Nominated earlier this week for two Film Independent Spirit Awards, "Zero Bridge" is the feature-film debut from director and screenwriter Tariq Tapa which is currently screening across the globe.
Jack Stevenson at Bright Light Film Journal uncovers the story of "Porno to the People –The Danish Revolution That Liberated America."
Based on the book by Steve McVicker, "I Love You Phillip Morris" stars Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor as cell mates and soul mates. With a February 2010 release date, the film is the first directorial effort from "Cats & Dogs" and "Bad Santa" screenwriters Glenn Ficarra and John Requa.
One Film Wonder: Born in Nova Scotia, Harold Russell was a U.S. Army instructor at Camp MacKall in North Carolina when he lost both his hands from a TNT explosion in 1944. Afterwards, Russell appeared in an Army training film which was seen by director William Wyler, who cast the non-professional actor in "The Best Years of Our Lives" in the role of Homer Parrish. The 1946 film — which chronicled the adjustment of three American soldiers (including Frederic March and Dana Andrews) to post-war life upon their return to their Midwestern hometown — won 7 Oscars, including Best Picture. Russell earned the Best Actor in a Supporting Role accolade and also received an Honorary Oscar "for bringing hope and courage to his fellow veterans through his appearance in 'The Best Years of Our Lives.'" He is still the only person to win two Oscars for the same performance. With a university business degree earned following his appearance in the film, Russell became immersed in advocating for veterans' groups. After a 34-year gap, Russell appeared in his second film, 1980s "Inside Moves." He had roles in two other films: 1990s "Payback" and 1997's "Dogtown." Russell died in 2002.

The culinary story of Loudoun includes a thriving wine industry and foods as diverse as the land that grows them. The Touring Guide to DC's Wine Country: Loudoun, Virginia is a 144-page booklet designed to guide you along your journey of Loudoun's food and wine experiences. The Harmony Cluster is one of five driving "clusters" identified in the guide. So named for the nearby town of Hamilton, originally called Harmony, this cluster appropriately begins at Willowcroft Farm Vineyards, Loudoun's first winery which was opened in 1984, marking the birthplace of DC's Wine Country. But before you depart, stop in South Street Under in Leesburg to pick up picnic provisions for your journey. Then head down two of Loudoun's scenic byways, Rt. 15 south to Harmony Church Road that will lead you through serene wooded sections of Loudoun. Willowcroft sits high atop Catoctin Ridge, and offers panoramic views of the Loudoun Valley. This cluster also includes stops at Zephaniah Farm Vineyard, Casanel Vineyards, and Dry Mill Vineyards, all new to the Loudoun wine scene and proving its growing reputation. Learn more about their stories in the Touring Guide. Sample the wines the author suggests and use the guide to make your own tasting notes – after all, wine tasting is as personal as winemaking! At the end of your tour, have dinner at the Lightfoot Restaurant, one of Loudoun's five Destination Restaurants. Situated across from the stately county courthouse in Leesburg, this turn-of-the-century bank, turned polished, exquisite dining space, is adorned with a rare and striking collection of 1920s original French posters. From fried green tomatoes to atomic crab cakes, and prime rib to peanut butter tortes, the food is imaginative and does not disappoint.

PPP is just a rebranded BOT like those patterned from the time of Gloria and Ramos.
To quote Dean de la Paz: The economic managers of Noynoy are vestiges from the Gloria Arroyo's economic team and under her, its current secretary held the trade and finance portfolios responsible for today's adverse realities. It was between 2004 and 2005 that the deficit deteriorated into a fiscal crisis virtually killing infrastructure development. Hence, we expect the DOF nominee understands the dearth of investments in baseload energy sources and the critical final-mile linkages in telecommunications infrastructure that afflict conflict and depressed areas. He should also understand why there have been substantial divestments in other critical sectors that impact on economic competitiveness. Philippines has the highest electricity rates in Asia c/o the neoliberal policies(Privatization, Deregulation, Trade liberalization, Contractualization, Globalization, etc) which started during Cory's time and of course due to the mothballing of the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant. We are always in the losing end in all of these Sovereign Guarantee contracts like the case in point to Ramos' PPA with IPPs. Who will invest if the electricity rates is high? Pang call center business na lang cguro. Industrialization will be a fleeting dream. Higher electricity rates would mean relocation of jobs to where it is cheaper. So more jobs you say? Expect higher toll fees, high MRT rates, higher electricity rates in a one sided contracts that will be freely given by Noy's economic managers. Baka magising na lang tayo, di na sa atin ang kalye, lahat na lang may toll fee. Public infrastructures, Public utilities should be under the domain of the Gov't for the public interests and not with the bottomline seeking private interests. Uutangin din naman ng mga foreign private companies na yan bakit hindi na lang gobyerno na mismo ang umutang at magkusa sa paggawa ng mga daan, power plants at iba pa. Ang problema ay ang mga Deregulations at Privatizations na mga batas na naisapasa ay pumipigil sa gobyerno na gawin ang nararapat. eg EPIRA law and the privatization of Transco and soon of the Napocor, Oil Deregulation and the consequent privatization of Petron, etc... But in all other sectors except Public infrastructures and utilities, I welcome Foreign Direct Investments. Philippines for Sale? They want charter change to allow full foreign ownership.

