Standard & Poor's Reaffirms AA Rating On Class A Notes From Newtek Small Business Loan Trust 2010-1
NEW YORK, May 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Newtek Business Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: NEWT) ( www.thesba.com) The Small Business Authority ® , a provider of business services and financial products to the small- and medium-sized business market, announced today that Standard & Poor's Ratings Services recently reaffirmed its AA rating on the class A notes from Newtek Small Business Loan Trust 2010-1. Standard & Poor's stated that the affirmation reflects their view that the class A notes can withstand their 'AA' stress given their current available credit enhancement.
Barry Sloane, Newtek President, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, "We are pleased with S&P's reaffirmation of the AA rating on the 2010 securitization by our lending subsidiary, Newtek Small Business Finance, Inc. This securitization has been on our books for approximately 2.5 years, and this reaffirmation is testament to the quality of the loans we originate and adherence to our stringent underwriting standards."
Newtek Small Business Loan Trust 2010-1 is an asset-backed securities transaction collateralized primarily by a pool of unguaranteed portions of U.S Small Business Administration Section 7(a), loans backed by commercial real estate and other collateral, such as equipment or receivables. Since this issuance in December of 2010, Newtek Small Business Finance has completed two additional asset-backed securities transaction, in 2011 and the first quarter of 2013. Guggenheim Securities acted as the placement agent for all 3 securitizations.
Mr. Sloane concluded, "Our ability to securitize has contributed significantly to the 42% increase in our funded loan volume in the first quarter of 2013 over the first quarter of 2012. We have also seen an improvement in our securitization economics. In our March 2013 securitization, we improved both our long-term cost of interest by more than 150 basis points and increased securitization proceeds by between 8% and 9% compared to our previous two securitizations in 2010 and 2011. As we continue to grow our loan origination volume, we look forward to bringing future quality issuances to the market as early as the fourth quarter of 2013, or in the first quarter of 2014."

Sequential sealed first-price and open descending-price procurement auctions are studied. We examine which procurement auction rule achieves the low procurement cost. We show that the answer to this policy question depends on whether the items are complements or substitutes. With substitutes, the first-price procurement auction is preferred, while with complements, the open descending-price procurement auction is preferred. We also illustrate the procurement cost minimizing auction and the auction rule preferred by the bidders. With substitutes, bidders prefer the open descending-price procurement auction, while with complements bidders prefer the first-price procurement auction.

'Fantastic. We will be back. The best of the houses in PS we have stayed in over the years.' And, how about this review - 'The house was a delight and we're already talking about 'next time.'
These are quotes from recent guests that have stayed in our iconic home where we blended the best of new mid-century modern furnishings, vintage mad-men era dinnerware/glassware/serve ware, luxurious towels and bedding with a large amenity filled backyard.
Our home is set in a very quiet neighborhood thus we are seeking respectful and conscientious guests who are searching for a quiet, relaxing and comfortable vacation. Due to Palm Springs strict noise ordinance (PSMC Ch. 5.25), this is not an ideal rental if your group plans to party hard. In your inquiry, please provide information on who will be staying in our home and reason for your visit. Please note that the maximum overnight guest count can't exceed six (6).
The great room (living/dining/kitchen) is big and bright and opens to the private backyard oasis. The large yard has multiple areas to relax into – swim laps or float in the very large swimming pool, lounge in the cabana, practice your putts on the grass circles, or relax around the fire pit. A deep covered patio runs the length of the house and provides ample room for outdoor dining and relaxing, and shade from the sun all day. Fruit bearing trees produce abundant oranges, grapefruits and lemons!
Bonus for you – the mature landscaping offers privacy for those interested in skinny-dipping or sunbathing 'au naturale.'
This architecturally significant 1958 Alexander mid-century modern home, designed by famous architects Palmer & Krisel, is located in the wind free heart of central Palm Springs, and is a short walk or a bike ride away from everything quintessentially Palm Springs: the historic downtown walking area, restaurants, shows, casinos, night clubs, movies, Tram, hiking, tennis, golf, spa services, mineral baths, gyms, running, biking, or just walking through the retro mid-century modern streets filled with the residential architecture of the iconic master builders: Alexander, Meiselman, and Wexler.
Your Enchanted Alexander mid-century modern vacation will exceed your expectations and we hope to see you back the following year.
We live in Seattle on a floating home. We've been vacationing in Palm Springs for many years. We love modern architecture and chose to buy a 2nd home in Palm Springs. We wanted to live the classic Palm Springs lifestyle, and this home is everything classic a mid-century modern purist can appreciate.
Jessica Vanderzanden purchased this house in 2012
Alexander Construction built the first tract homes in Palm Springs and this home is everything Palm Springs. As lovers of mid-century modern, Alexander was the only choice for us.
This true classic Palm Springs architecture, was designed by the famous architectural team of Palmer/Krisel. Alexander Construction built tract homes that were designed to bring the outdoors in. The large lot has amazing views of the San Jacinto mountains, has a classic 12' deep swimming pool, cabana and fire pit. It is a playground!
The house is located in the wind free Sunrise Park neighborhood, and is within minutes of everything Palm Springs: the historic downtown walking area, restaurants, shows, casinos, night clubs, movies, Tram, hiking, tennis, golf, spa services, mineral baths, gyms, running, biking, or just walking through the retro mid-century modern streets filled with the residential architecture of the iconic master builders: Alexander, Meiselman, and Wexler.

