The Vedic Literature of Ancient India and Its Many Secrets
Yoga and the Sacred Fire: Self Realization and Planetary Transformation
Wisdom of the Ancient Seers: Selected Mantras from the Rig Veda
Gods, Sages and Kings: Vedic Secrets of Ancient Civilization
David Frawley (or Vāmadeva Śāstrī वामदेव शास्त्री) is an author on Hinduism, Yoga and Ayurveda, and the founder and director of the American Institute for Vedic Studies in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is also a Professor of Vedic Astrology and Ayurveda at the International Vedic Hindu University (IVHU). He is a Vaidya (Ayurvedic doctor), and a Jyotishi (Vedic astrologer).
In 2000, his book How I Became a Hindu, details his own spiritual journey from his earlier Catholic upbringing to finally embracing Hinduism as his religion. He learned Sanskrit from a Sanskrit grammar book and a copy of the Vedas around 1970
Through his institute, he offers courses on Yoga philosophy, Hindu astrology (jyotisha), and Ayurveda. In addition to directing his institute, he conducts major lecture tours in India every year, delivering talks at universities, Hindu conferences, and to the general public.
As an American Hindu, Frawley is one of the few Westerners to be recognized by a major Hindu sect in India as a Vedacharya or teacher of the ancient wisdom.
His complete works can be accessed through www.vedanet.com
Secrets of ancient humanity and lost civilizations can be found all over the world. Yet they are perhaps most common in India, which even today the spiritual practices of the ancient world continue and its characteristic regard for the sacred. The same type of temples with similar forms of ritual worship that were known in ancient Egypt, Babylonia, or Greece thousand of years ago still occur throughout India today from Badrinath in the Himalayas to the north to Kanyakumari in the south. Indeed it seems that the ancient world never ended in India but has continually maintained and, at times, reinvented itself.
Spiritual and occult arts such as abounded in the ancient world - including Yoga, Vedic astrology, Ayurvedic medicine and the use of rituals (Yajnas) to improve all aspects of our lives - remain commonly used and are honored by the culture of India as a whole. Indeed we could say that India is a living museum of the ancient world and its lost civilizations. To understand the ancient world, it may be better to visit the holy places of India where the ancient traditions are still unbroken, rather than try to interpret ancient ruins through bricks and pottery shards, which scholars today usually do so according to their own modern mindsets, not recognizing the all-pervasive regard for the sacred that was the basis of ancient life and culture.
Most notably, ancient India presents us with by far the largest literature that has survived from the ancient world. The Vedic literature of India, by all accounts dating from well before the time of the Buddha (500 BCE) and by traditional accounts extending back well over five thousand years (3100 BCE), covers several thousand pages. This is with the four Vedas (Rig, Yajur,Sama and Atharva), their various Brahmanas, Aranyakas and Upanishads.
The Vedas contain many ancient poems, commentaries, dialogues and teachings, of which the famous Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita - the bedrock of Indian philosophy and Yoga - represent only the last layer or a late summation. There is no comparable ancient literature remaining from any other country, much less an on-going tradition of its interpretation and application according to both ritual and meditation.
The Vedas are not directly concerned with history or with the mundane aspects of culture. Yet a mentioning of these does occur in a peripheral way in the texts. In the Vedas, we can find references to the names of peoples, places and to certain events. Beside the deep spiritual knowledge, there are indications of astronomical, mathematical and medical knowledge of a profound order. There are also indications of natural disasters like floods, earth quakes, the melting of glaciers and the shifting of rivers, with a cataclysmic sense of life based upon a long experience of Nature's changes.
Yet, even by way of understanding their spiritual side, it requires a deeper vision to appreciate the Vedas. The Vedas are composed in a cryptic 'mantric code' that cannot be understood without the proper orientation and right keys. Vedic mantras were said to have been cognized by great yogis and seers from the cosmic mind. They reflect a different type of language in which the higher truth is deliberately hidden in a veil of symbols, sacred sounds and correspondences. What may appear outwardly as a seeking cows and horses, for example, can inwardly refer to a development of higher powers of the senses (cows) and pranas or vital energies (horses). In fact, Vedic words have many layers of meaning, of which the surface appearance can be misleading, particularly to the modern mind not used to such a multidimensional language. This is also a phenomenon that we find throughout the ancient world. The Egyptian Book of the Dead, for example, abounds in similar symbols that unless we can grasp the spiritual meaning, which few may be willing to look for, can appear quite superstitious.
The Vedas say, "The Gods prefer the cryptic and dislike the obvious." The higher powers speak in symbols, riddles, paradoxes or conundrums. The Vedas speak of four levels of speech, of which ordinary human beings only know and speak with one (Rig Veda I. 164.45). They refer to a Divine Word or imperishable syllable on which they are based (Rig Veda I. 164.39). They reflect a pattern of cosmic sound that underlies all the laws of the universe and has its counterparts on all levels of both individual and cosmic manifestation. For this reason, the Veda was called the Shruti, or 'revelation' behind the Hindu tradition.
The Vedas speak of secret meanings to their mantras that were veiled to protect the teaching from its application by the spiritually immature. To receive the key to the Vedic mantras required years of work of ascetic practices, mantras, yoga, meditation, special initiations and the special favor of a teacher who knows the tradition and has realized the teaching in his own deeper consciousness. We cannot expect such cryptic mantras to unlock their secrets to a casual reading, particularly done in limited or bad translations in a language and mindset quite alien to the Vedic or ancient world view.
Modern scholars, particularly from the West, have not been able decipher this Vedic code. Most have not even recognized that it exists. This is not surprising because scholars have largely failed to understand the deeper meaning of the symbols of ancient Egypt, Sumeria, Mexico and other ancient cultures. Ancient cultures like India and Egypt were carrying on great traditions of spiritual and occult knowledge, not just the rudiments of technology, trade or empire building.[i] Since modern scholars have little background in that spiritual knowledge, with its recognition of higher states of consciousness extending into the Infinite and Eternal, naturally they cannot find it in symbols in which it is specially encrypted.
Scholars look upon the Vedas, just like the Egyptian religion, as little more than primitive nature worship, though the nature symbols like Fire in the Vedas have a vast cosmic symbolism and connect to the fire of the breath, the fire of the mind, the fire of consciousness and the Cosmic Fire through which the entire universe exists.

