Erm, no? Other companies do otherwise where do you think the opiate based medication comes from? You need a license to import it and numerous companies have said license.
Ahh, that last part explains why the Coca-Cola company is still and only company in America that is legally allowed to import cocaine. I knew it!

Erm, no? Other companies do otherwise where do you think the opiate based medication comes from? You need a license to import it and numerous companies have said license.
In the United States, the Stepan Company is the only manufacturing plant authorized by the Federal Government to import and process the coca plant,[42] which it obtains mainly from Peru and, to a lesser extent, Bolivia. Besides producing the coca flavoring agent for Coca-Cola, the Stepan Company extracts cocaine from the coca leaves, which it sells to Mallinckrodt, a St. Louis, Missouri, pharmaceutical manufacturer that is the only company in the United States licensed to purify cocaine for medicinal use.

Erm, no?
I was mistaken thinking it was Coca-Cola themselves. But, it still stands, only that one company is allowed to import coca into the United States.

... the extraction is now done at a New Jersey chemical processing facility by a company called Stepan. In 2003, Stepan imported 175,000 kilograms of coca for Coca-Cola. That's enough to make more than $200 million worth of cocaine.
So where does this 'extracted' cocaine go ... ? Do they sell it on the streets or flush it into the ocean ?

The house was even better than we imagined, located one block from the beach and one block from the town plaza, we were in the middle of the action. The style and decor of the house is simple but evokes beach tranquility mixed with Mexican charm, the furniture including beds and linens were very comfortable. We found the house impeccably clean when we arrived and the cleaning service daily was timely.
We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Siestas y Olas.
The place was very nice: comfortable and easy. The three bedrooms are spacious, bathrooms clean. Iguanas in the tree are a bonus, as is the deck upstairs.
Casa Siestas y Olas was the perfect place for a getaway - roomy, breezy, private, and close to everything you could want in Sayulita. The beach is literally steps away and just around the other corner is the town plaza, where the locals gather to share stories, play music, and just be together just about every (website hidden) meals in the upstairs palapa kitchen, watching the iguanas carousing in the trees while sipping coffee in the morning, and hosing off in the private courtyard under the palm trees after a day at the beach are some of my favorite memories from our stay. Light sleepers should bring earplugs or a white noise machine - there is a bar on the same block that gets pretty rowdy on the weekends!
We had a wonderful experience! Very clean good spot we recommend!!!
Our stay in Susan's home in Sayulita was absolutely delightful. The home is bright and cheerful and meticulously clean. The location is perfect, 1 1/2 blocks from the city square where there are great restaurants, shops and coffee bars. The home is only 1 block from the beautiful beach. Each bedroom has an air conditioner which we needed because it was very hot while we were in Sayultia. My favorite stop in the home was the upper floor; there is an open air living area and kitchen with a beautiful terrace. We enjoyed Susan's house very much and will stay there again when we get the opportunity to go back to Sayulita.

