Coen Brothers Mop up at Cinephile Society Awards
Even though I've never heard of the International Cinephile Society I thought I'd report on the outcome of their 2009 awards since A Serious Man won their Best Film prize. They also won in the directing and original screenplay categories. The "ICS" was formed in 2003 and is made up of 60 journalists, scholars, and historians. Blah, blah. All I know is they have good taste.

True Grit
Monday, January 3, 2011 at 12:41AM
One of the great parts of seeing a film with a group of friends is the immediate post-viewing moment: the slow uncertain march to the exit and the emergence into the light of the lobby where opinions can be expressed. Certain films evoke more uncertainty than others at that moment. "Was it good? Was it bad? What will the others think if I take one stance or the other?" That's exactly how I felt leaving True Grit.
Those feelings were mostly due to the fact that I had organized the outing, and that I had even waited for an hour at the SoHo Mac store a week before to hear the Coen brothers speak about the film. The film was, in many ways, strictly a Western, and I felt that the directors stuck close to the Charles Portis' novel. That's a bold thing to say, as I haven't read True Grit, but I have read The Dog of the South, and I could recognize the Portis' humor, dialogue, and plot structure coming through in the film. Standing in the lobby afterwards next to an amazing life-size cutout of Nic Cage's head, my friends admitted that they expected more, and didn't really get the film. I gave weak, evasive responses because I wasn't really sure how I felt about the film, which was probably the best thing to do at the time.
Later that night the film returned to my mind, and I felt myself appreciating it and the Coens' approach more and more. It didn't have multiple dream dimensions or a ubiquitous social networking platform at its disposal (note: I liked both of those films), and I liked that fact. I really enjoyed how the film stuck to the genre and the book. This not so coincidentally matches the conclusion I came to after leaving the Coen brother's Q&A at the Apple store.
Basically the entire time they were onstage with the very John Waters' looking Peter Travers from Rolling Stone, they kept an extremely low profile. This was a little perplexing at first, and I wondered if they felt that they were too cool for the Mac fan boy setting. You could tell that the audience wanted artistic rants—the "meanings" behind their films, how their personal histories intersect with the films, how the magic happens, etc. But the Coens imparted that there really isn't any magic behind the films, that they just wanted to make films and get films done, that the pay was good and it was interesting work. I think at one point they likened their jobs to any other jobs, like "accountants." The one question that really seemed to perk them up was, fittingly, a technical one regarding film choice.
This approach was evident in True Grit. The assembled great actors, found breathtaking locations, and re-imagined the Portis novel while giving it the credit it deserved. Said and done.
Maybe it's just living in New York City and missing the West, but True Grit did exactly what I wanted to: it took me away from the city and into another time and place. Later that night, after the credits had rolled and the impressions were revealed, I thought back to the anachronistic dialogue, straight-forward revenge plot, and particularly the imagery of the night-ride sequence after Mattie gets bit by the snake, and I appreciated it all in a very true-to-heart movie experience kind of way.

Exit Strategy
Saturday, January 1, 2011 at 9:12PM
Squarespace has been a nice home for over a year. It was like renting one of those new high-rise apartments with Centre somewhere in the name–easy and fast. But after some time I felt constrained, and I wanted to purchase a cheap lot where I could build my own eccentric mansion and do what I want, like buy a dirtbike and ride it in the backyard, or tend an organic garden. So lately I've been slogging through lots of HTML /CSS and a little bit of readymade JavaScript and PHP (everyone goes to IKEA now and then), slowly building a new site.
The catalyst for changing from Squarespace came when I tried to add a "mini art site" that I created way too late one night to my existing site. Perhaps I missed something and it is actually easy to do this, but I tried to wipe the CSS from a new blank HTML page to implement the mini site, and proceeded to clear all styling from my entire site. I then couldn't find a way to reset the CSS to what was previously in place, and I spent the next hour redoing my site design. The user interface that made it quick and easy for me to set up my site became at that point a huge barrier.
There were also a few other factors, like the lack of an easy e-commerce solution on Squarespace, and also the enticing $4-5 price tags at other hosting sites. I like the idea of green hosting, although it seems that there's some ambiguity with that industry and perhaps that's a blog post for later.
I've learned a few things through the process of building a new site from scratch. First and foremost, Squarespace makes it really easy to have a functional, clean blog embedded in your site. It takes a good deal of PHP/MySQL skills to create a custom blog, and even a bit of PHP knowledge to embed a WordPress blog into a site. One good thing is that Squarespace offers the ability to dump the content of your blog into a Moveable Type file (available in the Config section of the blog page), which you can then easily migrate to WordPress. Post content, titles, tags, and comments are all there after the migration–obviously images are not, which is a pain for me as my blog is very image based. Once you have the content and images into WordPress, you can then link to the new blog from your site, or follow instructions like these to modify WordPress php files and embed the blog into your new site.
For those with photography/art sites, Squarespace also makes it easy to upload images into galleries with nice thumbnails and that fancy lightbox effect. That was one of the major selling points for me. However, if you have some knowledge of HTML/CSS and Photoshop, it's fairly easy to recreate that exact setup. Setting up the "gallery" page templates and batch processing the images in Photoshop are the major hurdles. Once the thumbnails are in place, you can set that nice hover effect using this bit of CSS:
{opacity:0.7; filter:alpha(opacity=40);}
If this is all new to you, W3Schools have some great pages on image galleries and image opacity.
The actual lightbox effect is free and really easy to implement. You can pick up all of the necessary JavaScript and CSS here, and then it's just a matter of positioning the files in the correct spot in your site directory. The generous creator of the effect also offers step-by-step directions. One word of advise: be careful to place the included gif files in the right location in your directory, otherwise you won't get the nice loading effect, gallery navigation, and the "close" option.
I'm sure there are a few other aspects of Squarespace that I'll miss, for instance the web analytics. But I would encourage those with suitable sites to make the transition–it will teach you some coding skills that may benefit you in the future.