Texas blues-rock legends ZZ Top celebrated their 44th (?!) year as a band with a 90-minute, career-spanning set at Bonnaroo 2013. The trio included tracks ranging from their 1971 debut to last year's Rick Rubin-produced La Futura, playing all the major MTV staples ("Legs," "Sharp Dressed Man," "Gimme All Your Lovin'"), early blues tracks ("La Grange," "Certified Blues") and covers (Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady.") Despite their inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, to many, they're just "those guys with beards who made a few videos in the 80s." To familiarize (or re-famiiarize) yourself with the iconic band, here are 10 reasons why their set was one of Friday's best.
1. Their Suits Rival Kanye West and Lady Gaga's Wardrobe
Guitarist Billy Gibbons and bassist Dusty Hill's symmetrical appearance have caused countless crowd variants of, "So wait, they're brothers, right?" (They're not.) Besides the obvious perfection that is their iconic beards, the duo's extravagant, Mariachi-inspired suits is equal parts regional pride and show business kitsch. See above for Exhibit A.
2. Drummer Frank Beard's Kit Is the Size of a Small Country
Seriously. Look at this. There are more parts on Beard's drum kit than fans at some Bonnaroo acts. The 25+-piece set includes 10 cymbals, two bass drums with skulls on them and, for some shows (sadly not this one), a gong. A gong. Do you know who uses gongs besides servants for kings in movies? Scary ass Texans who are happy to split your skull in two and use it as a coaster for their Shiner Bock.
3. They Wrote a Song Based on a '90s Houston Crack-Rap Track
"I Gotsta Get Paid," the lead single from La Futura, is a reworked cover of "25 Lighters" by Texas rappers DJ DMD, Lil Keke and MC Fat Pat. "I became fixated with this 'hypnotic chronicle of the toil of a ghetto hustler'," Gibbons has said, "and I was determined to use it as the basis for something ZZ Top could record." It's doubtful many in the Bonnaroo audience spotted the inspiration, but it's a testament to the group's fearlessness.

Roumie CL et al. – Compared with metformin, sulfonylurea initiation was associated with increased systolic blood pressure (BP) at 12 months, which appears to be mediated by the differential effects of these drugs on body mass index (BMI).
Methods- A retrospective cohort of veterans with hypertension who initiated metformin (n=2057) or sulfonylurea (n=1494) between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2007 in the Veterans Administration Mid–South Network was assembled.
- Patients were included if they had complete covariates, including 12–month BP and BMI, and persisted on therapy for 12 months.
- Linear regression was conducted to investigate the effect of OADs on 12–month systolic BP adjusting for demographics, glycated hemoglobin, creatinine, BMI, health care utilization, and comorbidities, including cardiovascular disease (CVD).
- A second analysis examined if these effects were mediated by BMI change.
- The secondary outcome was the proportion of patients who had a controlled BP (≤140/90 mmHg) at 12 months adjusted for baseline BP and covariates.
- Patients were white (82%) males (97%) with median age of 64 years (interquartile range [IQR] 57, 72), and 27% had history of CVD.
- Sulfonylurea users had a 1.33 mmHg (0.16, 2.50, p=0.03) higher 12–month systolic BP than metformin users.
- The median change in BMI from OAD initiation to 12 months was –0.76 (IQR –1.78, 0.07) and 0.21 (IQR –0.57, 1.03) among metformin and sulfonylurea users, respectively.
- In a model adjusting for BMI change, the difference in 12–month systolic BP between sulfonylurea and metformin users became insignificant (0.23 (–1.00, 1.45), p=0.72), while one BMI unit change was associated with an increase in 12–month systolic BP of 1.07 mmHg (0.74, 1.40, p<0.0001).
- At 12 months, 68.3% of metformin patients had controlled BP versus 64.2% of sulfonylurea patients (p=0.01).

Designed to be modular and backwards compatible, it can be mounted in a number of different locations. For V4 kits, it can be mounted next to the steering servo, or, if you're not running mechanical brakes, it can be mounted in the back for better weight distribution.
Additionally, the V4 RX Box is backward compatible with all of the V3 kits. If you're not running mechanical brakes, this RX box will plug right in.
There is an integrated antenna mount that is secured with a set screw, so it'll never come loose :)
It is also a very useful box for many DIY projects.

