard parts. But by the time it came to record the third album I had moved from Akron, Ohio to Chicago and had been playing live there with a band.
I'd gotten word that Glenn Rehse of Plasticland liked the first two Dimentia 13 albums a lot and wanted to work with us. I was already a huge fan of Plasticland and this seemed like a dream come true. Glenn was just a couple hours north in Milwaukee, so we met and talked and decided it could be done.
It was loads of fun to do this album, even though we had to drive two hours to the studio in Milwaukee. It was great to hang out with Glenn and get to experience his vast collection of amazing 60s memorabilia.
It's also cool to revisit a time in my life that I haven't written very much about. It's ironic to me that Zero Defex (0DFx), whose sole recorded output up until 2007 consisted of a handful of tracks on two compilation albums have eclipsed Dimentia 13 who recorded six full-length albums (although the sixth one was unreleased, until later this year when the download comes out). But I guess that's the way things go. But at the time these albums were being recorded I was giving my all to making Dimentia 13 a successful band. I feel like we were artistically successful even though we never had a hit record.
I began practicing zazen and studying Buddhism just before I started making the Dimentia 13 records. When I listen to them now I can hear little hints dropped into the lyrics. But I didn't want to sound preachy and end up like George Harrison with his annoying Hare Krishna albums (although those are my personal favorites of his records), so I never clearly stated that I was drawing lots of inspiration from Buddhism. In fact, much of what reviewers at the time saw as drug-influenced psychedelia in the lyrics was actually my own warped take on Buddhist philosophy. Ironically, my drug days were long over before the psychedelic band Dimentia 13 came to be.
The article I've posted on the bottom of this piece comes from the Milwaukee Journal in 1989 and tells a lot about the making of the album.
You've got about a week to save up your money for the download. Better get started now!

TRANSMISSION and HAYATA
Man! I woke up at ten o'clock this morning. I don't think I've woken up that late since I was like 25. I used to be a late sleeper when I was a rock musician. You have to be when you get back at 4 AM from a gig. But these days even on the rare occasions I actually do get back from a gig at 4 AM I still wake up by seven. This is one of the many reasons I can't do those kinds of gigs anymore. I guess I must be really jet-lagged from all that travel!
Anyway, this girl named Sarah was minding my apartment while I was away (after the magnificent Teresa Hurray got done with her turn there, during which she completely overhauled the place and made it much more livable). Sarah's a big Beatle geek. And I have two copies of the Beatles Anthology book. One was given to me by the folks at Chronicle Books when I was working on the book about Eiji Tsuburaya I did for them. So I decided to give one of those copies to Sarah.
But inside the book were two very interesting photos that I've posted here today and that I wanted to write about. The first one is there on top. It shows, from left to right, Peter Rocca, Nishijima Roshi, me and Taijun Saito. It is the only photo I have taken on the day of my Dharma Transmission ceremony.
Peter also received the Dharma that day. In the first draft of Hardcore Zen I mentioned this. But my editor thought that if I included Peter he would become a character in the book and would draw the reader into another story that wasn't really the one we were trying to tell. So Peter ended up on the cutting room floor and I've always felt bad about that. But here now is the evidence! Sorry Peter!
Taijun was Nishijima Roshi's jisha (assistant) at the time. She had coached me on how to wear my kesa (Buddhist robe) for hours and hours and yet it still kept falling off. Here she is adjusting it for the umpteenth time that evening. Before she fell in with Nishijima Roshi, Taijun had trained in a temple where they take these kinds of things very seriously. The photo was taken by Yuka, who always liked taking photos of me when I was looking especially stupid.
The other photo must have been taken around the same time. It shows me with actor Susumu Kurobe. Kurobe played Hayata, the guy who transforms into Ultraman in the original 1966 TV series. In order to transform into the towering 120 foot tall superhero, Hayata always raised a thing called the Beta Capsule into the air. There'd be a blinding flash of light and Ultraman would appear.
In one famous episode, Hayata accidentally raised a spoon into the air (he'd been having lunch when disaster struck in the form of a marauding monster). This episode actually caused a huge stir at the network. Apparently they couldn't abide by the idea of the hero of the show making a mistake. But Tsuburaya Productions rallied around director Akio Jissoji and insisted the scene stay in the show.
ANYWAY I was out to dinner with Kurobe-san and prevailed upon him to recreate that scene with me in front of the restaurant. Cool, huh?
The reason I was having dinner with Kurobe-san that night was somehow related to a legal case we were pursuing in Southeast Asia at the time. A film producer in one of those countries had appeared on our doorstep sometime in the mid-1990's with what he claimed was a "contract" entitling him to all overseas sales rights to Ultraman.
The document itself (we never called it a contract at the office) was highly dubious. It got the names of the shows wrong, it contained no mention of any sort of remuneration, parts of the document seemed to have been typed in at different times like someone had fed it thru a typewriter after it had been initially created trying to add new lines in but make them look like they'd been there from the beginning. Furthermore, the "contract" was supposed to have been signed in 1974, yet the man who possessed it had taken 21 years to claim the rights it had allegedly given him.
In short, he had a very weak case. But he somehow convinced the president of our company to sign a letter of apology for having violated these rights. He was making a big pest of himself and implied that he would go away happily if only we just apologized in a friendly and gentlemanly fashion.
Amazingly, the president of our company gave him the letter of apology he demanded. From then on the Southeast Asian movie producer used this letter of apology as evidence that the dubious "contract" was, in fact, legitimate. He was able to drag the case through the courts for ages.
The moral of the story is, if someone has a very weak -- or, as in this case, pretty much non-existent -- case against you, never apologize for something you didn't do, especially on paper. It will haunt you forever. They're still fighting this in the courts, though thankfully I no longer have to work on it.
It was such a slimy thing to do, demanding the letter of apology when he knew full well he had no case at all without it. I'm still amazed that it worked. Only someone truly naive would sign such a thing. But, my God, what kind of lousy, amoral sleezebag asks for a letter of apology when he knows full well he only intends to use that against the person he gets the apology from? It's truly sad. (Oh sorry, commenters! I know I'm only supposed to give beautiful Buddha blessings to everyone in the world... Feh!)
I've written up this story about three dozen times on behalf of the company when I worked for them and it always made me mad. Now it just seems sad. At least I know that if I'm ever asked for a letter of apology over something I didn't do I ain't signing it! And let that be a word of advise to all of you. Don't say you never learned nothin' from this blog!
I'm sorry. You guys wanted some "dharma" didn't you? OK. I was gonna write a piece about jukai, the precepts ceremony. I performed a jukai ceremony last week and one the week before that. I don't do them very often. Lots of Buddhist teachers do them constantly. I was gonna try and write out my own personal philosophy about jukai and why I so rarely do it. But I'll save that for next time when I'm not all jet-lagged and full of nostalgia. OK?
See ya soon!

