In this business we call THE MUSIC BUSINESS there are all sorts of experts, consultants, and "Biz people" who do a variety of things, from negotiating, to selling, to representing, ideas and or persons, (Artists) And among these individuals of men and women, there are good and bad, there are excellent and terrible. What I'm going to tell you is very simple, no super brain science here in this blog. For the good, the excellent, the for-real- You know who you are as well as others do.
As for the bad business persons, the swindlers, the ass-holes, you also know who you are – verily both get what they earn. No, I'm talking to the well intention person in the business, who really want to do the right things, the right ways, you want to operate of board, above the bull. This Blog is for you – When you are representing an artist, or representing certain business in a project, or somehow put in a position as a supervising A&R (many of you are doing this job for free for someone and asking for nothing), you will run into certain persons, once your artist, or project is taking off (Not have taken off- but is TAKING off) who represent themselves as A&R's for labels (Most will be lying I promise you) or Industry Consultants (there are all kinds of titles meaning just this) who will come to you with all kinds of deals they can work out for you for this "price" .
Now, sometimes, these persons bring you sweet deals, but most of the time they bring you situations that A) if you are worth your salt, you will get these situations on your own eventually) or B) You don't need at all, or ever. Once this happens to you, just remember tis one piece of advice. It is then worth it then to sumj up the amount of $300-400 and go to an Entertainment Lawyer!!!!!!! And have that lawyer analyze the offers, and then learn from the attorney why they advise you what they did, so you will know. Often it is well worth it to spend a little money or allot to make sure you are sure in this business that you generally only get one shot at. Be careful not to get into paying for meet and greets unless the person is Jay-Z or someone high profile like that, be aware of persons telling you they represent a popular artists, always check this out. Often a person, has a job with the actual manager or one of the managers(Often popular artists have more than 1 manager, it is normal for an artist to have 3 to 4 managers, all doing different things, having different jobs for the artist. Always be a FACT CHECKER!! in this business, because people will always misplace facts (Lie) If you are diligent in this area, you will no doubt save yourself allot of time, money and heart ache. I won't tell you no bull. Till next time

Study: Warmer Water Temperatures Result in Greater Toxin Levels in Fish
In lab and field experiments, researchers found that water warmed to temperatures projected to occur during climate change led to an increase in Killifish appetite. When the little forage fish's food was tainted with methylmercury, they stored in in their tissues in greater concentrations in the warmer water. Killifish are on the bottom of the food chain for bigger predators like Tuna—meaning as ocean water warms, greater levels of toxins could potentially make their way into human diets.

There's a new trend in rubber encapsulated fan fames that we've begun to notice. A totally new company called DeepCool have used this technique with all fans offered on its tower heatsinks. (see shots below)
What's your take on this style of fan? Those little rubber vibration absorbing posts that many manufacturers use can break off easily and many seem to sag precariously after several months of use... so we're wondering if this a viable alternative. What's your take?

Granito tiles installation
Installation on a well levelled concrete slab.
Usual cement adhesive. Apply on the floor and on the back of the tile to fully seat the paving.
Thin joint (1-2mm) filled with a very liquid cement grout.
The cement grout can be tainted with the condition that subsequent polishing is expected. Polishing will remove a thin layer by levelling the surface. Finishing and protection of granito tiles To protect tiles, once they are installed, levelled, cleaned and dry, the «Mosaic Sealer», must be applied. Beware of not applying in excess, the Mosaic Sealer must completely penetrate tiles and not stay on the surface.
If the look of the floor is not satisfactory after installation, cleaning/polishing with a mechanical scrubber, a Scotch Brite disc and water will remove spots and small imperfections.
You do not need to hire a specialized company as this tool is available for rent. When the floor is dry, apply the Mosaic Sealer to waterproof the tiles.
For heavy use floors, crystallization is recommended (hardness and stain resistance). The process is similar to the one of marble and granito. Consult a specialist. Mosaic Sealer is water and oil repellent
Apply on dry floor, penetrates fully into the tile. Never use in excess.
If the tiles are not properly installed or levelled, granito tiles can be polished. The wear layer is 5 to 6 mm on 20x20 tiles, and thicker on 40 tiles. This polishing is similar to the one of marble or granito - with abrasive stone or hard fibre/diamond, and plenty of water. Consult a specialist.
Maintenance and cleaning of granito tiles
Granito tiles are to be cleaned and maintained only with neutral PH soap. Just like traditional cement tiles- without marble aggregate- marble floors, natural stone or granito. We can provide you with the « Mosaic Sealer ». The neutral PH soap allows to clean the tiles and maintain them sealed.
Avoid any strong detergents, acids or alkalis as they would irreparably damage the tiles.
A damaged, stained or aged granite floor can regain its original splendour by polishing - removing a thin layer of its surface.