Where can I buy organic seeds and plants for my vegetable garden in Central New York?
Thanks! Lonnie |
Follow-Up Postings:
Seeds of Change has a seed catalog of organic seed. As for organic plants check with your local health food store. They may have some things you can plant like garlic (plant fall) and potatoes (plant eyes) that you can buy right at the store. You could probably also save some of the seed from tomatoes, strawberries, squash etc. you buy there. The health food store here sells seed. The people at the health food store might even be able to tell you where you can get organic plant starts- tomatoes, cabbage, cucmbers, etc. |

So since my doctor says I can't drink as much beer as I used to due to some meds he put me on, I've started kegging soda for me and the kiddo. I made a 2.5 gallon batch of Gnome Extract Cream Soda and put it in my 5 gallon keg to carb, no yeast added. It carbed up nicely, but it seems I have some sort of sediment in the soda, as almost every first pour, after it settles, has junk in the bottom, that looks almost like little tiny globs of clear jello. Doesn't seem to affect the taste, although I'm not drinking them. Only weird thing that has happened is that the keg froze once or twice due to a faulty temp controller. Keg was sanitized before adding soda. Any ideas?
I think you answered your own question. When liquids freeze, many times they separate out, and can never be remixed the same. I have a feeling that you are seeing some potassium sorbate separate out.

Sri Lanka 102 for 6 (Rasangika 19*, Taylor 2-22) beat West Indies 101 (Taylor 40, Siriwardene 3-19) by four wickets
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Sri Lanka women won a thriller against the West Indies in the last over of the fourth Twenty20 of the series in Colombo. Chasing 102, Sri Lanka were 79 for 4 in the 17th over and the match could have gone wither way as they lost two more wickets after that, but the hosts held their nerves to win with three balls to spare.
Sri Lanka's opening partnership was broken in the fifth over when they were scoring at under four per over. Prasadani Weerakkody made 16 of 32 and stitched a 32-run partnership with Nipuni Hansika (17). But Sri Lanka lost both the batsmen at the score of 47 which brought West Indies back. Shashikala Siriwardene and Deepika Rasangika steadied their chances by putting together 32 in 37 balls. Eshani Kaushalya was soon dismissed for nine by Stafanie Taylor but Rasangika made sure Sri Lanka won their first match of the series.
Eerlier, West Indies were rattled in the first three overs and were reeling at 18 for 2 after both their openers were dismissed. Only Stafanie Taylor withstood the bowling attack with a 33-ball 40 as Kaushalya and Udeshika Prabodhani ran through the top order and Siriwardene took three wickets. Their highest partnership was of 21 for the fourth wicket and only three players managed to reach double figures.

Tim Gunn Senses Jennifer Aniston's Desperation
Silvery Project Runway fox Tim Gunn finds an element of "desperate" in Jennifer Aniston's fashion sense.
At a recent appearance, he gave OK! his views on how the newly single actress is presenting herself to the world.
"Sometimes I think she has 'desperate character' written on her," Tim said. "The clothes we wear send a message. And I think that's the message—I don't think that's her intention though."
Was she wearing a particularly needy pair of shoes recently, Tim?
In Aniston's defense, Tim made these statements while making an appearance at the Manhattan launch party for...Tide and Downy Total Care. We're not sure someone showing up at a new laundry detergent unveiling party should be calling anyone else "desperate."
The loaded Gunn did qualify his statement with a compliment.
"She's a gorgeous woman and she understands her fashion," he said.
Still, expect Aniston ex John Mayer to have a powwow with his paparazzi about this in 3..2...1...

Florida canvas company closes factory
Posted onRecent cuts in production by manufacturers have hit everyone in the industry, from dealers down to accessories makers, including Boatswain's Locker in Jacksonville, Fla., which makes canvas boat adornments.
The company was hard hit last summer when Brunswick said it planned to close 17 boat plants by the end of 2009 in an effort to save $300 million. Without the orders from Brunswick, Boatswain's Locker pared its staff from 50 to a dozen just before Thanksgiving.
Boatswain's Locker shut down the 10,000-square-foot manufacturing plant it expanded into 10 years earlier and moved into the small shop across the street where it had produced fabric accessories since 1979.