(NewsUSA) - For many parents, dropping children off at daycare or preschool produces both relief and dread -- relief that they can go to work, dread that they've left their child in other people's hands.
As many parents realize, bringing together small children builds character and social skills -- while also spreading germs.
But parents can protect their families against the colds and viruses that young children may bring home along with their arts and crafts. Clean hands help stop germs from spreading, so parents should insist that children wash their hands when they come home and before they eat.
Children should use soap and scrub carefully, making sure to clean the backs of their hands, their wrists and between their fingers for at least 30 seconds. To make sure children wash their hands long enough, parents can ask them to sing a song like "Happy Birthday" or "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."
Parents should make sure their children's toys are clean. If a child insists that a toy go to preschool, where other children might handle it, that toy should be washed that night. If parents notice children mouthing toys, they should separate those toys into plastic bags until they can be cleaned.
Parents should always keep their children home if they start to look sick or have symptoms like stomach pain, headache or fever. Of course, taking a fussy preschooler's temperature can be difficult.

The completion of human and primate genome sequences (including some close, extinct relatives) reveals a great deal about the evolutionary innovations behind modern humans. All indications are a large collection of relatively subtle genetic changes added up to considerable differences in our brains and anatomy.
So, it was a bit shocking to see a headline claiming a single gene separated us from our fellow apes. The article behind the headline turned out to be wrong, of course. But there was an additional research paper behind that article. The story this told turned out to be rather interesting, even after the hype was stripped away.
The second paper was the product of a research group studying the evolution of human micro RNAs. These are short pieces of RNA that form a "hairpin" structure: two stretches of complementary sequence that can base pair to form a double helix, separated by a short loop that lets the RNA fold back on itself.
Micro RNAs, unlike messenger RNAs, don't code for other proteins. Instead, they help control which messenger RNAs do get made into proteins. The hairpin structure is recognized by a complex of proteins inside the cell, which process it in a way that leaves a short guide sequence exposed. The guide sequence can then base pair with sequences on messenger RNAs, leading the protein complex to them. The complex will typically either block the messenger RNA from being translated into protein or cause it to be destroyed altogether.
The net result of this: a single micro RNA can determine whether a much larger number of genes are made into proteins. In that sense, they act a lot like the proteins that bind to DNA and regulate the activity of large collections of genes.
To find micro RNAs that might be involved in human evolution, the authors of the new study identified over 1,400 micro RNAs known to be active in human cells. Next they searched for the equivalent sequences in the genomes of 10 other mammalian species (as well as, for some reason, the chicken). Most of these seem to have appeared in our ancestors' genomes long before humans were a species, but 10 of them appeared to be unique to us. And another dozen have mutations in key regions that help determine their activity.
Since the authors were interested in human-specific activity, they looked in an organ that's got distinctive features in humans: the brain. Most of the collection wasn't active there, but one was—miR-941.
Looking at the region in the human genome that contains miR-941 showed it's an area with a series of repeats of the same sequence, arranged in tandem. Chimps and macaques have similar sequences, but the duplications aren't arranged in a way that allows the production of a hairpin structure. Somewhere after we split off from chimps 6 million years ago, a rearrangement in the area (an event that's common in areas with duplicated sequences) created the human form of miR-941. It was already in place a million years ago, when the Denisovan population branched off.
But the rearrangements didn't end there, as there have been a series of duplications that created as many as 11 extra copies of miR-941 (the numbers vary in different populations, but average is about six or seven copies in most). The extra copies should help ensure it's expressed at higher levels than it would be otherwise.
A variety of evidence indicated it's likely to be having a significant impact on gene regulation. miR-941 is expressed in a variety of tissues, and the sequences it recognizes are present in two important signaling pathways that contribute to the growth and structures of the brain (hedgehog and insulin) and other tissues. And, if you express it in the cells from other primates, it is able to shut a variety of genes down. In humans, several of those genes no longer respond to miR-941 due to mutations in their sequence. This suggests the appearance of the micro RNA caused a period of fine-tuning of its targets (in order to more precisely control its regulation of gene expression).