Additional Notes
Complaint: Lost sale of home due to inadequate/incompetent loan officer at MCT. We had a contract to sell our home to the *******. Their lender was MCT Credit Union on Nall Street, Port Neches. Closing date was April 5, 2013. After that date had passed **** no explanation as to why they did not meet their obligation to close, MCT requested another closing date of 4/26/13 (an additional three weeks) which we granted. After the second closing date had passed, there was not another closing date set but we were told survey had been ordered (which is final step for "set to close" process). Several days later we were told the ******* had backed out due to personal reasons. Our house had been off the market since mid-February due to the contract with the *******. ***********, loan office at MCT was handling paperwork. During the process, my husband had spoken with her and I had spoken with her. In each case, she was to get us an update on why we were not closing and was to call us back. Neither time did she return our calls. Our real estate agent also tried on several occasions to contact her for a status. ****** never answered her calls nor did she return them when our agent left messages. We had movers vacate our house on 4/2, based on the 4/5 closing date. We no longer have use of the house in Nederland as it is empty. We also have incurred additional mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, and utilities that should have ended on 4/5. The person handling their loan, in my opinion, is incompetent/incapable of getting the paperwork processed in a timely manner plus her failure to return phone calls is unacceptable in the capacity she serves. She should not have been allowed to continue handling the contract - it should have been referred to someone else that could meet the deadline set forth by the contract. We have been done an injustice and have lost valuable time for marketing the house due to the breach of contract and inadequacies. My husband and I are both retired and live at the lake. We have been unable to build our dream retirement home, awaiting the sale of the house in Nederland. This has postponed our plans indefinitely.
Desired Settlement: I would like to recoup monies for costs we are having to incur due to the deal not closing on time, or at all. MCT should have to take some type of financial responsibility since they have caused us to incur unnecessary expenses and hardships! We have no idea how long this will continue until the house is - once again - sold. Also, we are now encountering negative reactions from potential clients regarding our house being placed back on the market. People tend to think there are faults with the house since its been off the market so long - when that is simply not true. The real truth is it would have been sold had MCT been capable of processing the loan on time. Since I know MCT will take NO responsibility for this "mess", in all fairness to other clients, the loan officer needs to be removed from her position as she is incapable of processing paperwork in a timely manner. Also, the loan officer provides lousy customer service - she can't even manage something as simple as returning phone calls. I'd rather have her tell me she will not call me back instead of lying to me - which she did to my husband and me!
Business Response: Business' Initial Response /* (1000, 9, 2013/05/30) */ The party making the claim is the seller. Timeline is as follows: February 20, 2013 Date of contract March 4, 2013 Contract received from Realtor/Application made for FHA loan and disclosures sent to borrower March 18, 2013 Disclosures & check for appraisal brought in by borrower - FHA Case # ordered March 20, 2013 Received FHA case number March 22, 2013 Title work received from the title company April 1, 2013 FHA appraisal received April 1-18, 2013 Ongoing requests for additional information and completeness of documentation required for FHA lender underwriting including but not limited to asset verification, employment verification and credit April 10, 2013 Disposition of current home issues, lease agreement on current home executed April 19, 2013 Submitted to underwriting after all correct documentation was accumulated April 22, 2013 Received notice of 10 day underwriting turnaround from FHA lender May 2, 2013 Received underwriting conditions including request for new appraisal on current home May 3, 2013 Received appraisal on current home and sent to underwriter May 7, 2013 Received "Clear to Close" from FHA lender and borrower was notified. Borrower stated that he had an unexpected issue and canceled closing Typical turnaround time for FHA loans is from 45 - 60 days from date of receipt of contract and completed application. The length of time in processing depends on documents required by FHA lender underwriting. This file was complete in approximately 60 days, which is typical for a file of this intensity. Our response to the seller was limited to the extent of requirements under the Privacy Act. We did inform them that the borrowers were kept up to date of the status and they could relay any information as they deemed necessary. The complaint was filed prior to a meeting we had with the sellers. We have since met with them to address their concerns. Consumer's Final Response /* (3000, 12, 2013/06/02) */ (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.) Original closing date was 4/5/13 (which is omitted from above timeline). Second closing date was 4/26 (also excluded from timeline). The buyer's current home issues should not have entered into this transaction as we did NOT have a contingency contract. Our agent was told upfront that buyers did not have to sell their current home in order for this purchase to be completed. Obviously those issues delayed our closing date again and again. None of this was conveyed to us until we went to the MCT to voice our concerns after the deal was lost. We should have been told this so we could have made the decision whether or not to continue with the deal or nullify it and get our house back on the market. Also, why was the closing date set at 45 days if MCT knew FHA could take up to 60 days? That was misleading to us - even though they couldn't get the deal closed in 60 days either! In my opinion, MCT bears just as much responsibility in costing us this home sale as the buyers do! We've spent monies that should not have incurred had this happened in a timely manner plus we lost market time on our home due to this fiasco! We are now back where we were prior to this contract offer, which was the end of January. Business' Final Response /* (4000, 14, 2013/06/13) */ In response to Case #XXXXXXXX: The issue of the disposition of a current home is a factor in the underwriting of any home loan. In this case, the borrower was to lease their existing house. The file could not be submitted to underwriting without a lease agreement on the current home. The lease agreement was not executed by the borrowers until April 10th, which was 5 days after the initial closing date in the contract. The closing date set in the contract was determined by the realtors, sellers and buyers. MCT made every effort to meet the initial closing date in the contract. However, due to the borrowers' lack of urgency to cooperate with documentation requirements in a timely manner, the loan process took longer than expected. Even after the contract closing date was extended, required documents were not provided on time. A clear to close was received once all documentation was approved by FHA underwriting; however, the buyers decided to cancel due to extenuating personal issues ********** Vice President Real Estate Lending NMLS #XXXXXX MCT CREDIT UNION

