Luckily, I have a job in online marketing that allows me to work remotely, so at the moment I've travelling around Europe, staying in a few different places and seeing what happens.
My interests are writing, photography, climbing, martial arts, yoga & guitar. Of course, I also enjoy reading, music, movies & spending time with old & new friends.
As a traveller, I'm quiet and respectful of the places I visit and I prefer to have a private space that I can call my own. I also require reliable and fast Internet access for my job, but those are really the only deal-breakers.
Other than that stuff, I'm easy-going and try not to stress too much, but that's not always possible when living life on the road!

'Add to Cart' button
for osCommerce Online Merchant v2.1
This is a new 'Add to Cart' button rather than 'In Cart'.
I have experienced some user issues when a user checks an item in their cart, click's the 'In Cart' button, thinking that they go back to the 'Cart Contents', then get upset because they've added another item to their cart.
The .zip file contains 2 files, button_in_cart.gif and english.php.
button_in_cart.gif is just the button which reads 'Add to Cart' rather than 'In Cart'
english.php has the following lines modified in to show the mouseover as 'Add to Cart' rather than 'In Cart'
define('IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART', 'Add to Cart');
define('ICON_CART', 'Add to Cart');
Thanks to Chris Fink for pointing out this user issue and button creation.

Photo by Michael Armstrong
In 2007, French artist JR pushed the envelope of controversy with his "Face 2 Face" project, where he photographed Israelis and Palestinians and then posted huge portraits of them on opposite sides of the walls separating Palestinian and Israelis areas. Inspired by JR's Inside Out projects, Homer and California artist Lauryn Axelrod sought a subject she thought would be less contentious. Hang out on the docks, chat up area fishermen and mariners, take their photos and then post them around town was the idea of "Faces of Fishing." She got an earful. Faces of Fishing locations and portraits
Old Inlet Books Jake King Jack Bunnell Bunnell Street Arts Center Travis Goodrich Josh Moore The Driftwood Inn Garrett Dokter Kari Hoss Ring of Fire Meadery Kirk Van Doren Lloyd Gailey Two Sisters Bakery Stacy Owen Heidi Spellmeyer Rose Compass Building Andy Rosencrans Becky Libal Alice's Champagne Palace Pat McBride Mike Swan Homer Council on the Arts Rick Oldham Ken Barnett Homer Theatre Todd Hoppe Greg Sutter First National Bank of Alaska Matt Oxford Chris Fitzgerald Homer Real Estate Billy Choate Pete Wedin Alderfer Realty Mike McLune Nancy Hillstrand Sourdough Express Michael Neese Doug Judge Alaska Center for Coastal Studies Robert Paige John D. Phillips Location to be announced Dan Veerhusen Weldon Chivers For more information on the Inside Out Project, visit www.insideoutproject.net. A website address with identification is on each portrait or visit Axelrod's blog at facesoffishing.wordpress.com. Portraits may be moved or fall down due to weather. In the middle of Homer's halibut season, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries released its proposed catch sharing plan, a federal rule that if approved creates a new halibut allocation that could cut the daily limit for guided sport fishermen from two fish a day to one. With charter captains challenging the rule and commercial fishermen defending it, Axelrod shifted her artistic focus. She took photographs, but when she had them printed through the Inside Out project and posted them around town, the faces would come together "to suggest that perhaps we're all in the same boat," Axelrod said. Through her exhibit, Axelrod said she wants to get fishermen talking. "The idea is to suggest that the industry is larger than the fight over one fish," she said. "The issue is how to foster a more collaborate dialogue that is both about conservation and sustaining the fisheries." The result can be seen on buildings around town. Men, women, young, old, sport and commercial captains, deckhands and fish packers, there's a commonality in their faces. Photographed at their jobs, they have lined, weather beaten faces. "Nobody was looking all gussied up," Axelrod said. "That's what I tried to say here: It's people working, but it's also about their passion." Part of TedX Homer, a series of talks on science, art, technology and the environment held last week, Axelrod's "Faces of Fishing" is the only Inside Out project in Alaska. Normally a poster is $20 to print, but Inside Out gave Axelrod a grant at half the cost. Bunnell Street Arts Center and the North Pacific Fishermen's Association also supported the project. Anyone can build on JR's vision. Through Inside Out, people can create portrait exhibits on any theme. "Anybody can do it. That's what's so cool about it," Axelrod said. "I hope people will be inspired to share their own creative visions and cover the walls with their own pictures." Originally from Vermont, Axelrod has been coming to Homer the past two summers, wintering in California. With a master of fine arts in writing from Goddard College, but also with training in dance, clowning and photography, she describes herself as a community based artist. Last month Axelrod also organized a public writing project, "One City, One Prompt," for the Homer Council on the Arts. "That's my work: helping communities find ways to build community and express themselves through art," Axelrod said. In Cavendish, Vt., she did a community based project where townspeople wrote about the town's three catastrophic floods. After Hurricane Irene again flooded the town, Axelrod got an email from a friend there saying they'd revived the play by adding a scene and would perform it over the Labor Day weekend. "'We're getting air drops of food but we're going to put on a play,'" Axelrod said of the town. "That's what community based art is all about."