You too with that private-public partnership (PPP). Our governor who got elected two years ago by mistake introduced, just like in the Philippines, this private-public partnership (PPP) scam. Private companies are making plenty of money off the island government by getting juicy money making contracts or running certain services for the government. Thing is some of those services were done cheaper by the government. Also, some of the contracts are given to those that have friends in the government even though there contract bid was more expensive.
For example, they were going to fire all public school janitors to save money. Then after some protest they said they would replace them with a private company. Chances are those private companies would charge plenty and only do a couple of hours of clean up at the schools if any. These private companies involved in PPP only want to get involved in things that make money. If it is a branch of the island government which loses money they do not want anything to do with it. People have been protesting. The island government has been cutting public services and firing thousands of workers since they say there is no money. But then they turn around and hand the peoples money to these private companies who local radio commentators say also give campaign money to certain politicians. Has for jobs these PPP might create some low income jobs but that is about it. The governor firing all those people has hurt banks and private businesses who relied on government workers spending of there weekly check.

PNoy's 'Regulatory Risk' Compensation same as "Sovereign Guarantee"?
http://businessmirror.com.ph/home/opinion/...-in-translation Lost in translation? Sunday, 21 November 2010 20:00 J.A. de la Cruz / Coast-to-Coast IF P. Noy and his economic managers do not watch out, the government's efforts to accelerate the country's infrastructure development—woefully lagging behind our Asean neighbors, not to mention China and India over the past decade—may just suffer a big blow all because of a potential misreading of the Chief Executive's offer of compensation for "regulatory risk." It was, as they say, lost in translation. Just what did he really mean when he issued such an assurance? Proof that it was prone to misunderstanding was the seeming inability of his own Cabinet members to fully and responsibly explain what the guarantee (that word) was all about. All that Finance Secretary Cesar Purisima could say, after P. Noy issued that assurance, was that all the contracts would be studied carefully so there will be no additional burdens on the government. "Whatever are in the terms of the contract are respected," Purisima explained, "and if we bid this out properly, the chances that it will end up in court will be much less than in the past....If the terms of the contract say that rates should be increased by this time and it's not allowed, we step in…." Well, Purisima may be well-meaning and he may be right. But he cannot be all-knowing and his staff all too clean to be passed over, as it were, by a crafty and well-connected contractor. We have all witnessed similar situations before where well-meaning managers get enmeshed in the nitty-gritty of contracts, such as those being proferred under the PPP program that at the end of the day their honest mistakes and/or misjudgments get borne by poor taxpayers and consumers with no choice but to grin and bear it. In a word, the well-intentioned Finance chief cannot by any measure prevent anybody from questioning the terms of a government contract in court or bring this up for public scrutiny. And if that happens and the government steps in to save face, as it were, and compensate even just for a short period of time that the case remains unresolved, is that not eerily similar to the "sovereign guarantees" or some such "compensatory arrangements" issued in the past? Even Presidential Spokesman Edwin Lacierda could only offer an inchoate statement, saying "the granting of sovereign guarantee was precisely what the administration was trying to avoid in encouraging investors to come to the Philippines." But it was PCDSP Secretary Ricky Carandang's clarification which muddles the entire translation and only served to confirm what most people have feared since the Palace boys started explaining what P. Noy really meant. "A sovereign guarantee," Carandang intoned, "protects you from market risks and debts while protection from regulatory risks is like an insurance policy. For example, if the investor gets a temporary restraining order from the court because of a petition, the government can shoulder whatever will be lost under a specific contract… until such time that the case is pending, the government will have to pay what the company is supposed to be making… and once the case is resolved we can get back the money…." He further differentiates the two schemes thus: "a sovereign guarantee would entail payment of products or goods such as electricity without the company worrying whether it could sell everything or not…That is totally different because there is no risk involved at all because the company is guaranteed full payment even if the products are not sold. Here, it's different, if a company loses money, then it loses money…" and