Toward the Terra DVD Complete Collection (S) - Anime Legends
Carolyn Thomas - Jan 2 2010
Rating: Pretty good!
Great sci-fi series, a must see
Sci-fi and Shojo are two genres that rarely mix, but when they do, the result is almost always something unique, original, and engaging that usually involves psychics to some degree. Toward the Terra has all of this and does it well. This 2007 series was based on a late 70s manga that had already gotten a movie of it made in the 80s, so one might expect the whole thing to feel stretched out given that neither of the other versions are particularly long, but the story really doesn't feel either rushed or stretched. It moves at a blistering pace to be sure and something is always happening to further the plot, but it never feels too fast either. My one complaint is with some of the characters who don't feel like they get developed as much as they should be or that they get developed off screen, but the story, setting, music, and interesting character interactions more than make up for it. My one major complaint is that this is one of the victims of the wave of sub-only releases. The subs are still good and are legible without being too big or long, but I wish Bandai would get back to dubbing things. The manga that the series is based off of is a shonen, but this series still feel more sci-fi shojo to me.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is readying ambitious, big-money bids for Wayne Rooney and Luis Suarez since the strikers\' futures are still uncertain at Old Trafford and Anfield, respectively.
London: Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is readying ambitious, big-money bids for Wayne Rooney and Luis Suarez since the strikers' futures are still uncertain at Old Trafford and Anfield, respectively.
According to CaughtOffside, the returning Stamford Bridge manager is keen to re-shuffle his attacking line-up.
The West London club is also interested in Napoli striker Edinson Cavani, but it is believed that Mourinho is pushing for the acquisition of two proven Premier League goal-scorers.
Chelsea are willing to offer Rooney a salary in excess of his current £250k-a-week deal and are ready to stump up an opening offer of £30m in the knowledge that offers from other prospective suitors are bound to follow, which could lead to a bidding war Mourinho is determined to win.
For his part, Rooney is believed to be interested in the prospect of working with the former FC Porto, Inter Milan and Real Madrid boss.
Mourinho will also look to make the most of another striker's apparently shaky future by plotting a £40m bid for Liverpool marksman Luis Suarez.
The Uruguayan has repeatedly stated his intention to leave Anfield this summer, making several references to his desire to leave the Merseyside club, citing press intrusion and a sense of victimisation from the English FA as reasons for his wish to make a Liverpool exit.
However, in reality, it may well be Liverpool's inability to make up ground in their pursuit of a coveted Champions League berth that may be a more pressing reason for Suarez's push to leave the club. The chance of a move to Chelsea may tempt the 26-year-old forward, who netted 30 goals in all competitions last term.
It is believed Chelsea are ready to sanction a contract offer of as much as £200k-a-week to lure Suarez to Chelsea.

Nowadays, it is very difficult to afford everything you want on a static amount of income. That is why America's selected cities which are the most vivacious sites prove to be roughest on pensioners
They're regularly more costly, for instance, with advanced rentals and more luxurious restaurants. Tax charges also high in metropolitan areas along with being unsafe.
Here, in descendent order, are 10 of the worst retirement states for senior citizens:
Kentucky's little charge of living is stress-free on the financial plan, and has an exquisite basketball court.The major problem for its citizens is the state's fitness upkeep structure and small wellness notches.
The main hit on Maryland is that it's extra costly to reside there,comparatively. The price of living for pensioners is particularly high, and citizens pay one of the uppermost tax charges in the nation.
It also got low marks for health upkeep value, and its corruption rate is beyond average.
Oklahoma's residents scored Oklahoma very low in their analysis about their emotive bodily health and safety. Oklahoma's corruption rate is one of the uppermost in the state. It also contains one of the poorest health care structures in the nation, giving to an administration investigation.
Louisiana is a comparatively inexpensive place to inhabit, with a low tax load and low charge of residing. It's everything remaining that's hard-press edit to the bottommost of the list.
Corruption is a delinquent in Louisiana and it also displayed low health maintenance quality marks and a little level on the "Gallup-Healthways'" review.
The climate can also be intolerable, particularly in the summer.
Alabama was knocked out by meager health upkeep quality and a "Gallup-Healthways'" review presented puny emotional and bodily fitness among populaces.
Alabama's corruption degree is greater than normal, and its climate is characteristically uneasily warm and moist.
If it weren't for the excessive price of incarnating, Hawaii could be one of the finest cities in the nation for pensioners. Its aloofness, widespread beaches, nature and philosophy mark it as a highest sightseeing destination.
It also is hard to afford, particularly for anybody on permanent revenue.
Arkansas is the seventh-inexpensive abode to live for pensioners but has the third-greatest corruption rate and the sixth-least score for wellness. It also had more than average national and homegrown taxes.
It's one of the greatest moist states in the nation as well, which can make it a rough home to live throughout summer.
Alaska's national and native tax load is the second-least in the country.Alaska obtains some of the lower most totals in the state for health upkeep quality. It's, too, one of the greatest costly states, by a price of living that's behind hand of only Hawaii.
West Virginia
The Highland State places burden on its pensioners in numeral ways. Its health upkeep system, for instance, is measured by the administration to be one of the poorest, and its wellness notch is at the lowest of the mound.
New York
The Big Apple is domiciliary to closely half of the country's residents, and the town's great taxes and price of residing has pressed the whole state into the actual lowest of Bank rate's position of vilest states for pensioners.
The climate can be quite coarse, with frosty winters and the possibility for hurricanes in future.

Windy lake, want family sailboat
We want a boat for a quite windy lake (20 mph is common, very popular with windsurfers) that is "family friendly" -- it will be very hard to capsize and is easy to rig. The lake is quite cold, and I have children 3, 5, 7. I grew up sailing on 420s, windsurf now, but don''t know anything about a boat that would handle 2 adults and 2 kids, but would be very stable. I don''t want a "big" boat (lake is 1 mile by 5) so I''d also take a boat that could handle less people, but is still stable. We have a dock, so keels of 6 feet or so easily handled. Suggestions welcomed!
Windy lake, want family sailboat
For stability with the kids, I was going to suggest an Ideal 18, but with that much breeze you might be overpowered often, and the keel could make launching and hauling out an adventure on such a small lake. A Lightning would be big enough for the family and still provide some performance for you, but again, the sail area might be too much until the children get bigger, to help hold it down. Rhodes 19''s or O''Day Daysailors might be good options for you. They''re quite stable, (difficult to capsize, have good sized cockpits, and also cuddies, in case someone needs to get out of the sun or wind.