So, the authors propose a model where, somewhere after our ancestors had branched off from chimps, a DNA rearrangement produced miR-941. That probably had a mix of effects, some beneficial, some harmful. But further mutations quickly allowed us to escape from the impacts of the harmful ones, leaving us with a valuable new regulatory circuit to control gene expression.
Is this the one change that made us human? Clearly not, since we already know about a variety of other, seemingly significant genetic differences between us and chimps. But it's certainly plausible that miR-941 contributed to the changes that make humans distinctive. Unfortunately, the authors are going to have a hard time testing that. The stretch of DNA that encodes miR-941 is right in the middle of another gene that helps control neural function, and the only known genetic defect in the area takes out both of them. But the defect does produce changes in brain and behavior.

Over the past decade, the emergence of new ETFs and other exchange-traded products (ETPs) has effectively democratized access to certain asset classes that had previously been out of reach for many non-institutional investors. Today, in addition to traditional equity index ETFs, investors can gain exposure to commodities, foreign currencies, fixed-income securities and a growing number of more sophisticated investment strategies. Along with the benefits of having more options from which to choose comes a renewed responsibility for investment advisors to understand the strategy by which an ETP provides exposure to a given asset class, since different strategies, even within the same asset class, may provide vastly different results. This is particularly apparent when considering commodity-related ETPs, for which a look under the hood at two different approaches serves to illustrate this point.
Commodity Futures-Related ETPs
One popular approach employed by various ETPs is to systematically maintain a long position in the near-month futures contract for a specific commodity or basket of commodities. This provides a relatively close proxy for short-term spot price fluctuations, to which near-month futures contracts are highly sensitive. The challenge faced by ETPs that employ rolling near-month futures contracts is observed when futures contracts for later months are more expensive than shorter-dated contracts. This condition, referred to as "contango," is not unusual as later-month contracts are often more expensive than the near-month contract, reflecting the expected storage costs for that commodity as well as interest rates.
However, for longer-term investors in a commodity ETP, contango may be problematic since the ETP systematically realizes a loss of capital each time it rolls long exposure from a near-month futures contract to a more expensive later-month futures contract. Over longer periods of time, this capital erosion may cause the ETP to significantly underperform the spot price.
Commodity-Related Equity ETPs
ETPs that invest in equities related to specific commodities are another alternative for investors to gain indirect commodity exposure. Because a large proportion of a company's cost for producing a commodity is fixed, the variable price it receives is an important driver for its earnings.
Of course, commodity spot price movements are not the only factor that impacts a related company's earnings. Commodity producers often seek to smooth out the variability of spot price movements by selling future production in the commodity futures market. Additionally, many producers can temporarily shift production to other commodities that may be more profitable in the short term.
Investment Theses and ETPs
One of the most important questions investors should consider when evaluating commodity ETPs is how well each matches up with his or her investment thesis. For example, an investor interested in speculating on the potential for short-term price gains for natural gas during hurricane season, due to potential storm-induced production shutdowns in the Gulf of Mexico, may be well-served by choosing a natural gas futures-related ETP. Such an ETP will generally be more sensitive to short-term natural gas price movements than an ETF that invests in natural gas-related equities would be.
On the other hand, an investor who is more interested in the long-term case for the natural gas industry may find an ETP that invests in natural gas-related equities more appropriate. While both types of ETPs may benefit from increasing prices, natural gas companies may operate quite profitably even when prices are stable.
In general, there are few instances of good ETPs versus bad ETPs. In sifting through the ever-expanding universe of ETPs, investors are best served by inquiring which ETP is bested suited to achieve their objectives.