proceeded to insist that the protection from regulatory risks would involve the courts, local government units and the Legislature, among others. This argument is not only legally infirm; it is also a clear assault on accountability and the proper use of government funds. As one observer said, these guys are off their rockers and are not serving P. Noy and the Filipino people well. Do their explanations wash? In any event, let's see whether these guys'—especially Carandang's explanations—wash. Take the case of the South Luzon Expressway or any other tollway. The Supreme Court has decided that the TRB, the government body in charge of regulating our tollways, has the right to decide on the charges to be imposed on those roads. But the court also said it must go through hearings and consultations to arrive at such decisions. Obviously, given those guidelines it is very possible that every increase in the toll will not only be subjected to challenge before the TRB, but can also be elevated for decision to higher bodies, including the Office of the President and eventually the Supreme Court. It is also very possible that in the course of heated exchanges over such fees the Legislature comes out with a bill which revises the powers and duties of the TRB and provides for a different parameter for the determination and imposition of reasonable fees. In fine, at any given time in the life of its contract, the tollway operator can be subjected to challenge which can drag on for long periods of time. They will therefore be eligible for "regulatory risk" compensation. These may not cover the entire cost or expected revenue from the tollway for any given period. It may not even be called a "sovereign guarantee" or "take-or-pay." But still it is compensable based on an agreed rate using government funds. And if, by some quirk, the operator decides it is too much of a burden to continue with the project for the entire contract period of, say, 15 or 25 years even if it has only been in place for a year or so, what will prevent it from offering to bail out and asking for full payment using the "regulatory risk" compensation scheme? Nothing will prevent it and if we catch Carandang's brief, it will be fully compensated. It may not be called such, but as the critics say, this advisory smacks of the much reviled "guarantees" issued by past administrations such as the "take-or-pay" provisions for independent power producers (IPP) and the thrice-revised Metro Rail Transit (MRT) 3 BLT contract under the Ramos government which remains a huge burden to taxpayers up to now. The same tack will now apply to the rehabilitation and extension of the MRT 3 project which is part of the PPP portfolio. We note that the "operator" of the current MRT 3—the Sobrepeña group—the subject of many unresolved cases—has been reportedly bought by a group headed by PLDT chairman Manny Pangilinan. If the "regulatory risk" formula is applied on this case, it is very possible that government will end up "buying out" the remaining contract fees before it can negotiate and/or bid out the rehabilitation and extension portion. Remember, the MRT 3 BLT contract was not exactly an out and out "sovereign guarantee" scheme but a tricky, maybe even more disadvantageous, version of it. But we are biting the bullet up to now. And by the very nature of the entire enterprise, especially after the Development Bank of the Philippines and LandBank bought out the project bonds for $800 million without getting back the operating rights, it may be argued that the rehabilitation and extension project can very well be accorded a "regulatory risk" standing and open to compensation even before the bidding terms are drawn up. Why so? For the simple reason that no investor in his right mind will start looking into this new phase outside of the original arrangement made by Bob Sobrepeña and his group during the Ramos years. Otherwise, if that is not the starting point, the government will probably have to do the new project on its own and end up like the overpriced Light Rail Transit 1 and 2 system which it now hopes to bid out as part of the PPP plan. Indeed, if we all want this PPP program to proceed with all deliberate dispatch, P. Noy's economic managers—never mind his spokesmen—had better come around to cleaning up their act and come out with a definitive and responsible formula to pin down what they have euphemistically called "regulatory risk" compensation scheme. Short of that they should take House Minoity Leader Edcel Lagman's riposte to heart: "...while it is salutary to protect investors from regulatory risks...we should not be carried away and issue errant advisories....It is heretical for the President to assert that he will defy the Supreme Court decisions annulling or modifying contractual stipulations...even the Legislature does not pass laws that cannot be repealed or modified and consequently, the President cannot prevent Congress from legislating a new law as warranted by changing circumstances." They may not like Lagman's advise or even respect his position, but they have to take a second hard look at what he is saying as it carries the weight of experience and the sentiment of a people long suffering from those whose good intentions have gone astray. |

