I think thats a bit harsh on Maxwell. The odds of hitting the last 3 balls for boundaries to win a game would be rather long, or so instinct tells me. The fact he got us close and made a pretty ordinary game exciting right at the end is achievement enough.
Haha yeah don't blame him for the loss. Blame him for being a tool though.
That being said, Perera didn't need to spray him after they won the game, that was not on.

I experience the HDMI handshake issue with my HR34 -> Yamaha 3010 -> Sharp 70" as well. Sound stays on for me, but video goes black. I have to power cycle the HR34 before it comes back, and often the video goes black shortly after that yet again! I have messed with cables, added a HDMI corner adapter to ensure cables aren't getting swished against the wall, added a 5V voltage injector to the HDMI cable going to the TV, wiggled things, etc. Nothing seems to solve the problem which is clearly caused by the HR34 (no other sources in my chain cause this issue). I have no idea how to resolve this
Here's one way: Remove the AVR from the video chain. I do this out of preference, as I don't have any issues with my Denon AVR. I run optical out of the TV back to the DVR. (also a Genie).

Even if you're unfamiliar with the name Shinedown, chances are you know one or many of the rock band's hits.
Shinedown's March 2012 release "Amaryllis" includes three consecutive No. 1 singles: "Bully," "Unity" and "Enemies."
" 'Amaryllis' is, by far, the most grand thing we've ever done," Shinedown bassist Eric Bass said. "We have a full orchestra. We have a horn section on one song, 'I'm Not Alright.' I think it's a great piece of work.
"I think the heavy songs are really heavy and in your face. The ballads are super melodic and moving."
"Adrenaline," the fifth single from the album, was released on Aug. 13 after the success of "I'll Follow You" on the rock charts.
"A lot of times in modern rock, the music can sound dishonest," Bass said.
"The thing that really attracted me to the band originally was that honesty. Music fans like honesty.
"That's something that I always knew was there. When everything worked out and I was able to join the band, it was great to dig deeper into the writing process."
Bass joined Shinedown (shinedown.com) in 2008 after writing songs with vocalist Brent Smith and drummer Barry Kerch.
Bass' experience with production via his own recording studio, Ocean Industries Studios, has helped the band — which is rounded out by guitarist Zach Myers — to shape its sound.
"It's fun to bring that aspect and not to rely on outside people for recording demos, for making music," Bass said.
Shinedown will headline the fourth annual installment of Carnival of Madness — which also features Papa Roach, Skillet, In This Moment and We As Human — on Aug. 23 in Tinley Park.
"We're really concentrating on trying to sort of reinvent it a little bit," Bass said of the rock extravaganza (carnivalofmadness.com).
"We did the first one, and we figured we would come out and be bigger, louder and better with more attractions than we did the first time.
"The first Carnival was sort of our first step into being more of an arena rock band than we've ever been.
"Now the band's healthier. We're way more experienced, and it's just a much better show than it was the first time."

Since 1968, Jerry's Artarama has stocked shelves with multitudes of tools and supplies and helped artists show off finished work with custom framing. The comprehensive inventory fulfills artists' every need, featuring everything from acid-free blank stretched canvases to Lukas oil colors, which have been transmitting images to paper since 1862. Custom framing services can protect and showcase a diploma, favorite 8"x10," or beloved box of cereal.
With thousands of frame and mat combinations, The Great Frame Up can satisfy any and all framing fantasies. The expert framespeople can make diplomas radiate (diploma framing starts at around $100), personalized jerseys glisten (starting around $300), and dorm-room movie posters sparkle (many 24"x36" pieces are under $100). The design wizards can also find a home for any prized possession, such as shoebox photos, baby booties, ticket stubs, medals, and really good pot roasts. The Great Frame Up's no-hassle guarantee and assurance that all work is done on-site means your frameables won't be subject to mistreatment at underground commercial framing facilities.
For more than 60 years, the mounting maestros at Rex Art Framing have accented and protected cherished family photos, heirlooms, and treasured works of art. In the show room, master framers with more than 30 years of experience can embellish individual pieces with eye-pleasing frames from a selection of hundreds of mouldings. Custom framing starts at about $50 for a basic 8"x10" frame, but prices will vary based on size, style of frame, and the artwork's degree of pricelessness.
Artist and founder Marta Echazarreta brings more than 18 years of custom-framing experience to Work of Art, encasing valuables from fine art to diplomas and jerseys. Reward graduates' academic rigor by encasing their diploma in a 1-inch black frame with a 1/4-inch mat and a 2-inch glass border ($120). Art collectors can swaddle fine paintings, lithographs, or Albert Einstein–autographed RoboCop 3 posters in a standard black or espresso frame ($56), then select from a variety of acid-free mats ($25 for a 24"x36" mat) to prevent picture yellowing.
When he's not lavishly decorating the homes of famous friends such as Sylvester Stallone, Lil' Wayne, and Jose Canesco, Anwar Zayden applies his meticulous designer's eye to the projects of his clientele at Art Express Miami. At his on-site, full-service factory, Anwar and his team preserve prints, diplomas, and photos within 30 minutes with customized framing, or craft shadow boxes to showcase 3D items from plaques to swords. His in-home consultations help homeowners design and install new decorations within 48 hours, and his custom-made mirrors spruce up abodes with reflective surfaces that remind you you're the fairest of them all even when you don't ask. Inside Art Express Miami's gallery, Anwar also stocks pre-framed pieces of decorative art that run the gamut from classical portraits to contemporary abstract canvases.
Owner operated professional custom art framing store. Extensive experience, high quality craftsmanship, exceptional creativity and customer service to the community. Our reputation lies in our fine craftsmanship, our variety of products, our immediate turn around capabilities as well as our Fastframe Design Guarantee.