Also, I made a little group on espn just for fun. It's called "It's Good To Be In N.D." and I'm leaving it open to anyone who wants to join and see if they can do better than me at picking the winners (which is not actually that hard to do).

The Hanging Temple of Hengshan is an amazing display of architecture.
You would think this kind of a building couldn't for hundreds of years, but it is believed the temple was built during the late Northern Wei Dinasty (386-534AD), by a monk called Liao Ran. It was restored during the 1900s.
The gravity-defying Hanging Temple of Hengshan is comprised of 40 chambers.
Liked through a network of Passage-Ways and hosts not one but three religions. Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism are all worshiped here, in harmony.
How could a building like this withstand the winds and storms of so many years?
Hanging Monastery is an architectural wonder. A unique mechanical theory was applied to building the framework.
Crossbeams were half-inserted into the rock as the foundation, while the rock in back became its support.
Seen from below, Hanging Monastery appears to be a tumble-down castle in the air.
Inside, Hanging Monastery provides the same scene as other temples.
Construction experts from countries including Britain, Germany and Italy, come to see the monastery.
In their words, Hanging Monastery, which mixes mechanics, aesthetics, and Buddhism, is rare.
The second attraction of Hanging Monastery is that it includes Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.
Inside the monastery, the sculptures of Sakyamuni, Confucius and Lao Tzu appear together.
Which is Unusual.
There are 40 halls and cabinets, which contain about 80 sculptures made of copper, iron, terracotta, and stone.
The features are Vividly Carved.

A recent survey of 5,000 small business owners in the U.S. shows tremendous growth in exporting interest and activity. The survey, conducted by the National Small Business Association (NSBA) and the Small Business Exporters Association (SBEA) found a significant change over the course of 3 years:
- 12% increase in actual exporting: 64% of small businesses have sold goods or services to a customer outside of the U.S., compared to 52% in 2010.
- 20% greater interest in exporting: 63% of small businesses who don't export are now interested in exporting their goods or services, up from 43% in 2010.
Amongst those small businesses that do not export goods yet, the barriers seem to be minimizing:
- In 2010, 49% of small businesses sold un-exportable goods/services, but in 2013 the number dropped to 30%—This may reflect a trend towards creating more readily exportable products.
- Only 20% of small businesses feel exporting is too costly, down from 29% back in 2010.
Small businesses that already export also seem to be experiencing an overall rise in exports since 2010:
- 27% of small businesses sell goods to Canada, the most popular exporting destination—up 11% from 16% in 2010.
- 56% of small businesses have seen a total increase in their export volume over the past year, up from 46% in 2010.
These numbers show a staggering increase in exporting initiatives amongst small businesses, which may be surprising considering the economy. Does the survey really represent smaller, bootstrapped businesses? Of all the different small businesses that responded to the survey, the largest demographic of respondents:
- Worked for a company with only 1-4 employees
- Reported less than $100,000 a year in total payroll expenses
While more and more companies are choosing to go global, there are still difficulties for small businesses that dabble in exporting. For one, a whopping 41% of companies that export still worry about getting paid. And almost a third of them still feel that exporting is confusing and difficult.
Challenges aside, small businesses are exporting at an increasing rate, and their momentum doesn't seem to be slowing. In an increasingly globalized economy, many small businesses who didn't consider exporting in the past are now contemplating this path as a way to get ahead, or at least, keep up with the competition.