our leaders must have testicular fortitude this time to get a better piece of the bargain. we'd been subservient and fooled at for centuries already. with their decaying economies and yet awashed with fiat money, they have no place to go but in emerging markets in SEA to make a killing. absurdly the Philippines position as a debtor is under these circumstances a blessing in disguise, the government with a deficit and forced to create more debt (for the NFA perhaps), which is gobbled up by the billion and domestic companies taking the opportunity as well to lend and borrow. with more debt creation, inflation would be kept at bay (at least not to make too much of a good thing like the Japanese did, or combine it with other recklessness like the USA or China). actually forget that bit about government debt creation, the ideal would be the Philippines only borrowing the mininum and just kept on rolling all of its debt into longer maturities or even consols. it works better than any capital controls which wouldn't deter the determined speculator like Soros anyway, as it has been / is being tried by China and other SEA nations. then it might be auspicious to create the ASEAN bond scheme like Thaksin and Erle proposed, which would soak up the liquidity quite well. Either that or the not staying in subservience bit still has to be worked out with an exit strategy once the flood has passed, but noone can tell when will the printing stop And who knows, maybe Noynoy and his advisers are still holding too many dollar assets This post has been edited by matigasngulo: Nov 23 2010, 04:07 PM |

PPP: Daylight robbery Thursday, 25 November 2010 12:00 AM Jose Carlos L. Maningat "This is well and truly a celebration. Welcome, all of you, to the Daylight Summit." During last week's Infrastructure Philippines 2010 Summit, President Benigno "Noynoy" Aquino III delivered what were perhaps the sweetest assurances to profiteers in recent years. One, that investors in public-private partnerships (PPP) projects will be protected from regulatory risks arising from court orders and decisions. Two, that the government will readily spend its resources to pay the sponsor in case the courts, the legislature and other regulatory bodies get in the way of the private partners' profiteering. Anyone in his right state of mind will see that such obviously pro-business terms and conditions under PPP do not spell out partnership; it's puppetry. The Palace ties its hands, gives private sponsors the upper hand in fixing user's fees (forget about the so-called formula), and even vows to compensate whatever would be deemed as losses should the courts intervene. No rules, just guarantees. And that is at the expense of the tax-paying public. Which means that under Aquino's PPP, private contractors are already lottery winners ahead of the raffle draw. How could you be luckier than that? The proposed scheme gets even more alarming as the Supreme Court (SC) flashes a thumbs-up sign to Aquino's PPP policy. In a report, SC spokesperson Jose Midas Marquez said that the government can continue paying the investor for a disputed contract until the court decides against it. Pay now, nullify the project later. The high court won't mind if private contractors have already made milking cows out of every Filipino as long as it doesn't see the project as contrary to public interest. It can be remembered that when President introduced PPP during his first State of the Nation Address (SONA), he said that the government will not spend a single cent. "Hindi tayo gagastos, kikita pa tayo," as Aquino boasted in his speech. Yet apparently, it is the government which will shell out the first billions for the PPP projects. As a come-on, the Palace pledged to raise the seed capital to the tune of P200 billion to supposedly jump-start the PPP projects. The P200 billion capital, which is around 12 percent of the total national budget for next year and 61.5 percent of the projected P325-billion deficit by the yearend, will be pooled under the Philippine Infrastructure Development Fund (PIDF). The catch: it will be sourced from government financial institutions (GFIs) like the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), Land Bank of the Philippines and the Social Security System (SSS). In an instant, private contractors will gain access to GSIS and SSS funds and to depositor's money as well, thanks to Aquino's PPP. Through the PIDF, the government essentially puts up a nexus for the transfer of workers' pension and social security funds to private-led infrastructure projects. As to how the P200 billion will be returned to GFIs, that is obviously out of Aquino's concern. It is clear that the only guarantee he set out is on the unhampered profiteering of companies. Prior to the PPP summit, Aquino had in fact installed a fixed drainage pipe in the country's coffers that will pump money to private-led projects. When he signed Executive Order 8 which replaced the old Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) center with the PPP center, he actually made public to private transfer of funds easier. As presented by National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Sec. Cayetano Paderanga, Jr. in the PPP summit, the PPP center will "integrate effectively PPP into government's planning, programming and budgeting processes and policies." Such PPP integration into the budgeting process is best represented by the Project Development and Monitoring Facility (PDMF) fund which is at the disposal of the PPP center. Initially, the Aquino administration bankrolled PDMF with P300 million, which is on top of the P12.5-billion allocation in next year's budget specifically for PPP projects in 2011. All in all, government's initial counterpart funding for PPP would be at least P212.8 billion. Expectedly, this amount will be complemented by huge loans to be offered by the same multilateral creditors which attended the PPP summit: World Bank (WB), Asian Development Bank (ADB)), Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), and the International Finance Corporation (IFC). As WB representative Bert Hofman put it, "the idea is to guarantee the government's guarantee." This devious "idea" essentially puts more pressure to the country's ballooning budget deficit and bodes bigger debt payments by more generations of Filipinos through taxes. To make investors crave more for PPP, the Monetary Board has recently authorized a separate Single Borrower's Limit (SBL) of 25% of a bank's equity for lending specifically to PPP projects. A normal SBL refers to the Central Banks restriction of each bank's exposure to a single borrower to only 25% of its capital. On the other hand, a separate SBL permits banks to lend as much as 25% of its equity to a project Aquino's PPP as certified by NEDA. This will apply for three years. What does this mean? Such scheme will essentially drain more depositor's money from the banks to bankroll private-led projects. In simple terms, foreign and local investors would not be really using their own money at the end of the day. They will instead maraud the local banks and use the people's money to make the most out of the separate SBL. Indeed, when the government bargains this hard – to the extent of blatantly putting the corporation's profit motive above the public's interest – capitalist vampires are just too eager to rip everyone's pockets in a thousand creative ways. Welcome to PPP. Welcome to daylight robbery. |

Re: Garza…
While he was being interviewed on live television after Saturday's game, starting pitcher Matt Garza came out with a shaving cream pie, but it wasn't for Rizzo. It was for the camera filming him. Garza then took the headphones from Rizzo, said something inaudible and the interview was done.
Asked afterward if he was trying to protect Rizzo, who has been the subject of pre and postgame interviews every day this week, Garza gave a wink.
"A little bit," Garza said. "Get that guy out of the limelight a little bit. He's doing his thing. Just let him enjoy it. You only get to make a debut as a Cub one time. He's doing a great job producing and doing what he does. Let the guy enjoy it. He's going to be a great one. Let him enjoy it and there will be a lot of time in front of the camera."

The Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blend has been made famous by Margaret River, Western Australia. The varieties match exceptionally well, with Sauvignon Blanc lending its aroma and acid, while Semillon gives the wine its structure. It is also made in the Riverina, where the blend is generally riper and fuller in style. The best examples from Australia show gooseberries with nettles and sweet herbs, citrus zest and crunchy acidity.
Originally from France's Bordeaux, it is used for White Graves and Sauternes. In Graves, Sauvignon Blanc tends to be the majority of the blend whereas Semillon is dominant in Sauternes.