Rap Guide to Wilderness Coming Soon!
The WILD Foundation is commissioning a new hip-hop album entitled "The Rap Guide to Wilderness" which I'm in the process of producing now! The songs are about how we relate to wild nature, its profound contribution to human wellbeing, and what we can do to ensure wilderness remains a part of our lives indefinitely. WILD.org is currently running a crowdfunding campaign on IndieGogo to fund the record, and the perks are pretty awesome, so I'm spreading the word. If you didn't get in on my last campaign, or if you're more into wilderness than science-of-religion (or if love of wilderness is your religion), this is a great project to support.
Check out The Rap Guide to Wilderness campaign on IndieGogo!
WILD.org is supporting me to bring in an awesome production team for this album including vocals and music from The Boom Booms, production and mix from Lin G, and beats from Soulful Spider and Tom Caruana, which is the same team that worked on my previous record "Apocalyptic Utopian Dreams". And the campaign includes funds to make a music video to help launch the project. I'll be performing songs from the album at the World Parks Congress in November, so please contribute what you can to this project (even a few bucks is a huge help), and share the link on social media.
The Rap Guide to Religion off-Broadway
The Rap Guide to Religion Premieres off-Broadway
Announcing a new off-Broadway theatre production, written and performed by Baba Brinkman, directed by Darren Lee Cole, and produced by Soho Playhouse Inc. The Rap Guide to Religion opened at the 2014 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and was met with rave reviews and audience acclaim. Now Soho Playhouse Inc is proud to present the show for a limited five-week engagement beginning October 8th. Full schedule and reservations are online here.
"Devilishly insightful and dazzlingly witty… a fringe must-see"
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Edinburgh Reporter
The Rap Guide to Religion is a new species of theatre, part hip-hop concert, part stand up comedy, and part TED Talk, exploring one of the most heated questions of our age: what's the point of religion? Taking a scientific approach to the question, Canadian hip-hop artist Baba Brinkman performs faith-illuminating songs inspired by the best of cognitive science, evolutionary theory, and comparative anthropology, with examples from his own family history (Baba's ultra-religious great great great grandparents sired more than 8,000 descendants). Audiences will discover the various ways and means by which religion evolves in our species, and will leave the show with a new appreciation of religion, and its critics.
"I had the time of my life. I love Brinkman's blend of lecture hall, with vaudeville, with a studied and yet organic lyricism… real talk, in every sense."
★ ★ ★ ★ Edinburgh Uncovered
A prolific writer, producer, and recording artist, Baba is currently working on the album version of The Rap Guide to Religion, supported by a successful campaign with more than 300 backers on Kickstarter. He recently released a preview EP "Religion Evolves" featuring songs from the show. He has also been commissioned to write and perform a new "Rap Guide to Wilderness" at the World Parks Congress in Sydney, Australia in November. Baba's "Rap Guide" series also includes the award-winning "Rap Guide to Evolution" ("Astonishing and brilliant" NY Times).

Kickstarting A New Record
My Kickstarter campaign only has 58 hours left and it's tantalizingly close! In the past week we've had more than 60 new backers and we're now well over the 2/3 mark, 217 backers so far. Can we pull off the final 1/3 in less than 3 days?
Several amazing things have happened in the past few days that give me hope. Legendary evolutionary biologist Richard Lenski dropped $750 on the campaign, earning himself a custom-written rap song, and went on to tweet that he wants the song to be about his famous E. Coli experiment, tracking 60,000 generations of experimental evolution. Now that's a rap I can't wait to write!
Richard also complained that the $750 pledge doesn't include the lower rewards which he also wants. Ask and ye shall receive. So I'm officially announcing that any contributions of $500 and up will now include the "Swag Pack" ($100 level) and the "Animated Character Based On You" ($250 level) if the backer so desires. Anyone want to increase their pledge?
Also, veteran mix engineer Bill Simpkins from Alpenglo Sound Studios wrote to offer a massive donation: he will mix the album free of charge (approximately $5,000 in value) if we hit the target! This means I'll be able to spend more of the budget on awesome production value and animation, but only if we get there.
If you're planning to back the project but were waiting until the end, now is the time! Whatever you can contribute helps, and then please let people know that you are a backer via email and social media, and tell them why you want this project to succeed.
As for me, I want it to succeed because I have a story to tell. It's the story of how religion came to be part of human nature, how it evolved, what its adaptive functions were, and how it might continue to evolve in the future, especially as more and more of us continue to identify as non-religious. To help me tell this story, I've enlisted input from world class scientists and researchers who study religion, and from an awesome team of music producers and animators. Hip-hop is the medium I work in, telling stories through songs and live performances and videos. Help me tell this story!
With appreciation,

In early May I gave a talk at TEDxNavesink in New Jersey, entitled "A Brief History of Rhyme," detailing the emergence of polysyllabic rhyme patterns in both hip-hop and traditional literature. The talk was based on ideas I explored in the prologue to The Rap Canterbury Tales, published in 2006 by Talon Books. You can watch the TEDx Talk below.