& Alexis Courbat, Hastings, NY
In 1804 Francis German/Germain was born in France. He immigrated to Mexico, NY before 1842. He likely came north on the Erie Canal to Syracuse, NY where he probably was approached by a French-speaking agent for George Parish, the large landowner of Oswego County, NY. He was encouraged to buy land at Colosse, an area of Mexico with a sizeable French Catholic population. There were few Catholics in the county with which to make common cause. He may have brought his wife Sophie with him to the US.

- Encourage our members to be of strong mind and body.
Chapter Update
The men of Pi Kappa Alpha have had a great semester. Since last summer, there has been ongoing construction on the chapter house. In the last year our Housing Corporation has remodeled the exterior of the house, the kitchen, parts of the front room, bathrooms, and the chapter room.
The exterior structure of the house has been repainted and the backyard entirely redone. The back deck was restrained, the basketball court was resurfaced, the fence was replaced, and new sod was planted. We also poured new front steps. In the kitchen, the floor was replaced and the brick was painted to increase sanitation. In addition, we installed a milk machine and pot rack. The front room walls were retextured and a built-ins were constructed to enclose our new 55 inch flat screen TV. In the bathrooms, new counter tops, light fixtures, mirrors, flooring and urinals have been installed. The chapter room was completed remodeled, made larger and furnished with tables and chairs for studying. Insulation has also been blown in the walls to make the chapter room a quieter environment for studying.
On November 10, we initiated 11 new exemplary men into our bonds. We also have seven new members going into the start of next semester.

I'm 6'2 and I love the XS. I have shot the dealer bow several times and even though it's not set up for me I have shot 4 arrow groups that are touching everytime, pretty good IMO. I want to order one but told my dealer to hold off until he can find out if they are going to make the all lost camo model. If not a desert tactical will be my new hunting rig.

SILVER CITY, N.M. >> Western New Mexico University recently partnered with high speed Internet provider Century Link to increase on-campus bandwidth by five times, from speeds of 40mb to 200mb.
Anyone on campus accessing the Internet recently has experienced the improved service now offered.
"The changeover certainly went smoother than we all expected," explained WNMU Network Manager Jason Collet. "The increase in bandwidth capability has opened the door for professors to offer quality online services for our students."
Not surprisingly, up until now the determining factor in WNMU's relatively low bandwidth capacity was Silver City's remote location. However a recently established Metropolitan Optical Ethernet connection (MOE), which uses multiple Ethernet connections to connect users to a Wide Area Network (WAN) provided Grant County with the potential to increase its bandwidth capacity.
"The ability to transport bandwidth has held us back until now," Collet explained. "The cost to transport bandwidth to our location has prevented us from taking advantage of faster speeds. But after working with Century Link, we are able to offer a much more efficient service and pay less for it."
For professors and students, the bandwidth increase will be noticeable in their classroom-based activities. Online video conferencing, face-to-face interactions and access to applicable video content will all be enhanced, as well as increased access to cloud based technologies which allow professors and students the ability to share data and information online instead of a computer hard drive. A massive rise in the usage of handheld devices has also played a role in bringing the need for better Internet connection across campus.
"Not only have we seen an enormous rise in bandwidth usage from portable handheld
devices, but we were also aware that one of the worst places to pick up an Internet connection was in the residence halls," Collet explained. "The ability to stream videos, operate a smart phone or play games online is now directly tied into a student's quality of life, and it is our responsibility to provide them with the what they need."
Recreationally students should now be enjoying faster Internet speeds than before. However Collet and his team have implemented an online infrastructure, which prioritizes certain types of traffic over others. "Obviously it is more important for us that a student is able to access video conferencing via Canvas than watch a TV show on Hulu," Collet explained.
WNMU's IT Department can be contacted by calling 575.538.6436.
Western New Mexico University has served the people of the state of New Mexico and its surrounding areas as a comprehensive, regional, rural, public coeducational university since 1893 and serves a student body diverse in age, culture, language and ethnic background.