I am new to silk dyeing, but these dyes were very easy to use, not messy, and provided brilliant color and even saturation. (Was dyeing chiffon scarves for nuno felting.) Colors mixed well also. Would recommend to anyone!!!

So easy with very little to no wash out of excess wasted dye. I dyed some silk pajamas, a silk blouse, and silk scarves. All my dyeing came out even and in gorgeous colors. All I needed was an old enameled stock pot, some vinegar, and a new wooden paint stick. Easy. I used the #611 Vermillion for the pajamas - luscious woody raspberry color. Very happy with the results. Prewash the garment or fabric with synthrapol for best results.

Lovely dyes, very easy to use -- I've even done scarves with hot tap water in mason jars using this. The only con is that the colours come out a little light at times, especially on raw silk, but predying with grey or ecru to darken the fabric solves that.

Colors are easy to use, mix well when the shade I want isn't available, and work well to steam or handpaint. Acidity is key for getting the dyes to bond with the fabric, but washout happens in my silks, and some colors will run (RED), not with nylons tho. Colors are as shown on the website, DON'T go by the names.

I had a horrible experience with these dyes. Not so much that the dies didn't work, but that I was not informed that they didn't work on cotton. Be careful!

I am just beginning my journey with dyes. I dyed a bunch of swatches of fabrics in the washer to see what would happen, and I was delighted how brilliantly this dyed spandex and silk. Did not work on cotton (as expected, but sometimes you just need to see something to believe it).

I put it in the washer with the silk and washed. It came out great! The color was fabulous. I haven't washed the item yet, but it looks good.

ROCKINGHAM — All the rust which appeared to bother Richmond the night before, vanished into thin air in the span of 24 hours.
The Raiders had all 11 players crack the scoring column and limited their opponents to single digits in the first three quarters to cruise to a 79-32 victory over Southeastern Conference rival Scotland Tuesday night.
Shydamion Ellerbe recorded a double-double, 12 points and 10 rebounds, despite sitting out the fourth quarter. Kendo Wallace and Greg Patterson each matched Ellerbe's point total off the bench, while Jordan Richardson knocked in 10.
"So much for all that rust," Richmond coach David Laton said. "I thought we had some guys come off the bench and play really well for us."
Laton praised his team's defensive effort, holding the Fighting Scots to 21 points through three quarters.
"Nobody for them got into double-figures," Laton said. "And we were able to hold them to single digits in three quarters. That's not bad."
The Raiders improve to 14-4 on the season and 4-1 in conference action with their third consecutive victory and fifth in a row in the series against their rivals. The Fighting Scots drop to 1-12 overall and 1-3 in the SEC.
After defeating Pinecrest on Monday and Scotland this week, Richmond can now turn its focus to the league leaders — Hoke County. Earlier this month, Hoke handed Richmond its lone conference loss, 80-72. The Bucks are 4-0 in SEC play following their 67-52 win over the Patriots Tuesday against the Patriots.
"Lefty Driesell used to say, 'the next game is the biggest game, until the next game, then that becomes the biggest,'" Laton said. "But it really is going to be the biggest game of the season for us.
"I always expect to win every game and I expect to win Friday night and be tied with them in the conference. If you are a coach or a player and don't expect to win, then why are you out here. We have that old 'mo' (momentum) right now and that's a good thing."
Richmond will face Hoke 7:30 p.m. Friday at Raeford.

May 18th, 2013
Hi, folks. It's been a while since I properly updated. For the most part, I've been burying myself in this record and ignoring almost everything else. It's the only way I know how to make things sometimes, putting myself into that little bubble. So I haven't been keeping up with e-mails very well, nor updating my sites or editing tutorials or any of that stuff. It's just been rehearsals to get the band together for shows and recording. And my usual sleep troubles whenever I do this.
But leading up to this, I went through the process of converting my garage into a recording space. I live with one of my brothers, and we moved into a place with a two-car garage middle of last year. As soon as I could I started the process of sound proofing part of it, mainly so I could have a place to record drums. For the past 12 years (holy crap ... I'm getting old), I've always done drums for albums at my friend's houses. They were always cool about it, but I've still never liked having to take up other people's space and time to do it. It also slowed the recording process down a lot. I'd often have to wait a few days to a week to lay down certain parts of songs, which can be frustrating both creatively and for meeting deadlines. But that's all different now. I can track drums in my garage, and between this space and the shed, I can do everything I need to do on my own schedule now. It's kinda hard to explain how exciting this is for me. I can't tell you how freeing it is for me.
So The Branches is really getting close. I've been shaping the material for a long time, but there's always something that happens during the process where it all clicks. It changes from "I think this is the record I'm making" to "I know exactly what record I am making." And once it solidifies like that, it's always really exciting for me. I suddenly know how to finish all the songs, and how they will slot together, and what they all mean in the larger context. I had that light bulb moment a few days, so I've been pretty elated these past few days.
Also, since I am getting close to done, I can have proper news concerning a release and some shows. The record will come out in Fall (likely early October), and I've booked a small European tour for November. I will also be doing a two-week run in the US, which is being finalized now. I'm trying to keep everything at two weeks so I don't burn out. And the idea is to just do them a bit more frequently and cover different territories with each outing. So I'm only playing 4 countries this trip in November, but I plan to come back in Spring and play some of the places I missed. So if I'm not reaching you on this run, I will try to on the next.
Also, I will have more people to play with me this time. I recently added a bass player, and for the Europe tour I will also have a viola da gamba player with me (he plays on the new album as well). So it'll be fun to see where the arrangements go now that I'll have more folks helping out. I'll write more about that as rehearsals get further along.
Anywho, the dates are up on the "shows" tab now, and on my facebook page. So if you have any interest in coming out, those will be the places to check for dates.
Now, Clone will also be coming out this summer. If it kills me. Hahaha. There have been tons of weird hurdles with this project, and I may have to scale some of the release ideas back in order to get it out. I'm running into those "there's only so much time in a day" kind of hurdles. But it's gonna happen one way or another. So more on that soon as I figure it out.
I have more to say, but my food's getting cold. I hope everyone is well.