Bowery Mural Continued
Friday, November 26, 2010 at 10:33PM
The mural at Bowery & Houston is in the midst of another transformation. Gone is the impressive Twist piece that replaced the abused Shepard Fairey installment. Kenny Scharf in next in line–the beginnings of his work were up by nightfall just before Thanksgiving. I had not heard of Scharf before, but his website shows many decades of interesting work. Catch it if you can!

Albums & Photography
Wednesday, November 17, 2010 at 11:52PM
Boards of Canada – Music Has the Right to Children
One of my favorites, this one was with me on a roadtrip through the U.S. that created the same kind of memories and nostalgia that loom throughout the album. The lo-fi retro image just makes sense, as does the eery faceless family–the nostalgia in this album can belong to anyone.
Deerhunter – Halcyon Digest
Another album that deals with nostalgia, Deerhunter's latest came with this arresting image. A mysterious, uncanny shot, it reminds me for some reason of this barn next to one of my childhood homes. I was always frightened by that barn.
Hüsker Dü – Zen Arcade
This appears to be a photograph that was colored over, at least I believe. It's sad to say that I don't really know how this was done in pre-Photoshop days. But I know it's badass and fits with the inspirational, DIY, Rust Belt aesthetic that Hüsker Dü so effortlessly embodied. Effortlessly because it was real, before this postmodern web 2.0 authenticity crisis we're currently enduring.
The Fiery Furnaces – Widow City
"Hi, I'm Eleanor. I'm on the front cover of this album, and my brother is on the back. Because that just made sense." I concur.
Scissor Sisters – Night Work
Before a life-size poster of this album cover was posted around the corner from my work, I didn't know that much about the Scissor Sisters, and admittedly I still don't know that much about them. But it's clear that they don't pussyfoot around, and I can respect that.
The Soft Boys – Underwater Moonlight
Being a fan of jetties and sunsets (I grew up in Southern California) as well as Ralph Eugene Meatyard, I think this cover is pretty cool. This is also a tremendous album.
Sunset Rubdown – Dragonslayer
When I was 15, I traveled with a friend's family up to Lake Tahoe for a snowboarding trip. We took the 395 up the state and passed through the Mojave along the way. I remember being on the two lane highway in the middle of the desert and seeing these tiny settlements with 2-3 houses surrounded my derelict cars, buses, and trailers. The inhabitants of these settlements had constructed strange "sculptures" made out of junk–mannequins, life preserver rings, taxidermied animals, you name it. It was either creepy outsider art or the product of terrifying inbred insanity. These sculptures left a vivid impression on me, and this album cover reminded me of them. This is an epic album too. As my friend Nick said, "he's really outdone himself this time."
U2 – Achtung Baby
This is a cool collection of photographs with great colors–I can picture it sitting on a table in my dad's place in the 90s, although I'm not sure if that actually ever occured (he was fonder of early U2). I like that, in the midst of this spattering of pastoral/urban/European/North African? images, Bono is of course mugging for the camera. If he's not looking dark and pensive in grainy B&W, then he's looking dapper as he enters the savannah.
More importantly, and keeping with my brief California highway theme, have you ever listened to the first two tracks on this album while speeding down the 5? Well then, my friend, you haven't lived.
Yo La Tengo – And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-out
I recently walked into my favorite coffee shop around the corner and saw that they had switched the photography on their walls. The new images explored the suburban night theme, and I was reminded of this cover. Suburbia in the evening can be very otherwordly. I like the blue hour aspect of this image, and off to the right (the image wraps around) there's a young man being abducted–another theme I enjoy. This is one of Yo La Tengo's many strong albums. I Can Hear the Heat Beating as One is the de facto soundtrack to my long-standing relationship, and I listened to Summer Sun–specifically Season of the Shark–for years everytime I drove to Bolinas to go suring, as a sort of happy-go-lucky death march tune. Tiny Birds is also an incredible track.
Big Bear – Doin Thangs
It's affluent bears doin thangs in robes. Not much to say here except amazing.