New Shoots
Yesterday Jamie and I performed at the Octagon Theatre in Perth, the third stop on our nine-city Rap Guide to Evolution Down Under tour, including the Sydney Opera House June 18-21. Here's all of the tour dates if you're in Oz or have friends here who might want to catch the show. Check out the West Australian's glowing 4.5/5 star review of last night's show: The Evolution Will Not Be Televised.
In other recent events, I've been touring around the USA this Spring. We captured several more locations for the "Darwin's America" documentary, including Texas and Alabama, where we also began shooting the upcoming music video for "Don't Sleep With Mean People" with a group of conscientious college students keen to spread the evolutionary lovin'.
I also attended the Tucson Consciousness Conference where my wife Heather gave a talk and where I was performing as "The Reductionist Rapper," charged with "reducing" the conference proceedings into a series of digestible rap summaries. The conference delivered a full six days of neuroscience and philosophy exploring the mystery of consciousness and how it might be scientifically explainable, and a highlight video of my final "rap up" performance is now available to watch on YouTube.
If you're interested in the field, my raps were also integrated into a daily webcast called "Consciousness Central" which can be streamed here.
In other news, I wrote a piece about evolution and inequality for the Huffington Post which garnered 65 comments, a personal best for controversy, and I collaborated with the Perlstein Lab to explain the science of evolutionary pharmacology in an animated rap video, plus I gave a talk at TEDxNavesink about the history of rhyme from Chaucer to rap, which should be available online soon. Doing my best to keep it diverse over here!
Finally, if you've read this far you're about to be rewarded with a delectable bit of news. I'll be back at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer performing The Canterbury Tales Remixed at Underbelly, and also a new show, The Rap Guide to Religion, at the Gilded Balloon. No rest for the wicked!
So now that I'm officially working on a Rap Guide to Religion, I'm curious to hear from you all. What defines religious beliefs as opposed to other kinds of beliefs? How do you think the phenomenon is best explained, evolutionarily, psychologically, or sociologically? What religious behaviours do you think a "rap guide" needs to include to be comprehensive? I have a reading list I'm drawing inspiration from, but I'm open to suggestions as well, keeping in mind the show (and eventually the CD) can only be about an hour long.

Evolution and Inequality
I get emails from creationists occasionally, mostly good-natured ones rather than hate mail, but always disputatious in nature (of course). Recently I engaged in a dialogue with a family friend who is a creationist of the "your faith in science is no different than my faith in god" variety, and part of our disagreement came around to the question of whether the world is getting better or worse for people. This question isn't central to whether or not evolution is true, but it may have a key role to play in the question of whether knowledge of evolution is useful.
As evidence for moral improvement, I cited Steven Pinker's research on declining violence in The Better Angels of our Nature and in defence of moral regression my friend cited rising divorce rates and increasing narcissism, individualism, instant gratification, and the "subtle violence" that leads to "relationship breakdown." As evidence for his view, he sent me a New York Times article entitled "Is The World More Depressed?"
So is the world more depressed? And if so what does that have to do with evolution? Here's my response to my creationist friend in the form of a blog post.
The first thought that comes to mind is a question: once you've dismissed science as "a large, constantly shifting field of all kinds of contradictory theories," how can you then go on to quote scientific studies in defence of your view that the world is getting worse? It seems to me you must either accept the findings of science as a by-and-large reliable guide to what is true and real (including the scientific evidence for evolution), in which case you must critique the findings of science using the tools of science when you think it has gone astray, or else you must cease and desist all reference to its findings. Any attempt to have it both ways, dismissing science in general while also citing it in defence of your views, strikes me as deeply hypocritical.
Moving on, I have another observation: the New York Times article you sent me attributes rises in stress and mental illness and depression to "Our awareness of other people and where we stand in social space" and points out that "We know that social position affects both when you die and how sick you get." Note that the important thing here is social position, which means relative position. In other words, it doesn't matter how much you have, what matters is how much you have compared to others around you. When the article states with confidence "we know that…" the writer is talking about knowledge based on scientific evidence, and here's an excellent video that sums up the research admirably.
Now ask yourself: why would this be? What part of god's plan would explain the fact that relative differences in wealth and resources are so much more important than absolute differences in wealth and resources? Does this interesting fact about human nature have anything whatsoever to do with Adam and Eve, or Moses, or Jesus? Is it predicted by the bible you believe in?
My point is this: the details only makes sense in light of our evolutionary history. The observed pattern is just as true of baboons as it is of humans. In primates, greater inequality in social status usually means greater inequality in survival and reproduction rates, which is why our stress hormones have evolved to be consistently sensitive to changes in rank. We are the descendants of primates who followed those hormonal triggers to evolutionary success.
What we're observing is an evolved nature that's poorly adapted to the modern world, because technology, urbanization, and even agriculture are relatively modern developments, and genetic evolution can't keep up with cultural change. In some ways this is good, because cultural change has recently made us less racist and less sexist and less violent than the evidence suggests we used to be dozens or hundreds or tens of thousands of years ago. Culture can make us better people than we apparently evolved to be.
But the benefits of cultural change are not cost-free. Thanks to technology and media we have more people to compare ourselves to, more people to compete with, and more people to feel inferior to, and this constantly triggers stress hormones that harm our physical and mental health, just like it does in baboons only with greater intensity. So culture can also make us physically and mentally sicker than we evolved to be.
Jonathan Rottenberg's new book "The Depths: The Evolutionary Origins of the Depression Epidemic" explores these links in much greater detail. I haven't read it yet, but Maria Popova gives a nice overview in her recent Brainpickings post.
A better scientific understanding of the evolutionary factors at play here will help us to address the problems of depression and social disfunction more systematically and more effectively. I hope we share the common goal of increasing human wellbeing and reducing the amount of misery in the world. If so, science can help us towards that common goal, while the denial of science will only set us backwards.
So what do you think, is evolution worth a second look?