Discoveries ›NARSAD Young Investigator Makes Discovery That Opens Entire New Field of Study in Brain and Behavior Research
Earlier this month Stephanie Bissiere, Ph.D., and a team of researchers at UCLA successfully made a "long-shot" discovery about the behavioral relevance for electrical communication and gap junctions in the adult brain.
The team found that blocking electrical synapses, which couple inhibitory neurons and enable them to synchronize their firing, can prevent fear memories to a place or context from forming. This new discovery has major implications for new treatment targets for PTSD and other anxiety disorders.
The formation of fear memories is the major cause of anxiety disorders and this discovery could present a new target for treatment, even after a frightening experience occurs. "When you have PTSD or anxiety your brain encodes a contextual memory of where the trauma took place in," Dr. Bissiere explained. "Blocking electrical synapse communication directly in the hippocampus of rats blocked the imposition of the fear in that place."
Dr. Bissiere is exploring relatively unchartered territory in the mammalian brain. In comparison to electrical communication in the brain, chemical communication (that uses the release of neurotransmitters like dopamine or serotonin) is more commonly the focus of research. Chemical communication was discovered first, and more advances in this field have been made compared to electrical communication, which have been difficult to study without the recent technological advances.
"This is a refreshing finding that has been overlooked," Dr. Bissiere said. "This specific discovery is encouraging because it opens up an entire new field of study."
And with the help of a NARSAD 2010 Young Investigator grant, Dr. Bissiere will be one of the scientists leading research in this new area of interest.
"The NARSAD Young Investigator grant is going to allow me to look at the electrical synapses and gap junctions in the amygdala, the center of the brain's fear circuitry - an area involved in all major psychiatric disorders," Dr. Bissiere said. "This is really exciting. NARSAD will help me to unravel the contribution of electrical communication in the brain to anxiety disorders in general. And hopefully this will attract new collaborators to the field because I can't do all of the work myself.
"Discoveries like this show that not everything has been discovered. The brain is complex in many ways. This kind of discovery brings hope because just when we think we are running short of targets for treatment, we say, 'Oh wow! Maybe we can go that way now!'"
Click here to read an announcement about this discovery.
Article comments
In reading this article I understand how blocking the synapses would control the fear. But what about the other pleasureable moods like love. Would this not interfer also with the individuals personal life. Causing apathy. This is something to be considered. With the medications that are on the market today. Like Lexpro, Effexor, Prozac and several others.

neg rep
post01-01-2013 10:37 PMVerminThread:Why doesn't infraction lead to decreased Rep power?
PMWhat a sore little bitch. Who give a **** but you ya idiot?
Maybe you'll get some more rep for clowning on me...you are a clown
Pathetic little bitch. You know how many positives I get from clowning your ass? You are not nearly as liked as you may think you are. Take a step out of utah, people like you get eaten alive in the real world homie...eaten alive.
Its apparant isnt it? You have a hard on for me and its all good except I do have high standards.
To clarify since you are a bit of a mental midget, I signed my name as Verlin..no one else. It was also three years ago!!!! LOL. A wonderful life would be a different movie with you staring in it.
Since we are playing this game here are few from you.
maybe you're stupid, ever think of that?Postyou make this site worse, and probably the lives of the people around you in real life.
Anyways have a great day today Gameface. I mean it.I have no idea if my blow up on vermin played into this, as I specifically challenged him to a rep war, but the little ****er called someone else's post stupid, when it wasn't, and isn't he the little bitch who went around signing other people's names to neg reps when rep was anon? He sent me a neg singed Vinylone right after Vinylone sent me a pos (me and vinyl were bros, sort of). So, forgive me if I have a poor opinion of the little rat. I negged him for calling someone stupid and he retaliated. I posted a public statement telling him if he wanted to play rep games I was red to go. That's just how I roll.
Box, Vermin, Verlin and Mookie Biznitch.