/gold star of approval Have fun in the Park!Quote:
- Screen Name: Beldum
- Name: Rayce Jagin (just call him Rayce)
- Age: 21
- Gender: Male
- Personality: Rayce is very outgoing. He has no problems approaching people or Pokemon in an attempt to make friends. However, this is not to say he's a pushover. Rayce is fiercely competitive, and challenged he always gives 110%. Rayce also suffers from a bit of a pride issue. He things very highly of himself, and often displays a mask of egotism. This is too hide his fear of embarrassment and failure from others.
- Description: Rayce stands at just over 5' 10", but he'll tell you he's 6'. He weighs 183 lbs, most of which is toned muscle due to having to work manual labor for a living. His clothing style is fairly laid back, with his favorites being comfortable sneakers, good fitting jeans (usually a darker wash), and either a button-down over a graphic t-shirt, or just a graphic tee. He has a favorite pair of sunglasses which normally hang off the colar of his shirt or are being worn. His left ear is pierced with a single silver stud, and around his left wrist is a sterling silver chain-link bracelet his mother gave him when he turned sixteen. His favorite accessories consist of his bag and his belt - his trainer gear. Rayce spent years saving up for the bag, and the quality of the item is obvious. His backpack is a medium-sized bag designed for ease of accessibility but also survivability in extreme conditions. Inside is a two liter bladder used to store water, which has a small hose and nozzle at the end so one can drink while walking. Around the exterior of the bag are several hard-points where various add-ons can be attached. On the left strap, with the hilt facing downward is an attached sheathe for a survival knife. The blade is seven inches long, with serrated teeth along the opposite side of the blade. The bag also features two shoulder-mounted LED Flashlights, capable of lasting for days on a single battery. His belt was a gift from his father, before he passed. It is a simple, hand-crafted leather belt with six mounted hard-points for Poke Balls, three on his left hip and the other three on his right. There is currently only one Poke Ball on the belt, and that ball contains Rayce's best friend, Magnet.

Breakfast Topic: Your best instance run ever {WoW}
Jul 30th 2009 11:18AM I'd have to say that my "best" instance run was one fateful day in Blackrock Depths. I had been trying for weeks to clear the dungeon, going through many lost players, overconfident tanks (this one guy claimed he could solo BRD - he was lv 63 - and thus pulled way too much and died a lot), just plain failed runs, etc. etc. etc. However, one day I was lucky enough to get into a PuG that knew what they were doing. When we got past the halfway mark (the previous fail point) I could tell we were going all the way, and when the the Emperor fell I was elated.
On an unrelated note, that was also the day I dinged 60 and reached Exalted with Stormwind. =)

Warrior Q&A Analysis {WoW}
Jul 16th 2009 5:23PM I don't know if this is a problem for lv 80 warrior tanks, but at 76 I find myself needing to Charge on every pull to jumpstart my rage pool, which often pulls more mobs than I want - or gets the DPS close enough to pull adds that I then have to run around to aggro. I've tried using my gun to pull mobs, and it is much more precise, but then I have to blow Bloodrage (which, often enough, is on cooldown because I needed Commanding beforehand) to get any DPS the first few seconds of the battle.
In other instances (I'm dual-specced) I'll see a DK Death Gripping something and pulling exactly what they want, and worse, doing more damage than I am. Am I doing something wrong, or are warriors really bad at pulling in Wrath?

Jun 16th 2009 1:41PM It'll be interesting to see how the Isle does in terms of imbalance - will there be a Tenacity buff, or will the faction with less just have to suck it up like in AV? I hope that Blizzard has learned by now that some servers just don't have exactly 40 (or in this case, 80) people queued up at any given time.
Anyway, I'm really excited for IoC and the vehicles therein. Hope "Soon(tm)" comes quickly!
World of Warcraft Game Fuel commercial hits the airwaves {WoW}

I'm... not sure what to say. I think I just saw a Night Elf cast a *mage spell* Frostbolt that had knockback but no frost, and an Orc get matched in strength (crossing swords). Does Blizzard have any say in these commercials? And, if so, WTF???
I'd like to question who these commercials are supposed to be enticing. I for one am not closer to drinking Mtn Dew (spelling FTL) because of this commercial, and if gamers aren't the recievers of game fuel... who is?

I posted this on the Kitchens forum too. here
Here is my floor plan with red circles on one side where I thought the lights might work.
But, I'll have a light over the sink, so the overhead pot light might be too much? Should I just space them 4 feet apart and forget about it? Someone on Kitchens suggested putting them on dimmers, and I like that idea. But the kitchen lights are on a 3 way switch. A dimmer won't work on that will it? Any suggestions welcomed. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The following will be helpful. Yes, dimmers do work with 3 way circuits. |
Here is a link that might be useful: recessed can placement discussion
Thanks, that is really helpful. I'll have to go see what kind of lights we have now. |

Trinity sports report
- Written by Tim Cronin
Trolls men drop three more
The road to success is sometimes filled with potholes.
Trinity Christian College's men's basketball team has to hope they don't get too deep, lest the wheels come off.
The Trolls dropped three straight games last week, losing a conference matchup with Roosevelt University before suffering back-to-back defeats against Indiana-East and Madonna University in the St. Xavier Thanksgiving Classic. The setbacks left Trinity with a five-game losing streak and eight losses in its last nine games entering this past Wednesday's game at Viterbo.
The 78-65 loss to Roosevelt was the Trolls' second in as many Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference outings this season, and was due to slow starts in each half. It took Trinity almost three minutes to score a field goal, and it was down by nine points quickly, en route to trailing by 13 at the break.