Darwin Day (Video)
A rap tribute to the countless biology teachers in the trenches of science literacy, teaching evolution to millions of students even in the face of religious objections. Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution, so they deserve our thanks and support.
Darwin's America
We're Making a Movie!
You heard it here first: we're making a feature documentary about the Rap Guide to Evolution. The film, provisionally titled "Darwin's America," will be produced by Creative Chaos Ventures, a New York company whose most recent doc "Casting By" was a film festival favourite and HBO selection. Darwin's America will follow The Rap Guide to Evolution as we tour the show to the places it's needed most: the American South and current hotspots of "creationism vs evolution" conflict. Our aim is to engage and entertain, not belittle, and to explore the question: can a performance succeed where traditional arguments and education have failed to make an impact on people's views about evolution?
The film commences shooting next week with my gig at Mississippi State University for their "Darwin Week" celebrations, followed by a show (for contrast) at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto. The rest of the tour stops will be spread through March and April with some additional filming in July, and we are aiming to include gigs in Texas, Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana, Kentucky and Oklahoma, plus there is still space to add more locations, which is where you come in. If you know of a venue or an organization anywhere in America (red states preferred, but not required) that would like to host a Rap Guide to Evolution performance in March or April, please get in touch. Because of the film and the short lead time I can do the gigs for a fraction of my normal fee.
It's exciting to be part of a project with a wide open and uncertain outcome, and I'll keep you posted as the tour and filming process unfolds!

Verbal Bling, Homicide, and Afrocentricity
When I was commissioned to write The Rap Guide to Evolution and challenged to communicate the key ideas behind Darwin's theory in hip-hop form, my first thought was to go through my record collection and see if I could find any rap songs that already centre around evolutionary themes. The three that seemed like the best candidates were "I'm A African" by Dead Prez, "Survival of the Fittest" by Mobb Deep, and "Hypnotize" by Biggie Smalls. So I set myself the challenge of re-writing these songs to make them explicitly instead of just implicitly evolutionary.
None of these three songs was written with Darwin in mind (as far as I know), but all three capture important ideas that are taught in biology classes the world over.
"I'm A African" by Dead Prez is an expression of black nationalist unity, reminding all black people, whether American, Jamaican, Haitian, etc, that they are children of Africa. As Dead Prez puts it in the outro: "It ain't 'bout where you stay, it's 'bout the motherland!" In my remixed version of the song (music video here), I remind all people of all races that they are also children of Africa, although some of us have to trace our ancestry back a bit further to get there. Since all humans lived in Africa (and had dark skin) as recently as 60,000 years ago, our current racial diversity is an evolutionarily recent "skin deep" phenomenon, and the Dead Prez anthem "I'm a African, and I know what's happenin'!" is a perfect synthesis of that scientific fact, which is increasingly supported by more and more streams of evidence. Also, it's hilarious when I can get white people, especially older white people (not to mention people of all other races) singing along with the chorus. The more diverse the audience, the more transgressive and cathartic the message. We are all African!
"Survival of the Fittest" by Mobb Deep captures the bleakness and danger of inner city ghetto life as well as any song I know. From the opening lines "There's a war goin' on outside no man is safe from, you can run but you can't hide forever…" the song reminds us that the world is sometimes a violent, hostile place, where strength and a hunger to fight for what's yours are all that keep you from being someone else's prey. This is also a perfect expression of the classic "nature red in tooth and claw" or "dog eat dog" understanding of Darwinism, in which organisms are locked in a constant and bloody struggle for survival.
The book "Homicide" by Martin Daly and Margot Wilson (summarized in this article) helps to explain how humans fit into this "war of nature" by exploring "the ways in which homicide rates respond to demographic, social and economic variables." Using an evolutionary psychology model to generate and tests hypotheses about human violence, Daly and Wilson conclude: "Our homicide research indicates that willingness to use dangerous competitive tactics depends in predictable ways on one's material and social circumstances and life prospects."
My remix of "Survival of the Fittest" (music video here and live performance here) combines Mobb Deep's perspective with Daly and Wilson's, showing how the male coalitional violence and desire to fight for status and dominance articulated so lucidly in the original song are in fact universal (though context-dependent) marks of our species.
Another insight of Daly and Wilson's is the relationship between life expectancy, income inequality, and age of first reproduction in young women. This suggests an evolutionary link between homicide in men and teen pregnancy in women, both of which can be understood as adaptations triggered by "one's material and social circumstances and life prospects." Over millions of years we have evolved the psychological tools needed to deal with certain challenges: scarce resources, dangerous enemies, and significant potential rewards (as well as high potential costs) for strategic youthful risk-taking. The bottom line is: in some contexts men who fail to risk violence and women who delay reproduction are the least likely to contribute genes to the next generation, and that's when Mobb Deep's "only the strong survive" perspective ceases to be "senseless violence" and starts looking like an evolutionarily rational response.
"Mr. Brinkman draws parallels between animal kingdom behavior and rap as a survivalist expression of power, pride, menace and sexual magnetism. And as he wryly points out, what is the ostentatious plumage of the male peacock but nature's bling?" The New York Times
The Notorious BIG's song "Hypnotize" mixes real, physical bling with incredibly fluid lyricism – verbal bling – creating a harmonious whole with "sexual magnetism" as its explicit raison d'etre. What is the song for? The ladies in the chorus leave no room for doubt, singing: "Biggie Biggie Biggie, can't you see, somehow your words just hypnotize me, and I just love your flashy ways, I guess that's why they're broke and you're so paid." According to evolutionary psychologist Geoffrey Miller, this isn't just what Biggie's song is for, this is also what "song" – ie the human capacity for music and poetry – is "for" in terms of its ultimate evolutionary function. If this is the case, then Biggie's words and their hypnotic effect on the female brain are fulfilling their precise Darwinian purpose.
For my remixed version of "Hypnotize" I had to tweak Biggie's message ever so slightly (lacking any real physical bling of my own to flaunt), by instead putting the emphasis on the verbal bling and its effects.
According to Miller, the ability to synthesize words and music into pleasing arrangements can be understood as a "costly signal" analogous to the peacock's tail, the nightingale's song, or the bowerbird's nest, a talent that was designed by evolution for a single purpose: attracting mates. And what do the ladies get out of the arrangement? They get an unfakeable guarantee of genetic quality, an assurance that the genes behind the display are top notch and will produce healthy and equally sexy offspring, well-equipped to fight diseases (because a disease-susceptible organism couldn't maintain the necessary brain and body power for the display in the first place) and attract the next generation of choosy groupies.
And what about the female talent for song? Well, human males are choosy too, especially when it comes to long-term investment, fatherhood, and commitment. Singing females may be displaying the same qualities as singing males, that is, well-developed brains and bodies and sexy genes, only their evolutionary goal may be to attract quality instead of quantity. Palaeolithic female pop divas might well have attracted stronger, smarter, higher-status mates than off-key female warblers in the Stone Age. Hey, it seems to have worked pretty well for Beyonce.