Longoria's deal with Rays could be worth up to $44 million

Hm, I still have my $15 store coupon...
Yeah, I hate all the shirts/hoodies where it is just the logo on black. I understand it is a way to play it safe, but I would prefer a more abstract type design and in something more colourful.
Even just a white sweater with Buzz Clik's stylized GB logo on it would be 20 times better.
I expect more from you giant bomb. I want a GB hoodie, but something that doesn't scream "hey we threw this together in five seconds, BUY BUY BUY!"
The old hoodies from when the store first opened were more my speed, like the luchadeer hoodie. Also, the prize hoodies, like the AC hoodie.

I'm more of a jacket person. They look nice though.
Looks cool but my Jets to Brazil hoodie is a pullover and I only need one of those. A zip style like some have said with a luchadeer on the back and Duder embroidered on the left breast I would pay a sack full of Brad bucks for.
The logo is a bit obvious but when they do a stylized Tee they get a ton of comments wailing how they just want a plain logo - and then they do this to appease that lot and catch shit from the hipsters. Can't win.
Also, a hoodie with a zip is too close to a cardigan or a fleece.

As someone who has finally come to accept hoodies a mere month ago, this couldn't have been released with better timing.

I would like one, but the style is a little too obvious for my tastes. I would prefer an in-joke of some sort like the NARC t-shirt that is available. Maybe something saying "There is a reason everyone is talking about.....fuckin, stuff."

I can go for an obvious logo, but at least dress it up A LITTLE (example: The SR3 Hoodie has the logo, but shows it in a different style than you are used to seeing it) Literally anyone could make this on cafepress (or some site like it, dunno if cafepress does hoodies) with some patience to find a decent resolution of the logo and slap it on a hoodie, and the differences would be minimal. The Whiskey crew have proved in the past they can do better, so I'd rather hold out for a better hoodie before shelling out the dough.

1999 Dodge Durango Q&A
1999 Dodge Durango Question: Durango won't start?
Y 1999 Dodge Durango won't start? Prior, it had been making a horrible noise when the AC was on and sometimes it would get jammed and not go forward when I but the gear into drive, while making a kicking sound almost. A local mechanic told me that the AC belt was the problem and also the ignition was clogged and so no gas was getting through. I don't have alot of money to spend right now so I bought parts and I had the belt replaced, added freeon, added fuel injector fluid to the gas tank and filled it up with the best grade gas. It was working perfectly, but this morning it won't start again and I don't know what to do? I tried pressing down the accelerator and pumping it while starting and I could see smoke coming from the engine. Please help. Thank you. - Visitor

The NCUA says it's not developing a contingency plan for helping credit unions that stay deal with any new costs from more departures.
NCUA Board Member Gigi Hyland doesn't have to order a moving van any time soon. Even though her term on the board expired on Aug. 2, President Obama hasn't nominated anyone to succeed her.
Saying it only received $369.9 million in pledges, the NCUA announced last week that it will not go forward with the program allowing credit unions to prepay some of their assessments on the cost of
The NCUA has threatened to sue four investment banks if they don't refund $50 billion from the sale of mortgage-backed securities to five corporate credit unions that the agency conserved last year, according to several sources within the credit union industry.
Most of us can agree that we didn't begin our careers with credit unions because it was a way to get rich but because the movement is something we believe in.
Credit unions and other financial institutions are likely to face an added regulatory burden as a result of the regulatory overhaul bill passed by Congress this year.