ParagonX9 - Chaoz Airflow (175 bpm)
I thought it was time for a new chaoz song, So here is Chaoz Airflow yay.
My second submission for '09. It has almost the same style as Chaoz fantasy,
so um CF fans should like this one aswell =] (atleast.. i hope XD)
Have fun!! =]
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I liked it, but it was very...sega? Kinda flat and tinny. Maybe that was the style you were going for, but usually your stuff sounds so huge this just didn't compare. I didn't love Chaoz Fantasy either, so it's probably just a different style you're working in.
More Infiltration plz? :3
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Amazing, of course :3
I wouldn't expect anything less from you anyways.
5/5, 10/10, Downloaded
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
Generic drums, the synths sound like presets, and the overall melody and mood of the song feels uninspired and overdone. Try again.
I dunnow what happend, yesterday you've allready given me a zer0 review score.
now you have re-reviewed it cus it was deleted?
You guys are just trying to lower my scores lol.
Btw, no synth presets used here.
Kinda funny how jealous and desperate some people are.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Well that's strange,
I always thought you had died in a tragic beaver dam accident... you know now that I come to think of it that sounds pretty unbelievable. Oh well...
Anyways I happen to be logged in, so I think I'll review this. I think your NG fame is well deserved. I've always enjoyed your stuff on here, I remember back when the audio portal only used to play this stuff... anyways this is a good song, but I'm not one for music so I can't give you all these pointers like some of these other people can.

Tree tobacco (Nicotiana glauca) comes from Argentina, Paraguay, and Bolivia and is now a common plant in California. Tree tobacco should not be confused with smoking tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum). It is on the list of toxic plants in several states, including Texas, California, and North Carolina. Native Americans in some areas substitute it for native tobacco. To enhance the spiritual experience, tree tobacco is sometimes smoked by California Native Americans in combination with Datura wrightii, which may be dangerous as both plants induce respiratory depression.
Tree tobacco has been publicized as a safe, hallucinogenic plant on some internet websites. However, smoking or ingesting the plant has lead to death.
There is insufficient evidence in humans to support the use of tree tobacco for any indication.

Adults (18 years and older):
There is no proven safe or effective dose for tree tobacco. Traditionally, five or fewer fresh tree tobacco leaves have been used to induce hallucination (sacred dreams) or as an emetic (induces vomiting). For lice, a handful of chopped leaves steeped for an hour in a gallon of water, filtered, and sprayed on the skin has been used.
Children (younger than 18 years):
There is no proven safe or effective dose for tree tobacco, and use in children is not recommended.