West Somerset Railway
The Railway Station
Tel: (+44) 01643 704 996
Postcode for Sat Nav: TA24 6LG
Today the station boasts two long platforms and its signal box controls a level crossing whose gates are operated by the traditional capstan wheel apparatus. The down platform side building houses a small Great Western Railway Museum which opens on Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays between Easter and the end of September and most Galas.
Blue Anchor Station has a booking office which sells our full range of tickets for the railway. Please see the Fares Pages to find out more about fares from this Station. Toilets are available on the Station but there are no disabled toilet facilities though the platforms are accessible by ramp.
Blue Anchor is a quiet seaside village with a long sandy beach perfect for families and children. At high tide the promenade is a popular destination for fishermen hoping for a large catch. Blue anchor gives stunning coastal views to Minehead and Exmoor and across the Bristol Channel to South Wales and as far as Weston-super-Mare. For meals and snacks visit The Driftwood Cafe or the Smugglers Pub.
Until Doniford Halt was constructed in the 1980s Blue Anchor was the 'newest' station on the Line being built in the 1870s. Opened after Washford, Dunster and Minehead when the original line was extended to Minehead the station was first known as Bradley Gate before reverting to a name whose explanation is a source of some debate. The station grew to its present form and size gradually as seaside holidays grew in popularity.
In this early part of the 21st Century the population grows enormously as holiday makers arrive at the local park spread along the top of the esplanade that runs outside the station.

Maybe you could convince Hef that the mansion is haunted, and you can put together a team of paranormal investigators to check it out. Any volunteers?

A big thank-you to Bridget Marquardt from the E! Channel's Girls Next Door program. In the season II, "Girls Will Be Ghouls" episode, Bridget mentions my book, Encyclopedia of Haunted Places as she pulls it from her bookshelf. Thanks, Bridget! I believe the fact that one of my books is on the shelf at Hugh Hefner's Playboy Mansion gives me bragging rights for life.

Your child is a sprout that keeps growing, so why not start by planting a seed in their brain to make wiser financial choices for their future?
With today's economy in a tight crunch, it's more important than ever to start introducing your kids to the world of shiny coins and green bills. To ensure kids learn valuable lifelong financial skills, money lessons should really start around the ages of 5 or 6.
Money talk with your kids is a serious issue but can also be a fun learning process. Through games, store trips and raising money, they will take away lessons about saving, good future planning, using common sense and giving back in helping them reach their goals.
They will also teach their future children the same methods their parents did.
Give Back To Community
There's no better way to teach your kids about giving back to the community than through charitable donations. This can be done when attending your local church service or a non-profit organization your family cares about.
You can also help your kids raise money, such as having them put together a lemonade stand or by getting the community together for a charity walk.
Once the money has been raised, sit down with your kids and discuss a problem they may be concerned about in today's world. Is it the lack of education other children are receiving in other countries? Maybe it's concerning the well-being of the elderly or an endangered species?
No matter what the reason, your kids will feel better about themselves knowing that they made a difference in the world with encouragement from their parents.
Open An Account
Your children are the greatest joy that has been given to you, so why not start by saving up for them?
Open up a savings account for your kids as soon as they are born. Use money given as gifts from baby showers, holidays, birthdays, etc., and put it away for them.
You can teach them how they can put money away into their own home savings account by using a piggy bank. Once they are at an age to start earning an allowance for doing good deeds around the house, teach them to put a certain percentage away.
After they understand the concept of saving, put the money from their piggy bank into their already-established savings account. This also introduces your kids to the bank and how the institution works hard at investing their money.
Over time you can take the next step to teach them about how their money can make money by introducing them to a financial investment company. Don't you wish somebody had done the same for you when you were young?
Save, Save, Save!
Show your kids how much you spend per month on bills, food, gas and other necessities and what percentage you have left over to put away.
Financial experts say that you should put away at least 10 percent of whatever your paycheck is. Also tell them that some months may be tougher than others.
Take them shopping and show them how much groceries cost on an average trip or even how to save by buying the store brand instead of a high end brand. It's the same product and tastes great.
Another great way to show your kids how to get a bargain is by taking them to a local dollar store. There are many great items for a buck -- Kleenex, toothpaste, detergent, crackers and so on. When it comes time to check out, let them count out the money to pay the proper amount.
They will feel like a grown-up and have fun at the same time.