A urine-based wetness of the knees and shins caused by pissing into a toilet with too much force and/or at the wrong angle of delivery. Pee knees is a very real danger to anyone who pees while standing, particularly at urinals (which are gross and infrequently flushed). Pee knees is characterized by a smelly wetness of the knees and shins, caused by reflective contact with composite urine that those so afflicted can only hope is mostly of their own making. Common methods for reducing the threat of pee knees include pissing whilst sitting (like a bitch), standing farther away from the toilet itself (best to use both hands here), or simply missing the urinal entirely until you get a handle on your flow (I always sweep in from the left like a boss).
man 1: "excuse me sir, why are you pissing on my boot?"
man 2: "pardon me, graciously, but I do not wish to be stricken with pee knees."

I have installed centos 6.2 as virtual host with KVM on servers. Each is connected via SCSI cabling to a HP-MSA500-G2. I've mounted the storage box via multipathd on box machines and both machines can see the data ( ntfs-3g ). But when I add a file via server A, server B can't see it unless I unmount and remount the multipath device - what am I doing wrong? It doesn't matter if I tell the file system to sync etc. - any idea?

Hannah Montana, a Disney Channel series, is awful. If you want to watch some obnoxious, untalented, irritating brat attempt to act and sing, you should crawl out into the middle of a Seattle street at rush hour. Seriously. She sucks.
Hannah Montana's "actress", Miley Cyrus, only has a leading role on TV because of her mullet-haired dad, Achy Breaky Heart singer, Billy Ray Cyrus. He's worse than she is, and those awful Tennessee accents are the icing on the cake. She has no talent. At all.

Hannah Montana is one of the most atrocious attempts at children's entertainment ever. I have never seen worse acting or writing on a television program of any sort. Miley Cyrus is horrendous and looks like she's squeezing one out with her same scrunched up face on each punch line. Her father is even worse. And the two boys playing her brother and fawning idiot friend are the worst mugging hams of TV since Danny Bonaducci on the Partridge Family.This is the show that makes you wonder what ever happened to intelligent children's entertainment. See lowest common denominator.
My niece and nephews brains turned to much after watching one inane episode of this Hannah Montana shlock. They are permanently scarred.

A terrible show! Its a show about some hick country singer and his daughter who can neither sing nor act, and is only decent looking if she keeps her mouth closed. Hannah Montana aka Miley Cyrusis a teen by day and pop star by night! The show does a great job at utilizing the laughing machine its sounds so realistic! For Disney this sounds like a gold mine right?.......not so much.

Video: Mich. officer hit by 'super drunk' driver in drive-thru
Robert Addie was sentenced to 2-5 years in prison for the incident
By John Counts
PITTSFIELD TWNSHP, Mich. — Police recently released the video of a 39-year-old Ypsilanti man swiping a Pittsfield Township police officer in the parking lot of a fast food restaurant last winter.
Robert Addie had a blood alcohol content of .25 and was considered "super drunk" by Michigan law when he went through the Burger King drive-thru on Michigan Avenue across the street from the Pittsfield Township police department at 1:38 p.m. on Valentine's Day.
A minute-long video recently obtained from the Pittsfield Township Department of Public Safety via a Freedom of Information Act request shows one officer talking to the passenger in the Taurus as its parked at the drive-thru window while another officer stands in front of the vehicle. As the officer in front of the car tries directing the vehicle to pull over to the side of the parking lot, Addie makes a break for it, swiping the officer who stumbles and falls to the ground.

The Dukes star will sit out the first 20 minutes of the game as his penitence, and leave his teammates with a huge disadvantage against the Blackbirds. ...

Special Order
Osprey's examination of the culminating battle of the American Civil War (1861-1865). "There never was such a campaign, not even by Napoleon" wrote Confederate General Pender of the Second Manassas campaign in which the gray-bearded Virginian, Robert E Lee, came as close as he ever would to exterminating his Northern enemies. In so doing, Lee established himself as the South's pre-eminent military commander and the Army of Northern Virginia as it's most powerful weapon. The fighting in northern Virginia left Union General John Pope's career in tatters and proved the South was a power to be reckoned with. This book's powerful account demonstrates that during that fateful summer of 1862 Lee's soldiers were fighting for anything but a lost cause.