Top 10 Reasons Why Big Ben Is Better Than Eli Manning
This week, Steelers Today was asked to be the guest blogger on the AOL NFL Fanhouse. When that article is posted on their site, you will be able to see it here.
In the meantime, one of their questions got me thinking. They asked me who I'd rather have quarterbacking my team, Ben Roethlisberger or Eli Manning. I answered unequivocally and without hesitation, "Big Ben". Heck, if Eli's last name weren't Manning, I don't think he would have been drafted as high as he was. But that's just my opinion.
Based on their question, I decided to expound upon my answer and list my top 10 reasons why Ben Roethlisberger is better than Eli Manning. Enjoy:
#10) "Big Ben" has a cooler nickname. In fact, I don't think Eli even has a nickname. "Little Peyton" maybe? Advantage: Roethlisberger.
#9) Big Ben is bigger. Eli Manning is 6'4″, and weighs 225 lbs. Big Ben is 6'5″ and 241 lbs. This is his slimmed down size. He used to play at about 255 lbs., but he made the conscious decision to play at a lighter weight. Advantage Roethlisberger.
#8) Big Ben is Stronger. Ben Roethlisberger has one of the strongest arms of any quarterback in the NFL. Apparently some scouts have a test they have quarterbacks do wherein the QB has to throw the ball while on his knees. One NFL scout wrote that he saw Ben Roethlisberger throw the ball farther than he had seen just about any other QB throw the ball while on his knees. Sure, NFL quarterbacks don't often throw the ball from their knees, but it was an interesting observation nonetheless.
Big Ben's strength also lets him maintain his balance and complete passes while defenders are draped all over him. Just look at the pass that he completed to Hines Ward this year against the Jacksonville Jaguars. There were two defenders trying to drag Roethlisberger to the ground, but he still completed the pass. Eli Manning just isn't strong enough to do that. Advantage: Roethlisberger.
#7) Big Ben is faster. Not only is Roethlisberger bigger and stronger than Eli Manning, he's also faster. Roethlisberger uses his speed to scramble and escape defenders. He can either buy time to find his receivers, or he can take off and gain yardage running.
Ben's superior speed gives him a big advantage versus Eli Manning in gaining rushing yards. In 2007, Ben Roethlisberger rushed for 204 yards. Eli Manning has rushed for 213 total yards during his entire career. Advantage: Roethlisberger.
#6) Roethlisberger has more wins. The ultimate measure of a QB is not how many 300 yard passing performances he has. The true measure of a quarterback is how often he wins. Dan Marino threw for more yards, but Joe Montana has more rings. Dan Fouts threw for more yards, but Terry Bradshaw has more wins. Peyton Manning has thrown for more yards, but Tom Brady has more rings. Which QB in each pair is remembered as being the best? See my point? No matter what era you look at, wins are what matter. When it all comes down to it, winning is the ultimate measure of a QB. It's like Al Davis once said; "Just win, baby!"
Both Quarterbacks have one super bowl ring in their young careers, so there is no difference in that area. However, when we look at total wins, Ben Roethlisberger has a significant advantage. Ben Roethlisberger has accumulated 45 NFL wins, and a winning percentage of 72.6%. Eli Manning has accumulated 36 NFL wins, and a winning percentage of 57.1%. Advantage: Roethlisberger.
#5) Big Ben dates hotter chicks. Eli Manning recently married his college sweetheart, Abby McGrew.
Roethlisberger is still a bachelor, but he has had very public relationships with golfer Natalie Gulbis and actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler (aka Meadow Soprano).
I commend Manning for his commitment to his long-time girlfriend, but I don't think there's much doubt that this round goes to Big Ben. Advantage: Roethlisberger.
#4) Roethlisberger has been to more Pro Bowls. Eli Manning has never been named to a Pro Bowl. Meanwhile, Big Ben made the Pro Bowl last year, and is on his way to making it again this year. Advantage: Roethlisberger.
#3) Roethlisberger has thrown fewer interceptions. Eli Manning has thrown 68 career interceptions. Big Ben has thrown only 57. If not for that terrible 2006 season in which Roethlisberger practically led the league in interceptions with 23, the difference would be far more glaring. Coach Bill Cowher allowed Big Ben to come back much too quickly in 2006 following a motorcycle accident and an emergency appendectomy, and Ben's performance suffered because of it. Outside of that one terrible season, Roethlisberger has never thrown more than 11 interceptions in a season. Contrarily, Manning has exceeded 15 interceptions on 3 separate occasions. Advantage: Roethlisberger.
#2) Roethlisberger has thrown for more yardage. This statistic is most surprising, since Roethlisberger has always played in a run-oriented offense in which he was often thought of as a mere caretaker. Big Ben has thrown for 12,836 yards versus 12,774 yards for Eli Manning. This disparity is most surprising since Manning has over 400 more pass attempts than Roethlisberger. Advantage: Roethlisberger.
#1) Big Ben has a higher career QB rating. Ben Roethlisberger has a career quarterback rating of 93.0. Eli Manning's career QB rating is 74.9. The two quarterbacks entered the NFL during the same season, and Big Ben has had a better QB rating in each season except for the aforementioned 2006 season in which Roethlisberger threw more than twice as many interceptions as he has averaged for his career. In that season, their QB ratings were practically identical, though Manning edged Roethlisberger slightly (Manning=77.0 vs. Roethlisberger=75.4). In fact, Roethlisberger's WORST single season QB rating (75.4) is higher than Manning's career average (74.9). Last year, Roethlisberger's QB rating was a full 30 points higher than Eli Manning's (104.1 versus 73.9). Despite Eli winning the Superbowl, Roethlisberger had a far better season. Advantage: Roethlisberger.
So, as you can see, when we do a head-to-head comparison of Eli Manning versus Ben Roethlisberger, Big Ben wins in a knockout. If Giants fans are honest, I'm sure that they'd admit that the Steelers got the better deal in Roethlisberger. Particularly when you consider that the Giants also traded away a draft pick that ended up being Shawn Merriman in order to get Eli. There is little doubt in my mind that if the Giants could take a mulligan on their 2004 draft, they'd choose Ben Roethlisberger over Eli Manning.