Tupelo /ˈtuːpəloʊ/ is the county seat and the largest city of Lee County, Mississippi. It is also the seventh-largest city in the state. It is situated in northeast Mississippi, between Memphis, Tennessee, and Birmingham, Alabama, and is accessed by U.S. Route 78. As of the 2010 census, the population was 34,546, with the surrounding counties of Lee, Pontotoc and Itawamba supporting a population of 138,976.
The city is best known as the birthplace of Elvis Presley. As an infant in Tupelo in 1936, Presley survived a tornado that was ranked as the fourth deadliest in United States history and killed more than 230 people.
The United States is a country in the Northern Hemisphere, Western Hemisphere, and the Eastern Hemisphere. It consists of forty-eight contiguous states in North America, Alaska, a peninsula which forms the northwestern most part of North America, and Hawaii, an archipelago in the Pacific Ocean. There are several United States territories in the Pacific and Caribbean. The term "United States", when used in the geographical sense, means the continental United States, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Virgin Islands of the United States. The country shares land borders with Canada and Mexico and maritime (water) borders with Russia, Cuba, and the Bahamas in addition to Canada and Mexico.
The Jonesboro Metropolitan Statistical Area, as defined by the United States Census Bureau, is an area consisting of two counties – Craighead and Poinsett – in northeast Arkansas, anchored by the city of Jonesboro. As of the 2000 census, the MSA had a population of 107,762 (though a July 1, 2009 estimate placed the population at 120,139). It is also part of the larger Jonesboro-Paragould Combined Statistical Area.
The Southern United States—commonly referred to as the American South, Dixie, or simply the South—is an area comprising the southeastern and south-central United States. The region is known for its culture and history, having developed its own customs, musical styles and varied cuisines that have helped distinguish it in some ways from the rest of the United States. The Southern ethnic heritage is diverse and includes strong European (mostly English, Scotch-Irish and Scottish), African, and some Native American components. Several Southern states (Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia) were English Colonies that sent delegates to sign the Declaration of Independence and then fought against the English along with the Northern Colonists during the Revolutionary War. The basis for much Southern culture derives from the pride in these states being among the 13 original colonies (and much of the population of the South had fore-fathers who emigrated west from these colonies). Manners and customs reflect the early population of the South's relationship with England as well as that of Africa and to some extent the native populations.
Some other aspects of the historical and cultural development of the South have been influenced by an early support for the doctrine of states' rights, the institution of slave labor on plantations in the Lower South; the presence of a large proportion of African Americans in the population; and the legacy of the Civil War and Reconstruction Era, as seen in thousands of lynchings (mostly from 1880 to 1930), the segregated system of separate schools and public facilities known as "Jim Crow", that lasted until the 1960s, and the widespread use of poll taxes and other methods to frequently deny blacks of the right to vote or hold office until the 1960s. In more modern times, however, the South has become the most integrated region of the country and race-relations on par with those elsewhere. Since the late 1960s blacks have held and currently hold many high offices, such as mayor and police chief, in many cities such as Atlanta and New Orleans.]better source needed[
The Mississippi Blues Trail, created by the Mississippi Blues Commission, is a project to place interpretive markers at the most notable historical sites related to the growth of the blues throughout the state of Mississippi. The trail extends from the border of Louisiana in southern Mississippi and winds its way to Memphis, Tennessee. Several out of state markers, where the blues had significance, were also erected.
The Tupelo Micropolitan Statistical Area is a micropolitan area in northeastern Mississippi that covers three counties - Itawamba, Lee and Pontotoc. As of the 2000 census, the μSA had a population of 125,251 (though a July 1, 2009 estimate placed the population at 134,161).
The Confederate States of America (CSA), commonly referred to as the Confederate States (CS) or the Confederacy, was a government set up in 1861 by seven slave states of the Lower South that had declared their secession from the United States following the November 1860 election of Abraham Lincoln. Those seven states created a "confederacy" in February 1861 before Lincoln took office in March, and four of the Upper South were admitted after war began in April. The Confederacy later accepted two additional states as members (Missouri and Kentucky) although neither officially declared secession nor was ever controlled by Confederate forces.
The United States government (the Union) rejected secession and the Confederacy as illegal. The American Civil War began with the 1861 Confederate attack upon Fort Sumter, a fort in the Charleston, South Carolina, harbor, which was claimed by both sides. By 1865, after very heavy fighting, largely on Confederate soil, CSA forces were defeated and the Confederacy collapsed. No foreign nation officially recognized the Confederacy as an independent country, but several had granted belligerent status.

Looks more and more like Brad Miller is on the outside looking in. I see lots of positives, but consider that a huge negative.
He is gone.
Mike Markuson cna he coach TEs? Just kidding. I hope Bart Miller is kept in some capacity. It seems that he has the trust of the O-line.
"can he"
No suck luck there.
I really hope he keeps Miller, even if it's only for his help in recruiting the state guys. He did a hell of a job with the Oline after he inherited the initial mess, he's a Badger through and through, and the players really like playing for him.
Recruiting is where the future of this team is.
Sad "Miller Time" won't be retained, hopefully its just a slow response in hiring. Tell me GA is not bringing over Evan Simon (http://www.utahstateaggies.com/genrel/072909aab.html) as the Strength and Conditioning coach, does BA have any chance of retaining Herbert? I saw BB stating last week he's staying at "Wooo Pig Sooie High".
He will be gone.
barry, if anderson doesn't keep him, hire him for the athletic director's office. he seems to be a good problem solver!
Looking forward to next year!!!! like the new blood!
I agree with others that we need to keep Bart Miller in some capacity. Does he move back to graduate assistant (or whatever it's called)?
I'm wondering how hard it would be for Miller (or any OL coach) to transition to TE coach. -
Cram to understand the talking up of Miller? In the 3rd and 4th quarters of games against real defenses MSU, OSU(they were not even that good this year), PSU, Stanford, the o-line was horrible, to put it nicely.
Very much excited to see the 2013 Badger football team.
I do love "press release-speak" though. "Our style on offense will be very familiar to Wisconsin fans" is one of those phrases that makes you think there will be no changes with the offensive approach, but it actually does not say that. It could also mean "I'm sure you're familiar with the spread/read-option system Oregon used in last year's Rose Bowl. We intend to employ that same system".
I've been in the meetings where corporate press statements are made. The goal is to intimate to your audience what they want to hear, without commiting to anything.-
Even though I think the QB competition will be Stave vs. Houston with the edge to Houston if he is healthy, there may still be a role for Phillips should he come back with a read-option package as a changeup. He was impressive running the ball yesterday and I wish they had designe some run option plays for him.
Love your description of "press release" speak. As a veteran of nearly 40 year of corporate America, you may have been too nice. The goal is to put lipstick on all your pigs, lie convincingly as to your failures and always keep the CEO and spouse happy at all costs. -
Doesn't O'Brien also have a year left?
Yeah, and I'm sure Andersen will have a legitimate open competition but not betting on O'Brien.
I will refuse to get excited about next season until they get their butts out there and start recruiting players. Without good recruiting this program could go right down the tubes.
I agree they should get busy ans start the recruiting process as soon as possible.
Fire the Pig Farmer! Oh wait, he already fired himself and is in the mud in Ark Kansas! Good, we'll get a "fresh" start! No offense to the real pig farmers!
The pig farmer?

Topfest outfit
18 comments:
Outfit is great, but a single thing I don't like is your leggins :) I think it doesn't really suits to rest, but anyways, you're so cute as always! :) I do love your hair, so cool :) FINALLY the exam time at my university is over and it means: holidays :D Say hello to boys from the band and the family :)
ReplyDeleteHi Anette,
nice outfit and your hair is great. I really like the tress on both side. My hair is such long as yours but looks like more than Tuomas'. It is not so easy to handle curly hair but nature gave it and I love it.
I also like your eye-make up. It has a nice colour and fits your eye colour too. That plum? would not suite brown eyes, it makes tired.
Thanks for the photos!
Sleep wellHello Anette !
Wow,you look SO beautiful :D
I love your hairstyle,makeup and dress !
It fits you well :)
My little 8 year old brother saw your picture while I was in your Blog and he asked "Who is she ?" And I told him that you were a singer,and then he says that you are beautiful and that you are the most beautiful girl he ever saw. Haha it was so funny :D
Kisses and Hugs from Portugal

Official Title ICMJE | Surgical Interventions for Moderate Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation | ||||||||||||
Brief Summary | Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a procedure that people with coronary artery disease (CAD) may undergo to increase blood flow to the heart. During a CABG procedure, people who have a leak in one of the valves in the heart—the mitral valve—may at the same time undergo a procedure that repairs the valve. This study will evaluate whether people with moderate mitral valve leakage would be better off undergoing CABG plus the mitral valve repair procedure or undergoing CABG alone. |
Detailed Description | CAD occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart become blocked as a result of plaque buildup. In severe cases, CAD can cause chest pain, shortness of breath, and heart attack. CABG is one treatment option for people with CAD. During a CABG procedure, a healthy artery or vein from another part of the body is connected to the blocked coronary artery. Blood flow is then routed around the blockage to the heart. After a heart attack, some people may have a leak in the mitral valve of the heart. This condition is known as ischemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) and is associated with poor health outcomes, including worsening heart failure. In people with severe mitral valve leakage, the CABG procedure and a mitral valve repair procedure are routinely performed together; however, in people with only moderate valve leakage, there is no consensus in the medical community as to whether the mitral valve repair procedure is beneficial at the time of CABG. The purpose of this study is to determine whether people with moderate mitral valve regurgitation should undergo a mitral valve repair procedure in addition to CABG or undergo CABG alone. This study will enroll people with CAD who require a CABG procedure and have moderate mitral regurgitation. At a baseline study visit, participants will undergo a physical examination; blood collection; neurocognitive tests; and questionnaires regarding medical history, medication history, and quality of life. In the operating room, participants will be randomly assigned to undergo either CABG surgery and the mitral valve repair procedure or only CABG surgery. Blood, urine, and tissue samples may be collected from participants after the surgery; this is optional and will only be done with prior approval from participants. All participants will attend study visits at Months 6, 12, and 24. At each visit, participants will take part in a medication history review, a physical examination, an echocardiogram, a cardiopulmonary exercise test, neurocognitive tests, and quality of life surveys. |