Technologies of the Self
Sunday, November 7, 2010 at 4:36PM
Every power relationship implies, at least in potentia, a strategy of struggle, in which the two forces are not superimposed, do not lose their specific nature, or do not finally become confused.
Of course, from behind the screen the usual answer, "I prefer not to," was sure to come; and then, how could a human creature, with the common infirmities of our nature, refrain from bitterly exclaiming upon such perverseness — such unreasonableness. However, every added repulse of this sort which I received only tended to lessen the probability of my repeating the inadvertence.
–From Bartleby the Scrivener, by Herman Melville
Man is something that should be overcome. What have you done to overcome him?
– Nietzsche
My current job demands a level of familiarity with technology on both practical and intellectual levels. I work for a professional computing publisher, where I manage the improvement and maintenance of the company's system and the launch of hundreds of computing-focused titles. Through the course of my work, I have had a number of realizations regarding the current and future role of technology and capitalism in human affairs. These realizations connect in many ways to the my readings of major philosophers and writers, in particular, Michel Foucault, Herman Melville, and Friedrich Nietzsche.
When I was hired, I was told that the goal of my position was not the mastery of the work detailed on the job description, but more so the creation of a system or clustered technologies that would perform those functions. In effect, the reason I was hired into the position was to, over time, make my position obsolete. I continue to enjoy this challenge, and have made much progress in replacing the former me. I felt that it was a unique mission when I was brought aboard. Yet, at a certain point, I began to wonder how unique of a mission it actually was. In this era of late capitalism, of knowledge workers and the paperless office, how many other individuals are creating technology to replace themselves? And, more importantly, what does this mean in a historical and philosophical sense?
During the last few months I have been moving through a compendium of Foucault's writings. Foucault's concept of power is somehow both obvious and groundbreaking, radical. He shows that where there is power, there is a power relationship. Power flows between two opposing forces. Even when it appears that one force has all of the power, the reality is that both forces have power–even if it's only the freedom of escape, or the power of refusal.
The protagonist in Melville's Bartleby, the Scrivener provides an example of a seemingly powerless actor in a well defined power relationship. Bartleby, a low-level employee of a law firm, appears to have no power: he is cornered in a cubicle, his only window revealing a brick wall, always at the beck and call of his supervisor. His job entails only the most mechanical, drone-like of duties, such as the transcription by hand of court documents. It is also revealed that Bartleby has no home, and remains after closing hours to sleep at the office. Weak, forlorn-looking, Bartleby is the prototypical oppressed office worker.
However, it is through his unwavering refusal to do work that Bartleby exerts his power. Bartleby "prefers" not to follow orders, he "prefers" not to have his own residence, and he ultimately "prefers" not to eat. These actions, while obviously passive, run head-on with the capitalist structure which he inhabits. Bartleby brings resistance to the rigid office hierarchy, distorted domesticity to the cold world of the commercial sector, and a refusal to nurture the body that is essentially a gear in the capitalist machine. He shakes things up, a passive agitator. This peculiar and radical behavior confounds his supervisor, also the story's narrator, who ultimately undergoes a transformation of sorts. The supervisor begins as someone obsessed with status and the trivialities of work on Wall St. In the end, he is haunted by the downfall and eventual death of his strange underling, bringing a very human element to his otherwise superficial existence. Through his actions Bartleby reveals the fragility of capitalism—it is, after all, dependent its subjects continuing to "buy into" the game, whether out of fear, greed, or apathy.
Melville's novella was published back in the mid-nineteenth century, but its radical undertone is still relevant today. This leads to the question: where are the Bartlebys of of the 21st century? And that question leads back to a realization I experienced at my current job. It could be said that most of the Bartleby's of today have been replaced by technology–applications, systems, "business intelligence." Sure there are many people still performing routine tasks, stuck in shabby cubicles, with windows facing directly into walls, and with micromanaging bosses. But those people are rapidly being replaced. Lower-level office workers are no longer needed to copy and paste data–system interfaces do it for them. Businesses no longer need middle managers to digest the work of lower-level employees–reporting services and data mining offer more robust ways of handling the same work.
It's true that much of this "Bartleby-type" work is miserable. No one likes copying and pasting data all day. But, if viewed through the scope of Foucault and Melville's novella, what does it mean when technology rapidly replaces the work of humans? Technology does not have the power to refuse, or the freedom to escape. It's the ultimate slave–an application cannot "prefer" not to perform a task, it either performs the task perfectly, or reveals a bug which is then corrected in the code. This replacement of human workers with technology in effect helps to speed up and smooth out the functioning of global capitalism. As more workers like myself improve business productivity by leveraging IT, we in effect help to remove power relationships that once existed between workers and corporations, subjects and institutions.
The transformation of the human or "real" into technology or "virtual" is taking place on a much larger scale than the corporate office. In the last twenty years, both individuals and corporations have transformed. In terms of the former, a large portion of the social interaction and self-identification that once occurred in the real world now exists in online social networks like Facebook. People shed identities over time, leaving virtual skins in the form of long-neglected social networking profiles. People live and people die online. Moreover, all of our personal information–medical profiles, financial histories, tastes and preferences–reside in databases. Our lives are stored, analyzed, and data-warehoused. This trend will continue, especially as mobile technology allows for the dominance of not just the home and office, but all the time and space that construct our lives.
It is obvious that corporations have also experienced a transformation from real to virtual. Using the company I work for as a case example, books move through the virtual machine line of the system until a final product is printed and released into the market. This product is represented by data in another system, where customers purchase the product using financial data stored in yet another system, and so on. Now with the replacement of the physical book with the ebook, it is really just data and text moving from concept to (virtual) reality, from the idea in the author's head to the Kindle page on Amazon.com. This is the process that new workers like myself are creating and perfecting.
I must pause to admit that this is an exciting process, and I take pleasure in being a part of this rapid transformation of both a particular industry (publishing) and modern life in general. Most days I march into work looking forward to learning more about systems and emerging technologies, to replacing my old job, the old me. This purpose of this piece, though, is to take a moment to ask where it's all going.
The disconcerting part is that these processes seem to form a seamless loop. As more workers replace themselves with technology, they help to squash preexisting power relationships between the worker and the corporation. This pushes technology–as well as predatory capitalism in the form of advertisements, marketing data mining, etc.–further, and with increasing effectiveness, into the lives of individuals.
The problem with the interrogation of technology in this sense is that the discussion of the nature of capitalism looms over the debate–it is the elephant in the room. A great deal of good has come from technology's emergence in various institutions–businesses offer better products, doctors are able to identify and treat diseases in new ways, and the military…well not much good there, except for perhaps protecting soldiers at war, but that would assume those soldiers should be there in the first place. No doubt capitalism has played an immense role in this emergence–providing the capital to develop technologies and the channels to distribute them to individuals. If one looks at the emergence of the PC–perhaps the defining moment in the history of modern computing–it was corporations like AT&T, Apple, Microsoft, and Intel that were creating the revolution.
However, for as much as capitalism gives, it takes. Forced obsolescence, targeted ads based on email content, trends as data sold to marketing firms, these are all part of the game. Technology enables a light speed barrage of marketing messages. The best example might be viral marketing. Bloggers often talk about the death of authenticity–in the world of web 2.0, it becomes extremely hard to decipher what is real and authentic and what is the marketing carbon copy. It lends itself to the conclusion, "Does it really matter?" This fits with the postmodern concept of not being able to step outside of a dominant ideology like global capitalism. This is true–you're not going to be able to pierce the veil of capitalism, especially when no one knows what's on the other side, what's next.
A great case study might be biotechnology. Much good can come from technological advances in the realm, for humans, the environment, and the planet in general. However, there is a great potential for harm as well. As technology increases at a breakneck speed, capitalism will find a way to produce both good and bad. One can look at the pharmaceutical industry as a current example. And as humans literally fuse with technology through the biotech field, can we really afford to make the creation of living organisms subject to the malignant side of capitalism?
And again we come back to the question, "Where do we go?" The first publisher I worked for specialized in the topic of socially responsible business–"business with a conscience." These businesses do exist, and many are very successful. They are able to balance a degree of social responsibility–to their customers, their workers, and to society in general–with profit-making ability. But both the positive and negative effects of business are still by definition externalities in the majority of private enterprises.
Enter Nietzsche…
So, in the overall discussion of technology, business, and the individual, it remains to be seen if the disappearance of Bartlebys is a good thing or a bad thing. There will be less mind-numbing corporate positions, but also more steps towards the creation of a efficient monster–or will it be angel? Maybe it's best viewed in the supermoral Nietzschean sense. Capitalism is neither "good" nor "bad," just like nature itself, and it is humans that impose a morality on to the ideology. Perhaps humans created the "corporation" as a type of ubermensch figure who escapes the confines of morality imposed on humans and resides outside of justice, of right and wrong or good and bad. Hence the current trend of actual individuals "incorporating" themselves.
If viewed through the lens of Nietzsche, this debate moves to a prophetic level. For it was Nietzsche, through the voice of Zarathurstra, who proclaims the emergence of the ubermensch, or overman. For Nietzsche, "man is a rope, fastened between animal and Overman–a rope over an abyss." If Foucault and Melville (at least for this discussion) are concerned with the institutions and the role of the worker, or subject, Nietzsche ascribed to a historical philosophy of mellenial proportions. Nietzsche, to quote the late D. Boon, "lived sweat but dreamed light years."
Nietzsche points to some type of new being, the overman, that will make humans appear as a "laughing stock or painful embarrassment." This concept lends itself to interpretation through 21st century fields like biotechnology. Capitalism might be used in conjunction with biotechnology as stepping stones to a "supermoral superhuman." By embracing both capitalism and technology, humans could overcome these "limitations." As I mentioned before, capitalism seems to embody both the life-giving and brutal aspects of nature itself. By leveraging capitalism and technology to overcome both our moral and biological limitations, we could wind up, conversely, in a state that is more true to earth or nature.
What would this future look like? It's very difficult to tell. It could be horrific, from a human perspective at least. After all, we talking about the emergence of something that is not necessarily human–we would be its chimpanzee. All knowledge, culture, religion–the triumphs of man–would lose value. This new being could build a hyper-intelligent, beautiful new world, all through indescriminate violence. One only needs to look to humans for this blueprint.
In conclusion, maybe I don't have the esteemed position of replacing the Bartlebys, but I am Bartleby. Bartleby was not resisting capitalism, an agitator, as much as a harbinger of what was to come. He was, as Nietzsche would say, one of the forerunners who "are like heavy drops falling singly from the dark cloud that hangs over mankind: they prophesy the coming of the lightening and as prophets they perish." And as I work to replace my former self, to make what once was the human into the technological, perhaps I too am leaping towards this uncertain future of the overman–I am "a going-across or a down-going."