Alfonso Soriano-to-the-Yankees talk is "very premature"
Jul 23, 2013, 3:15 PM EDT
The New York side of the reporting late last night had Alfonso Soriano to the Yankees as all but a done deal. The Chicago side, however, has come out today saying that discussions have been had but that it is not imminent.
On MLB Network Radio today, Jed Hoyer said such reports are "very premature" and that there is "nothing close at all." This is backed up by other reports saying that the talks are preliminary.
So, New York scribes: you may have to wait a day or two for that column in which you talk about how refreshing it is that the man who was once traded for Alex Rodriguez is coming back to breathe a breath of fresh air back into the Bronx or whatever it is you have planned.

Five Great Online Tools For The New School Year
- Details
As the school year begins anew here is a quick look at some useful educational grants for classrooms and teachers to apply for. Most of them are tech related, but isn't everything these days?
When I received my copy of Finale 2009 last week I was anxious to get started on doing an in depth review of it. Now that I have had few days to kick it around I am confident I can give you preliminary review of the newest music notation software product from MakeMusic. One that is not without its ups and downs.
I am a big fan of both Sibelius and Finale and have done reviews on them here at MusicEdMagic in the past. I recently received word that the newest version of Finale, Finale 2009 , is being released tomorrow, July 17th, 2008. According to the press releases there are some nice sounding improvements to MakeMusic's flagship music notation software package, namely things like easier entry of expressions by simply dragging and dropping them into the score,several different playback enhancements to the sound library, and my personal favorite, easier creation of SmartMusic accompaniment files from ensemble scores!
Those that say that MP3 recordings of music have no soul may be more correct than they realize. One of the things that makes music memorable is the emotional impact that it can have on a human being. It turns out that compressing audio into MP3 format can actually strip out the pieces of the musical recording that help to initiate that emotional reaction in our brains turning a feast for the senses into little more than a metophorical hamburger and fries.
Those of us who have spent many long semi-sleepless nights on band trips corraling hormonally challenged teenagers into their hotel rooms can take heart with this story. Good old duct tape. A million uses, several of which might get you sued...
Thanks to newsletter subscriber Rich Nicklay for bringing this one to my attention!
Imagine a preparatory teacher classroom where a beginning teacher could actively learn how to deal with classroom discipline problems without the risk of "damaging" a student's academic or emotional abilities. Every teacher has made a mistake in the classroom where they say something they shouldn't have by responding to a student sarcastically or by losing their self control and yelling. The problem for beginning teachers is that until now there has been no real way to practice such classroom management techniques without putting themselves directly into a classroom. Now, thanks to a research project between Lockheed Martin and the University of Central Florida teachers may one day be able to learn how to deal with classroom discipline problems without ever coming within earshot of a real student.
I normally don't do articles or blogs on fund raising products but I came across a new take on the old standard of door to door selling of gifts. While it probably isn't for everyone, there is nothing to deliver, and the gift selection is top notch.
I ran across this video this evening while preparing other articles for the site. The film is of a very brave thirteen year old boy striding out onto the British version of American Idol and in front of thousands of live audience members and millions at home, singing what can only be described as an incredible performance of Pie Jesu. This kid is scared to death, but it only makes you wonder what he could do if he wasn't. Such talent, and yet he is so humble. Check it out!
I often mention Guitar Hero in my blog posts. Not because I am fascinated with the game so much as I am fascinated with the hold that it has on my band students. Students that I can't get to practice for ten minutes on their clarinet will instead play for hours at a time on Guitar Hero Garage Band. Many times I have lamented that if only Activision would do something to incorporate REAL instruments into the franchise that music educators would stand up and beat a path to their door. Well, it may be time to start lining up!
This may be a little off topic for a music education site, but since so many music educators also are avid Macintosh fanatics I thought it might be fun to post it anyway. Considering the recent Illinois earthquake it seems a little timely to show how people with a mac computer can now help to analyze the jolts from the next big earthquake.