But opportunity has already struck six Delta State University students who are part of the Delta Music Institute.
These students make up the DMI All-Stars band and will proudly represent the Magnolia State on Feb. 7 at the original museum in Los Angeles for GRAMMY Week.
The band will put on a performance at the museum for dignitaries and special guests during the third-annual Mississippi Night — to honor the history and culture associated with the birthplace of American music.
Following their performance, the band will attend a concert featuring Mississippi legends Steve Forbert and the North Mississippi Allstars.
"This is a statement that Mississippi is coming," said DMI All-Star Bradley Davis. "We have a lot to offer. People from all over the world come visit the Delta because of our musical history here."
Davis will be joined by band members Amber Foster, Horace Willis, Anthony Tarullo, Travis Calvin and Charles Ross.
"This came as a great surprise," said Tarullo. "It's a great honor and definitely the biggest gig in my musical career — I never dreamed I'd be playing at the GRAMMY museum."
The Cleveland Music Foundation, Inc. and president Lucy Janoush invited the band to the big stage.
The CMF, which is in charge of organizing the event's schedule, believed the students were a worthy selection.
"This is what the DMI program is all about — providing opportunities for its students," said Janoush. "This will give them a chance to see the sights and stars and showcase their talent. I'm very excited."
DMI Director Tricia Walker agreed that the committed musicians deserve a moment to shine.
"It's a feather in our cap (DMI), but it's even better for the students," said Walker. "This will generate opportunities for the next generation of music professionals.
"These guys will get the chance to network and socialize with people from out there and from all over."
Calvin added that the new museum, which will be housed on DSU property, would be a big draw for future DMI students.
"I'm excited for what this means for the DMI," said Calvin. "Sometimes people underestimate us because we're a small program, but this shows great opportunities can come out of small programs."
The CMF Board of Directors, county supervisors and representatives from the city and Delta State University will also travel to Los Angeles for Mississippi Night, as they have the previous two years.
Band directors and DMI faculty Barry Bays and Charlie Abraham will be of guidance on the trip.
"This will put the band in a situation to do one of the coolest things they might ever do," said Bays. "Not only will they be playing in L.A. but they'll be playing at an event associated with the GRAMMYS."
"Getting our students on a worldwide stage is a big deal," added Abraham. "Los Angeles is very special to the music industry — it's the Mecca."
An official groundbreaking ceremony for the new museum has yet to be scheduled, but Janoush said a date should be determined soon.
The 20,000 plus square foot GRAMMY® Museum Mississippi will be dedicated to exploring the past, present and future of music and the cultural context from which it emerges.

Genuine Rinpoches?
Posted 27 January 2009 - 07:27 AM
1) Alon Bagwan Rinpoche
2) Trinlay Rinpoche
3) Jowo Rinpoche
4) Troma Rinpoche

Yangtrul Rinpoche has followed a very guenuine and classical education in Sera-Jhe monastery, where he achieved the Lharampa degree, he also received an extensive education in Tantra and is reknowed in Sera for his extensive knowledge in Sutra and Tantra.6) Kharnang Yangtul Rinpoche
As many Tibetans have done he made the mistake to miscalculate the impact and importance of some associations with some fake teachers, and fell into the trap of letting them organize tours for him in America to raise money for the Monastery he is responsible of in Tibet, and the various social projects for the nomad population it upholds. Doing so he brought credit to their manipulations of Buddha Dharma and their usage of the Tibetan tradition to support their own selfish interests. This brought some stains on his reputation, but it has to be dissociated from his great and pure tradional knowledge and his ability to transmit it.
Best regards,
Posted 28 January 2009 - 01:25 AM
I agree that we shall pay attention to fake Lamas, but be very careful not to gossip and through suspicion on whom doesn't deserves! This is a "dangerous business". For you, for others. You have to be very clear and very sure of your motivation and means before to put forward names!
Already Yangtrul Rinpoche is a traditional Rinpoche, as Gelong Lodreu pointed out already.
[quote]2) Trinlay Rinpoche[/quote]
I met him during the visit of His Holiness the Dalaà¯-Lama in France in... 1986 I think. He has been also recognised traditionally.
Others, i don't know them.
All the best