It took just one play to get the Broncos right back into the game, and it came courtesy of a player that fittingly played his college football in Arizona.
After the Cardinals took a 10-0 lead, cornerback Omar Bolden stood in his own end zone awaiting a kickoff.
103 yards later, he was in the end zone and the history books.
Bolden's 103-yard kickoff return for a touchdown was the longest in team history in any game. And it gave the Broncos its first points of the game, pulling the club within three points of the Cardinals, 10-7.

Comments, questions and tips
Used chicken stock and tortellini with bakon filling, but the soup turned out to be too watery and not sustaiable at all (in a cold environment i felt hungry after five minutes). Also, it lacked in taste a lot as no spices were listed in the recipe, so i didn't use any besides a bit of black pepper. Only a huge portion of wasabi mayonnaise added into a plate saved things a bit, but... To tell the truth - the soup was barely edible at all and my family refused to eat it, so i had to spoon the whole thing myself to not to let groceries get completely wasted... Don't know why people give it 5 star rating, have they no taste at all?..
Fast, tasty and healthy to boot! I made a few adjustments - added a chopped yellow pepper just to boost to veg factor, a garlic clove and 1 red chilli chopped for taste and a kick. Stuck in a couple of bay leaves too with the stock. Will definitely be making this again. Really filling - didnt even touch the bread :)

We used this Charm as a Special Thank You for the many staff members who worked with my granddaughter and family while in the local Children's Hospital. She was there for 7 months awaiting a heart transplant, which she received and is now home and doing great.

100% birch shells at a working musician's price: the TAMA Silverstar 4-piece jazz kit.
TAMA Silverstar drum kits deliver the high quality and solid, full sound you'd expect from a more expensive kit. Carefully selected birch wood is utilized for the Silverstar shells, which offer a focused and balanced sound that's welcome in all genres. Its 100% birch shells, triple-flanged hoops and a streamlined Star-Mount system make this the kit of choice for working musicians across the globe.
Silverstar drums combine tradition, excellence and affordability to give you everything you want in a kit. The kit's redesigned Star-Mount System increases the resonance of the drums. Four minimal contact points suspend the drum without touching the shell and provide maximum tone and resonance.
Plus, Silverstar drums feature redesigned separate low-mass lugs. Because the new lugs make less contact with the surface of the shell, they allow the drums to fully vibrate.
Cymbals and hardware sold separately.