The Daily News' Flip Bondy took a tour of the Mets' new Hall of Fame inside Citi Field, and it sounds pretty nice:
It's hard to be pompous when you have the Mets' modest history.
Luckily, that isn't the feel or intent of this Hall of Fame, which has a
refreshing, lighthearted feel. The Mets aren't the Yankees. They don't hit you over the head with their
two championship teams, with their eulogies, or with their
pronouncements about being the greatest sports franchise in the world.That would be silly, instead of fun. And this museum is a lot of fun.
There's something about the words "Hall of Fame" that causes everyone's sphincters to tighten. Cooperstown does a good job because it's dealing with the weight of all of baseball history, but most other halls of fame I've visited — baseball and otherwise — seem to go way too heavy and serious. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame may be the worst one around. When you're taking torn up jeans and scrawled lyric sheets that once belonged to the Clash and displaying them in hermetically-sealed glass cases in a pristine and antiseptic room, you've sort of lost the connection to the history you're trying to venerate.
The Mets' place sounds fun. Which, recent drama notwithstanding, the Mets usually have been throughout their history. Good for them for getting it right.
- Tim Gatins - Apr 5, 2010 at 11:49 AM
I miss the fun. Can we get back the fun losers of my youth to replace the disinterested "winners' of today?
- Mike Fay - Apr 5, 2010 at 12:07 PM
I had the chance to go through the Mets Hall of Fame yesterday as part of their pre-season workout and they did a fantastic job celebrating their history. It will be the most visited place in the park this year.
- Rib - Apr 5, 2010 at 12:42 PM
There's something about the words "Hall of Fame" that causes everyone's sphincters to tighten.
Actually, it was the words "sphincters to tighten" that caused my sphincter to tighten.

Well, the Mutts pounded my Feesh today while I was on the road…er…in the sky, actually, headed for Knoxville. I land and see that Josh Johnson got drubbed while the bullpen performed pretty well for the most part, but that Gaby Sanchez got hisself some hits, which is pretty reassuring. I doubt if the front end of the Feesh rotation will be that bad ongoing, doubt more if the pen will be that good, and doubt if the Mutts will know much joy on days their ace doesn't pitch. Even so, after last night's delicious Sox-Borg opener, I feel like the season is well and truly underway, the hotel has ESPN, Fox Sports and a batch of games on tonight, and that's a nifty treatment for my jet lag.