(AP) A prominent longtime opponent of abortion has died in Cincinnati. Barbara Jean Willke was 90.
She died Sunday at a hospital; no cause of death was released immediately.
Willke co-authored the influential 1971 "Handbook of Abortion" with her husband, obstetrician John C. "Jack" Willke. The book has shaped the thinking of generations of anti-abortion activists.

In 1920, Julius Stulberg was brought to Montreal when his parents emigrated from Kieselien, Poland. The family eventually settled in Marshall, Michigan, where the young boy's love of music was to be realized. He received degrees from and taught at Michigan State University, where he also met his future wife. He and Esther Leiberman of Benton Harbor were married in 1941. The Stulberg bond with Kalamazoo was forged in 1943 when he accepted the post of conductor of the newly established Junior Symphony.
In 1945, the growing Stulberg family made Kalamazoo home when Mr. Stulberg joined the faculty of Western Michigan University. At the time of his death, Julius Stulberg had been Professor of Violin at Western Michigan University and Conductor of the University Symphony for twenty eight years. He had also been conducting the Kalamazoo Junior Symphony Orchestra for thirty one years. Throughout his life, his wife Esther Stulberg was his support and helpmate. Following Julius' untimely death at the age of 61 in 1974, Mrs. Stulberg was the driving force behind the establishment of the competition which memorializes his life's passions. Following her death in February of 2001, a dedicated Board of Directors, corps of volunteers and the Stulberg family assumed the mantle of responsibility for the Stulberg String Competition. In the tradition of its namesake, Julius Stulberg, the competition continues to offer career boosting opportunities to young musicians.
Julius Stulberg believed in the power of music, especially in the lives of young musicians, and he acted upon that belief. Julius himself was given his start by money from his local Rotary Club which sent him to Interlochen to study for two years when his parents could not afford to send him.
Julius' brother Morris would say that Julius was so hard working and engaged in his work that his wife had to remind him to eat. Many children and young adults received his musical advice and instruction as well as personal encouragement. He was a much loved man. Ed Gasaway, of Gasaway and Associates, Inc. and Paul Davidoff, Attorney At Law, two members of the Junior Symphony during Julius' tenure, still speak of their experience under Julius' baton with great love and respect.
* * * * * *
Stulberg lifetime Board member Morris Stulberg passed away on June 10, 2012 at the age of 90.
He will be remembered for his life of committment to the arts and for his support of the
Julius and Esther Stulberg Competition, named for his late brother and sister-in-law.