Comments about Tama Silverstar Wrap 4-Piece Jazz Shell Pack:
Don't be fooled by the low price, this is not a "beginner" kit. I bought the kit in Chameleon Sparkle and I have to say they look amazing! I dare say they are more attractive than the high end finishes on my other kits that cost four times as much. The drums were amazingly easy to tune. Five minutes after they were assembled I had them sounding amazing (even with the stock heads). After switching the heads out (Aquarian force tens on toms, super kick II on the bass w/no muffling and a Remo controlled sound/reverse dot on the snare) the kit turned into a monster! The 12" tom is clear and cuts, the 14" floor tom has rumbling lows and the bass can compete with my 22" and 24" drums with out a problem. I play in an original old school punk band and a rock cover band and when they are mic'd up they can dominate any venue no matter the size. I have gotten more compliments on this kit than any other I have owned! In summary, this kit ROCKS!!! Don't let the small size and the "jazz" label deter you from giving this kit a go. You can take this kit from learning your first groove to recording your first album. In a word AMAZING! Oh yeah, thanks to MF for the great service. My new drums arrived at my door only three days after ordering them!

Comments about Tama Silverstar Wrap 4-Piece Jazz Shell Pack:
This is a great kit and you can read all about how great it is in the other reviews, it's all true. I just have some beef with the riser. It sets my pedal back a good 2-3 inches and makes the pedal have to travel much past 90 degrees before striking the drum. This messes with foot technique and general comfort. I don't see any way to adjust it, so I'm ordering a Dixson bass riser to see if that will set the pedal at the right place.
Best Uses
Comments about Tama Silverstar Wrap 4-Piece Jazz Shell Pack:
This kit is a great value. I got the shell pack because I have plenty of hardware, but the tom mount, bass drum spurs, and riser are all strong and well made. The birch shells are of phenominal quality, with outstanding bearing edges. The Indigo Sparkle wrap is tight, smooth, and classy looking. Even with the stock heads, the kit was quick and easy to tune up and provided a wonderful sound. The twelve inch tom is one of the best sounding toms I've ever heard, period, and the whole kit sounds great together.
I got the Tama Silverstar because I wanted a smaller, lighter, and less expensive kit to use for smaller gigs, hosting jam nights, and keeping in the vehicle for those last-minute calls. It turns out that it sounds incredible, and I don't feel as though I'm giving up anything when I use this kit instead of my Ludwig Classic Maples. To be sure, the two sets sound very different due to the sizes and shell materials, but the Silverstar produces a totally professional result.
My biggest concern was the small 18" bass drum, but it has proven versatile beyond my expectations. The riser is adjustable and functions well with my Yamaha pedal. The tuning range is very wide, and the drum sounds fantastic behind the kit, in the room, and recorded. It has gotten great feedback from peers and bandmates.
The biggest cost cutting measures noticable are the thin rims and the presence of only six lugs per side on the 14X14 floor tom. I have to say that these don't affect the sound, though, and the kit is a breeze to tune up.
For a full discussion and sound sample, check out my thread on Drummerworld.
If you are looking for a small set, either for jazz or simply for the portability, I don't hesitate to recommend the Tama Silverstar jazz kit.
Best Uses
Comments about Tama Silverstar Wrap 4-Piece Jazz Shell Pack:
I've owned many kits over the years and played on more than I could ever remember (many I'd like to forget!). This little Tama jazz kit rates not only as one of the very best, but without question the clear winner in terms of VALUE. The build quality rivals anything out there at two to three times the street price; incredibly well put together! The look of the kit and its fit/finish and component/hardware appearance are just stunning!! The all-birch shells are crazy-good-sounding right out of the box, although Remo or Evans type batter heads are a good idea for ideal tone. Any drummer buying this amazing drum set will be more than pleased. BTW, thanks to MF for SUPER fast service and shipping, they have become the Gold Standard in their industry.
Best Uses
Comments about Tama Silverstar Wrap 4-Piece Jazz Shell Pack:
right off the bat I switched the heads with Remo Pinstripes for the toms/kick. used the stock Tama Powercraft heads for the resonant side. it's 100% Birch shells are full and rich sounding.
the snare, I switched hoops and heads, Remo Ambassoador on top with die cast hoop on top and 2.3mm powerhoop on the bottom. full bodied tone. with that snare "pop".
I like the fact that the Bass Drum Lift IS adjustable. using a DW 5000 pedal. read some reviews that stated the rubber grommets on the Starcast is making contact with the rim of the drumhead. I was able to remove and flip them over. Looking forward to recording with them. this is a great deal

Growing Apiary Kit
Expanding Your Bee Yard Is Made Easy
With Our Mann Lake Growing Apiary Kits!
re you looking to add a new colony this season? With our Growing Apiary Kit, it couldn't be more effortless! You will have all of the woodenware needed for a season of beekeeping with a new package or nuc. Your new colony should fill up the first brood chamber within a month, at which time you will need to add your second deep box and turn the entrance reducer from the smallest opening that you started with, to the largest opening. You will want to continuously feed your colony sugar syrup while they are drawing out the comb. It takes a lot of energy to make wax! When nectar flows occur, you will need to add your honey supers and remove the entrance reducer completely until fall. Note: It may take 2 seasons for your new colony to completely draw out the comb in the supers. Bees are not included. See page 90 for dealers that carry packaged bees. Sorry, no substitutions. Painted kits will come with a painted bottom board.
The Growing Apiary Kit contains the following:
- Assembled Telescoping Cover w/Inner Cover
- Assembled Bottom Board w/Reducer
- Assembled Hive Bodies and/or Supers
Assembled Frames w/Waxed Rite-Cell® Foundation
OrWaxed Standard Plastic Frames

The second type is worse.
I mean both types are useless to society but at least when the first type of arrogant person goes around belittling others to make themselves feel better and feel like they are "everything," nobody actually feels belittled because like you stated, they are nothing and everybody sees it.
The second type actually makes people feel like shit because the truth hurts.

Medical-Legal Partnerships: A Life-Course Perspective
Dr. David Keller, founding Medical Director of Family Advocates of Central Massachusetts (MCHB Healthy Tomorrows funded project, 2004-2009), a Medical-Legal Partnership (MLP) that incorporates attorneys from the Legal Assistance Corporation of Central Massachusetts as full members of the multidisciplinary teams caring for children from low-income families in four practices located in Worcester, Webster, Milford and Fitchburg Massachusetts, will discuss how the life course perspective and social determinants of health are central to community pediatrics, including MLPs. Dr. Keller also will provide an overview of the origins of MLPs in the U.S., including evaluation data on MLPs, the impetus for starting Family Advocates of Central Massachusetts and its evolution, specific case studies of the interrelationship between medical and legal perspectives in the provision of care, and lessons learned about MLPs for the field. The information that will be covered will benefit Healthy Start and Healthy Tomorrows staff and consumers as well as other grantees within the Maternal and Child Health community.

The last time the Cubs played in Washington, they got swept in a four-game series, were outscored 31-9, and got into a bench-clearing incident that, as I recall, had something to do with Steve Clevenger, who is currently on the disabled list.
In fact, the Cubs beat the Nats just once in 2012 in seven tries, and even in that game, there was nearly a blown ninth-inning lead (that one was due to Jeff Samardzija giving up a home run; Carlos Marmol actually came in and recorded the save, but not before issuing a walk, putting the tying run on base).
Enough of that. The Nats are still a very good team, but I think this Cubs starting pitching staff can at least make these games competitive (in that September 2012 sweep, the Cubs' starters were Samardzija, Chris Rusin, Chris Volstad and Justin Germano; the only close game of the four was the one Shark started).
For more on the pitching matchups for this series, check out this Harry Pavlidis feature from the Washington Post.
And in the "It Could Always Be Worse" department, Ramon Ortiz, who was awful for the Cubs two years ago and who spent the entire 2012 season in Triple-A and who is 40 years old, is starting tonight's game for the Blue Jays, a team that was supposed to contend for a division title this year.
Cubs lineup:
Castro SS, Ransom 3B, Rizzo 1B, Soriano LF, Hairston RF, Castillo C, Sweeney CF, Barney 2B, Samardzija P
Ryan Sweeney, who hit LHP quite well at Iowa, gets his chance to show he can hit them at the big-league level. And, it's Starlin Castro's first day hitting leadoff this year.
Nationals lineup:
Span CF, Bernadina RF, Zimmerman 3B, LaRoche 1B, Desmond SS, Espinosa 2B, Moore LF, Suzuki C, Detwiler P
No word on why Bryce Harper isn't starting.
Today's Starting Pitchers |
Jeff Samardzija's last start in 2012 before he was shut down was September 3, 2012 in Washington. He threw seven innings, allowed seven hits and one run, and lost. I'd settle for him throwing the seven innings tonight -- he's done that just twice in his seven starts so far this year. Current Nats are hitting .239 against him (17-for-71).
Ross Detwiler threw seven shutout innings against the Cubs in that September 3, 2012 game in Washington. He's off to a good start this year, though has allowed more hits (42) than innings (36). Current Cubs are hitting .264 (14-for-53) against him. So maybe there's a chance.
Today's game is on WGN.
Here is the complete MLB.com Mediacenter for today.
Baseball-reference.com game preview
Please visit our SB Nation Nationals site Federal Baseball.
Here's the scoop on game threads for 2013. You'll find the game preview -- like this one -- posting as the first link in the StoryStream™, which will then contain all the overflow threads and the recap. The recap will also be on the front page as a separate post; once I post a game recap, the stream for each game will be retitled "Cubs vs. (Team) (Day of Week) Game Threads" so you can go back and find every thread related to that particular game.
In general, game previews will post two hours before game time. Exception: for day games after night games, that will usually be 90 minutes.
You will also be able to find the First Pitch Thread and all the overflow threads in the box marked "Chicago Cubs Game Threads" at the bottom of the front page (you can also find them in this section link). They will also appear in this StoryStream™. As I've done for each regular-season game for several years now, we'll have the First Pitch thread at five minutes before game time (moved up from actual game time per your requests), then an overflow one hour, two hours and 2:45 after game time.
Discuss amongst yourselves.

XML Data Binding with Castor | |
Subject: | How to convert efficienty XML big files | |
Date: | 2006-02-19 02:50:03 | |
From: | davidlealvalmana | |
I have read a lot about Castor Project, but I have no found where to find a example for parsing really big XML into java objects.
Showing messages 1 through 1 of 1.
How to convert efficienty XML big files
2006-02-26 13:34:37 glenpepicelli [View]
Check out the new StAX API (JSR 173). There is an implemenation at woodstox.codehaus.org.
This API will let you read an XML file without holding it in memory. So you may process it or load it into a database even if it's way too big to fit into memory.
StAX isn't automatic like Castor but it is still very easy. You should be able to write your first parser in less than a day.

Verification of License (exit DHS)
Wisconsin EMS providers by County
The training permit actually has two uses; part of a legal crew on a BLS ambulance and authorization to participate in clinical activities within a training program. The first is for a individuals that needs to be used as part of a licensed crew as described in DHS 110.50(1)(a) on an EMT-Basic ambulance for an EMT-Basic service. If the service is licensed above the level of EMT-Basic, this option is not available to the individual. The instructor does not have anything to do with this process as it is an application that is between the individual, the service director, and the medical director. The Basic Training Permit (ONLY FOR PART OF A LICENSED EMT-BASIC SERVICE) application is found in the E-Licensing System (exit DHS) under "Apply for a License".
The second use is local to the training center. This training permit allows a student to participate in their clinical experience and "ride along". No clinical experience or "ride along" may begin without a training permit approved at the appropriate level of training. The process for the issuance of training permits is a simple one and requires very little time if done correctly.
For students enrolled in a training program there will only be a returned e-mail approving the permits. Adhering to the processes as described above will further enhance our ability to provide timely decisions to those waiting for permits. Please be aware that due to the length and complexity of some criminal history issues, it may not always be possible to give an immediate decision and we may need to confer with our legal council regarding the final decision. This is usually the exception and not the rule.

"It's sad. I don't want to leave this place,'' Kilicli said. "The people are pretty cool. It's hard for me to leave here. It's been my house. It's home to me. But I've got to do what I've got to do.''
Huggins knows how hard it will be for Kilicli to leave WVU. It will be just as hard for him to see him leave.
"Denis has probably been one of my favorite guys,'' Huggins said. "I just like the way Deniz has embraced West Virginia and the culture. He loves the people and the state.''
He loves playing for Huggins, too.
"He means so much to me. He's like a dad, you know?'' Kilicli said. "I love him to death. He did so much for me. Nobody did that for me in my basketball career. None of my coaches worked on me as much as he did. He's been there for me in every high point of my life and every low point. When I needed people the most when I was 17, 18, he was there for me.
"We have a different kind of relationship than just player and coach. It's so hard for me to go somewhere else, but I have to do it.''
Huggins jokes that he's surprised Kilicli still is so fond of him.
"He always tells me that when he didn't understand English he liked me,'' Huggins said. "But then when he understood English he still liked me.''
Go figure.
Just before today's 1:30 p.m. tipoff with Iowa State (the game will be televised by the Big 12 Network, locally on WQCW), Kilicli and fellow seniors Dominique Rutledge and Matt Humphrey will be honored prior to their last game. Kilicli will walk onto the court with his parents, Ahmet and Dilek.
It will be the only time they have ever watched their son at the place he's called home the last four years.
"I just want them to see it because as much as I tell them about it, you've got to experience this kind of stuff,'' Kilicli said. "All these students, the people, how much our fans show the passion for our team ... It's an amazing place here.''
But it won't be easy for him.
"It's going to be really emotional,'' Kilicli said. "I'm an emotional player anyway. When I'm playing, my emotions really affect my game.
"But I think it's going to be good. You can never get too hyped for a game. If you're too hyped, it's easy to come down. If you're low, that's a problem. If you're low, it's so hard to get your spirits up. But it's my last game here. Hopefully it's going to be like my first game, but better.''
After that is next week's Big 12 tournament in Kansas City, Mo., and then, more likely than not, college basketball is over. The Mountaineers, four games under .500 now, aren't likely to play beyond Kansas City unless they get on the kind of hot streak that has been missing all season.
And beyond that, who knows? Kilicli will continue to play basketball, either in the United States or somewhere in Europe. He would love for it to be here.
"But you never know what's going to happen,'' Kilicli said. "I didn't have the best season this year, so I've got to go out there and prove myself, which I don't have a problem with. But if [playing in the U.S. doesn't] happen, I can always go to Europe and play. There are a lot of teams there that would [sign him] just because of how I play and just because I played for Huggs.''

Fans and other onlookers expected Kanye West to nod toward Nashville on his new My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, given his now-infamous show-stealing moment with country star Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards.
But one minute into the album, the rapper conjures a different Nashville act.
âSex is on fire/ Iâm the King of Leon,â West raps, referencing Nashville rock band Kings of Leon and their hit, âSex On Fire.â In a year that showed Kings of Leon starting to embrace their status as pop-culture figures and household names, a name-check from one of the biggest stars in the world makes for a fitting cap.
âItâs kind of flattering in a way,â drummer Nathan Followill says. âBut in another sense, you know youâve got to keep your head on straight and realize youâre still the same guys that started eight, nine years ago. ⦠For the most part, weâre still just three brothers and a cousin that still bust each otherâs (chops).â
The band appeared to be keeping that in mind when they recorded their new album, Come Around Sundown, which hit stores Oct. 19. The bandâs fifth album follows up 2008âs Only By the Night, which included hits âSexâ and âUse Somebodyâ and earned Kings of Leon the commercial success in the U.S. that theyâd enjoyed in the U.K. for years. But instead of aiming for the arena rafters as they did with âUse Somebody,â the band largely retreats to their roots on Sundown.
âItâs in the water, itâs where you came from,â frontman Caleb Followill sings on the gospel-inflected âRadioactive.â On âBack Down South,â the band embraces fiddles and steel guitars for the first time. The twangy touches are all the more surprising when you consider that Kings of Leon recorded Sundown in New York City.