Subject: "Domo Geshe Rinpoche"-the fake one
Hello Michael
just to let you know I receive reply from HHDL office and they are aware of this woman claims but did not elaborate on what they intend to do but at least they know it.
Rinchen Dhondrup - official who repy- tell me there is list of officially approved Dharma teaching centres for USA and Canada on Office of Tibet,New York website.
Tibet Office New York
"Buddhist America" tab menu
For the rest of the world the
website has contact details to find approved centres.
Ironically the woman fake operates from Wisconsin area and there are many approved centres in that state so why anyone want to go to her I not sure-maybe she is good persuader or full of bullshit and they taken in.
Also ironically her friend numbers increase since row. Is shame, a few of her friends genuine lama or nun - not good.Sort of give approval which not good.
Best regrd

Just thought I'd post a letter from a concerned friend of mine here - I think it's relevant and provides some useful information:
Hello this is caveman. Just want to let you know that if you go to www.infinitenetworks.com you will see a series ofongoing articles exposing this woman as a fake and a con artist. The writer is an ex federal agent who investigates and exposes fake lamas and tulkus. He has a big series on a Madi Nolan who he exposed as a fake tulku and doctor of tibetan medicine.
Hope this helps
Posted 14 February 2009 - 09:59 PM
Upon request of friendship from him, I sent him a message:
"You requested my contact on FB. Due to lastest issues with some pretending-to-be Rinpoche, I won't accept anymore "lamas" without to know how they have been recognised, accredited, and what are they doing.
I don't wish to backup or support any fake lama, or damage Dharma in any ways.
Thank you for your understanding."
And here goes the discussion which followed
Alon Bagwan:
its ok, i will tell you,
are you a rinpoche ? i have never heard about western rinpoche,
thats great . at first.
please do not treat yogis like that
i am titeled by guru rinpoche himself.( includig the entire assembly of buddhas)
ps - what issue had ben accured with other lamas,i didnt hear anything?
Lama Shenpen Rinpoche:
There are several persons pretending to be lama or rinpoche, on the net and facebook, and this is harmful to Dharma, because they are far from being able to teach or guide anyone, they haven't been recognised at all but are "self-appointed" lamas.
I don't support that. Titles correspond to something, to some responsibilities. it's not just a game of the ego.
If you go on dharmaling.org, you will find the documents regarding my recognition as Lama. I have nothing to hide or invent.
Alon Bagwan:
its not an ego thing at all.
the ego actully is being attaced as well when people are expressing them selfs rudley.
being a titled as a rinpoche is never wrong, wont you agree ?,
in my case the title is not fully official, and not non-official as well.
this put me again the point on mutual respect and diginity to each other as individuals.
Lama Shenpen Rinpoche:
The title of Rinpoche belongs to the Tibetan tradition, in which it is used according to some rules and guidelines. To use that title, you should have received an official recognition or permission.
So, may you find this rude or not, it brings me to say that if you do not have any of such document, you are misusing the title of "Rinpoche", you are to be compared with other "fraud".
I didn't know Guru Rinpche was titeling directly!

The followers of so called His Holiness Dorje Chang Buddha III - also known as H.H. Master Wan Ko Yee, Dharma King Yangwo Yisinubu Wan Ko and H.H. Great Dharma King Master Wan Ko Yeshe Norbu - claim that he is the Buddhist equivalent of the Pope, the holiest and most honored leader of Buddhism, who has made the most magnificent achievements in the thousands of years of human history, a great master of outstanding international fame…, while various Buddhist organisations, including the Dalai Lama's office in Dharamsala have never heard of him.

We have already this forum, and i think it's good enough service from the side of our Congregation.Is there a website from a reliable organization for collecting these abusers of Buddhist titles? If not, why dont you make one? It might be of great help for people...
But why wouldn't you make such web site then? It might be good to have such "centralised" web site to expose frauds, and also to ascertain those who are truely recognised... May be something to do in relation with the Office of His Holiness and Offices of other traditions.

I definitely befriend it.
Inexperienced pathfinders became victims easily. A summing, comprehensive, easily available informing which has blameless authenticity would be a great help by all means. It would be help to enter on the right way and not to get lost along the way.
Unfortunately it is my personal experience that doubt give birth doubt. In bad cases it can leads to that point when one can't trust in nobody, be left alone and feel frightened. It leads to failure of discernment. Trustworthy informations from authentic source can prevent this.

An other example for beautiful self-confidency from Hungary: http://invitel.hu/horvathm/
He might be a student of Tanpai Rinpoche from www.omahhum.com, as many prananadi "masters"...

- Lineage: No lineage on the profile, no Root Lama. His words: "well, funny i come from the sakya line and Nyigma... but now I am really eclectic... i take the dharma from all valid sources." (Like Osho, to whose group he belongs?)
- How did he gain the title of Lama: Answer no. 1: "one of my dearest teachers if from a korean tradition Ir-won... that teacher is a genuis .." Answer no. 2: "in 1994 a person by the name of Chor Dorje Tulku a dear friend and a mongolain gelugpa tulku said.. look you have been ordained, you have taken your ngagpa vows etc for almost 7 years now.. you have students that you teach.. look for the benefit of others I make you lama... and then he performed a short enthronement for me. it was almost a comedy the way he did it"
- Mystery and consorts: He claims to have a "special samaya" What kind of? "i preffer not to say... it has much to do with high mandala consort practices" (but he continues to praise the consort practices)
- Lack of knowledge and disrespectful attitude towards the monastic tradition: He claims that he follows the yogic tradition, and not the line of "Atisha, Kadam and Tsongkhapa" (known for the emphasis on ethics, by the way), because "it was an act of the monastics to usurp the tantras from the yogis and they succeeded. it was all dirty politics and controll of the people (...) the yogis wanted no part of it" (Maybe from this reason he is approaching women with his "lama" and "consort" stories and listed dating and relationship among his interests?)