I am thinking of starting my own business making edible cake toppers. These would manly be made out of sugar paste(fondant) and florist paste(gum paste). I am going to make a selection of cake toppers for a Christmas market and if that is successful I plan on starting my own business. I was wondering what is the correct way to package these items? Some Christmas plaques and some 3D figures, so I will need two different types of packaging. I am based in Ireland.
Any ideas greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Recently, a student of mine at Berkleemusic.com asked if I'd answer some questions about my day to day and past experience working in the music industry. I thought it would make a good topic for discussion in a blog, and perhaps illuminate some ways you might find your own industry doors opening.
Q: What is your name?
A: Andrea Stolpe
Q: What is your job and how long have you been doing it?
A: My job is diverse. Sometimes I am a writer, sometimes a producer, sometimes a recording artist, sometimes a publisher, sometimes a teacher, sometimes a clinician, and sometimes a song coach. I began my career in the music industry 15 years ago.
Q: How would you describe the main features of this position?
A: I am first and foremost an entrepreneur. I am responsible for deciding which projects to take, what performance opportunities to go after, where to put my time and who to spend it with. Even as I worked as a staff writer for various publishing companies, the direction of my career was my responsibility. I had to pitch my songs, network heavily, and stay creative all at the same time. This has been incredibly difficult at times, and I have relied on the expertise of others such as publishers and producers and engineers and other writers to refine the goals I have for my career. I also believe that luck plays an important role in this business, and so I've done a good job if I do the best I can to clarify what I want and then design a plan that puts those goals within reasonable reach.
Q: How many hours per week do you work?
A: I'd estimate I work 60-80 hours a week. That includes going out to shows and networking, lunches with co-writers, traveling to and from teaching seminars, etc. More of these hours are spent listening, networking and planning and marketing than are spent creatively writing.
Q: How flexible are the hours?
A: Extremely, and also not at all. Much of the time I make my own schedule. However, sometimes an artist comes into town and has 4 days to write the record. I get called in to write to the tracks, and I'm tied up in the studio writing until we get it right. Many times when it rains it pours. Other times there are droughts, and I'll shift gears to writing for myself, going out to shows, etc, which is entirely flexible.
Q: How would you rate job satisfaction?
A: I am satisfied with how my job has grown over the years. As solely a writer for a publishing company, I had a difficult time finding the ability to be creative on a constant basis. I had trouble letting the music go, just letting it be and going on vacation or just taking a break for a cup of coffee. Writing all the time was such an inward experience, almost maddening at times. Conflicted with trying to write good songs and yet trying to be prolific for a publisher, I felt I rarely found the balance between those two seemingly opposing forces. Now, teaching and being a part of performances that are not my own, as well as writing books and conducting clinics gives my mind outlets. I enjoy the conversation about songwriting that others bring, and I enjoy music as a contributor of happiness to my life.
Q: How did you get started?
A: I got started as a staff writer with EMI Music Publishing in Nashville, TN. After moving to Nashville just out of college, I got a job working through a staffing agency in a small non-profit. I worked as fast as I could, so that I could leave the office early in the afternoon to attend any industry get-togethers or co-writing appointments, or simply to go home and write. I visited my contacts as ASCAP and BMI monthly with new song material, and went regularly to NSAI until I built up my network of contacts. I went out to shows and selected writers whose songs I enjoyed, meeting them after the show to find out where they were playing next and if they had any advice for me. After awhile, my network grew to an extent that I was writing with other signed writers, and therefore gaining access to publishers.
Q: Can you point to the previous jobs in the career path?
A: I was advised early on in my writing career to work a day job outside the industry. This was a hard decision back then, since my intent was to get involved any way I could with anyone involved in music. It turned out to be great advice, however, since when I did interact with musicians, it was purely as a songwriter and musician rather than as a paper shuffler or coffee runner.
Q: What jobs would typically be next for some one in your Position?
A: There isn't a typical, and there isn't a hierarchy. Moving up may always be the opportunity to work on the projects of my choice, the projects that involve the music and message I'd like to be part of. Every day I make choices to create the music I want to create, or to make the bank I need to make. Sometimes both are satisfied in the same project, sometimes not. Constantly assessing where I'm at and my needs and interests helps to determine which opportunities are right at different times.
Q: How important have the people you know in the industry been to advancing your career path? Can you give an example?
A: I am nowhere if not for the people I have known in the industry. Networking has been the single most important job of my career, and is more important today than it has ever been. Constantly staying in the minds of others takes a lot of dedication in the form of emailing, calling, and physically appearing in places music is made and performed. Much more of my job is spent with these activities than creating music.
Q: Can you make a full time living from this job?
A: Yes, as long as I am willing to do a variety of jobs. As I stated earlier, I am a teacher, a performer, a songwriter, and author. All these work together to generate income and to generate more opportunity.
Q: What is the best aspect of the job you do?
A: I enjoy the flexibility of my job. I enjoy being my own boss, and the fact that if I want to see a new project happen, I can create the platform to see it through. If I see the need for a new book, I can carve out time to fulfill that need, for example. Family has become more important to me in recent years, and so I've been able to adapt my schedule and my goals to those personal changes.
Q: What is the worst aspect of the job you do?
A: Honestly, the worst aspect is getting used to the idea that most of the songs I write will never go anywhere. It's natural to disengage from the songs I write with the attitude that they won't be heard, and this then completely stifles creativity and makes me lose sight of why I write in the first place. The challenge risking enough emotionally to connect with and care about each song I write, while weathering the disappointment of each song not being recorded. This has become easier as the years have gone on. I'm more settled in my spirit, more clear as to why I write and how it feeds my soul.
Q: How much do new and emerging technologies affect your Work?
A: As a teacher, new technologies such as conferencing and its various applications enable new learning strategies. As a writer, I am privy to many conversations between engineers and producers, as well as studio players, and my experience in the studio helps me to connect with people doing these technology dependent jobs. Technology allows me to become more structured and organized, particularly when it comes to mailing lists and sending emails. Sometimes I think that technology has complicated my life as much as it has streamlined it, adding the work of internet marketing.
Q: Are there any current issues that concern you in this? Industry?
A: The internet offers so many opportunities to market oneself, that it's very difficult to know where to start and where to focus available time. Home-based studios has made recording affordable, so affordable that the average musician can now produce and mix his own project, narrowing the market for professional recording. The market is over-saturated with mediocre music, which makes high quality music more difficult to find. The independent artist has never had more control and more potential, however, and that freedom from the limits of record labels allows artists who never would have seen the light of day to emerge. The question I ponder often is whether the average listener is attuned to the difference between mediocre quality producing and writing, and higher quality producing and writing. At the point where art is refined to the degree of professionalism musicians who have been in the industry for decades strive for, the average listener may be lost. In other words, at that point, perhaps musicians are making music for other musicians.
Q: Do any Laws or Regulations affect the way you work? How do you find out about them?
A: As a member of the Association of Independent Music Publishers, AIMP, I find out about regulations that are important to songwriters and publishers and labels. Conversations with other co-writers is also how I stay current. I am not involved in being a voice for legislation changes.
Q: Did you undertake any training or courses for your job and can you recommend any for people starting in this business?
A: I went to Berklee College for music, and majored in songwriting. Then I went to Nashville for what I call my 'graduate work' in songwriting. I am constantly training as I write with other writers. At this stage, staying active in the industry is my training, and performing and writing are my daily practice. I wish I had more time to practice my instrument, and play with others who are more accomplished on their instrument. That, for me, would be the next step of training I'd like to have.
Q: what advice would you give someone looking to become a lyricist
A: Network. Go out to shows and connect with other writers whose music you love. Introduce yourself as a lyric writer, and continue to attend their shows until you build a relationship in which you can ask to work together with them. Get some simple demos done with a singer you think expresses your songs well. Don't wait until you get perfect songs written, but start with what you have and record. Record simple demos, cheaply, so that you can keep recording new songs on a regular basis. Networking is everything, and for the lyricist, you've got a special and much needed skill. Begin to view yourself as an asset to other musicians, since lyric is often a weak area that other musicians feel uncomfortable or uncertain about.