Louis Jay "Lou" Pearlman (born June 19, 1954) is an American impresario of successful 1990s boy bands such as the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC. In 2006, it was discovered that Pearlman had perpetrated one of the largest and longest-running Ponzi schemes in American history, leaving more than $300 million in debts. After getting caught on the run, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy, money laundering, and making false statements during a bankruptcy proceeding. In 2008, Pearlman was convicted and sentenced to up to 25 years in prison.[3][4][5][6]
Early life and career[edit]
Lou Pearlman was born and raised in Flushing, Queens, the only child of Jewish parents Hy Pearlman, who ran a dry cleaning business, and Reenie Pearlman, a school lunchroom aide. Pearlman is a first cousin of Art Garfunkel. His home at Mitchell Gardens Apartments was located across from Flushing Airport, where he and childhood friend Alan Gross would watch blimps take off and land. According to Pearlman's autobiography, Bands, Brands, & Billions, it was during this period that he used his position on his school newspaper to earn credentials and get his first ride in a blimp. (This version of events is disputed by Gross, who claims he was the school reporter, and allowed Pearlman to tag along.)[7][8]
His cousin Garfunkel's fame and wealth helped fire Pearlman's own interest in the music business. As a teenager he managed a band, but when success in music proved elusive, he turned his attention to aviation. During his first year as a student at Queens College, Pearlman wrote a business plan for a class project based on the idea of a helicopter taxi service in New York City. By the late 1970s, he had launched the business based on his business plan, starting with one helicopter.[9] He convinced German businessman Theodor Wüllenkemper to train him on blimps and subsequently spent some time at Wüllenkemper's facilities in Germany learning about the airships.
Suspicions of insurance fraud and pump & dump[edit]
Returning to the United States, Pearlman formed Airship Enterprises Ltd, which leased a blimp to Jordache before actually owning one. He used the funds from Jordache to construct a blimp, which promptly crashed. The two parties sued each other, and seven years later Pearlman was awarded $2.5 million in damages. On the advice of a friend, Pearlman started a new company, Airship International, taking it public to raise the $3 million he needed to purchase a blimp, claiming (falsely) that he had a partnership with Wüllenkemper. He leased the blimp to McDonald's for advertising.[7][8]
He then relocated Airship International to Orlando in July 1991, where he signed MetLife and SeaWorld as clients for his blimps. Airship International suffered when one of its clients left and three of the aircraft crashed. The company's stock, which had once been pumped up to $6 a share, dropped to a price of 3 cents a share, and the company was shut down:[10][11]
After he took his air charter company, Airship International, public in 1985, Pearlman became personally and professionally close to Jerome Rosen, a partner at small-cap trading outfit Norbay Securities. Based in Bayside, Queens, and frequently in trouble with regulators, Norbay actively traded Airship stock. This sent Airship's stock price consistently higher, enabling Pearlman to sell hundreds of thousands of shares and warrants at ever-higher prices. However, Airship was reporting little revenue, cash flow or net income. In return for keeping his penny stock liquid, Pearlman allegedly paid Rosen handsome commissions, according to a mutual friend, that reached into 'the tens of thousands of dollars' per trade.[10]
—Roddy Boyd, New York Post
Entertainment industry career[edit]
Pearlman became fascinated with the success of the New Kids on the Block, who had made hundreds of millions of dollars in record, tour and merchandise sales. He started Trans Continental Records with the intent of mimicking their boy-band business model. The label's first band, the Backstreet Boys, consisted of five unknown performers selected by Pearlman in a $3 million[12] talent search. Management duties were assigned to a former New Kids on the Block manager, Johnny Wright, and his wife Donna.[13] The Backstreet Boys went on to become the best-selling boy band of all time, with 130 million record sales under their belt,[14] hitting gold, platinum, and diamond in 45 different countries. Pearlman and the Wrights then repeated this formula almost exactly with the band NSYNC, which sold over 55 million records globally.
With these two major successes under his belt, Pearlman had become a music mogul. Other boy bands managed by Pearlman were O-Town (created during the ABC–MTV reality TV series Making the Band), LFO, Take 5, Natural and US5, as well as the girl group Innosense (with Britney Spears in the very beginning as a short-time member), co-managed with Lynn Harless (the mother of *NSYNC band member Justin Timberlake). Other artists on the Trans Continental label included Aaron Carter, Jordan Knight, Smilez & Southstar and C-Note. Pearlman also owned a large entertainment complex in Orlando, including a recording studio he called Trans Continental Studios, and a dance studio by Disney World named "O-Town".[10]
Lou Pearlman also was an officer at TAG Entertainment.The independent film company TAG Entertainment produced some low-budget yet profitable movies and DVDs.
Band lawsuits[edit]
With the exception of US5, all of the musical acts who have worked with Pearlman have sued him in Federal Court for misrepresentation and fraud. All cases against Pearlman have either been won by those who have brought lawsuits against him, or have been settled out of court. All cases have also ended with a confidentiality agreement, meaning none of the parties are allowed to discuss Pearlman's practices in detail.[8]
The members of Backstreet Boys were the first to file a lawsuit against Pearlman, feeling that their contract — under which Pearlman collected as both manager and producer — was unfair, since Pearlman was also paid as a sixth member of the Backstreet Boys (i.e., one-sixth of the band's own income). The band's dissatisfaction began when member Brian Littrell hired a lawyer to determine why the group had received only $300,000 for all of their work, while Pearlman and his record company had made millions. Fellow boy band *NSYNC was having similar issues with Pearlman, and its members soon followed suit.[8]
At the age of 14, pop star Aaron Carter filed a lawsuit in 2002 that accused Pearlman and Trans Continental Records of cheating him out of hundreds of thousands of dollars and of racketeering in a deliberate pattern of criminal activity. This suit was later settled out of court.[15]
In a January 2009 interview on Howard Stern's radio show, LFO frontman Rich Cronin described Pearlman's alleged inappropriate sexual conduct.[16] However, fellow LFO band member Brad Fischetti expressed sympathy for "his friend" Lou Pearlman in a 2007 AOL.com Music interview, in which he made no mention of sexual improprieties.[17] As of late November 2011, Nick Carter had not confirmed his mother's statements regarding Pearlman, and in a later interview, when asked if true, he chose his words carefully when he spoke, but he seemed to hint that bitterness might be a motivating factor for the sexual gossip.[18] In an interview conducted by the Orlando Sentinel, former *NSYNC member Lance Bass, when asked about the Vanity Fair article, stated that Pearlman had never behaved inappropriately with them.[19]
Talent scouting scandal[edit]
In September 2002, Pearlman purchased Mark Tolner's internet-based talent company, Options Talent Group f/k/a Sector Communications (previously named Emodel and Studio 58), which would then go through several names including Trans Continental Talent, TCT, Wilhelmina Scouting Network (WSN), Web Style Network, Fashion Rock and Talent Rock. Regardless of the name, all incarnations were based on the business model used by Emodel founder Ayman el Difrawi (aka Alec Defrawy), himself a convicted conman,[20] who played a principal role in running Options / TCT / WSN[21] and setting up Fashion Rock. The companies received unfavorable press attention, ranging from questions about their business practices to outright declarations that they were scams.[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30]
After Hotjobs and Monster.com pulled over a thousand of the company's job ads from their boards,[31] they were further advertised on the Difrawi-founded[32] "Industry Magazine" website. The Better Business Bureau's opinion about Options / TCT / WSN was negative (a "pattern of complaints concerning misrepresentation in selling practices").[33] The New York State Consumer Protection Board issued an alert, naming it the largest example they had found of a photo mill scam[34] (in which agencies force models to shoot portfolios with photographers on their own payrolls), and a state senator called it trying "to make a quick, dishonest dollar".[35]
The San Francisco labor commissioner declared it in violation of California law, and several state agencies were reported to be investigating.[36] In Florida, around 2,000 complaints were filed with the then-Attorney General Charlie Crist and the Better Business Bureau, and an investigation was started by Assistant AG Dowd. However, no charges were filed, as the newly appointed Assistant AG MacGregor was unable to find "any substantial violations" and the company had declared bankruptcy, "leaving no deep pockets to collect damages from."[37][38]
By June 2004, Fashion Rock, LLC had filed a civil suit for defamation against some who had criticized Pearlman's talent businesses. The case was dismissed and closed in 2006.[39][40] One of the accused, Canadian consumer-fraud expert Les Henderson, successfully pursued a libel lawsuit against Pearlman, Tolner, El-Difrawi and several others.[41][42][43]
Fashion Rock, LLC lived on until February 2, 2007,[44][45] when its assets were sold in Pearlman's bankruptcy proceeding.[46][47] Mr. Difrawi continued filing lawsuits that all got dismissed and currently runs Expand, Inc. dba Softrock.org aka Employer Network, from the same address as former TCT.
The Ponzi scheme[edit]
In 2006 investigators discovered Pearlman had perpetrated a long-running Ponzi scheme that defrauded investors out of more than $300 million. For more than 20 years, Pearlman had enticed individuals and banks to invest in Trans Continental Airlines Travel Services Inc. and Trans Continental Airlines Inc., both of which existed only on paper.[48] Pearlman used falsified Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, AIG and Lloyd's of London documents to win investors' confidence in his "Employee Investment Savings Account" (EISA) program, and he used fake financial statements created by the fictitious accounting firm Cohen and Siegel to secure bank loans.[8]
In February 2007, Florida regulators announced that Pearlman's Trans Continental Savings Program was indeed a massive fraud and the state took possession of the company.[49] Most of the at least $95 million which was collected from investors was gone. Orange County Circuit Judge Renee Roche ordered Pearlman and two of his associates, Robert Fischetti and Michael Crudelle, to bring back to the United States "any assets taken abroad which were derived from illegal transactions."[50]
Following a flight from officials, Pearlman was arrested in Indonesia on June 14, 2007 after being spotted by a German tourist couple.[51] Pearlman was then indicted by a federal grand jury on June 27, 2007.[52] Specifically, Pearlman was charged with three counts of bank fraud, one count of mail fraud and one count of wire fraud.
Conviction and sentencing[edit]
On May 21, 2008, Pearlman was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison, after pleading guilty to charges of conspiracy, money laundering, and making false statements during a bankruptcy proceeding. U.S. District Judge G. Kendall Sharp gave Pearlman the chance to cut his prison time, by offering to reduce the sentence by one month for every million dollars he helped a bankruptcy trustee recover. He also ordered that individual investors were to be paid before institutions in distributing any eventual assets.[53][54]
Pearlman is serving his sentence with a projected release of March 24, 2029.