Tanpai Rinpoche himself seems to support the idea, as I can read it in past news relating to Olympics, on the website of our main inter/national tv (Duna tv). http://www.dunatv.hu...zbeszedben.html
"I consider Hungary as a second homeland of mine. People of the country are kind and have good heart, and as it is well known, Dobogà³kÅ' is a holy place, where the heart of the Earth is beating. When I teach the method of Enlightenment here in Hungary - I often come to visit you - it feels like teaching the whole world." (Tanpai Rinpohe)
Last year even the European Tibet Support Associations held their meeting in that place...
What can be a basis of such belief, beside Tanpai Rinpoche's statement?
A magyarok - még buddhistà¡k is szeretik azt hinni, hogy a Budapesthez közeli hely, Dobogà³kÅ' a Föld szàve.
Maga Tanpai RInpocse is tà¡mogatja az elképzelést, amint ezt a legfÅ'bb nemzet/közi tv-nk websitejà¡n is olvashatjuk a korà¡bbi olimpià¡val kapcsolatos hàrekben:
"Magyarorszà¡got mà¡sodik hazà¡mnak tekintem. Az orszà¡g népe kedves és jà³szàvű, Dobogà³kÅ' pedig tudvalevÅ'en szent hely,ahol a Föld szàve dobog. Amikor itt Magyarorszà¡gon a megvilà¡gosodà¡s mà³dszertanà¡t tanàtom, - gyakran megfordulok Önöknél - mintha az egész vilà¡got tanàtanà¡m.
Tavaly még az Eurà³pai Tibetet Tà¡mogatà³ Csoportok talà¡lkozà³jà¡t is itt tartottà¡k.
Mi lehet ennek a meggyÅ'zÅ'désnek az oka Tanpai Rinpoche à¡llàtà¡sà¡n kàvül?

Teachers: claims to have many, but names nobody
Root Guru: from her MySpace site: "After discovering Padmasambhava's sanskrit mantra in Sanskrit class Naljorma knew she had found her root guru.â€Â
Data about the recognition as a Lama / Maha Siddha / Dakini? Unknown.
How did she become a medium? From her FB group site: Dorje Phagmo "chooses certain woman to be her vessels. Naljorma has been her vessels for many years, and kept it a secret because she feared for her life. She hid in the mountains of America practicing and watching the global evolution of Tibet and the world. It is only at the bidding of the Dorje Phagmo, naljorma speaks for her in this material realm. Like all composite beings Naljorma Joyce has many manifestations over the years, and now speaks with strong wrathful energies about the world situation and the dharma.â€Â
FB group: "rDorje Phagmo speaks: channel Naljormaâ€Â: http://www.facebook....gid=72598095798
Dharma Centre: Tantrayana Vajradharma Meditation Center (TVMC) in California: http://www.geocities.com/tvmc_inc/
Unusual teachings: "Regardless of all the pomp and outer ornamentation of the Tibetan Vajrayana system, it is a product of the benefic vortexual intelligence of the Gaian field to stabilize the postive evolution of planet earth. (...) It has had centuries of practice to bring forth the purification of sentient beings in this material realm and interdimensional life forms. (...) I want to reach as many persons as possible with this metaphysical knowledge, which comes from Tibet, Indian, China, Native Americans,Africa, Eygptian mysteries, Brasilian Shamans, Indonesia, western occultists,Japan,and UFO researchers. Mainly TVMC is quite global in its essence. " (from her MySpace blog)

My education included almost no art whatsoever. Thank you! asked Jul 13 '11 at 06:48 AJfinch |
Janson's History of Art has long been the standard issue Art History 101 textbook, with good reason; it's thorough, accessible and nicely, voluminously illustrated. linkanswered Aug 01 '11 at 20:58 |
One of the absolute best introductions to art is not a book but rather a documentary series called Simon Schama's The Power of Art. The show goes above and beyond a simple linear historical narrative. It was produced by the BBC and deconstructs eight works of art and their accompanying historical context. There is an accompanying book of the same name that I haven't read, but I have heard is a useful addition. The Power of Art is NOT a generalist introduction to the subject, but one that is selective in its focus to argue for the importance of art through history. When I took a lot of art history in college (6 or 7 classes that covered 5,000 years of the stuff, with my favorite covering 18th and 19th century American Art ) the classes that were most successful were ones that sought to describe why art was meaningful, why it could be seen as a reflection of the culture of its creation. Part of this was driven by my desire as an artist to figure out why art mattered. This meant fewer facts, and a greater appreciation for historical and cultural context. linkanswered Jul 13 '11 at 07:03 oliver Fab. Thanks, Oliver. I agree - it's all about the context. That's half of what I'm after. :)

The tree selected as Cleveland's Big Old Tree is a 130-foot-tall red oak located at 3635 North Ocoee St. The tree adorns the yard of City Council member Dale Hughes.
The trees on this page and on Page 48 are some of the trees nominated as Cleveland's Big Old Tree.
The contest had a twofold goal. One, to local the biggest tree within the city limits of Cleveland. The second was to locate and identify the big trees in the community and preserve the tree canopy in Cleveland.
Dan Hartman, urban tree forester, said "We already know we've lost beautiful trees. Too many times I get a call from someone who is afraid a tree will hit the house. Too many times they want to do improper work or simply remove the tree from a lack of understanding. In most cases, it does not need to be removed."
The initiative, according to Hartman, is to promote awareness of the beauty of vibrant trees — big and small.
He reminded that trees are beneficial to the community as they filter the air and release more oxygen into it, absorb excess rainwater, stabilize soil and provide shade and privacy.

- Styles: Traditional Rugs
- Origin: India
- Available in the following sizes: 2' 3" x 4', 3' x 5', 2' 3" x 8', 4' x 6', 2' 3" x 12', 2' 3" x 14', 5' x 8', 7' 6" x 9' 6", 8' 3" x 11', 3' 6" Round, 6' Round and 8' Round

Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors to remove. Clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with cloth or sponge. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
Yes, I would recommend this rug. The colors and size are exactly as they are featured online. I love it!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Hmmmm... still deciding whether to go through the hassle of returning a 14 foot wool rug. Ordered in the light gold colors, expected a cream colored product, and this rug is green. Primarily light green in all the areas that show as cream colored in the photograph. I was prepared for the red to be more rust, but did not expect the body to be green. Size is right, quality is quite good for the price, so if the color had been right I'd have been delighted.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.not at all like the photo. the color is duller and not predominantly gold but murky greens. the red is an after thought that looks brown. but the rug is good quality, and i could make it work so i kept it.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.It's a nice soft rug at a good price. The color is more of a pale teal and beige , rather than golden yellow as advertised.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Love the print, looks very formal. Ideal for the living room.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I had a coupon and it turned out to be a good value. Not a fine hierloom Persian rug, but not advertised to be. It's a nice soft wool rug. I'm happy with it.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The quality of the rug is a good value but the color of the rug in the online picture is very different than the actual color of the rug.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

WholeFoods Magazine SourceBook: The Natural Products Directory
The Natural Products Association (NPA), based in Washington, D.C., and NaTrue (a Belgium-based international natural and organic cosmetics association) will create a mutual recognition agreement for "high-level standards for natural personal care." The end result would mean products in compliance with NPA or NaTrue standards would be recognized by the other group, too.
Acquisitions, new launches, new partnerships, awards, new initiatives and more.
Washington, D.C.—Results from an internal audit of the National Organic Program (NOP) call into question its productivity and operations. Since a prior audit in 2005, officials made improvements by implementing corrective actions for eight of the 10 recommendations by the Office of the Inspector General (OIG).
Chapel Hill, NC—A study recently published by researchers at the University of North Carolina has found that children are snacking more frequently between meals. The study, conducted with data from over 31,000 children from two to 18 years old, reports that children in the United States are eating an average of three snacks a day, on top of their three regular meals.
Cincinnati, OH—Research published in the March issue of British Journal of Nutrition indicates that Concord grape juice may help support healthy brain function in older adults. Data presented in a double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot investigation suggest such findings.
People often have specific health goals in mind when walking into a whole food or supplement store, so it makes sense for storeowners to aid them in their search for products suited to their needs. This usually is accomplished with signage and store sections, pointing the customer in the direction of, say, the whole-grains section, or the aisle containing vitamin D supplements. Taking things a step further, though, can often lead to more satisfied customers and better sales.
Cambridge, MA—Kids generally grow out of their clothing every six months. According to thredUP, this can lead to parents spending up to $20K on staple clothing items by the time a child reaches the age of 17. In addition, we throw away 68 pounds of clothing and textiles annually—together, that's about 145 billion pounds of fabric sent to landfills each year!
Washington, D.C.—Each spring, industry members visit lawmakers in Washington, D.C. to help ensure our laws continue to guarantee access to natural products. The Natural Products Association (NPA, npainfo.org), based in D.C., coordinates these visits by making appointments for association members with their Congressmen and women. This year, nearly 150 members representing 33 states plus the District of Columbia came to Capitol Hill for more than 140 meetings on Tuesday, March 23rd.

The FF is all new. FF stands for Ferrari Four, signaling four seats and four-wheel drive. That's right, the company that swore it would never build a four-wheel-drive vehicle just did -- and it's a wagon. The FF replaces the 612 Scaglietti, which never really resonated with Ferrari customers. The added usability from the hatchback and the winter-friendliness of all-wheel drive certainly make the FF something to think about...Read more
It looks far better in person than it does in photos, but the FF probably won't win any design awards. At least not for its styling. What's underneath is a different story. Ferrari's first all-wheel-drive system is a simple, elegant solution to a big engineering challenge: how do you send power to the front wheels of a car with its engine behind the front axle and the transaxle in back? Simple, you add a second transmission onto the front of the engine. The two-speed front transmission, or Power Transfer Unit, allows the FF to send torque to the front wheels without heavy driveshafts or differentials, and a built-in torque vectoring capability allows the FF's computers to adjust the car's cornering attitude. It's brilliant. The FF's V-12 engine is no less impressive. It is Ferrari's first direct-injected twelve and uses six-into-one headers that were first seen on the 599GTO, which means it's a screamer. It revs to 8200 rpm, and its torque peak of 504 lb-ft occurs at a lofty 6000 rpm, but it's already making 370 lb-ft at 1000 rpm. In other words, by the time the tach needle hits one grand, the 6.3-liter V-12 is twisting out more torque than the California's V-8 does at its peak. And that speaks to the drivability of the FF. With four large, comfortable seats, a spacious, gorgeously finished cargo space, and four-wheel drive, this is truly the first Ferrari you could drive every day.
Drive: 4-wheel Trim level: FF Body style: Hatchback, 2+2-passenger Engine: 6.3L V-12, 651 hp, 504 lb-ft Transmissions: 7-speed dual-clutch automatic and 2-speed automatic Passenger Volume: N/A Cargo space: 15.9 cu ft
Front air bags, traction and stability control, and ABS are standard.