Team makes massive gains from practice to qualifying on damp day in Texas
AUSTIN, Texas (Sept. 20, 2013) – Corvette Racing didn't let heavy rains and an unfamiliar track deter its efforts in qualifying Friday for the inaugural American Le Mans Series race at Circuit of The Americas. The two Compuware Chevrolet Corvette C6.Rs earned the second- and third-place starting spots in the GT field for Saturday's two-hour, 45-minute race.
When Brian Hobaugh's dad bought a 1965 Corvette to compete in the world of autocross back in 1983, he probably didn't realize he was creating a family legacy that shows no signs of ending anytime soon.
But that's exactly what he has created over the past 30 years with his magnificent 1965 Sting Ray that has never known anything but life on the autocross since it was created in St. Louis, Mo.
It's time for Throwback Thursday where we feature vintage photos of Corvettes. Today's selection is this brother and sister who are sitting on the back of Dad's 1966 Corvette.
Right on the heels of the record breaking 1967 L88 Stingray which sold for $3.2M at Mecum's Dallas Auction September 7, Dana Mecum is out to break his own record for the price paid for a Corvette. The "Dealmaker" knew he'd have to do something spectacular for an encore at his upcoming Chicagoland Auction, October 10-12, and as if pulling a rabbit out of a hat he is magically offering the special modified 1963 Corvette given to Harley Earl by GM honoring his contribution to the corporation and Corvette, Harley Earl's personal Corvette.
One of the coolest recurring Corvette shows that happens once every couple of years is Vettes and Jets on the Lex. Over 300 Corvettes are loaded onto the flight deck of the retired aircraft carrier USS Lexington for a two day Corvette show. The Corvettes are parked next to many of the retired jets from our Armed Forces and proceeds of the event goes to support The Wounded Warrior Project.