David George "Dave" Reichert (/ˈraɪkərt/; born August 29, 1950) is the U.S. Representative for Washington's 8th congressional district, serving since 2005. He is a member of the Republican Party. He previously served as sheriff of King County, Washington.
Early life, education and military career[edit]
Reichert was born in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, the son of Marlys Ann (née Troeger) and George F. Reichert.[1] He is the eldest of seven children and a grandson of the town marshal.[2] His family moved to Washington State, in 1951, living first in Renton, Washington, then later moving to Kent, where he attended Kent Meridian High School. In 1968, he graduated and went to Concordia Lutheran College, in Portland, Oregon, on a modest football scholarship. He earned an Associate of Arts degree in social work, in 1970.[3][4]
In 1971, he joined the Air Force Reserves' 939th Military Airlift Group. He saw active duty for six months and served until 1976.[5]
Law enforcement career[edit]
He served with the King County sheriff's department beginning in 1972.[6] He was a member of the Green River Task Force, formed to track down the so-called "Green River killer." In 2001, DNA evidence identified Gary Leon Ridgway as the Green River killer.[6] In 2004, he published the autobiography, "Chasing the Devil: My Twenty-Year Quest to Capture the Green River Killer." [7]
In 1997, he was appointed sheriff of King County, Washington, by King County executive Ron Sims.[6] In 2001, he ran unopposed for a second four-year term.[8] A widely rebroadcast event during the Seattle World Trade Organization conference and protests showed him chasing demonstrators down 3rd Avenue, in Seattle.[9]
He served as president of the Washington State Sheriffs' Association.[2] He was an executive board member of the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs.[2] In 2004, he won the 2004 National Sheriffs' Association's Sheriff of the Year award, two valor awards and the Washington State Atty. General's Award for courageous action.[2]
U.S. House of Representatives[edit]
Political campaigns[edit]
- 2004
In 2004, Reichert ran for Congress. In the Republican primary debate, he bowed out, due to other Republican primary candidates not adhering to the so-called Republican 11th commandment.[10][11]
He defeated his Democratic opponent, KIRO talk show host Dave Ross in the 2004 Congressional elections, 52% to 47%. He replaced retiring Republican representative Jennifer Dunn. At the same time, the Democratic nominee, Senator John Kerry won, 51% to 48%, against President George W. Bush in the 8th district. That made Reichert one of just 17 House Republicans[citation needed] elected in a district that also voted for the Democratic candidate for the presidency.[12]
ARMPAC, a political action committee of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, donated $20,000 to his election campaign.[13][14] After the 2005 indictment of DeLay on conspiracy charges, the Campaign for America's Future urged Reichert and others who had received funds, to either return or donate the money. However he declined to do so.[15]
- 2006
He faced Democratic candidate Darcy Burner in November 2006; he was re-elected with 51% of the vote.[16]
- 2008
In a repeat of the 2006 election matchup, he faced Democratic candidate Darcy Burner. He won the general election with 53% of the vote to Darcy Burner's 47%.[17]
- 2010
He was challenged by Democratic candidate Suzan DelBene. [18] He won re-election with 52% of the vote.[citation needed]
- 2012
He was challenged by Democratic candidate Karen Porterfield, and won with almost 60% of the vote.[19]
Committee assignments[edit]
He voted against the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.[citation needed] He also was one of eight Republicans to vote for carbon emissions caps.[citation needed] He was one of fifteen Republican House members to vote in favor of repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", the ban on openly gay military service personnel.[21][22]
While he was not present at the vote on the Ryan Budget,[23] he intended to vote for it but was in Washington state for the death of his mother.[24] However, he did vote for the Cut, Cap, and Balance Act[25] and the Budget Control Act of 2011.[26] Both Acts required Congress to pass a balanced budget amendment prior to raising the United States debt ceiling. This was supported primarily by Republicans and opposed by Democrats.[27] In the final vote to lift the debt ceiling, until 2013, he voted with the Republican majority in favor.[28]
Reichert has signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge by the Americans for Tax Reform, a group run by Grover Norquist. [29] The pledge commits the signer to oppose any legislation that raises taxes or eliminates tax deductions. On August 1, 2012, he also voted to extend the Bush tax cuts.[citation needed]
Reichert supported reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act.[30]
He is a member of the Republican Main Street Partnership.[31]

In 2010, he developed a subdural hematoma and required emergency surgery, following an injury he sustained from being hit in the head with a tree branch, while chopping firewood in his backyard.[42]

The new VFR is a good bike – but it's not a great one. And after all the hype and expectation (Honda themselves are pumping it up as "the Ultimate Road Sports Motorcycle" and it's simply not) that is not good enough.Logically, to justify its almost £12K tag, the new VFR should offer abilities and specification head and shoulders above ...

text: My tech person is going to take down my computer and rebuild it all again. I've had CS4 on my computer for a very long time and registered it many years ago. However, Adobe says they can't find me and want me to re-register my CS4 so I can get the serial numbers and activation numbers. Where do I go to re-register my product or how do I find the place to re-register? Thank you.

Recent strong winds have dislodged some bricks near the top of the Paonia Masonic Lodge. Citizen Jason Ross notified the Town of Paonia and attended the April 23 council meeting to receive an update.
Ross was concerned that someone could be injured by falling bricks. A bench is located right underneath the damaged section of the building. Building official Chad Gartman and town clerk Barbara Peterson tried to reach someone in charge at the lodge. The town also put up signs and a fence to block off the area.
After a phone conversation by Gartman and someone he believed to be Daniel Gannon of the lodge, a letter was posted at the lodge about repairs needing to be made.
But whoever Gartman spoke with, it was not Gannon. Gartman received false information which led to a letter with inaccuracies posted at the lodge.
The real Gannon attended the May 14 council meeting. He had been deeply offended about the content of the letter. Gannon is the Deputy Grand Master of Masons in Colorado.
"I had the unfortunate experience of receiving a letter from one of your employees," he began. Gannon then read the letter out loud pointing out inaccuracies.
Gartman had written that he was having difficulty finding the proper person to contact at the Masons.
Gannon said the town attorney has also been his attorney for 40 years. Gannon is on the city and county records as being the person to contact for the Paonia Masonic Lodge. Gartman said he spoke with Gannon who told him he had not been affiliated with the Masons for a couple of years.
"He never spoke to me and I have been a Mason since 1974," Gannon said. "I don't think this person should represent the town."
Gartman sent Gannon a letter of apology on May 14 stating, "There must have been some kind of mix up or confusion on my part when researching information on who to contact and who I actually talked to. I was only attempting to do my due diligence and sincerely apologize for any offense taken. I, in no way, intended to misrepresent or provide factually inaccurate information. My only concern was the safety of the building, the people who use it and the general public."
Gannon stated the repairs will be made once the town issues a building permit.