SACD & Other Hi-Res Reviews
BRUCKNER: Symphony No. 7 – Chicago Symphony Orchestra – Bernard Haitink – CSO Resound
Published on April 4, 2010
BRUCKNER: Symphony No. 7 – Chicago Symphony Orchestra – Bernard Haitink – CSO Resound Multichannel SACD – CSCR 901 706, 68 mins., [Distr. by Harmonia mundi] ****:
Not only is it a work of great proportions, but Bruckner's Seventh Symphony is irrefutably a work of consummate art and form. What better way to experience the profundity of the mighty Seventh but to revisit a performance of unequivocal significance. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) has an illustrious history in the performance of Bruckner's music, particularly during the 22-year directorship of Sir Georg Solti from 1969-1991. To continue in this lineage, CSO has joined forces with Maestro Bernard Haitink, its music director at the time of this recording, to explore this work that oversaw the final chapters of the late Austro-German Romanticism.
Following an acclaimed release with Mahler's Third Symphony, this second release on Bruckner's Seventh from the CSO's home label documents two attractive elements. First, the high-definition sound captured by engineers Christopher Willis and John Newton and the UK-based Classic Sound Limited on editing and mixing reinvigorates the four live performances that took place during May 2007. Second, an interesting symbiosis between layer and color prevails as an unifying theme in this album. The cover of this recording, for example, is an artwork entitled "Underpainting." It depicts a visual canvas of multiple layers in colors to provoke a sensual perception in range, depth and structure. In essence, these elements share much in common with Bruckner's Seventh Symphony.
Composed in 1881-1883, the Seventh was the Symphony that gained Bruckner international success when it was first performed by Arthur Nikisch in Leipzig. What could have impressed audience then in 1883, as it had now in 2003 as exemplified from the present recording? Wagner and Viennese classicism would have been attractive contributions.
First, the music of Wagner had a lifelong impression on Bruckner's own writing. But, particularly, it was "Parsifal" that had directly inspired the rich palette of sounds in the Seventh. To probe into this association, Haitink and the CSO turned a score of instrumental proportions into a soundworld of multi-faceted colors, perhaps even operatic in scale (although, interestingly, Bruckner never wrote an opera). Furthermore, Bruckner's use of the "Wagner tubas," which he introduced in the coda of the Adagio, was a tribute to the greater operatic master. Here, the famous brass section of the CSO delivered this passage from 18:29 to 19:45, and again 21:13 to 22:18 with such profundity that it had an infliction of pain and grief if one understood the context in which this coda excerpt was written (premonition to Wagner's death). From the dipoles of simplistic quietude, heard right in the opening theme of the Allegro moderato, to the spiritual climax compounded by courage and sublimity in the Adagio, these musical dipoles impacted listeners like focused beams. Haitink and the CSO transformed the dipoles of Bruckner's music-writing like packets of musical force. The recorded sound recapitulated these radiant elements with natural definition, in part aided from the acoustics of Orchestral Hall in Chicago.
Second, Bruckner wrote the Scherzo of this Seventh Symphony first. He was perhaps looking backwards into the Classical traditions inspired by Schubert and his likes. If there was one piece that evolved into the birth of Bruckner's Seventh, Beethoven's "Pastoral" Symphony would have been a relevant choice, the music of which molded Bruckner's own affinity with Austrian rusticity through the use of music language. Approaching this concept with an unostentatious but commendable attitude, Haitink led the CSO to unfold with a granite-like orchestral sonority. This was inescapable in the final moments from 12:06 to 13:01 of the Finale. Certainly, the balance of structure and form is an unknown variable behind any successful performances, and this is particularly important in the complex world of Bruckner's music when over-sentiment can pollute a musical experience. Here, Haitink resolves these challenges not only with honesty and sincerity, but together with the CSO musicians, they gives a tasteful reading to a symphony that was a homage to the colorful past.

The implication in February's Speaking Out column that government procurement officials are primarily concerned with feathering their own nests, and that procedures set up to assure quality are simply there as barriers to small business is unwarranted. The vast majority of government procurement officials are dedicated and competent.
The problem of expanding small business participation will not be solved by accusations and hand-wringing. One way to solve it is to establish a capability within the Small Business Administration to improve its assessment of the ability of a small business to perform. There are far too many cases where the SBA qualified a source that could not deliver the product. If the technical analysis provided a high probability that a source qualified by the SBA would in fact satisfy the contract, I believe government agencies would be far more prone to take the risk of awarding the contract to such a company.

Molecular Neurodegeneration 2012, 7:50 doi:10.1186/1750-1326-7-50Published: 3 October 2012
One of the best-characterized causative factors of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the generation of amyloid-β peptide (Aβ). AD subjects are at high risk of epileptic seizures accompanied by aberrant neuronal excitability, which in itself enhances Aβ generation. However, the molecular linkage between epileptic seizures and Aβ generation in AD remains unclear.
X11 and X11-like (X11L) gene knockout mice suffered from epileptic seizures, along with a malfunction of hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide gated (HCN) channels. Genetic ablation of HCN1 in mice and HCN1 channel blockage in cultured Neuro2a (N2a) cells enhanced Aβ generation. Interestingly, HCN1 levels dramatically decreased in the temporal lobe of cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis) during aging and were significantly diminished in the temporal lobe of sporadic AD patients.
Because HCN1 associates with amyloid-β precursor protein (APP) and X11/X11L in the brain, genetic deficiency of X11/X11L may induce aberrant HCN1 distribution along with epilepsy. Moreover, the reduction in HCN1 levels in aged primates may contribute to augmented Aβ generation. Taken together, HCN1 is proposed to play an important role in the molecular linkage between epileptic seizures and Aβ generation, and in the aggravation of sporadic AD.

I agree with several of the other posters, most folks can get along great their entire riding careers in nothing more than a simple snaffle. The curb bits come into play when you are looking for more; more finesse, more responsiveness, etc. The whole idea behind curb bits (any bit with shanks) is to be able to work the horse on droopy reins, no constant contact of any form.
Anyway, back to the point. I don't see much reason to change the bits you've got now, even the tom thumb (even though I'm not a fan of them either LOL). If you get a nice leather strap to put on that snaffle, that will stop it from pulling through her mouth.
Now, I'll just mention this because I'm passionate about bits and their uses and how much a change in bit really can make a difference. If you wanted to try some different styles of bits on the mare that you're currently riding in a TT (or any of the others once they are solid with neck reining), here are some nice, mild, affordable bits that would be good options for your average rider and horse.
Most of these bits, I use bits that are either identical or very similar in mechanics and they are good bits in spite of the low prices.

Wind and solar projects in South Africa to be operational by mid-2014
- Details
- Category: Other Markets

- Published on Friday, 22 February 2013 09:43
- Hits (3882)
Three renewable energy projects in South Africa – a wind farm and two solar projects – are set to deliver clean energy to the national grid by mid 2014.
British power company Globeleq Generation Limited celebrated the official start of construction of these three projects on which they successfully bid for as part of the Government of South Africa's Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme.
The procurement program is meant to aid the integration of 3,725 megawatts of renewable energy into the grid to allow South Africa meet its goal of reducing carbon emissions by 34 percent by 2022. Just this week, another company, Germany's juwi Renewable Energy also started construction of a 7-MW solar park (see related story).
These latest projects are a 139-MW wind farm at Jeffreys Bay on the Eastern Cape and two 50-MW solar photovoltaic facilities on the Northern Cape. The projects are expected to provide clean power for more than 156,000 homes, displacing over 580,000 tons of carbon emissions each year.
The projects are owned by a consortium composed of Globeleq as majority shareholder along with Mainstream Renewable Power, Thebe Investment Corporation, engineering firms Enzani Technologies and Usizo Engineering and local community trusts. Old Mutual is an additional consortium member in the Jeffreys Bay Wind Farm.
"These renewable energy projects add to Globeleq's extensive African power generation portfolio and illustrate our ability to mobilize capital for sustainable and productive power generation investments. Globeleq looks forward to working with our consortium partners, the contractors and community to successfully build the project on time, safely and within budget," said Paul Kunert, Head of Business Development for Africa.
The two solar projects will be built by Siemens under a lump-sum turnkey engineering, procurement and construction contract. The Jeffreys Bay Wind farm will also be built by Siemens plus a South African consortium consisting of Murray & Roberts and Conco. Construction will be jointly managed across all three projects by Mainstream and Globeleq.
During construction, the projects will generate hundreds of jobs and, once operational, a portion of the project revenues will go to socio-economic and enterprise development programs for the local communities.
"The start of construction of these three projects reinforces the dedication and leadership of the South African government to climate change and the necessity for diversifying the energy supply for the country," said Mikael Karlsson , chief executive officer for Globeleq. "It is yet another significant step for Globeleq in building the leading African power company and clearly demonstrates our commitment to deliver clean and reliable energy to the people of South Africa."
Globeleq, which is solely owned by the pan-emerging markets private equity firm Actis, focuses on developing economically sustainable energy projects in the emerging markets in Africa and the U.S.. These three projects will be their first in South Africa and some of the largest in the country. – K.R. Jalbuena

I only recently acquired Sublime text 2, so far I am loving it.
Only just now I tried installing the SCSS package but I'm getting an error message:
Error parsing snippet: Error parsing plist xml: Error document empty. In file "Packages/SCSS/Snippet/background-clip%3Aborder-box.tmSnippet"
In file Packages/SCSS/Snippets/background-clip%3Aborder-box.tmSnippet
After I click OK, SCSS isn't working but it does seem to be something installed since I have to remove the package (which seems to go succesfully) before I can try to install it again.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