Gunman Reported at NASA's Johnson Space Center
No Confirmation of Shots Fired; Building 44 Evacuated
April 20, 2007 Police are responding to reports of a person with a weapon inside a building on NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.
NASA's James Hartfield says an initial report was made about a man with a handgun at Building 44, an antenna and communications building, at 2:40 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
The Houston Police Department is on the scene and the building has been evacuated.
According to police department's public affairs office, the Houston police are working with NASA police to investigate a report from someone who "heard what appears to be a gunshot."
A first search of the building produced no evidence of a gunman.
There is no confirmation that any shots have been fired.
Building 44 is one block west of Mission Control.

Matsunoo-taisha 松尾大社 |

Information | |
Dedicated to | Ō-yamagui-no-kami Nakatsu-shima-hime-no-mikoto Tsukuyomi |
Founded | 701 |
Address | 3 Arashiyamamiya-chō, Nishikyō-ku, Kyōto-shi, Kyōto-ken 〒 616-0024 |
Website | Homepage |
Matsunoo-taisha (松尾大社 "Matsunoo Grand Shrine"?, formerly Matsunoo-jinja 松尾神社) is a Shinto shrine located at the far western end of Shijo Street, approximately 1.3 kilometers south of the Arashiyama district of Kyoto, Japan. It is home to a spring at the base of the mountain, Arashiyama, that is believed to be blessed.
It is said that during the move of the capital from Nagaoka to Kyoto, a noble saw a turtle bathing in under the spring's waterfall and created a shrine there. It is one of the oldest shrines in the Kyoto area, its founding extending back to 700 AD. The restorative properties of the spring bring many local sake and miso companies to the shrine for prayers that their product will be blessed.
The shrine also serves a kinpaku (gold leaf filled) miki (or blessed sake) during hatsumode.
The shrine became the object of Imperial patronage during the early Heian period.[1] In 965, Emperor Murakami ordered that Imperial messengers were sent to report important events to the guardian kami of Japan. These heihaku were initially presented to 16 shrines including the Matsunoo Shrine.[2]
From 1871 through 1946, Matsunoo-taisha was officially designated one of the Kanpei-taisha (官幣大社?), meaning that it stood in the first rank of government supported shrines.[3]