New Americans – Citizenship and Integration Initiative: On the Road in Atlanta
A few short weeks ago, I, along with my colleague Laura Patching from the Office of Citizenship within U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and Robin Jones from the Office of Refugee Resettlement, had the pleasure of hosting a roundtable discussion in Atlanta that brought together community and faith-based organizations, advocacy groups, and local and regional government officials.
The purpose of this roundtable was to hear and learn from community leaders to identify best practices and introduce new ideas about what the federal government can do to help refugee and immigrant populations and the communities where they settle and thrive. The event was a part of the New Americans Citizenship and Integration Initiative roundtable series.
Our roundtable participants discussed the growing educational needs of new Americans in their new communities, and in turn, the need for increased educational programming. They stressed that integration is an on-going process that extends beyond an individual immigrant or refugee's naturalization. We rearticulated the President's commitment to helping new Americans thrive and develop the skills they need to contribute more fully to their communities and build a dynamic, vibrant future.
We are deeply appreciative of all the representatives who joined in our meeting for the discussion and to our host organization, the Center for Pan Asian Community Services. These types of discussions are occurring across America through the White House New Americans – Citizenship and Integration Initiative. It is our hope that learning what really works on the local level can better inform our policy and programmatic decisions on the federal level.
We believe that community leaders around the country are doing great work to integrate new immigrants into their communities and we want to know about it.
Eskinder Negash currently serves as the Director of the Office of Refugee Resettlement at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

A single-flux-quantum (SFQ) device provides fast operation with low power consumption. As SFQ devices can be applied in network switches requiring high throughput, we have been developing an SFQ network switch system. Not only the switch fabric but also the switch scheduler is a key component for a high-throughput network switch. The switch scheduler orders multiple inputs to a single output at the same time to prevent collisions from occurring in the switch fabric. The scheduling time becomes longer as the number of switch ports increases, because the scheduler must scan requests from all input ports. We designed two types of 4-port arbiters (i.e. switch scheduler sub-circuits) with structures based on serial or parallel processing. We chose to implement and demonstrate the serial arbiter because it has a smaller number of gates. It consisted of about 1800 Josephson junctions, including on-chip test circuitry. We tested a fabricated circuit at high speed and confirmed its correct operation at 40 GHz.

Fantastic work and progress Kontramax – thoroughly well deserved!
I never look at the Top seller list cos` its always the same ,P&K say a month (like i listen to the man,yaaa…. right he wish ) ago it will be opportunity for some here with all the top seller moving on from here ,I think you prove it .
Well done man
^ kontramax's sales are due to different reason; its rock-solid fitness on seasonal animation demand. Not due to other top sellers moving outside. In fact in the near future (after iPad3 release), sadly there will be no concept of top-sales in AD. Recently we are able to see new authors coming up with good files but sales isn't encouraging, so it doesn't seems there is an opportunity because of low competition.
On topic – I hope kontramax will hit another 1000 just in the coming month!
^ If you say so… .
But there is a different submitting a file then not submitting at all…… But i agree new files sells are just horrible no matter what file you submit…my days are number here ……
WOW ! Only now see that I am in top! Cool! With compare in year ago, this november was a less sales, but little more earnings, because probably few new files I have now. Some numbers:
November 2010 409 Sales $1,6k
November 2011 361 Sales $1,64k
Its Great! But all the rest months in year is very low sales due to my seasonal animations. With lower sales tendency soon need to change my profession.. Retrain to night stricter and learn html5 probably? Ohh, I am too old for this.. Future is foggy..

Jewish Chronicle
Deborah Dash Moore tells [the] unique story [of 15 Jewish GIs] with eloquence and restraint.
— Irma Kurtz
Whether they came from Sioux Falls or the Bronx, over half a million Jews entered the U.S. armed forces during the Second World War. Uprooted from their working- and middle-class neighborhoods, they joined every branch of the military and saw action on all fronts. Deborah Dash Moore offers an unprecedented view of the struggles these GI Jews faced, having to battle not only the enemy but also the prejudices of their fellow soldiers.
Through memoirs, oral histories, and letters, Moore charts the lives of fifteen young Jewish men as they faced military service and tried to make sense of its demands. From confronting pork chops to enduring front-line combat, from the temporary solace of Jewish worship to harrowing encounters with death camp survivors, we come to understand how these soldiers wrestled with what it meant to be an American and a Jew.
Moore shows how military service in World War II transformed this generation of Jews, reshaping Jewish life in America and abroad. These men challenged perceptions of Jews as simply victims of the war, and encouraged Jews throughout the diaspora to fight for what was right. At the same time, service strengthened Jews' identification with American democratic ideals, even as it confirmed the importance of their Jewish identity. GI Jews is a powerful, intimate portrayal of the costs of a conflict that was at once physical, emotional, and spiritual, as well as its profound consequences for these hitherto overlooked members of the "greatest generation."
Deborah Dash Moore tells [the] unique story [of 15 Jewish GIs] with eloquence and restraint.
— Irma Kurtz
Moore has produced a lucid account of Jewish military service during World War II, telling her tale largely through the experiences of 15 Jewish soldiers, including her own father...Deborah Dash Moore ably conveys the subtleties and intricacies of why my father and others serving during World War II did not surrender or feel compelled to hide their Jewishness. Throughout her narrative, she points out that military service empowered these young men as Jews as well as Americans.
— Judy Bolton-Fasman
The great surprise of the season in World War II books is Deborah Dash Moore's wonderful GI Jews: How World War II Changed a Generation...It is an enjoyable read. Moore, a Vassar professor, writes well and knows how to tell a story...She has an eye for interesting characters and for what makes them interesting...She keeps up a lively pace and intersperses evocative vignettes with insightful analysis of what these Jewish troops' experiences meant to them, their families, their communities and the nation as a whole...For postwar generations, her book reveals how the experience of the war changed the generation that fought it and why it helped launch the civil rights movement, the Great Society and America's rise to global predominance. GI Jews should not be missed by anyone with an interest in World War II or the history of the American people.
— Kenneth M. Pollack
Moore's history demonstrates just how significant soldiering was to the full acceptance of Jews in the U.S....[A] trenchant and fluent book...As Moore deftly weaves a narrative from the varied experiences of her informants—tracking them from Hitler's invasion of Poland in 1939 to battlefield victory and the liberation of the death camps in 1945—she refuses to merely celebrate. Her book includes instances of anti-Semitism in boot camp here and on the fronts overseas. In one especially searing moment, a Jewish chaplain is excluded from an ecumenical memorial service after the battle for Iwo Jima because he is an outspoken foe of racial segregation in the American military. Such unclouded vision makes Moore all the more credible in describing the more-common process of Jews proving their mettle to gentiles and securing their place in a more-tolerant postwar America.

The recent case of Greb v. Diamond International Corp. highlights the need for dissolved corporations and their insurers to consider the survival statute of their state of incorporation when defending against actions brought in California.
In Greb, the California Supreme Court held that California law does not preclude the application of a foreign jurisdiction's survival statute. The defendant, a Delaware corporation, argued that Delaware's three-year survival statute barred the action. Plaintiffs contended that California corporate law – which places no time limit on suits against dissolved corporations – governed their suit.
The trial court agreed with the defendant and sustained its demurrer with prejudice on the grounds that Delaware's survival statute barred the action which was filed more than three years after defendant dissolved. The court of appeal affirmed.
The Supreme Court unanimously affirmed the appellate court's judgment. The opinion, authored by Chief Justice Cantil-Sakauye, rejected plaintiffs' arguments that foreign corporations that qualified to do business in California were thereby organized under the laws of California.
The court found "no evidence" that the legislature intended to accomplish that "dramatic result." Furthermore, "such a scheme would require foreign corporations to 'follow a litany of requirements regarding various corporate activities that their home state already regulates.'"

Special Announcement from Greg Tonn!
As you've probably heard by now, Into The Music was the high bidder for the CBC Winnipeg music library: about 16,000 LPs & 26,000 CDs. Just to put that into perspective, that addition doubles our vinyl inventory and triples the CD stock we have on the floor right now! In case you didn't see it in the Wpg Free Press on Tuesday, Rob Williams wrote a spot on and accurate summary of what happened to make all this a reality. Check out his article HERE. As you can tell from the picture that accompanies the WFP article, we now have the collection at our storage site.
As a side bar to the article, on the morning the picture was taken (and proof positive that I can smile for a 7:30AM photo op) I picked up a rental and drove to Regina. My goal was to explore the option of making an offer on the CBC Regina record and CD library, one of the few CBC libraries that has yet to be decommissioned. And on the morning that the WFP article hit the stands, I got a call from Regina informing us that again we were the high bidder and our offer had been accepted. WE WILL SOON GET THE CBC REGINA COLLECTION. If anything it's vinyl content is comparable to Winnipeg though the CD numbers are significantly higher and include over 6000 classical and 1700 jazz CDs (there were no classical or jazz CDs in the Wpg collection, having been previously donated to a local University).
We have certain challenges ahead. The process will be a little different for the Regina collection. Instead of bringing every single piece back to Wpg, we'll sort and come back with what will be of greatest interest to our customers. The rest will be donated. And of course the biggest question is how are we going to get all this out and available for sale as quickly as possible. Watch this newsletter for updates on how during this 25th Anniversary year we are going to do just that (with perhaps a few surprises).
For those of you who would like to continue trading or selling your used CDs & vinyl don't be discouraged. During these last few weeks we've been a little overwhelmed organizing our storage facility, changing the work flow to get more stock out and setting up our new eBay store (search for us on eBay at Into The Music Winnipeg). WE ARE BUYING STOCK AGAIN NEXT WEEK, JUNE 25th to JUNE 29th FOR ONE WEEK ONLY. After that I'm off to Regina to pack up the CBC collection and facilitate the move of 200 more boxes back to Wpg. We will be buying again shortly after the week of July 9th, again watch this space for further details.
There is nothing but good news right now. With the summer here, the Jazz Fest under way with the Fringe and Folk Fests to come, this is looking to be our best year ever. These collections represent the best opportunity for us to grow and expand our business during a time when record & CD store across Canada and the world continue to struggle and indeed close. We've succeeded because of the great support we've had from everyone reading this newsletter and music collectors everywhere.
More to come.

Don Van Vliet aka Capt. Beefheart
Don Van Vliet aka Capt. Beefheart
Jan. 15th 1941-Dec. 17th 2010
Plans for Captain Beefhearts 70's birthday event at Into The Music have taken a sad turn this week with news of the great man's passing last Friday. A long time sufferer of multiple sclerosis, he succumbed to complications of this incredibly debilitating disease.
If you grew up curious about the music of the 60's and 70's rock, especially the rock underground, you're at least familiar with the name Captain Beefheart. While he's never had anything approaching a hit album, his influence is all over the rock landscape, from punk to post-rock. His first album was Safe As Milk, a blues based workout that while perhaps being his most accessible outing, already had the unique vocal growl and hints of the disjointed rhythmic primitivism that was the sonic fingerprint of all his later output. A few years later Trout Mask Replica hit and the legend and myth of Captain Beefheart had been cemented for all-time. The most obvious thing you could say was that nobody else sounded like him, his voice and band sound was unmistakable. The blues inflections and homage to Howlin' Wolf were apparent. But he appeared like his contemporary and former class and band mate Frank Zappa during the mid 60's rock scene. Breaking from conventional pop forms and inventing itself, "anything goes" seem to be in the air, the avant garde, free jazz the blues and the good man's background as a childhood art prodigy informed his trajectory like nobody else.
Some of my favorite lyrics include:
That's right, the Mascara Snake. Fast and bulbous.
Big eyed beans from venus,
Tropical Hot Dog Night
Like two flamingoes in a fruit fight
...I could go on and on. When Doc At The Radar Station came out in 1980, it fit in with the incredible stuff coming out at the time and fit in perfectly with my new life in Calgary. Hot Head, Ashtray Heart, Run Paint Run Run got played along with Talking Heads Remain in Light and The Buzzcocks A Different Kind of Tension, Iggy's New Values and Joy Divisions Closer.
During the summer of 1994 I went with friends to the UK to visit their friends in Scotland and eventually get a bit of time to myself in London. One of the first things I did in London was check out the NME to see what was going on around town. The only item that really caught my eye was an art exhibit in Brighton, a coastal tourist town a couple hours drive from the downtown. It was for a solo art exhibit for Don Van Vliet displaying his talents as a modern art painter in the tradition of Abstract Expressionism. A bit too expensive on my limited budget at the time, I accepted that this was one exhibit I would have to miss. On the day my charter was to leave Heathrow, I was informed technical problems would delay my flight about 12 hours so the airline put us all on a bus and took us to Brighton for the day. Incredible. It was destiny really and I was off the bus in a flash and tracked down The Brighton Museum and Art Gallery in minutes. I knew of his reputation as an excellent painter and the paintings reflected the album artwork that he had adorned his albums with for years. The exhibit also had video and audio archives, more than enough to keep me in the gallery for 3 hours.
On Friday January 14th we'll be holding our own Captain Beefheart birthday/memorial. We're arranging a special screening of concert and interview segments from his music career, sale pricing on all Beefheart CD's and LP's and a bit of memorabilia. Stay tuned to our website for upcoming details.
Across the light, across the night
You can hear the Captain's cry

Winnipeg music store bucks sales trend
Greg Tonn looked at the tally for a week and noticed a continuing decline in the number and dollar value of compact discs being sold at his Winnipeg store, Into The Music. There was no doubt about it - the market for CDs appeared to have peaked. Given that a large part of his bread and butter came from the sale of new and used CDs what, if anything, could he do about it?
In 1987, Winnipeg entrepreneur Mr. Tonn turned his personal LP collection of more than 2,000 albums into a specialty venture, which he called Into the Music. According to Mr. Tonn, his strategy was to be "short on junk and long on gems." The establishment originally opened its doors on Corydon Avenue in the middle of Winnipeg's Little Italy, with the store relocating in 1990 to the Osborne Village area. This was where business really took off as used CDs poured into, and out of, the store.
In short order, Into The Music effectively developed a city-wide following, making it one of the places to go for music. Given the store's eclectic focus on specialty jazz, classical, punk, blues, deleted recordings, and new hard-to-find imports, it was no surprise when the store received the 1999 award for "best retail store for the Prairie provinces" at the 1999 Prairie Music Awards.
In 2003, the store relocated to Winnipeg's rejuvenated Exchange District, after Mr. Tonn and his Osborne landlord were unable to agree on a new lease. Located just three blocks from the city's epicentre at Portage and Main, the move was a very good decision. With Red River College opening its downtown campus just a few blocks away, a lot of tech-savvy businesses in the area, and some complementary retail in close proximity, the store had again become one of "the" places to go for music.
CDs made a big splash in the 1980s, resulting in the rapid marginalization of vinyl. As a result, many LP collections were dumped en masse in the 1990s, with Mr. Tonn buying several at rock-bottom prices. Demand for CDs has recently started to cool. While they had accounted for about 65 per cent of the store's unit sales in the early 2000s, CD sales as a percentage have been sliding, with recent estimates somewhere in the low 40s.
Mr. Tonn noticed one other development along with the decline in CD sales: a rediscovery of vinyl LPs as format for music hobbyists.
While the music industry had changed in a number of ways, including the emergence of an online market for downloaded music and the housing of personal collections on iPods, a less conspicuous development was the quiet re-emergence of the serious collector. These individuals, Mr. Tonn believes, still value music as a physical artifact that sits on their shelves and not just on their computers. He also believes these customers are "into vinyl," as something to collect and also to act as a protest against an increasingly digitized culture.
This penchant for collecting is not age-related, Mr. Tonn says, with both young and old picking up the bug. While one group, say the 50-plus oldsters, might prefer one format, such as CDs, another, like the Goths, might prefer a specific genre, such as British heavy metal. One key commonality for all groups was a renewed appreciation for music as a physical artifact that provided a source of personal identification.
In response to this development, Mr. Tonn sought to reorient the store as an indispensable middleman for the serious collector. While some less volatile segments, such as jazz and classical, were especially well suited for collecting, it appeared the opportunity for such a service existed across virtually all segments. The move also had implications for his online business, where he had recently sold musical rarities such as the first 45-RPM recording released by former Winnipegger Neil Young and The Squires.
Mr. Tonn reports that his last year-end was his best since the mid 1990s, with the store widely recognized as one of Manitoba's go-to places for rare and interesting music. While he recognizes vinyl will never regain its former prominence, he's convinced it will remain a strong hobby format.
He has further enriched his in-store offerings with a variety of events, including performances by musicians from the city and beyond. Into the Music also refreshes its website at least twice a week. Letting customers know about recent arrivals is critical: Mr. Tonn estimates 300-plus LPs and 400-plus CDs get added each week to the store's collection.
The CD market may be getting a bit more compact, but the opportunity to help music collectors collect doesn't seem to be going away any time soon.

ITM exclusive interview with Kevin Drew from Broken Social Scene!
I had a few minutes to chat on the phone with Kevin Drew from Broken Social Scene last week about honesty, making a large band work and the Blue Bombers.
ITM: Hi Kevin, my name is Kerri and I'm calling from Into The Music in Winnipeg.
KD: I LOVE Winnipeg!
ITM: Really?
KD: Our Sound director - who has been our sound guy for a while - 7 years or so - He's probably the #1 biggest Blue Bombers fan. We know every fuckin' player, every game - we're always pulling over to find internet so he can watch them. The bus is always a little Winnipeg Bombers shrine. I have to say - after following their season - I felt sorry for him a lot of the time but when I found out they won 32-2 or something like that - well, it's basically a massive Bomber's situation for Broken Social Scene. So, YES. We love Winnipeg.
ITM: That's great! Ok - so down to the questions. How and when did you start playing music?
KD: I was a little kid and started banging on stuff. So I was playing music since I was pretty young. I didn't really start playing guitar till I was 18 and took piano when I was a little kid. I stopped playing piano but got into lots of keyboards, a lot of drones and a lot of Brian Eno.
ITM: I read somewhere that it's very important that your music remains honest. How do you keep that honesty with such a large collaboration of people?
KD: Well, that's pretty simple because everyone is pretty straight up about the intentions of the songs when we go into them. There are ways you can manipulate tunes, there are ways that you can think about songs - but if you just kind of let it happen and you're all there to guide it together, then the intentions behind it are genuine. It makes for an honest song.
ITM: So - Who are your favorite songwriters?
KD: Oooh…hmm…(laughs) Well, that would depend. I'm a big fan of Issac Brock, or I could go WAY back to the other guys. Curtis Mayfield was always someone I would "go to" as a songwriter. I love so much music that it's very difficult to be specific about it.
ITM: Was it an easy collaboration to create? Does Broken Social Scene have an easy chemistry or did that take time?
KD: Yeah - it does come pretty easy. I can't really get into much more detail than that. Everyone has their own understanding of melody. I think it was everyone who was bringing in their own aspects of what a song was, was what worked about this band. It really gelled. We all had different backgrounds but we all came together really easily with the music.
ITM: What advice would you give an artist that wants to put together a band of 12-16 people?
KD: You have to very much understand the word "compromise." You can't make it something that you are proving to yourself that you can do. Meaning - you can't make it this pinpoint in your life where you are like - This is where my voice is - b/c there are going to be a LOT of voices. You have to really understand what it means to have teamwork. You have to let the positions of people happen naturally and not think it's going to work right away. It takes a few years to find your place in a big band as you're going out there the world. I guess if you're going to be in a big band it's b/c you're not concerned about yourself. I think the big thing is - don't use it as a platform for YOU.
ITM: Do you find the time to play solo ever? Or is that even something you would do if you could?
KD: I don't. I think later on in life - as we get older - it would be great to go out and do stuff like that. But for now, we all made a pact that we would put those things aside and just focus on this. But yeah - someday I'd love to play solo.
ITM: Tell me about the new record "Forgiveness Rock Record"
KD: I think it was the best process we've had yet. It was a lot of fun and it was great to be down in Chicago and great to work in Toronto. The songs are working live and we are definitely enjoying playing them. We try and follow that rule - Make sure you love every song b/c we're going to playing them for a long, long time - When we're playing these new songs we're realizing - Ok, we pulled that one off - So, it's working out.
ITM: How do you find you are able to keep yourself grounded during all of the tour dates, the interviews and sheer exhaustion?
KD: It's difficult, but at this point in the game, the only thing that keeps you grounded is that you've done it all before. So, when you have a bad attitude about something you don't want to repetitively have a bad attitude about it, that doesn't help anyone involved. You understand that that's your life and your day is what consists of those things we've just said. You try to be happy about it. Be happy that people are talking to you and that you have these problems that you have. We are all a lot older than we were when we first started out and we've gone through almost every problem a band can go through. We've repeated those problems and we've repeated a lot of these problems again. So you realize that - ok, this is just part of the job - so you just treat it that way. They aren't problems anymore, they are just things you are going to run into when you're doing this.
ITM: Great, well thank you SO much for talking to me, and I'll see you in Winnipeg!
KD: I'll SEE YOU IN THE PEG!
Broken Social Scene played the Burton Cummings Theatre on Wednesday, October 6th.

Coffee In The Cabin With Jesse DeNatale & Scott Nolan
Scott Nolan & Jesse DeNatale talk about their upbringing in music, their upcoming albums & Art in today's world.
I had the opportunity a couple of days ago to have coffee in my cabin with Jesse DeNatale & Scott Nolan. Both are fantastic musicians, passionate and thoughtful about their art and incredible people. Be sure to go to their show tonight at the West End Cultural Center. It will be a show you don't want to miss!!
ITM: How did you start playing music?
Jesse DeNatale: I started with a harmonica. It was the only instrument I only needed to know how to breathe to play. Then a friend of my mom's came over with a guitar and said - I want to give this to your son because I'm just going to get drunk and break it. I can't learn to play it - I'm just going to break it in a drunken rage - So, all of the sudden we had this real instrument. It was too big though so I just open tuned it. No one thought about lessons, but they would say - Go practice your guitar. So I'd just go to my room, put the neck down and just start tapping on it, making rhythmic music really. I knew you were supposed to do more with it, but the best I could do was just make stuff up.
Scott Nolan: I was about 6 or 7. To my parents credit they sensed something in me. I don't know if they believed it was musical but they saw that they had a kid that didn't try to make friends and do a lot of that stuff. So they hired me a teacher named Mr. Struck who was a really elderly man - it was one of those - sit beside each other in your room, share a music stand and do little tee tee taws, open string. I just hated it. I can't remember how long it went for 'til he went to my parents and said - I can't in good conscience take your money, your son is not musically inclined, he doesn't seem to have any interest in it at all - So I think they assumed it was the wrong thing they chose. So - that was the start. I had an Auntie who was a painter that passed away when I was 3 or 4 and in my grandparents house at the bottom of the stairs was this big color wheel that I now have in my studio - as a little kid, I would make my way to the bottom of the stairs and just stare at it, I just loved it for some reason. It led me to realize that behind me, under the stairs, was a big crawl area. So naturally, as a young kid, I would go in there. Way at the back there was a guitar - my grandparents had no idea that it was even there. So, later in life I started thinking about that Auntie and how they used to tell me that she used to fawn over me. I sometimes believe that she may have been more conscious of the way that things were left behind. I like to believe it wasn't such a random thing. If you can get to this spot, then you can get to here and if you get to here, then who knows where you may go. I've always felt like she was behind me somehow. My family, jokingly say I'm different. They'll tell my nieces and nephews - Your uncle, he's different, but he's good - I don't credit that first guitar teacher, but I do credit that Auntie.
ITM: How do you feel that your upbringing influenced the style and feel of your music?
SN: My home life - my mom never listened to music for pleasure until she got remarried maybe 7-8 years ago. My dad only played music when he drank. Fortunately for me, he drank a lot. He played 50's music typically. He was into soul and rhythm and blues but his depth of knowledge tended not to go to the depth that I may have liked. He'd ask me about Michael McDonald and I'd go get him a Holmes Brothers record. There were those barriers. I liked Hank Sr. and he liked Hank Jr. He did play 50's music, that to this day, still stays with me. The writing back then musically was out of this world, the harmonies, the writing, it's top notch. I don't know if it's really this way but I sensed that you had to be really good to make it back then. Truthfully, I don't feel that way about today's music. I think there is a number of ways to get to the top without having to be unique or original. The 50's were a big one for me.
JD: Yeah - it's kind of left up to the public to decide now. There weren't as many tunnels for them to come out of then either. There was radio and television. You had some pop songs in movies etc but there have been writers forever. It seems like there was someone overseeing the conveyer belt who wouldn't allow certain things in. You might have been good too. The mold was broken at some point though. Maybe it was Bob Dylan when he opened the door AND took it off the hinges - he said - Anything goes - that could have happened before that. But at some point - something happened that made people believe that anything can happen. Even Bad. Someone can be like - I suck at playing, I'm going to try - and then people LIKE that sound. They like the sound of someone that sounds like they are just learning how to play guitar in their bedroom and it becomes a hit because people relate to the incompetence of it? That's the wrong word, but it seems attainable - it's not even that though - even if you were better, you would dumb it down to make it sound like you couldn't play. I think we've gotten to a place as listeners where we're confused. We're not sure whether we really like it or not. We're going to have to deal with that at some point. Personally, I go into too many places where music is playing - the supermarket, everywhere - and it becomes like a poison. I'm digesting something that I don't want to. It makes me uncomfortable, I get anxious. Once in a while it's nice, but for me - as someone who walks around with a melody in my head - I can't hold on to what I want to. It can be good music too, but I just don't want to hear it. I want to CHOOSE to hear it. I don't know why people think they have to listen to music all the time. I think there is a real fear of being alone - of being without communication. It's hard for them to just be quiet. We spend so much time with noise that we've ignored the natural sounds around us.
ITM: Jesse, You have a new record coming out in 2011 called "Halleluiah Rain" - How is that different from your last record "Soul Parade"
JD: Well, it's not going to be extremely different b/c it's still me writing it. I won't get too far away from what it is I do because I'm still learning. I think Soul Parade was more about a wider view of some things, and Halleluiah Rain is more about romantic relationships between 2 people - the importance of those and the conflicts of those - how we hold them. I hadn't been writing about that stuff. I think I've always written songs that have a "way out." if it's about some darkness or sadness or despair then there is a way out of that. I'll always - or hopefully - (laughs) put a way out in there. In my mind - Soul Parade was about life and death - Those two ends of the spectrum - seeing them as parallel in some ways and also favoring life. So that was the optimism in there and the hope in there. Nothing-favored death - but it did take into account that it was a big part of the picture.
ITM: Scott, tell me about your new record.
SN: My new record is done. I'm very proud of it. I think if anything has changed from my last record - I invested a lot more time into production and I found myself pretty obsessed with things like the Traveling Wilburys. They were the one band we constantly referenced. Their recordings were somewhat polished and clean but the recordings had an element of comfort in them. The presentation seemed really geared to their audience - which really struck me because I love the Captain Beefheart's and the Tom Waits and it took me a while as an artist to realize that isn't really me - that isn't where my niche lies. What the Wilburys helped me realize is that I'm not writing songs for a particular audience but I did want to be willing for the first time to produce a record for an audience. For the first time I worked with a co-producer that really brought things to the table. There were things I had never tackled before. To be challenged was one of the most exciting things for me. Everyone involved was challenged. I loved the experience. When it comes to this record, I didn't want to obscure things for the sake of obscuring them. I didn't necessarily want to go live off the floor all the time. Rolling Stones did it on a number of records. They had a lot of years together as a band and sure they were out of their minds doing it. It's not just about going into a studio and getting messed up. I see a lot of that. There are people in my peer group that say - That's the way we do things - and I'll tell you you're not producing "Tonight's The Night". If you take it seriously and make it your business - there is a lot to consider there. The audience is a worthy consideration. Patrick O'Connell once said to me - If you have a point, get it out there as simply as possible. It is NOT a negative thing when masses respond to your work. It's not a selling out thing - It's the fact that you've been able to take a universal idea and articulate it in an elegant and simple manner that reaches people.
ITM: Who are your favorite Songwriters?
JD: Honest Songwriters. That's not fair b/c it's not the song, it's the performance of the song. On paper it's one thing. Delivery makes the world of difference. Specifically Jonathan Richman comes to mind. He is able to make it look simple. He puts a lot into his songs and keeps them uncluttered.
SN: I often make reference to Neil Young. It goes beyond his songs. I like the moves he's made with this wealth. I like the way he is relentlessly curious with new things even if it means making records that people hate. Beyond that he has written some really classic songs - I like the whole package. He's not losing half his money in divorces; he's developing and building schools for kids with special needs. Him and his wife have done some really incredible stuff.
I've always liked the team of Tom Waits and his wife. I think they are virtually untouchable. There are so many great writers out there. Daniel Johnson, Captain Beefheart. I don't think there is a writer anywhere like Vic Chestnut. His commitment to his writing I just find incredible. These are the things that have inspired me to say - I will die trying. Every time I get on stage I hope to leave the audience a little better off than how I found them. We have to protect ourselves and see value in what we do.
JD: It's true - music can play a really big role in who we are as people. Leonard Bernstein understood - as we do - that it's a universal language. If schools wanted to, they could make it mandatory to learn this language the same way as we learn Spanish or French. Think about that! If everyone knew how to read and write music it would have such a different place in society. It would have a much greater impact in the importance of art. The importance of art would be communicated. Art is something that many people believe we can live without. They're cheating themselves though. Until we get our heads around accepting the importance that art has in this planet, we won't really change the way we treat artists.
Jesse DeNatale & Scott Nolan perform this Friday, September 24th at the West End Cultural Centre. Doors are at 7:15pm & Show is at 8:00pm.
Tickets are $17 in advance at The WECC, Ticketmaster, Winnipeg Folk Festival Music store & Music Trader. $22 at the Door.

Pretty from Patch NYC
Filed under: Decor
Don Carney, one of the founding designers of accessories company Patch NYC, has been selling his intricate, antique-ish ink drawings through specialty shops for a few years now, but the gorgeous originals can cost a pretty penny. So we were thrilled to see a partnership between Patch and West Elm that's making metallic letterpress prints of Carney's work affordable to the masses. Any of the five designs, which include a rose, butterfly, bird, and turtle, would be lovely in a nursery or an artsy kids room.
Available from $29 at westelm.com.

Copy of Schindler's list up for sale on eBay for $3M
More News from Agence France-Presse
LOS ANGELES — An original copy of the list of Jews Oskar Schindler saved from the Holocaust is up for sale on eBay, with the starting bid set at $3 million, a Los Angeles auctioneer said Friday.
The 14-page typewritten list, bearing the names of 801 men, originated with the German industrialist's right-hand man Itzhak Stern, Gary Zimet of momentsintime.com told Agence France-Presse.
"Stern's nephew (in Israel) sold it roughly three years ago to the current owner, who bought it as an investment," said Zimet, who declined to give details about the seller.
He added: "I don't anticipate any bidders until the last day — or probably the last five or 10 minutes."
Zimet and his partner Eric Gazin, who listed the document on his gazinauctions eBay page, opted to use the popular Internet auction site because of its global reach.
"This exceedingly rare original Schindler's List is the only one ever on the market," the eBay listing states. Others are in museums in Israel and the United States.
The auction is set to end on July 28 at 6:00 p.m. Los Angeles time (July 29 0100 GMT). Interested bidders are asked to provide information so they can be pre-screened.
Schindler is credited with saving the lives of some 1,200 Jews employed in his factories during World War II. He died in anonymity in Germany in 1974 at the age of 66.
His story was the focal point of film director Steven Spielberg's Oscar-winning epic "Schindler's List" in 1993.

Loren Bennink is the owner of Benn There! Done That! ink. I have a total of 4 vacation properties across the country (Denver, Tampa, Charlotte, & Las Vegas). Each has a unique & homey feel based on where it is located.
Cooper purchased this townhome in 2010
[email dated 7/20/14] Thank you for offering your home for us to stay in. We had a really good time! I have to say it's among the top ones we've stayed in for cleanliness. I did love the way it was decorated as well! It had a very warm feeling to it.
The door alarm was an added safety feature that helped a lot.
It was a quiet neighborhood as well.
Thank you again, we enjoyed our stay very much.
Loren, thank you for opening your townhouse to us. We felt very much at home during our stay. As you know, the townhouse is tastefully decorated. The pictures of the residence are accurate; however, opening the door revealed a clean (impeccably) and well-maintained property. All of our questions and concerns were answered by you. We were fortunate to meet Susan who was a tremendous resource and who was so helpful in giving us information about the neighborhood, the townhouse, Charlotte, etc. We would highly recommend this property to our friends and relatives. We look forward to returning to this property. Be blessed!!
Just as described! What you see in the photos is exactly what you get. I'm a "clean freak" and when we arrived I was very pleased with how clean the townhouse was.
We rented the townhouse as we were doing the NASCAR races during the month of May and staying in a hotel for a month was too much to ask of anyone. The location to the track and all the activities we were planning was great.
Any questions we had were quickly answered by Loren.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this townhouse and will hopefully be able to rent it again if we return to Charlotte.
I stayed here with my brothers and father (4 of us total) and it was fantastic. Close to supermarkets, good neighborhoods to go jogging, and a clean livable space. The owners were very attentive to any and all questions I had. It was very comfortable and livable!
Super cute and a very practical layout. Close to grocery and dollar stores for whatever you need. Not cluttered but well decorated and comfortable. Everything clean, organized and well maintained. We will definitely stay here again!
Hi Loren, Just to let you know the house was great! Everything we needed was there. Location was really nice, not to far from downtown Charlotte and to the track. Enjoyed our visit. We will rent this townhouse again when we come back to Charlotte.
Great house! Super Clean and beautifully decorated. We slept comfortably and it was super quiet. Extremely happy with this home and the owner! Gave us exactly what we expected and was really accomidating to our needs. Close to downtown. We will use this home again the next time we stay in Charlotte!

I have every intention of using them. my first SSD is not full yet so no real rush to slap the other one in and replacing the cpu isn't as simple as putting it in the case. The bios update required to use a more up to date cpu on my motherboard is a pain in the ass and usually requires being sent back to MSI to have them fix it since most of the time the bios update bricks the motherboard.

India's abject surrender Test after Test in England to go down 1-3 after leading 1-0 have disappointed former captains. While champion left-arm spinner Bishan Singh Bedi was left fuming, legendary middle-order batsman Gundappa Viswanath was completely shattered.
Speaking to dna on Monday, Viswanath said: "After the win at Lord's, I expected India to win the series. But they were totally wavered in the way they played cricket. Indian cricket is in a mess. I am not sure of Indian cricket."
The soft-spoken Viswanath is pained at the manner of the defeats that he said: "It is really boiling in me. It really hurts. The present cricketers are very good players. But they are not able to handle the situation. That is important. I was part of the side that was all out for 42 in England in 1974. It was one of those things. But in this series, these players getting all out for 152, 161, 148, 94, it is really shameful."
Bedi did not mince words when he told this daily: "Apart from Rahane (Ajinkya Rahane), every single player gives an impression of arrogance as if he has achieved everything in cricketing life. This happens because their elders (BCCI bosses) themselves are like that. The rot has started from top to bottom. Who is to be blamed? N Srinivasan or skipper MS Dhoni? Both are different sides of the same coin. Both are running Indian cricket like their private fiefdom.
"I don't think that our players now even treat cricket like cricket... This is because of the monster called IPL. Look how these same players hit balls outside stadiums at will during IPL while they can't last a single good delivery against good quality attack in Test cricket.
"This simply is because no player is interested in playing for an entire day or bowling 30 overs in a day for few lakhs, when they know that they are getting millions and millions for doing it in three or four overs. IPL has destroyed the Indian cricket."
Bedi called the body language of almost all the cricketers as "pathetic and disgraceful" after the loss. "I was shocked to see the behaviour of these 'so called' ambassadors of cricket in India. I can understand that winning or losing is part of the game, but the way they received the medallions in the post match ceremony was a shocker to me. How could they just ignore to not wish Mrs Pataudi (Sharmila Tagore) standing there? How could they just not remove their goggles or take their caps off while shaking hands with guests on the dais?," he asked.
Viswanath suggested that the way forward from the embarrassing defeats is "we have to play a lot of Test cricket". He said: "The Indian board (BCCI) also has to think about that. We have to play a lot of Test cricket instead of Twenty20s and 50-over ODIs."
The 65-year-old Viswanath questioned the role of the foreign coaches in the team. "You have a foreign coach but the same thing happens (losing overseas). What is the foreign coach doing? It cannot happen like this. I am not happy about the way our players are playing. Once in a while, it (defeat) happens but not Test after Test. They are such good cricketers that they have to back themselves. They have to come on their own. But they do the same mistakes again and again."
Viswanath said that the year-ending tour of Australia will be tougher than what Dhoni & Co. went through in England. "With the kind of scores behind them, Australian tour is not going to be easy. In fact, Australia will be tougher. There is nothing like winning. Whey they are losing, everything is going against them. Having said that, hats off to James Anderson and Stuart Broad. They really bowled beautifully. So also Moeen Ali, he deserved to get those wickets."
So what is the way out? Bedi felt that the current skipper Dhoni should be immediately sacked in order to send some serious message to other Non Performing Assets. "I was shocked to see Dhoni shamelessly answering queries post match. This is because he knows there are people there in BCCI who have to save him in order to save their own interests," said Bedi.

Domain tasting, or the unsavoury practice of temporarily registering Internet domain names (website names) in overwhelmingly large numbers mainly to test and exploit their advertisement profit potential, has virtually come to an end thanks to pre-emptive action taken about a year ago, according to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).
This kind of speculative domain name registration was creating problems for users and administrators of Internet domains. This resulted in ICANN, which manages the international domain name regimen, changing the rules on temporary registration. Since last year ICANN has been charging companies if they registered and returned more than a certain number or percentage of domains each month. This made domain tasting expensive.
The National Internet Exchange of India also implemented this change."Following recent policy changes by ICANN after extensive consultations with the Internet community, there has been a 99.7 per cent decline in domain tasting across all registries that have implemented the new policy," said an ICANN report.
The report, released some time ago, said that at one point millions of dotcom-domains, for instance, were registered in one month alone and then given up because it was possible to register these even for fewer than five days without financial commitment. Domain names were registered in large numbers and tested for their potential to generate profits from visitors clicking on 'automated' advertisements carried on the sites or through other means.
This was done using automated systems so that sites could be 'tasted' in large numbers without much effort. 'Unprofitable' sites would then be dropped. "ICANN rightly curbed domain tasting by putting in place specific rules that succeeded in making this practice commercially unviable. This problem no longer exists — it was created by fewer than 10 companies, none of which was based in India," said Divyank Turakhia, president of Directi, a web services company involved in the domain registration business.
"The practice of registering profitable generic domain names solely for monetisation is a very legitimate and substantive business," he pointed out when TheHindu sought his response to the ICANN report."Some people got confused about domain tasting, and thought the whole business of domain investing and domain parking is bad," Mr. Turakhia added.
He was referring to buying and selling domain names for profit and also registering them for future use or sale.
'Parked' domains are often used to generate advertisement revenue from the traffic that automatically or accidentally flows to the site until the particular domain is actually made use of or sold for profit. Apart from posing various problems, domain tasting made it difficult for individuals to get their domain names back if they accidentally allowed these to lapse (since it was being picked up and dropped by automated systems), ICANN said.

The tendency to favor litigation -
Litigation through the courts is the most well-known method of determining disputes. A recent judgment of the UK Tax Chamber of the First Tier Tribunal published on the 15th July 2013 considered arguments of religious discrimination under the Human Rights Act 1998 and the European Convention on Human Rights (the Convention). TC:02777 Project Blue Limited [2013] UKFTT 378 (TC) concerned the amount of stamp duty land tax due on a real estate transaction which was funded by an Shariah compliant bank.
The UK tax authorities contended that such tax was payable on a higher amount than the company contended. The tribunal agreed that there was no evidence that the company was under any religious obligation to use Shariah compliant financing, such that its decisions were purely commercial: "The motives of the Appellant in structuring the transaction in the way it did are unclear. No directors of the Appellant [...] were called to give evidence. [...] Accordingly, we have concluded that the Appellant has not established that it entered into the Shariah compliant financing for religious reasons and that, therefore it has not shown that it suffered discrimination on the basis of religion contrary to Article 14 of the Convention."
Various other factors were not deemed sufficient to enable the company to run a religious discrimination argument: for example, the bank dealt exclusively with Shariah compliant finance; the company obtained a Fatwa to certify compliance with Islamic requirements; and there was a contractual acknowledgment in the transaction's common terms agreement that the transaction documents were consistent with Shariah principles.

EYES ON LONDON: Fast track, Phelps, Blade Runner
nepal Around the 2012 Olympics and its host city with journalists from The Associated Press bringing the flavor and details of the games to you:
Is it the track?
Seven female sprinters, led by world champion Carmelita Jeter's time of 10.83 seconds, ran the first round of the 100 in 11 seconds or better Friday.
That was two more than did it over the entire meet in Beijing four years ago, and this time, there are still the semifinals and the gold-medal race to go.
Of course, Usain Bolt and Yohan Blake will also be looking to rev things up Saturday afternoon in the men's 100 heats.
Called Mondotrack, the surface has shock-absorbing material built into the bottom instead of the top, meaning the upper layer provides better traction. That, in turn, lets runners wear flatter spikes that don't dig into the track as much, allowing for quicker turnover.
"Is this track better than Beijing? Unfortunately, I don't have a concrete answer," said Amy Millslagle, vice president for Olympic operations at Dow, which provides materials for the track. "You simply can't answer that because there's such a human element involved, and you can't prove one track is faster than another."
Eddie Pells - Twitter - http://www.twitter.com/epells
After dazzling fans for more than a decade, Michael Phelps will swim his last race on Saturday, and there is a good chance that it will end the way most of his Olympic events have: with a gold medal.
Phelps will be swimming the butterfly leg of 4x100 medley relay, an event the U.S. men have never lost. The Americans are sending out an imposing quartet that includes three gold medalists - Phelps, freestyler Nathan Adrian and backstroker Matt Grevers - plus breaststroker Brendan Hansen, who won a bronze.
"I don't think Michael is going to let anything go wrong in that race," said Eric Shanteau, who swam on the U.S. relay in Friday's prelims.
Indeed, it's unfathomable to think the Phelps era could end with anything less than another gold-medal performance.
"I thought it would hit me a lot harder than what it is right now," Phelps said Friday. "I guess a lot of those emotions haven't really come through my brain over the last week."
"Once I'm done," he added, "I think there's going to be a lot more emotion that really comes out."
Paul Newberry - Twitter - http://www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963
Double-amputee Oscar Pistorius of South Africa fought long and hard to be able to compete alongside the other sprinters at Olympic Stadium. Now he'll get his chance.
Pistorius takes to the track Saturday in the 400-meter preliminaries, facing a stacked field for a chance to advance to the semifinals. His legs were amputated below the knee before he was a year old because he was born without fibulas. He will become the first amputee to compete on the track at the Olympics.