Telling The Truth Is Hazardous Business
[My opinion: Heh. To the extent anyone pays attention to this story, it is ultimately going to work to Greg Ahlemann's favor. Dismissing tickets is a widespread practice, and Mr. Ahlemann inadvertantly, by simply telling the truth, caused his opponents for the sheriff's seat to take untenable knee-jerk public positions which anyone familiar with the workings of law enforcement will immediately recognize as BS. Mr. Ahlemann apparently did a fine job making his case more clearly on all of the local television news outlets this afternoon. This is the type of story that is only effective if it does not have the opportunity to percolate in public consciousness. Once people begin to think about it, they realize the guy telling the truth is on the much more solid ground. The Post sprang it a week too early.]
[Mr. Ahlemann also stated today: "Any voters who don't want to hear their Sheriff telling the truth shouldn't vote for me."]
Yesterday's attempted October surprise on Loudoun County Sheriff Candidate Greg Ahlemann by reporter Bill Brubaker of the local "we try harder" publication has, unsurprisingly, turned into another signature boomerang piece by the Washington Post.
Discerning readers might have gathered from the original story that the contention of supposedly "experienced" Loudoun sheriff candidates Mike George and Steve Simpson that they never dropped tickets or asked for them to be dismissed does not quite ring true. As two officers interviewed in the story stated, it is a common practice. How could Mr. Simpson and Mr. George, with such long service records, have avoided the practice?
Former Loudoun County sheriff's deputy Dave Price (2001-2006) has an explanation: "Total hogwash."
"Dropping tickets" is, according to Mr. Price, "very commonplace."
Regarding the Washington Post reports of the statements by both candidates Mr. Simpson and Mr. George, Mr. Price said any law enforcement officers "read that, they know he's either straighter than any straight arrow they've ever known - or else he's lying."
Mr. Price said his father, a police officer for over three decades, confirmed he "did not know of any that haven't taken a call" to drop tickets.
Mr. Price recalled an incident in which he ticketed a teenage girl for speeding. Soon afterwards, a Fairfax County Police Department lieutenant asked Mr. Price to dismiss the ticket because the girl was on the local softball team. Mr. Price complied - which he said is the practice nearly all the time.
Another incident precipitated Mr. Price's resignation from the Sheriff's Office, about three weeks before he left.
On that day in 2006, Mr. Price was manning radar on River Creek Parkway in Landsdowne, where residents had been complaining of frequent speeders in the 35 mile an hour zone. He clocked a vehicle traveling at 55-60 miles per hour, and proceeded to pull it over. The driver became "belligerent with me, cursing me up and down," Mr. Price relates.
"He would not calm down. Finally his friend in the passenger seat told him to 'shut up, let's just go to court.'"
After writing the ticket, as he drove away, Mr. Price got a message from Sheriff Steve Simpson asking him to call Mr. Simpson's personal cell phone number. According to Mr. Price, Mr. Simpson asked him to drop the ticket, saying "The guy is some building contractor the county is trying to schmooze to get some building built. He said you were very professional with him. He has had lots of tickets and is worried that his insurance will go up. Would you mind getting rid of the ticket?"
Mr. Price agreed to drop the ticket and reports this is when he begain looking for another job.
The Post's Mr. Brubaker elected to just now release a story that would have been breaking news in January of this year.
At that time, former deputy and candidate for sheriff Greg Ahlemann issued a press release detailing an incident that took place in September, 2006, when Lt. Colonel Randy Badura pressured a deputy to agree to drop charges against Bruce Zurschmeide, who the deputy had charged with the triple misdemeanors of DUI, refusal to submit to a breathalyzer test and attempting to elude police. The deputy was asked to agree to the charges, which might have resulted in a sentence of year in prison, being dropped to a petty "drunk in public" which only carries a $50 fine.
Sheriff Simpson reportedly backed Mr. Badura in seeking the reduced charges.
Mr. Ahlemann took an interest in the incident as symptomatic of corruption which was hurting morale within the Sheriff's Office. He proceeded to investigate the details, some of which were divulged in the press release.
He was interviewed by Mr. Brubaker months before he won the nomination.
The Post reporter elected to sit on the story until this past Friday, October 26, when he called Mr. Ahlemann with some follow up questions.
Today, Mr. Ahlemann released to the media some background data which adds a layer of important information to the story. First is an audio recording of Mr. Ahlemann's interview with an internal affairs investigator.
The interview is worth listening to a couple times through, because it demonstrates the IA investigator is not investigating at all, but is in fact attempting to fix the story of what happened to match what would be in Mr. Badura's and Mr. Simpson's best interests. The investigator attempts to ascertain from Mr. Ahlemann that Mr. Ahlemann has not let out any information that would be damaging to the department.
Another interesting note is that the Zurschmeide family now appears to be actively promoting the false idea that the arrest of Bruce Zurschmeide was invalid (the IA interview above affirms the "arrests were good," putting the lie to the Zurschmeides' contention). A recent e-mail circulated from a member of the family argued:
Last Fall my brother was erroneously arrested on his own property by the current Sheriff's department for a DUI. After investigation, the Commonwealth Attorney reduced the charge to a misdemeanor.
In an effort to support his platform, Mr. Ahlemann claims and recently reported in the October 28th issue of the Washington Post that my brother received special treatment "by a high-ranking sheriff's official". The truth is that the arrest took place on private property and after an unsolicited investigation, the Commonwealth Attorney decided to reduce the charge to a misdemeanor. My brother does not have a relationship with any high-ranking official from the Sheriff's office, nor has he ever met Sheriff Steve Simpson. At no time did Ahlemann bother to speak to the arresting officer or to my brother about the facts of the arrest. Instead he chooses to falsely cite this incident as a platform for change.
The data - in particular the IA interview - accompanying this post, clearly shows the Zurschmeide family should have let this story die.
Regular, non-connected residents of Loudoun County know that for similar behavior they would be behind bars.
So while the Post's front page story attempted to paint Mr. Ahlemann as engaging in unusual practices, the truth of the matter strongly appears to be that Mr. Ahlemann is the only one telling the truth. Mr. Simpson - by advocating for lessening charges that would have any normal citizen facing extended time in detention - has some explaining to do in the case of Mr. Zurschmeide.
As the former deputy Mr. Price noted about Mr. Ahlemann, this entire story should "put Greg up higher because he's actually being honest about it. What's the point of lying about it?"
Supporting the original press release from Mr. Ahlemann, below the fold are copies of the original complaints in the Zurschmeide case filed by the arresting officers.

Joe - Thanks so much for posting this. I am sending it out to all the LEO's I know in Loudoun and Fairfax. The timing of the Post's article is indeed suspicious and I think Greg A is doing a good job turning this around.
Excellent information.
I know that this is all so interesting and important to you personally/politically and you or your "staff" has obviously put a great deal of research time into this post, however people who attended the HSL forum featuring Starletta and Rich have been patiently waiting for your report. I don't understand why you have allowed rumors, letters and newspaper articles to distract you from your more pressing blogging obligations. Care to explain?
Also, you seem to be excusing the leak of personal information by your choice for the next Sheriff. Do you believe that it is acceptable to do so in cases where the leak serves greater political purposes? You had named that behavior. What was that again?
This information was given to all the local media over the past 2 days, and if you pay attention to some of the local papers I think you will note it is the Zurschmeide family which chose to go public with the story - very inadvisedly, considering the facts of the case, IMO.
I personally think this is far more important in an election week than writing a review of an event for people, unlike us, who did not attend. But believe me, Starletta is on my long list of Nov 7 projects. Thank you for your patience.
This issue is crystal clear.
Greg Ahlemann is the only one of these three candidates willing to tell the truth. For those who want to try to take this candidate to task for being truthful, knock yourself out. To borrow a line from a movie- You can't handle the truth.
It appears Ahlemanns detractors are pissed that a perfectly timed media hit piece failed yet again.
How would you like to be on the side of opposing a political candidate for being truthful with voters.
Simpson's response is I don't remember which is BS.
Mike George is even worse. His position is simply unbelievable. He is either blind or can't find the truth with both hands.
How can you ever get the word out to the people? EVERY law enforcement agency has done "ticket fixing" for MINOR offences! Fairfax does it all the time. In Fairfax you must poly as requirement to become a police officer. I think it is a very sound practice so as to know who is covering your back (unlike in D.C. were corruption festers). If put to the test, do you think that Mike George would submit to a poly to confirm his statement of no ticketing fixing? I seriously doubt that! As for Simpson; well, the proof is in the pudding.
Hey, this is a great story. I think anyone who had any doubt in his/her mind would be convinced that Steve Simpson lied.
On the other hand, I don't think we are at the point where we have any reason to call Mike George a liar. He has shared that his son once got a ticket, and his son did not try to get out of the ticket. Mr. George found out about the ticket, and could have tried to use his connections to fix it, but he did not.
Assuming that all cops are involved in ticket fixing is like assuming that all major league ball players are steroid users. Let's be fair here, please. I challenge any of you that accuse Mike George of being a liar to give me any proof beyond the fact that he has been a cop ___ years, therefore he must have done it.
I question Mike George's statement. He may be one of the few but I need to KNOW for the position he is running for. If in doubt, prove it out!
As far as his son getting a ticket and him finding out about it later; if I let my dad know I got a ticket I might get a whoopin. If he found out about it later, he might let it stand as a lesson OR have it dismissed thru the commonwealth's office (once it is in it needs to go the process). So do you know what the rest of the story is with his son's ticket? I don't. He didn't elaborate. Doesn't take guts to give full disclosure like Greg did. Just integrity.
At the HLS forum, you announced that HSL had formed a PAC, and Rich Kelsey provided attendees with a line a questioning for all candidates. There were Greg Ahlemann and Bob Marshall campaign signs out front, and campaign material on the table inside. Mick Staton made a campaign appearance. The forum *was* presented as voter education. It's a bit difficult to believe that the event was intended for Nov 7.
This is all very interesting about Simpson, and kudos to Greg for being forthright about his ticket fixing, but what does any of it have to do with Mike George?
I notice an awful lot of instances here of mentioning Simpson and George in the same clause, apparently hoping that the reader will think of them as the same entity. (Readers should pay attention to things like that.)
In fact, I spent some time with Mike George right before this story broke because we were doing an interview. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at the oh-so-sophisticated cynicism displayed here, in which the rule seems to be that nobody could possibly understand the difference between right and wrong and hold themselves to a standard of behavior that they can be proud of, but it does make me sad. Believe it or not, there are honest people in the world. Not every cop is corrupt.
While I appreciate Greg's honesty about what he and other deputies have done, I'm troubled by the justification of it, that being that it's just "discretion" on the part of officers, and "everybody does it." Everybody might be aware of it, but everybody does not do it. There is a very important and clear distinction between genuine discretion, the use of judgment in choosing not to issue a ticket, and "fixing" a ticket after the fact, as a favor. I'm concerned that Greg doesn't understand how different those two things are.
It doesn't matter how widespread the latter practice is, it's still wrong. There are people who draw that line, and when you talk to one of them you know it. If you talked to Mike George, you would understand that.
George didn't "find out about the ticket later," and I don't know where you got that idea. I think he was pretty clear about the arc of that incident, the point being that he wouldn't fix a ticket for his own son, and his son wouldn't have asked him to, or even allowed it. Values matter.
p.s. I would hope that you, as an adult, wouldn't be subject to a "whooping" from your father under any circumstances.
Excellent report and backup. This is damning evidence, and will hurt Simpson's chances.
It will not go far in helping Ahlemann. Two wrongs don't make a right. Ahlemann is still going to have to live with his deathblow comment. That is what the general voter will rememeber.
I repeat, if Greg really wants to make a difference it is time for him to throw all his support towards George. Get his job back, get more experience and take up a run for Sheriff down the road where he'll not have to deal with the experience issue or the "raw" ticket issue.
George is going to win anyway, Greg and Simpson are carrying to much "ticket" baggage into the voting both for either of them to win.
Jonathan, I mean I am too busy between my job and the various little political commitments between now and election day. I am sure you have the same types of commitments.
"Nov 7" represents freedom and all sorts of wonderful things.
A point that needs to be made is that, according to Ahlemann, the Washington Post interview took place months before he even received the Republican nomination.
It is unbelievable that the Washington Post would then release the article on their front page as breaking news after the amount of time that elapsed, calling it a "recent interview".
This article proves one thing, only Ahlemann has honesty and integrity. Not Simpson, not George, and not the Washington Post. It was a despicable attempt by Ahlemann's opponents to launch an "October Surprise".
Readers should note my observation in the second paragraph of the comment at 11:54, and compare to Alek's comment, a perfect specimen.
As I told Alek at TC, "Your statement above regarding George is unsubstantiated, and seems gratuitous. Maybe you were just being sloppy when you threw that laundry list together. Please explain how this article about ticket fixing within the LCSO demonstrates anything negative about Mike George, especially in light of his comment at #52. I'm not seeing it."
Again, what does any of this have to do with Mike George? He doesn't work for the Post.
I fully support Greg and appreciate his forthrightness in this matter. But I was glad to see Billy and David's comments re: Mike George. I was intending to comment on that earlier but have been busy at work today.
But, briefly ... I read George's comment on the Too Conservative blog and have no reason to disbelieve him. He did make a distinction between "dismissing tickets" and "fixing" them ... and so I'm sure there is some gray area there.
But unless someone has knowledge otherwise, I do not think George should be called a liar. Apparently there are some who have firsthand knowledge of Simpson's misdeeds, but I have not heard of anyone with such info re: George. I will give him the benefit of the doubt on this.
Mind you, I would not want George as LoCo Sheriff for a number of reasons, but I do respect him as a person and a former law enforcement officer.
I asked it on TC and I'll ask it here: is any candidate willing to end the practice of fixing tickets once written?
At this point, it's a dare to all three of them.
Joe -
So, how do we get this information to appear as a new posting on the tooconservative site? I think this would get some bites on that site also....
There is a lot of chatter on this subject at TC already but you've now added some more good stuff to mull over.
"Regular, non-connected residents of Loudoun County know that for similar behavior they would be behind bars."
I completely agree with that statement Joe. My husband was involved in an incident for which he certainly did not recieve any special treatment and had to serve out the terms and pay all the fines that the law determined.
I also realize a DWI is more serious than speeding for example. But where I am losing you is in your seeming defense of the practice of "dismissing" tickets. Alhemann did not limit this to tickets written at the scene, but instead specifically said that he asked co-workers to tear up tickets already written.
Regular non connected residents of Loudoun County know that they are fully responsible for paying those fines, which can add up to a lot of money.
Aside from Alhemann doing the right thing by not lying, do you not disagree with this practice and hope that Alhemann would discourage it should he become sheriff?
Funny thing, first time I met George was at the 4th of July event in Sterling. He was wearing a"George for Sheriff" T-shirt. The guy had alcohol on his breath. I'm not against knocking back a couple cold ones, but before you campaign? Besides RU OK and Cyber Stations, he does provide much vision. I think I may write in John Isom, the guys a good Dem and he has 12 years experience as Sheriff of Loudoun. They btoh dropped out of Law enforcement around the same time as well. Since all George talks about is his "experience", I'll write in the non-alcohol while campaining John Isom. Join me any one?
With regards to the Zurschmeide case, Ahlemann broke the law. The last I checked, one's social security number is NOT a matter of public record. That is why it is no longer used on driver's licenses!! He was WRONG to give that very personal information to the public. He should be brought up on charges.
Ahlemann doesn't have the facts right

Submitted By: Bruce Zurschmeide
Last fall, I was erroneously arrested on my own property by the current Sheriff's department for a DUI. After investigation, the Commonwealth Attorney reduced the charge to a misdemeanor.
In an effort to support his platform, Republican candidate for Loudoun Sheriff Greg Ahlemann claims and reported in the Oct. 28 issue of The Washington Post ["Sheriff Hopeful in Va. Says He Dismissed Tickets"] that I received special treatment "by a high-ranking sheriff's official". The truth is that the arrest took place on my private property and after an unsolicited investigation, the Commonwealth Attorney decided to reduce the charge to a misdemeanor. I do not have a relationship with any high-ranking official from the Sheriff's office, nor have I ever met Sheriff Steve Simpson. At no time did Ahlemann bother to speak to the arresting officer or to me about the facts of the arrest. Instead, he chooses to falsely cite this incident as a platform for change.
Additionally at a public Republican Party meeting in September, Ahlemann passed out information related to the above incident, which included my social security number, date of birth and place of residence – all of which are the necessary ingredients for identity theft. As a former Loudoun County deputy, Ahlemann is well aware of the dangers of identity theft and has been trained not to expose and/or distribute personal information. He willfully did so, which endangered me and my family's personal and financial well being. As a result, I had to contact the national credit agencies to block all hits on my credit report to hopefully avoid identify theft! I have also recently been contacted by the FBI who informed me that they are investigating Mr. Ahlemann's distribution of the aforesaid information as part of the Privacy Act.
Someone running for an appointed position should not be deliberately endangering the well being of the very people he supposedly wants to protect. In the Washington Post article, Ahlemann promises to "restore integrity" to the Sheriff's office. What Mr. Ahlemann has done clearly lacks integrity – the very essence of what he claims he will bring to the county as Sheriff. How can we vote anyone into a publicly appointed office when they, through acts of their own, lack the integrity that the position requires? Mr. Ahlemann lacked integrity by not becoming well informed of the incident before making it part of his platform, and most importantly he lacks integrity when he freely distributed my personal information to the public at the risk of endangering my privacy rights! He violates the oath of the office that he seeks to obtain at the expense of the citizens that he vows to protect.

Two items:
1. Does anybody know why former Deputy Price's allegation has not gotten any media coverage?
2. For Bruce Zurschmeide. I found it interesting that you have made a public statement about the incident, but have did not apologize for your conduct. Are you truly shameless with regard to your actions on the night of your arrest?

2. For Bruce Zurschmeide. I found it interesting that you have made a public statement about the incident, which lacks any form of apology for your conduct. Are you truly shameless with regard to your actions on the night of your arrest? Do you have a substance abuse problem, and are you currently being treated?
Questions for Bruce Zurschmeide:
Read your letter on Loudoun Times Mirror...Against the backdrop of all the other damning evidence against your, as you describe it, "erroneous" arrest (the multiple court documentation showing original charges of DUI, eluding police, the arresting officers' criminal complaint against you), how is it that you would then attempt to turn this around into something about Ahlemann?
How many times have we heard criminals claim "it wasn't me, I didn't do it" - we've heard that line from law-breakers before ALOT. Unfortunately, residents of Loudoun County are smarter than you are giving them credit for.
You take umbrance with the fact that your personal information has been disclosed. Yet, it is common knowledge that criminal charges against someone are a matter of public record.
Finally, my last question: Mr. Zurschmeide, are you gunning for Stephen Simpson to be re-elected? It almost begs the question, I assume you are. And, if you are, that is sad commentary on your choice for a Sheriff's candidate.
Simpson has thrown his own rank-and-file officer under the bus by trying to suggest that the deputies didn't make a good arrest, when the actual court documentation bears out that it was a SOLID, GOOD ARREST. Or, was the court magistrate acting "erroneously" in supporting those charges against you also?
Simpson's administration brokered a back-door deal to reduce your serious, criminal charges to a petty $50.00 fine. That is preferential treatment that no other citizen would get, nor should they when they break the law.
In good conscience, an administration like Simpson's that does such corrput dealings should get noone's vote!
" I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at the oh-so-sophisticated cynicism displayed here, in which the rule seems to be that nobody could possibly understand the difference between right and wrong and hold themselves to a standard of behavior that they can be proud of,"
Aren't you projecting?
The part about the whoopin was a concern under my father's dominion when I was a child. That was in the times that "corporal punishment" meant something to children that just didn't understand. It worked then. I only wish that it had been used as a guidance tool (when necessary) on others. Then we wouldn't be having this discussion, would we.
"billy" had the correct question above when he asked, twice: "Does anybody know why former deputy Price's allegation has not gotten any media coverage?"
as a matter of fact, i emailed mr. bill brubaker (the wash post author of the suspiciously-timed article) and he said the purpose of his article was to inform readers and let them decide about the candidates. he also admitted to knowing about dep. Price's statements, but said he decided not to print them because simspon said they were not true.
if your purpose is to inform readers, why wouldn't you present all information on the subject and let the readers decide who is telling the truth and who is worthy of their vote next tuesday!?!
Very interesting, Heather. Since Simpson's agency requires polygraphs of new hires, would Simpson take a polygraph administered by a neutral party regarding this issue? Interesting how many people Simpson has accused of lying, especially in light of the fact that he publicly violated his pledge to the Republican party.
Isn't that what you're saying? That it's impossible to believe that anyone in law enforcement can honestly say that they refrain from fixing tickets because they know it's wrong?
Please explain the "projecting" question.
Re: my comment at 303 - Sorry, it wasn't Activist who said that specifically, s/he only "questioned" George's statement. "You" referred to the several other commenters who find it unbelievable.
Do we really want to live in a cut and dry community or one that is able to reevaluate the circumstances.Zurschmeide's case was reduced after the commonwealths attorney looked at it and saw how ridiculous it was. Let's ticket the real criminals not someone who was drinking on their own property. Why was the cop at the residence anyways, was he called out because something illegal was going on, or because the party was a little too noisy?
How does one "erroneously elude police"??
Inquiring minds want to know.
To givemeabreak -
Well, by your reasoning if something happens on private property then the law can't intervene or respond. Give me a break.
So, tell me how many domestic violence calls, assault and battery incidents, rapes or any number of other crimes would go unaddressed by the police then? After all, if it's occuring in the home or on someone's private property then by your rationale then it's not an issue for law enforcement to address or respond to. C'mon.
That argument you're giving would never hold up. Besides, according to Simpson himself in an interview on tv earlier this week on this very incident with Zurschmeide, Simpson acknowledged that there are general orders allowing for DUIs on private property to be considered a criminal offense. Never mind the fact that Zurschmeide is reported to have fled the scene and had to be chased by the deputies with lights and siren.
Better close the blinds in your house while you partake of that beer or glass of wine. If you are seen by anyone passing by you may be arrested for drinking in public. It's the law, dumb as it is.
p.s. when you cough up that hairball and spit it out on the street or sidewalk, you can be arrested for that also.
"I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at the oh-so-sophisticated cynicism displayed here, in which the rule seems to be that nobody could possibly understand the difference between right and wrong and hold themselves to a standard of behavior that they can be proud of"
Projecting is the act of relaying a fault or blame on others that is inherent to yourself. Before you cast aspirsions, look in the mirror!
"[When] you cough up that hairball and spit it out on the street or sidewalk, you can be arrested for that also."
Carry a handkerchief, and stop licking your fur.
ARWillow Not at all what I said. The cops should respond to all calls,but tickets written for stupid reasons should have a chance to be reduced. The argument does hold up every day, every day attorneys are out there trying to get the commonwealths attorney to reduce charges, and they get reduced every day. Who are we to judge whether or not he was fleeing a scene. Were we there? Do we know all that was going on? The scene was his house, don't think he was trying to hide. I think a coomon reaction to seeing police with a beer in your hand would be to turn around and go the other way.Does anyone know why the cops were called there in the first place? Was it because something criminal was going on ,somebody was endangered,somebody was being too loud? Big difference between criminal or having to tell someone to quiet down. Last night while we were out trick or treating, I saw a lot of people in front yards with beers in their hand.If the cops had been out walking the neighborhoods,and walked towards one of those houses and someone immediately turned around to go put their beer back inside, are they fleeing? Do they all need a ticket too?
" Last night while we were out trick or treating, I saw a lot of people in front yards with beers in their hand.If the cops had been out walking the neighborhoods,and walked towards one of those houses and someone immediately turned around to go put their beer back inside, are they fleeing?

Hmmm. Turning around to go put their beer back inside would constitute knowledge of wrong-doing. If you can't do the time, don't do the crime! Cops never harassed us on all too many occasions of drinking in a driveway with friends. Must be a "latitude" thing. I guess we are minor infractions compared to that not-coming-to-a-complete-stop or not-using-a-turn-signal crowd of criminals that deserve no latitude. After all, equal enforcement of the law! Police state-here we come. Gulags for everyone (I mean re-indoctrination camps).
I know what "projection" means, and your use of it here doesn't make any sense. What are you trying to say?
sounds like harrassment to me to expect a turn signal for a turn around at the end of your driveway out in the middle of nowhere. Also sounds like you don't expect to get arrested when you're at home just drinking some beers. Point being, a DUI in your driveway is a bit much and the commonwealths attorney, after reviewing all the detail, which none of us have, he agreed!
You say "the commonwealth's attorney, after reviewing all the detail, which none of us have"...
Simply scroll up on this very page, you'll see all the information and the details of the case. It was a good arrest, the court magistrate deemed it an offense that could have at the very least sent that man to ASAP or restricted his license or even jailtime. But, good ol' Plowman stepped in agreed to the back-door deal that Simpson and Badura brokered and presented and now the rest of us citizens get to drive our cars and walk about our neighborhoods knowing that someone like Zurschmeide can get behind the wheel of his car again totally wasted, elude police and maybe next time, he'll injure or kill somebody. Makes me feel better about how that case was dispositioned to a $50.00 fine drunk in public.
Not TRYING to say anything. I said it already.....twice!
"I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at the oh-so-sophisticated cynicism displayed here, in which the rule seems to be that nobody could possibly understand the difference between right and wrong and hold themselves to a standard of behavior that they can be proud of."
In what sense is this projecting? If I were projecting, wouldn't that mean that I myself am cynical, and disbelieve that anyone in law enforcement can understand the difference between right and wrong, and act accordingly? I thought I was very clear that this cynicism is what I am criticizing. What would lead you to believe otherwise?
I initially thought that you chose the wrong word, but then you provided a definition. Again, please clarify what it is you are trying to say.
"I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at the oh-so-sophisticated cynicism displayed here, in which the rule seems to be that nobody could possibly understand the difference between right and wrong and hold themselves to a standard of behavior that they can be proud of."
This is your original statement of Oct. 30 11:54.
"In what sense is this projecting? If I were projecting, wouldn't that mean that I myself am cynical, and disbelieve that anyone in law enforcement can understand the difference between right and wrong, and act accordingly? I thought I was very clear that this cynicism is what I am criticizing. What would lead you to believe otherwise?"
This is your post of Nov. 2 9:24.
The line "and disbelieve that anyone in law enforcement" does not appear in your first response. You made a general statement with NO ties to law enforcement saying that WE don't know the difference between right and wrong. That was a blanket statement hence the response of projecting. Other threads have shown how you spin things around and are VERY cynical towards others.
Now if you want to be SPECIFIC and tell us that we show that we don't know the difference between right and wrong as it pertains to LAW ENFORCEMENT, well, bring it on. Show proof. I will show you post after post about issues that are THE LAW that law enforcement are turning a "blind eye" towards and using every avenue to justify why they aren't enforcing. One right off is illegal aliens. Don't try to tell me that we are powerless at the local level and that it is a compassion issue. It is the law and we do have enforcement rights. I have examples in my neighborhood that have been eyewitnessed by others where we just shake our heads at the outcome.
Then there is the national level. No illegal aliens. Then there is the documentation that illegal aliens get. General services that were made for CITIZENS. These are ALL againest the law yet the law enforcement groups do nothing. One issue. Illegal aliens. It is WRONG and we know it. Right is regular immigration and we know it.
Original comment stands. That is 3 times. Don't be cute and don't play the dense game. We already have a blogger that does that with profficiency!
"The line 'and disbelieve that anyone in law enforcement' does not appear in your first response."
Are you kidding me? Is that not the topic of this post? The entire comment from which you extracted one sentence appears at October 30, 2007 11:54 AM. You're the one playing dense. Enough.
It appears that you play "goose and gander". That is to say what is good for the goose ISN'T good for the gander. I remember you badgered Joe on an issue in another thread. We'll do it your way.
David, did you not make a blanket statement where you said that "the oh-so-sophisticated cynicism displayed here, in which the rule seems to be that nobody could possibly understand the difference between right and wrong". Yes or no?

BOONE, N.C. --- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's soccer team fell 5-0 to Appalachian State in Southern Conference action Friday evening at the Appalachian Soccer Stadium. The Mocs fall to 4-8 overall and 0-5 in league play while the Mountaineers improve to 6-4-2 on the season and 3-0-2 against SoCon opponents.
The Mocs, hit by the injury bug hard this season, had just five subs off the bench including the keeper. Chattanooga's No. 3 scorer, sophomore Hannah Wyatt (Soddy Daisy, Tenn.) suffered a season-ending injury against Davidson while the team's leading scorer junior Crystal Mackezyk (Columbia, Tenn.) was forced to watch from the sidelines tonight.
"We're very, very injured in key positions. It's hard to play against teams with large numbers," UTC head coach J.D. Kyzer said. "They dressed 33 and played 26. We just don't have those numbers, but I'm so proud of our kids. They have such a great attitude and put forth tremendous effort.
Four Chattanooga players tallied two shots each with a combined five shots on goal in the loss with sophomore Melanie Arredondo (Tampico, Mexico) putting both of hers on goal with one glancing off the crossbar. Sophomore Loryn Queen (Lanesville, Ind.) got past ASU's keeper but got the shot cleared off the line by the Mountaineer defense.
Senior keeper Taylor Mangrum (Franklin, Tenn.) made four saves while giving up four goals in 50:33. Sophomore Lauren Thomas (Germantown, Tenn.) stepped in making four saves as well in her 39:27 while allowing just one goal on the night.
The Mountaineers scored twice in the first half to lead 2-0 at the break. The first goal came in the 12th minute by Julia Holz on a pass sent in by Merlin Beckwith and flicked on by Jane Cline for her sixth goal of the season. The second goal was just a few minutes later when Beckwith sent a pass to Sam Neill just inside the box for the score.
Holz assisted on the third goal for Appalachian State who scored just over one minute into the second half on a cross to Samantha Childress for her seventh goal of the year. ASU would again score quickly to go up 4-0 in the 51st minute. Cline headed in a shot passed from Beckwith at the 50:33 mark of the game.
ASU's final goal came in the 85th minute off a corner from Jenni Loveless to Jamie Lockie who flicked the shot in for the final 5-0 margin. ASU keeper Megan Roberson made two saves in the first half and Amy Kowolsky made one in the second while the team was credited with a pair of saves.
"There were times tonight where we had total control, but we made mistakes and they were able to capitalize on them," Kyzer said. "They were a very aggressive, attacking team."
ASU outshot Chattanooga 18-8 with a 13-5 shots on goal advantage. The Mountaineers had eight shots in the first half to the Mocs' six, but went 10-2 on shots in the second half. Both teams took three corner kicks and the two were evenly matched on called fouls at 12 apiece.
Chattanooga returns to action Sunday at home when it hosts Western Carolina. The game is set to kick off at 2 p.m. Admission is free. Live stats and video/audio streaming will be available at GameDay Central on GoMocs.com.
Scoring summary:
No. Time Team Goal scorer Assist

A primary care IT specialist has predicted an "explosion" of cloud based and app technology in the sector over coming years.
Dr David Jehring, chief executive of Black Pear Software, will be sharing his thoughts at the Primary Health Info Conference 2012 running from April 23-25 in Warwick.
Dr Jehring trained as a GP but has been developing primary care software for the past 25 years.
Speaking to EHI Primary Care, he predicted a move towards more cloud-based and app-based delivery of IT services, driven by the financial incentive to push more care out into the community.
"I think there's going to be an explosion of this technology in the next two years that will transform the way we do IT in healthcare," he said. "Community is the first place that's going to hit because the real business driver for it is there."
Dr Jehring said reorganisation in the NHS was often a big driver for changes in IT and clinical commissioning groups were particularly interested in the use of community and patient portals.
"Cloud computing allows you global access to the record. It mobilises the record which is important because at the moment, the minute you step outside the GP premises you have no record access," he said.
Dr Jehring said his company has developed a cloud-based medical record for a mobile team of clinicians in Yorkshire treating wet macular degeneration – a major cause blindness in older people.
'Iris' is designed to be viewed on a number of devices, but primarily the iPad and iPhone, and enables staff to take the mobile record into people's homes.
The system does not currently connect with patients' GP records, but it will soon use Healthcare Gateway's Medical Information Gateway to pull information from EMIS and INPS records.
Dr Jehring is also in talks with other GP software providers about integration. Another application being developed is to support care for dementia patients in the community.
Dr Jehring said nurses at the Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership Trust were currently having to spend 40% of their day in front of a computer screen typing up notes.
A mobile application would enable them to spend more time with patients and save millions by reducing office space.
"We want to move them to the next generation, taking the whole paradigm away from desk based computing to mobile computing," he added. "The app paradigm compared to traditional big server-based systems is much cheaper."
Dr Jehring said healthcare computing tended to lag behind general computing and inertia and fear of change could stop worthwhile advances being made.
"If you go to any conference, library or hotel and look around, most people are clutching an Apple or Android device - the world has adopted the technology."
He said security issues were still a concern for some people and organisations. The key was not to have data stored on the device, but use the device as a portal with data stored on a server with access through authentication.
Going mobile also required some capital investment so project champions had to be clear of the benefits to justify the capital cost, he said.
Primary Health Info 2012 is organised by the BCS Primary Health Care Specialst Group. It is taking pace at Cheshford Grange in Warwickshire from 23-25 April. More information is available on the conference website.

2 way data involve patients.NeilPaul 167 weeks ago
I'm intrigued to see yet another scheme that talks about pulling data from a GP system but doesnt mention how its going to give useful meaningful data back to the GP as 1. the gatekeeper of clincial care and 2. the commissioner. Perhaps its not mentioned in the article but too many organisations want access to my data presumably because its felt to be accuate and relevant but dont specify how they are going to give me their data in a useful, efficient,accurate, timely way to allow me to keep that record.
as a patient i want to be able to log on to a portal and see who is accessing my data and why. i might like to be texted everytime someone does for the first time and id certainly like a bank fraud like check - where if i spend outside of my normal pattern i get rung. i think something similar could be easy to implement and not rely on my hard pressed GP to spot out of thousands of contacts per day.
Some preconditionstimbenson 167 weeks ago
Two preconditions for successful promulgation of apps are: (1) trusted identity management, across the whole web of care, both within and beyond the NHS perimeter; (2) consent management enabling patients (and others) to specify who can have access to what about whom. These two services are logically distinct from each other and also from the information source apps and the information user apps. The Government Digital Service seems to be saying a lot of the right things: digital.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/
I agreeAdeByrne 167 weeks ago
The headline of this article encapsulates the nightmare scenario exactly. Hundreds of uncontrolled apps with hundreds of user ids and data everywhere totally disconnected.
The government gateway might well resolve this but will it be too late? For something that is working right now take a look at healthvault. I for one cannot understand why Microsoft are doing such a poor job of marketing this platform.
Community cloud?eohl 168 weeks ago
I agree we will see more apps and a cloud service to collate the data. I wonder how this cloud service should manifest? A patient portal, possibly based on a vendor neutral architecture, allowing feeds from apps, resd/write access from hospices, funded by data needs of gps or community health.

Midwest Living Review
Although the population of this village is small, Georgetown has a huge history: Ulysses S. Grant grew up here. Gen. Grant, of course, led the Union Army to victory in the Civil War and later served two terms as the 18th president of the United States. In Georgetown, the antebellum Brown County Courthouse still graces Main Street with its eye-catching Greek Revival architecture, and the cluster of 19th-century buildings downtown makes it easy to image what the village was like in the Civil War Era. In the summer of 1863, while Grant was commanding the Siege of Vickburg, the Confederate Gen. John Hunt Morgan terrorized Georgetown during his infamous raid across southern Indiana and Ohio. Today, the restored Grant Boyhood Home in Georgetown is a National Historic Landmark. It's open on selected days from Memorial Day through October, and visitors can peek into the small room at the top of the stairs where young Grant once slept. A few blocks away is the Grant Schoolhouse, a tiny 1829 building where Grant learned to read and write. Decades later, Grant wrote about that school in his personal memoirs, recalling, "The rod was freely used there, and I was not exempt from its influence."

Pretty Little Liars
Guess Who Pretty Little Liars' Ashley Benson Wants to Play in Fifty Shades of Grey?
There's been major buzz lately surrounding Fifty Shades of Grey, and which young Hollywood actress should play the main role of Anastasia Steele.
We knew that the book was making the rounds on the set of Pretty Little Liars Season 3, and now Ashley Benson (Hanna) has revealed that she definitely has her heart set on playing Anastasia. She tells Celebuzz, "I've read every book. I want to play Anastasia."
The role would definitely be a step in the opposite direction of PLL, considering that Ash would presumably have to partake in tons of sex scenes — and not just your basic sex scenes. In the books, Anastasia signs a contract that allows an older guy to have complete physical control over her.
Do you think Ashley would make a good Anastasia? Or would the more innocent-looking Lucy Hale be a better fit?
Catch an all-new Pretty Little Liars when Season 3 premieres on Tuesday, June 5 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

What People are Saying
– Jennifer C.
Josh took so many personal things into consideration when designing my routine — he worked around my knee problems, catered to my limited schedule, and incorporated all the things I love to do (like use a boxing bag and balance board). As a result, I have a customized routine that is easy to fit into any day!
– Karen
Erica was my trainer, nutritionist, cheerleader, therapist and ultimately ended up being one of my best friends.
– C. Kilborn
Raymond devotes all of his attention on you, focusing on challenging your strength and endurance. His expertise as a personal trainer and self-defense expert is second to none.
– Adam
Training with Aleksandra has been fantastic. I have lost 20 lbs. and she makes every workout different and very challenging. I often try to guess what she could possible come up with the following week.
– Jim H.
The new Core Results facility on St. Mary's is an outstanding workout environment which is so much more personalized than a gym environment and filled with the latest equipment.
– Rusty C.
Raymond Desmarais is the reason I'm in the best shape of my life. With his talent and by having access to great equipment, I'm reaching my goals.
– Melissa B.
I spent quite a bit of time with the owner, Josh, before starting. He asked a lot of questions and helped choose a trainer for me based on my goals and personality.
– Ken W.
I am both muscle and core stronger with definition, and yes a six pack.
– Steve B.
Workouts are always designed for my specific goals in mind. Jenna is stern but yet always motivational, professional but yet always entertaining.
– Susie P.
My husband and I love working out with Josh. He is knowledgeable on fitness and nutrition.
– Wendy P.
I started my journey with Core Results 6 years ago. I love the fact that I have a plan and don't have to think about in the gym – Josh takes care of that!
– Glynis E.
Every workout is really fun but also really effective.
– Hunter A.
Core Results is a great gym for anybody who is serious about getting in shape and is willing to work hard. They will personalize your workout to make sure you attain your personal goals and can usually work around your schedule. All around a great place to work out.
– Carolyn M.
An excellent one-on-one experience with highly trained professionals with great attitudes. Highly recommended!
– Cassie G.
My mom and I started going to Core Results Personal Training with Eric about three months before my wedding. Eric gave us a nutrition program and workouts to do on days when we were not there with him. Eric is great at adapting exercises to fit our needs and he does a great job of pushing us to be better while keeping us comfortable at the same time.
– Debbie H.
My trainer, Aaron, is just fantastic. The entire gym has an open, family-like atmosphere. All of the trainers are friendly and encouraging to each other and all of the clients, and there is a sense of teamwork among everyone working out as we help each other reach our goals. The gym is always clean, organized, and well-stocked.
– Gail P.
Soooo pleased at my experience at Core Results! Not only am I losing weight and looking MUCH better – but I also FEEL so very much better inside my body.
– Raquel H.
Eric is a wonderful trainer. He knows what I can do with my level of strength and challenges me. I highly recommend this facility for anyone that needs this type of rehab, or just to become more fit. I'm sure the other clients feel the same since I see the same people every week. This investment in my health has been well worth it.

Ash Selector presents The Groove Control Show. A musical massage with soul, boogie, funk, jazz classics, future R'n'B and soulful funky house stompers.
Q1. What first attracted you to Soul Music, is this relevant today?
I just loved the sound, and started buying soul 7-inch records when I was eight years old. Once soul music is in your system, it never leaves you , I'm a music junkie looking for my next fix! By that I mean I'm always looking for new artists making quality soul music today. When you find them you're on a musical high!
Q2. What are your top 5 favourite soul tracks?
I really couldn't narrow it down, too many to choose from, but they include:
Special Lady – Second Image
There's a Reason – Hi-Tension
Overdose of Joy – Eugene Record
Bring the Family Back – Billy Paul
Make My Dreams A Reality – GQ
Q3. What are your favourite three record labels?
Q4. Who are your favourite five artists?
Leroy Burgess
Stevie Wonder
George Benson
Q5. What are your top three soul clubs of all time?
A tough one, loads to choose from. Fond memories include:-
The Lyceum
Q6. What radio experience did you have before you joined Solar?
I worked at various pirates including Girls FM and Skyline, then Choice FM
Q7. What is/are your main criteria in choosing records for airplay?
Firstly the groove, with a quality vocal and production.
Q8. Why would you recommend Solar to a listener?
The station has a history of supporting soul music to which it has always stayed true. I listened to Solar myself in my younger days and it's all still here! All DJs are given free rein on their shows and there is no playlisting, allowing the DJ to display their personal passion for music.
Q9. Which other DJs do you admire and why?
DJ Spen for his mixing skills and imagination, Greg Edwards and Robbie Vincent for the radio shows I listened to as a youngster.
Q10. How would you like to be remembered by a listener?
With a smile, because music makes me happy, and I hope the music I play brightens their day.
Q11. What do you do to relax?
Believe it or not, I watch soaps on TV or take my two dogs out.

The Handable was created to make it easier hold on to your portable device. The idea came when Aaron Block, President of Mobile Innovations kept dropping his phone and he also noticed that other people he knew had trouble holding on to theirs also. After almost two years of development, starting with a cardboard mock-up, the Handable was created.
The Handable is a small disk 1.5 inches in diameter and collapses down to 5/16″ high along with retractable strings that allows you to tighten it down to your hand. It comes in multiple colors and designs. It is held to the device with VHB (Very High Bond) adhesive. The Handable can be easily removed when ino longer needed. The Handable works on a smartphone, tablet, or ereader. They do take special orders from corporations with a minimum order of fifty. It was developed and is made in California. The Handable is $12.95 and is available on the Handable website

Down on Your Knees: GGW Picture This Photo Contest
Here's my entry in the
I get down on my knees -- and my belly -- in the mud in the early spring, because that's where all the action is here. But here are others that were under consideration:
Droplets on crocus
Bee buzzing Iris reticulata. This was actually my top choice at first. I'm partial to pollinators, and this floating bee provided a focus. If the light had been the same as my entry, this one would be at the top of the page.
Another bee shot, this time on eranthis

I love the perspective and the shallow depth of field on the first eranthis shot. makes me feel like a toad hopping through your garden.

text: A long time bug in recent kernels: Mixer settings have not been saved/restored and everything comes up very silent. I looked at the script. There are two functions in it to do this. They go through all the motions except .... there are no actual calls to alsamixer or anything like it. In other words, nothing doing. What two calls should I put in here to get the mixer setting saved and restored?

Labs has been creating and producing professional audio
hardware since 1990. These award winning products have been
used in many cutting edge recording studios, major Broadway
shows, Las Vegas showrooms, touring performances, theme parks,
ocean cruise liners, churches and project studios. The customer
list includes; Stevie Wonder, Warren Zevon, Graham Nash, Naut
Humon Sound Traffic Control, Cirque du Soleil (Las Vegas &
world tours), EFX (Las Vegas), Starlight Express (Las Vegas),
Phantom of the Opera (New York), Universal Studios, the US
Navy and many others.
CM Labs was created to satisfy the need
to pursue both the artistic and technical sides of music recording
and presentation.
Labs products are all designed and manufactured in the
United States of America. We use only the highest grade
components available to us. We are very conscious of the
trend to manufacture products overseas. In our opinion this
lessens the quality of a product and contributes to global
warming and weakening of our local economies.
1980 to 1990 Carl was a Physicist at NASA's Jet Propulsion
Laboratory (JPL). He worked on radiation testing the
microprocessor systems for the Galileo spacecraft.
While at JPL, Carl obtained 2 patents on novel particle
By this time, Carl was an accomplished musician on vocals, guitar and flute. In addition to producing many of his own
recordings, he has also performed and re-corded with Ravi
Shankar. He continued his association with Shankar, functioning
as the chief sound engineer with Ravi Shankars Music Circle
in Los Angeles for 12 years.
was the inventor of the HUI product which is widely
considered to be the first product of its type. He was also
instrumental in the design of the Pro Control and has made
many presentations about modern console design.
A few
words from our founder:
When I
design consoles, there are five important factors that I
consider to create the best designs I can. Consoles
that operate mixing and editing functions must be successful
for both. A successful console design, regardless of
price or size, has to satisfy these factors.
The console should be easy to learn, so the engineer can
rapidly learn, operate it and feel comfortable using
it. A successful design must accommodate the learning
needs of new users, but not impede the speed and depth
requirements of expert users.
The console should be efficient to use, so that once the
engineer has learned to operate it, a high level of
productivity is achieved.
The console should be easy to remember, so the engineer can
return to the console after some period of not using it and
immediately be comfortable and productive without
ERROR RATE: The console should have a low error rate so
engineers make few errors during console use and, if errors
are made, they can easily recover, and catastrophic errors
must not occur.
The console should be pleasant to us, so engineers are
satisfied when they use it and enjoy using it day in and day
I am
gratified by the many awards and very positive responses we
get from our many customers.