A fascinating list with some real surprises.
From Time Out, here's the 100 best British films as chosen by a…
Play on Instant From $2.99 Buy on Disc From $3.11
1960 Directed by Robert Hamer
Hapless Henry Palfrey is patronised by his self-important chief clerk at work, ignored by restaurant waiters, conned by shady second-hand car salesmen, and, worst of all, endlessly wrong-footed by unspeakably rotten cad Raymond Delauney who has set his cap at April, new love of Palfrey's life. In desperation Henry enrolls at the College of Lifemanship to learn how to best such bounders and win the girl.
Having seen Private's Progress and I'm All Right, Jack! recently, I was worried that I was overdoing it with Ian Carmichael's nice-but-dim schtick. However, I must admit that the producers knew they had a good thing going with this lot.
Classic British comedy from the 60's. Character actors Ian Carmichael and Terry Thomas do brilliant jobs. The tennis games were hilarious. Brought back the expression: "Hard Cheese, old chap!" when bad luck strikes. I have adopted "Hard Cheese" or the Australian version: "Stiff Cheese!"
The horror. (This cast's vast talents have been deployed better elsewhere).
An enjoyable old-fashioned comedy. A very upper class English lesson in how to shake off being a loser and instead win at tennis, get the smart car, the fine lady and become a smooth cad and bounder. As a teen I used the dirty rotten gamesmanship model at tennis to beat a much better player, with the help of two Chinese friends as spectators. And i look back now with not an ounce of regret or shame.
What is at best a poorly concocted mix of slapstick comedy stylings, is made all the more underwhelming by its seeming willingness to embrace deceit and subversion in the name of being an asshole to get one's desires. I get that it is a comedy, but using such tropes to promote unwarranted sexual advances is highly problematic.
One of my go to films when I need cheering up.
The plot is nothing out of the ordinary - good guy falls for pretty girl, pretty girl is taken in by a cad and his one-upmanship tricks, good guy goes to a school for scoundrels (see, not just a throwaway title) to learn the same tricks to win the girl and get his own back on some people who have walked all over him. The performances are top notch - Carmichael is perfect as the nice guy, Terry-Thomas is spot on as the bounder and Alastair Sim is....well it's Alastair Sim - what would you expect?
I first saw this when I was 14 or so. It was on…
"Pleasant comedy drawing its laughs from caddish one-upmanship in the fight for a rather vacant young lady. Terry-Thomas was very funny, whilst Alastair Sim didn't really have enough to do. John le Mesurier and Hattie Jacques make great, but fleeting, appearances."
I saw the Billy Bob Thornton remake quite a while bback and enjoyed, and as usual with remakes its diferent in take to this one, and to be honest, while this is a good film, the way story goes in remake was better while going in a diferent place. this film though ceretainly was a sign of british filmmaking then, Ian Carmichael and Terry Thomas work well together and some good humour coming through especially when eventual tables are turned,
A very "english" B&W comedy with lots of cads, fops, rotters and utter bounders
A fascinating list with some real surprises.

The 5 Worst Bits Of Marriage Advice We Happily Ignore
By Lyz Lenz
4. Just apologize, even if you aren't sorry. My husband tried to do this once, and I immediately asked him why he was lying to me. Even in the middle of a fight, no one wants to be patronized or appeased. As much as it sucks that my husband isn't sorry for leaving his socks on the floor, I'd rather know the truth than have him lie. Also, why does he need to be sorry for putting his socks on the floor? I'm not sorry for leaving all the lights on in the house and I probably won't ever be. I think, in the grand scheme of things, we can both manage without false apologies. Advice: 9 Things I Wish I'd Known Before I Marriage
5. Let him know how you feel: Actually, sometimes it's better to suck it up. I used to let my husband know how I felt about every single little thing he did and that caused a lot of problems. Feelings are fleeting. Somedays I am irritated when he insists we watch NOVA on PBS for three hours straight and other days I'm charmed. The problem isn't him, it's my fleeting feelings. Getting control of my emotions and learning what's worth discussing and bringing up and what's worth considering before sharing is an ongoing effort for me. But letting my husband know how I feel about everything, is definitely not the way to go.
What's some of the worst marriage advice you've ever recieved?

Vaporizing warms the plant material to a temperature at which combustion cannot occur. The resulting effect occurs with the release of the active ingredient's in the form of a warm vapor. Since vaporizing does not use a flame or fire to ignite the plant material, none of the active ingredients are lost in the process. With every inhalation you're getting no smoke and more of the natural substance itself. Vapor contains little to no tar and is much cooler to inhale through ones' lungs, and pure vapor does not have any carcinogenic elements. Vapor is a healthier substitute to smoke! |

About Skirt Sports
"When you look good, you feel good. And when you feel good, you perform better."
This principle has guided Nicole DeBoom since she was on a training run in 2003, and decided women shouldn't have to sacrifice femininity for performance. Nicole soon created the first ever women's fitness skirt, turning heads as she raced to victory in the 2004 Ironman Wisconsin in her hand-sewn prototype, pioneering a new product category and giving birth to Skirt Sports.
Skirt Sports has grown into one of the leading women's fitness apparel brands, with a full collection of styles, from the market's first running skirts and dresses to performance tops, bottoms, outerwear, and accessories sold in more than 650 specialty retail stores throughout the U.S., Canada, and Australia. In 2007, DeBoom helped launch the fun, flirty Skirt Chaser 5K race series, and in 2011 created Kick Start, the first online running mentorship program that empowers seasoned runners with tools to help other women who want to become healthier through running.
Whether you're into running, walking, hiking, cycling, doing yoga, playing golf or tennis, and everything in between, Skirt Sports has you covered with fashionable fitness wear designed by women, for women.

text: Scarecrow Slayer begins with good friends Dave and Karl attempting to boost the scarecrow that stands in a local farmer's field. Dave becomes the victim of a gunshot during the robbery, and his soul goes on to possess the scarecrow. He uses his status as a member of the undead to do away with anyone who attempts to win the hand of his former girlfriend, Mary. Dave concocts a plan to kidnap Mary, but Karl attempts to stop it. Karl is killed in the process, and he too becomes a scarecrow -- leading to a final brawl between the two former friends. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi
