This may be the golden age of presumptuous ignorance. The most recent demonstrations of that are the Occupy Wall Street mobs. It is doubtful how many of these semi-literate sloganizers could tell the difference between a stock and a bond.
Reading and the BrainWritten by Sam Blumenfeld
In a recent article on whether one should be optimistic or pessimistic about America's future, I quoted the former chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts who wrote in Commentary magazine:
I remain optimistic in general terms about the United States.... I am far less confident, however, about the nation's cultural and intellectual future. There has been a vast dumbing down of our public culture that may be irreversible. There can be no doubt from the many detailed and reliable studies available that Americans now know less, read less, and even read less well than they did a quarter of a century ago.
How does a successful liberal playwright and screenwriter such as David Mamet become a conservative? In a way he probably has always been a conservative but didn't know it. When you have grown up in a liberal cocoon in which all your friends, teachers, colleagues, and relatives are liberal Democrats, you tend to go along with the flow.
Obama Is Not an InsourcerWritten by Bob Confer
As an industrialist, I've taken an interest in President Barack Obama's insourcing kick which has occurred over the past few weeks, highlighted by his weekly radio and Internet address on January 14 and a speech delivered in the East Room of the White House a few days earlier (I'm certain that he'll talk about it during this week's State of the Union Address, too). By "insourcing," the President refers to a reversal of the outsourcing trend by American manufacturers. Some of them, though few in number, are bringing jobs back to the United States.

The decline of the Amp
In a thread regarding Dem0n0us' quest for the best amp to run his Bass and His Guitar through, he found himself open to an idea that is really overlooked and not outside of the box, but is outside of our conventional images of Amplification.
Salesmen now seeing him in his quest probably think that he is going to use some products as 'a guitar amp', but what is this notion that we have of 'a guitar amp', and is it real?
What most guitar players had in their lives in the form of a tiny practice amplifier is a modern presentation of the first Lap Steel Guitar Amplifiers ever made and marketed in the 40's IIRC.
It has not changed much, save a trasistion to Solid State, but it is really the same function and volume levels as originally applied.
Leo Fender came along and made the next impression with some wild effects and 2 huge 12" speakers and shook things up with the Twin Reverb.
Save perhaps for the Introduction of Sunn Amps, which I believe were all about Bass, Amps, even the Fender Bassman, never were anything more than the RCA Amplifier designs as previously used for the Lap Steel Guitar.
You see, there was no such thing as 'a guitar amp', there were only amplifiers, and in musical instruments, the guitar came first.
Does that mean all Instrument Amps are Guitar amplifiers?
In some standards of thinking only within what was before, inside the box, yes they all are.
Things would have remained as they were with Fender's RCA designs until Kieth Moon. The Drummer for the Who.
He is really the guy responsible for the evolution of the Guitar amplifier. Had he not appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show, or some TV show, with the Who and proceeded to strap a quarter stick of dynamite to his drum kit bowing it to pieces next to Pete Townsends Ear, Pete would not have had to make excuses for needing a louder Amplifier.
So the Story goes, Pete goes to the now famous Music Store in London where there is an EE in the Back who develops the Marshall for him. But alas, things are far from complete.
You see, Bass Waves take twice the energy to produce than High frequency. So by the time that the Son of Marchall (Hiwatt) was introduced, the man really responsible for the Stacked Backline was running Two Hiwatt Stacks opposite Pete's 1. That was Who Bassist John Entwistle, imagine that, a Bassist Running 2 Guitar Amps!
That is all that there were, in all reality.
It was not until a young American flew to England and was shown the available equipment for his European Tour did the first shot in the Stack War get fired by the Young Jimi Hendrix.
Pete told the story of meeting Eric Clapton incognito in a Theatre to tell him that he had shown Jimi the Hiwatt and the Marshalls, and Eric speaking dread asked Pete which one he selected. Pete told him Both, 2 of Both.
The rest now gets better. The golden age of Sound Renforcement kicks in.
The kids here do not know that it took an easy 15 years for Sound Renforcement to kick into gear. It was the Backline Stack Wars that drove them to technological necessity to produce THE POWER AMPLIFIER. High output Power Transistors really made that Technologically possible. The much venerated Crown DC-150's and DC-300's were the apex of reliable performance and in your face power.
The days of the Guitar Amplifier where long numbered then, the Bass Amp not so, as the guitar amps were making themselves necessary due to the tone that was being produced by the operators.
It would take Digital Technology and Amplifier and Cabinet Modeling to begin to close the door on the function and necessity of 'a guitar amplifier'.
There is no point in running an amp model of a marshall through a Fender Twin or anything else. The point is for recording, and while it might not be perfect, it can get the player in the neighborhood of the tone.
So in recording, what is playing the Guitar tones?
Headphones and studio monitors, 2-way and 3-Way, just like modern sound renforcement.
I experienced the first discard of my Bass Amp at Atlanta Soundstage, where they showed me to the DI Box. The Sound Engineers at the Studio where Kansas recorded Point of No Return and Left Overture had no idea what to do with my PB-1 with a Direct out on it. It even had a ground lift despite the protestations of the Engineer.
My second was where Clair Bros was running sound for Petra, and the 2 Meyers Cabinets per Side on the Side Fills was stunning. So, I shut my Micro-Tech 1000 down and ahd the Cabinet removed to the trailer.
The Guitar Amplifier and its Cabinet(s) is made pointless by Modeling because modern Sound Renforcement is so stinking accurate.
In Dem0n0us' experience, the guys who make a living selling us Guitar this and Bass that do not want to get it, the individual Instrument Amp is easily pointless, when a Powered 3-way Sound Renforcement cabinet is available to reproduce all of your tone and the nuances of the Digitally modeled Amp and Cabinet.
Never has a generation of Guitarists had so much availabe to them at their fingertips, that they do not NEED to transition from the Lap Steel Gitar Amp of Practice to a 150 Watt Head and 4x12, but can now go to Studio or performance quality 3-way Powered Cabinets, without even needing to buy that venerated item known as THE POWER AMPLIFIER.
So what Guitar of Bass Amp should I buy?
Don't buy one if you have your Digital modeling Preamp and have not used that to discover what inspires you and what to go after. Use the Practice Amp and run direct into the PA for performances until you can get your own little tower of power.
This is your generation. This is your time to add to the Revolution. In that process, you might find something better than your Grandfather and Great Grand Father's Guitar Amp Digitally Modeled.
As I was told in the 80's, Molly Hatchet was a Peavey Endorser with their wall of Peavey, but in the back were 3 Mic'd Mesa Boogie Combo Amps.
Like I heard the TBForum chatting up Anthony Jackson not using an Amp, but of all things as I learned, Powered Meyers Cabinets.
Like I was told a couple of Weeks ago by a ShowCo. Worker, Joe Perry has Marshalls behind him, but a little 1x12 Combo is Mic'd off Stage.
Stop looking at instrument amps, unless you are really smitten by one in particular.
Sound Renforcement has equalized the tempest caused by Kieth Moon's playing with explosives. Digital Modeling allows a new player to shop the sound that really gets him going.

Minor point: Sunn made a number of guitar amplifiers; some of which were pretty cool. To this day, the Sunn Model T guitar amplifier is much sought-after by Doom Metal players. And of course, they made the legendary (and loud as all hell) Coliseum Lead guitar amplifier:
While I agree that digital modeling devices have yet to be properly explored by bassists (guitarists will never let go of their tubes), my problem with going direct - as so many bassists seem to do today - is that it forces you to put your tone and your level entirely in the hands of your FOH sound person. Now, if you have a good sound person and he or she works with your band on every gig, then this isn't a problem. but to leave your tone and your level to the not-so-tender mercies of some unknown person at a club, who may or may not know what he or she is doing, is asking a lot. A bad FOH sound person can ruin a gig with a few turns of a knob and a few drifts of a fader.
That having been said, I've currently got three D.I. boxes: a SansAmp RPM rackmount unit, a Hartke VXL Bass Attack and an MXR Bass D.I. They're all remarkably capable devices, and I have yet to use them to their full potential.
One thing that may hang up the whole D.I. Box / Digital Modeling revolution in the bass world is the advent of very good micro amplifiers with serious power levels. An 800-watt bass amp with great tone that weighs less than five pounds and fits in the zippered compartment of a gig bag is a mighty tempting way to go.

As an owner of an EDEN WTX 500 head, I have to say there is some merit in this statement. I literally carry mine in a backpack to most gigs and its able to comfortable get out there out in the mix.

Fatal Gear,
Perhaps the story will get some to begin thinking outside the Box, that you do not have to have off the shelf Guitar or Bass Amp to do what you want.
Sound Renforcement Caught up, and we trust that equipment with our whole mix, it is now more affordable, it could prove to have fewer limitations.
Chatter Box here talks of using his Rumble only for the Power and Speaker sections.
I use all of my 300w Combo, except the EQ, I already have 4 others (if I had not gotten it right before I got to that last one, I am lost).
Anthony Jackson was pointed out as not using a Manufactuter's Amp Head. His Rack does not even have a Power Amp in it. He has a Tone Stack Rack, and Powered Speackers.
This is what one of the hottest Players who ever has played is doing. People ask about his tone, and they have no Amp company to look to.
Yes Toobs will be a part of what we do. Even Digital gear sounds better through 1-3 12ax7 tubes.
There is plenty of Tube Tone Origin in older Floor MFX (Digitech BP8), Tube Stomp Pedals, and Rack Pre Amps and Channel Strips (Avalon, Neve, Urei, API). You do not have to even buy a Tone Stack, or a Manufacturers power section. You do not have to be inconvenienced by someone elses incarnation of what they want you to think you need.

+1. Compared to some of the more recent micro heads my Markbass might even be considered a little clunky, but I can still shove it in my backpack, grab my bass and go. Then it's just a matter of plunking it down on a buddies cab and just like that I don't have to haul a cab across town or up on campus to practice or jam. I know that's not everyone's situation, but for me it doesn't get much more utilitarian.

As I said, it is not the equipment that I do not trust. I often do not trust the person charged with running that equipment. There are a lot of rank amateurs in the FOH business, as well as people with rigid, preconceived notions of how the mix should balance. And some of these types do not confine their incompetence and destructive fiddling with the board to the FOH arena. Some of them work in studios as engineers, and they wouldn't know how to process a good bass mix if you held a gun to their head. I've seen so-called "engineers" in L.A. who wouldn't know a crossover from a cross-dresser. Heaven only knows how they made it so far in the business.
I do not like turning over complete control of my sound or my level to someone else. There are too many ways by which they can screw with you. I had one gig in particular (many moons ago) where the FOH guy felt that the bass should be seen but not heard. The other people in the band couldn't understand it, either. When it became clear I could not reason with him and there were too many witnesses for me to just do away with him at that moment, I unplugged the microphone from in front of my cabinet, plugged in the other two cabinets and showed this guy what 1800 watts going into 8x10s and 2x15s can do. People actually applauded. This guy had ruined the mix with his "expertise," and the audience could tell it. Fortunately, my oversized and grossly overpowered rig allowed me to take all control of my sound and level from him. All he could do was sit there and fume. One of the guitarists soon did the same thing. Fortunately in those days, everybody played through really big amplifiers.
The whole digital modeling thing is interesting, but you have to ask yourself: "Why bother?" The only reason to switch to a different setup from the traditional amplifier and cabinets is if you get some significant benefit. So far, I haven't seen any. The affordable digital stuff doesn't sound very good, and the good digital stuff (think: Fractal Audio Axe-FX, DigiDesign Eleven, etc.) cost at least as much as a good amplifier, they don't appear to sound any better, and the myriad of digital effects they offer are of little use to the average bassist. The units are no lighter than one of the new Class "D" micro amplifiers, they don't sound any better, and a traditional speaker cabinet loaded with Neo Speakers is a hell of a lot easier to move than a powered speaker cabinet (and they don't have catastrophic overheat failures). So the question remains: what is the benefit?
The fact that (insert name of famous bassist) uses an unusual setup is of little importance to me, because what is good for him or her may not suit me, and because if I use that standard, then the argument is a dead loser. Far more famous bassists use and continue to use a traditional amplifier setup. Everyone needs to find what works for them. The other thing to remember is that famous musicians tend to switch gear like most people switch socks; particularly if there is an endorsement deal in it for them.
Everybody has to figure out what works for themselves. You are correct: there are non-traditional ways to proceed, but it all comes back to the question: "What is the advantage?" There is a reason that there is a traditional way for us. The traditional way works, and it works very well. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I have to chime in on the Anthony Jackson comment. It works for him for several reasons and I actually had the opportunity to hear him explain it before a performance once.
His rig is ideal for where he plays out mainly--small to medium jazz clubs, which are really attuned to upright sounds rather than electric basses. His setup really works well in that type of venue and is why quite a few upright players are adopting it as well. And in jazz clubs I can assure you the body behind the sound board tends to know what they are doing to work with that kind of setup. Anthony also joked that at his age and size, he had enough "baggage" to drag about without taking a huge rig as well.
I do think that for upright players, the elimination of the amp makes sense. While the Acoustic image 2 ten series comes close, I still am not happy completely with any amp I've played an upright through. So I am considering going the A. Jackson route for when I gig with the upright.