There are currently no upcoming student recitals scheduled.
Chamichian Hall is the principal venue for student recitals in the Music Building. Use of the Recital Hall, in rare occasions, may be granted by special request to the SOM Faculty Council. This does not apply to organ and percussion students who may give recitals in the Recital Hall for instrumentation purposes.
Recitals required by degree programs will occur during the fall and spring semesters. Exceptions to this must be granted through petition to the SOM Faculty Council.
Performance dates and times in Chamichian Hall should follow the general pattern of Friday at 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m., 3 p.m., 5 p.m. and 7 p.m.
All recitalists must play recital music for a faculty jury no less than three weeks prior to their intended performance. Recital date requests will be cancelled if recitalists fail to meet this requirement, or do not pass the jury.
All recitals performed in university facilities, or which imply department sponsorship (e.g. logo and/or university name), must be juried.
Program information must be submitted to the music office secretary promptly after passing the jury. Microsoft Word is the preferred choice, either through an e-mail attachment to Antoinette Tucker. Format instructions are included in the Student Recital Jury Form.
The School of Music will produce and print 50 programs for student recitals, and will print and post eight (8) posters one week prior to each recital in the standard SOM poster template. Additionally, student recitals will be publicized on the SOM web site and through weekly event listings sent via e-mail. The recital recording fee is $35.00.
Rehearsal dates cannot be scheduled until you have submitted a complete Student Recital Jury Form. Recitalists may have a maximum of two (2) two-hour rehearsals in preparation for performances in Chamichian Hall; these rehearsals must be scheduled in advance with either John Jacobson, music events director, or Antoinette Tucker in the music office.
The SOM will not provide staffing for rehearsals and student recitals in Chamichian Hall (other than an audio technician, if requested). Recitalists and the faculty sponsor must arrange for all ushering and stagehand services. One person in the lobby and one person backstage will normally suffice. Specific questions regarding staging/ushers should be directed to the Performance Hall Manager.
Chamichian Hall seats 108 patrons. Space for wheelchairs can be made available with seven day's notice to the Performance Hall Manager. Under no circumstances may audience members sit in the aisles or on the stage.
Recording equipment (video tripods, cameras) used during the performance must not detract from anyone's enjoyment of the recital. It should not block aisles or exits, or deny anyone seating space. Power cords that cross walkways must be taped down to minimize any tripping hazard.
It is the goal of the Audio Production Manager to provide the highest quality recording and audio support services to the faculty and students of the School of Music. This mission involves working creatively with faculty and students to support their artistic development, while providing them with exposure to the audio technology and practices they will encounter in their careers. Priority will be given to supporting the educational activities at the School of Music.
You can reach Scott Burgess, Audio Production Manager, at extension 2045, or at firstname.lastname@example.com, or come to room 293. Please send maintenance requests to email@example.com.

On Monday, the New York Times reported about the effort by Palestinians to have the village of Battir designated as a World Heritage site because of the unique ecological nature of the ancient terraced irrigation system at work there. The terraces might be endangered by the construction of Israel's security fence that in the area runs right along the 1949 armistice lines. While it is not clear that the barrier would actually damage the area, ironically the greatest obstacle to the designation of the site by UNESCO is that the Palestinians are also seeking to get the same honor for the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.
But as bloggers Elli Fischer and Yisrael Medad have pointed out, the problem with the article isn't so much its acceptance of the Palestinian argument against putting the fence there (which is also ironic because Israel's critics have objected when the barrier was placed anywhere but at the old green line), but that it completely ignored the Jewish heritage of the area. Battir is not just a Palestinian village with an old irrigation system but was the site of the ancient Jewish fortress of Betar, the site of the last organized resistance to Roman rule in 135 C.E. during the Bar Kochba revolt. Moreover, far from the irrigation system being, as the Times claimed, a remnant of the Roman presence, it predates their presence in the country and is clearly the product of biblical-era Jewish settlement. As Medad put it, "Romans, Shmomans."