"Interesting First-Person Narrative"
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand better Ishiguro's world. This book explores the difficulty of evaluating the past (especially one's own past) because of the complexity of human motivation and the social and historical forces influencing the decisions people make.
There are similar themes in The Remains of the Day, especially the theme of self-delusion.
The Bridge of Hesitation
"as beautiful as a japanese painting."
a beautiful shiort novella (206 pages) with delightful characters. there's just enough of the japanese culture for us westerners to understand it but not so much to loose us in it.

Catcher Ryan Lavarnway homered yet again on Thursday. He's hitting .514 with seven homers in his last nine games for Triple-A Pawtucket.
Lavarnway, a 2008 sixth-round pick out of Yale, has been on a tear since the day the Red Sox traded Michael McKenry to to the Pirates to clear a spot for him on Pawtucket's roster. He's hit .377/.445/.746 with 12 doubles, 12 homers and 33 RBI in 34 games in the International League, and he's up to 26 homers in 338 at-bats for the season overall.
This isn't coming out of nowhere. Lavarnway hit .285/.367/.540 with 21 homers and 87 RBI at low Single-A Greenville in 2009 and .288/.393/.489 with 22 homers and 102 RBI between high-A Salem and Double-A Portland last season. Still, he wasn't taken very seriously as a prospect because of his defensive issues. Lavarnway didn't start catching until he was a sophomore at Yale, and most don't believe he'll stick behind the plate in the majors.
The Red Sox, for what it's worth, continue to claim otherwise, and it doesn't appear to be a gimmick to enhance his trade value. But even if they're wrong, with what Lavarnway has showed this year, there's now some hope that he'll be able to make it in the majors as a first baseman or designated hitter. The 24-year-old is tied for fourth in the minors in homers, even though he's played in pitcher's leagues. His Triple-A OPS is 1.191. The next highest mark for anyone to get 100 at-bats in the International League this year is Trevor Plouffe's 1.019.
It doesn't sound like there are any plans for the Red Sox to make room for him at the major league level. The duo of Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Jason Varitek has been very good since an awful April, and there's really no room for Lavarnway to contribute elsewhere. Still, he is now in a position to step in at catcher or DH should Salty, Varitek or David Ortiz land on the DL. And he'll definitely get a look in September, even if it's just in a pinch-hitting role.

I got to see Lavarnway play in Manchester last season when the Sea Dogs were in town to play the Fisher Cats. Unbelievable hitter.

Smart kid , should be a great in the bigs. BUT , while his triple A stats are very very impressive , we won't know how great he will be for a few years , Rizzo was on a tear in triple A , got called up , and didn't do very well at all , both kids are still young , and should have good careers , but realistically we probably won't know for a couple more years.
- natstowngreg - Jul 22, 2011 at 6:28 PM
Could it be, the Red Sox say he will remain at catcher because they don't have many alternatives in their organization? Just curious.
- scapistron - Jul 22, 2011 at 7:46 PM
1. Rizzo was tearing up the PCL, the most hitter friendly environment around. Check out Wily Mo's line for the diamondbacks AAA affiliate.
2. The sox system is very crowded with 1st base / DH types. There is no rush to move him along. they will let him continue to catch because even with below average defense he provides considerable value (think V. Martinez).
3. They have a good defensive prospect catching at AA too.
4. What happened to Montero?
5. I feel like an @$$ using a list like this

Methinks Varitek is good for at least one more full season, 2012. That gives Lavarnway at least one more year to improve his defensive skills and proficiency. But, as has been posted, I'm sure we'll get a good look at Lavarway come September for no other reason than his bat.

Now Playing
Unwind (Vol 15) |
This mix was inspired by the opening track by Pete Alderton from his 2006 album "Living On Love":
"You know it doesn't matter. It's not the possessions what you have in life, it doesn't matter if you've got a lot of money, It doesn't matter if you drive a big fat car. At the end of the day we are all living on love, all of us. That's it"
I believe in this. Everything we do is driven by love, whether it's our love for that special someone or our love of what we do or what we stand for. It just makes life that more colourful and worth living.
This is mostly an up-beat "happy" kind of mix that's best played when you're in the mood for love or you're feeling optimistic and positive about something in your life. |