Excellent quality, and customer service was excellent.Read More
Beautiful and functional
Was so impressed when I received this fireplace. Of course it had to be assembled but only 13 pieces. Slight crack in an upper panel but I love Overstock and they quickly sent me a replacement. Looks beautiful....got the heating element to go with it and it looks like a real fireplace. Couldn't be happier. Looks like something that costs many more dollars than it actually does. Very fair price...looked at a lot of faux fireplaces on-line, found this one and fell in love. Cannot express how pleased I am with it. I've gotten many things on line and this one goes right to the top of my list. That's hard to do because I am quite "picky". I would definitely recommend this to a friend a million times over. I must also say that I've received many compliments on how pretty and functional it is. Would definitely order from this company again...they were absolutely fantastic!!!Read More
Alcott burnt Oak and Gray Faux Slate Electric Fire
The fireplace is a true addition to any room. Very well constructed and fairly easy to assemble. It took me 1 1/2 hours but I'm not real experienced in this. Great directions included. The color is off somewhat having a slightly olive gray tone but very attractive. The fire is nicer that those I have seen in awhileRead More
Silly small fireplace
Fireplace was silly small. The firebox looks like a small apartment size microwave. This item was way too over rated with 5 star reviews. I seriously wouldn't give it 5 stars even if I put in my double wide trailer. Order at your own risk. Please review the measurements.Read More
Electric Fireplace
I love the fireplace! It puts off a cozy light and a great amount of heat.Read More
Love it
We just love this fireplace. We just renovated our family room and this really heats the entire area which is approx 12 x 17 sq ft . The fire unit is so pretty and smoothing to look at. This fireplace was definitely worth the money. It was cheaper than in the department store. Love it and would definitely order from Overstock again. Also, it was delivered in about 4 days instead of the 7-10 days that was exciting too.Read More

Hello gtebo, This fireplace is stunning! I have included a link below that goes into detail about our refund policy. I hope this helps. Thanks for shopping with us. https://help.overstock.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/6
it is a beautiful piece. It looks grey but yet a wash look. I have it in my bedroom with antique white furniture and it looks beautiful. I use it to set my Tv on I hope this helps.
Does the electric version of this fireplace have a corner panel? The gel fuel version does have a corner panel, however, I do not see that description on the electric version
With dramatic styling and intricately detailed columns, the Arthur Fireplace will enhance the look of any room in your home while adding major style. Place the fireplace in your living room or move it to a bedroom for instant appeal and without the worry of installation. Add warmth to your home; order now. Can move from room to room; no installation required. Quality crafted for years of lasting beauty. Actual size is Gel Fireplace.
What do suggest when placing this piece against a wall with a baseboard? This will prevent the fireplace from standing flush against the wall, yes? Ideas?
That is correct, it would not sit completely flush. I would suggest putting a plant or pillar candles on each side of this item. Or just something tall and decorative. This is really pretty.
does this unit appear predominently grey? where is the slate? is the face mirrored, if so what color is the antiqueing in the mirror? silver? do you have to buy heating element separately?
Yes, this is more grey in color. The face is more like an antiqued metal. The antique finish is in brown. This unit looks like it has a white wash. The heating element is included.
Is this top of this fire place in the gray/metal color as well?
The top of the fireplace has a slightly darker oak finish than the front of the fireplace.

Remember Me
Rodriguez :: 11.23.08 :: Great American Music Hall :: San Francisco, CA
Rodriguez specialized in pure urban poetry in the late '60s and early '70s, focusing on what he knew best: The underbelly of Detroit, and the societal and economic conditions that fostered its seediness. The songs were built around simple, mostly catchy melodies that allowed plenty of room for raw, brutally honest lyrics, like those on "Establishment Blues": "Garbage ain't collected, women ain't protected/ Politicians using, people they're abusing/ The mafia's getting bigger, like pollution in the river/ And you tell me that this is where it's at."
But neither of Rodriguez's two exceptional albums, Cold Fact and Coming From Reality, sold well. Coupled with record label misfortune and Rodriguez's eccentricities - he often performed with his back to the audience and wasn't interested in heavy touring - his career ended prematurely. By 1971, he had enrolled at Wayne State University in Detroit and began grabbing manual labor jobs to support his family, everything from roofing to demolition. He also worked at a gas station and ran for local office in Detroit several times.
In 1979, eight years after he had played his last show, Rodriguez sold out 16 concert halls in Australia and then returned two years later to do it again on a tour with Midnight Oil. More than 15 years later, with rumors swirling in South Africa that Rodriguez had long since died of a heroin overdose or was in prison for murdering his girlfriend, a journalist tracked him down, alive and well and wondering why he'd never seen a penny in royalties for the popularity of his music a world away.
With a bounty of newfound attention, Rodriguez has been playing select U.S. dates in recent weeks, including a stop in San Francisco. When the lanky singer strode onto the stage at the Great American Music Hall, head to toe in black and wearing shades, a top hat and a peace sign belt buckle, he certainly looked the part. He was backed by San Francisco musician Tim Cohen's latest band, The Fresh & Onlys, a 10-piece group that included a full horn section. A nearly packed house was eager to be transported to 1960s Detroit in the hands of a singer who'd garnered a mythical status among crate diggers.
You couldn't ask for a better batch of songs to hear live. From the stripped-down version of "Sugar Man" to the night's most bombastic track, "Only Good For Conversation," the songs were so good and so emblematic of their era that the nearly one-hour set was enjoyable. But decades of living real life, with only sporadic and brief tours Down Under and to South Africa mixed in, are not the best way to maintain your chops, and Rodriguez was plenty rusty. His voice didn't have the power to soar on the tunes where he was joined by the full band. His stage presence was as awkward as you'd expect from someone who hasn't spent much time on a stage in recent years. Also not surprisingly, he wasn't well connected to his band on this night, stopping one tune midway in order to play the sweet solo ballad "I Think of You."
This was one of those shows that you were happy it even happened, satisfied that a talented artist was getting some time in the spotlight, even if it came decades after his zenith. As long as you went into it with that attitude, everything else was gravy. Rodriguez would be hard-pressed to capitalize on the renewed interest in his music with new albums, but he's earned the right to keep showing off the two he's already made.
JamBase | Past Sweetness
Go See Live Music!
wow, no shit jambase. very cool article i had never heard of this artist up until now and im very glad to have heard this. sugar man is a great tune and i will dig up more of his stuff for sure. good shit indeed jambase.
Cold Fact is AMAZING. I highly, highly recommend it. Thanks for the article. Love the Rodriguez!

My mother is trying to apply for a visitor visa to come to US, but she always gets denied, my sister came here 9 years ago and now she is a citizen. i came here 3 years ago on a student visa and i am expecting a baby in October. i really want her to come and spend some time with me around my delivery but previously whenever my family had applied for a visa they always have gotten denied. the embassy never gives us a good reason.
we are pakistani nationals, residing in Saudi Arabia for last 30 years. i would like to know how to i can help my mom in getting a visitor visa. do i need to reach out to the senator with my sister or do we need to write a letter to the embassy with a doctors note? or if there is any other option?
we do not have the funds to attain an attorney.
Immigration Attorney
There is nothing you can do. Mother will continue to be denied a visitor's visa due to her having her kids settled in the U.S. and herself unable to prove substantial ties to either SA or Pakistan and inability to convince the consul to depart the US at the conclusion of a temporary trip. Your sister can immediately apply for her green card, but that could take a year to a year and a half to conclude.
Kindly be advised that the answer above is only general in nature cannot be construed as legal advice, given that not enough facts are known. It is your responsibility to retain a lawyer to analyze the facts specific to your particular situation in order to give you specific advice. Specific answers will require cognizance of all pertinent facts about your case. Any answers offered on Avvo are of a general nature only, and are not meant to create an attorney-client relationship.
Immigration Attorney
She continues to be denied because immigration officers assume she has an intent to immigrate which contradicts the purposes of a visitor visa. Since your sister is a citizen (and assuming she is your mom's daughter), you should look into with an immigration attorney how to file a relative petition on mom's behalf by the sister instead. And as you can see, the money an attorney would charge would be well invested since you have apparently already lost much time and energy running into walls without one.

The consulate is likely denying the case due to perceived immigrant intent--that is they suspect your mom wants to resettle in the US not just visit. Having your sister petitioning for her as a permanent resident may be a more viable option despite the processing times.
Please note that this response is for informational purposes only and does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Immigration Attorney
If your mother can convince the consular official that she has strong attachments to SA and will be returning to SA after her visit to the USA, then she has a chance. I have helped draft letters and assemble documents for cases where a parent had been denied a visitor's visa previously. The possibility of success depends on your mother's individual circumstances. Please give my office a call if you would like to discuss this further.