It wasn't so much amp wattage in the 60s & 70 that created the need for the two 4x12 stacks.
Anyone in those days could make very high wattage amp without a problem, what they couldn't make back then was genuine efficient high wattage handling speakers hence the 4x12 stacks due to 25 watt 12s being the norm.
I had the highest watts handling speaker available in the UK back in 64, an 18" 50 watt Goodmans Audiom 90.
It wasn't until the latter 70s that the Fane 100 watt Crescendos and 200 Watt Gauss 15s appeared.

I'm one that will probably never give up using an actual amp stack mic'd on stage or recording. I never liked the sound I get when I'm DI'd.

I agree about LA Venue sound men,
I do not recall hearing a local guy who ever did anything Right.
I watch them look at computer screens and performances, as if the equipment will plug mic in and turn them up, or they are just burnouts that can no longer play music as well as run a system.
Due to the products produced recently, there are good used High Quality items like Powered 2 and 3 Way Cabinets that are available for very reachable prices, to make a flexible Guitar and Bass System, just by switching the Preamp section.
Some are more powerful than others, and as you add units, there is never an issue of Ohm and Watt matching.
Nevertheless, the Bass Amp takes a huge hit and disappears when it is Studio time, as Direct Boxes take over.
Last time a Sound Co. worked with me the guy heard me tuning and directed his Hands to get a mic. I said, I have a direct out, You do not have to mic this amp. He turned to me and said, I have to mic this one!
It is nice to find sound engineers who appreciate an Amp.
There are not very many.

last time I went into the studio my amp/combo which I put together using an Ashdown RPM1 preamp with a BK 400 watt electronics power module into a 450 watt 15" Eminence Neo was placed in its own sound room so as not to interfere with anything else and mic-ed up not DI'd.

I sometimes think the only thing they consistently do efficiently is send you a bill. I haven't been in a studio in a long time, but I know plenty of people who have and they aren't impressed (most of the time, anyway).
I am reminded of an interview with Tom Scholz of Boston that appeared a few years back. When the band landed its record contract, he was very nervous about going into the studio because he thought the engineers there would stand head and shoulders above a self-taught recording engineer like himself. He was astonished at how many things these studio gurus did not know how to do, such as spot-erasing (before the digital days). Boston's first album ended up being almost entirely the recordings Scholz made in his basement.
If I were going to record a professional piece by going direct, I think I would insist on having a good speaker simulator (like a Palmer) in the signal chain. I am told that they make a world of difference.

i can see bass heads/DIs taking precedence, but (as a huge supporter of the axe-fx) the modeling world isn't very big in the bass world just yet. the periphery guys got great results tone matching with a b7x with the ampeg models on there, but that's about the extent of its abilities.
plus, while the $2600 is very easy to justify for guitar - where the amps being sampled often incredibly expensive and the effects are innumerable - you could probably just buy the ampeg and 8x10 and throw in a solid bass for the same price (or, as above, just get a good micro head and DI it)
something i've been meaning to look at, also: redwirez IRs (cab simulators) seem incredible, has anyone tried them with a DI signal? once i get the budget up for my mini-studio, it's the first software i'm investing in aside from cubase 7.

Helio Castroneves' fence-climbing skills got a little rusty last season.
The two-time Indianapolis 500 champion performed his scaling
victory celebration only once last year. And that didn't come until
the IndyCar Series season finale, when "Spiderman'' won for the
first time in 19 races.
"It was hard, all season long waiting to win a race. ... It was
a great relief,'' Castroneves said. "I don't want to wait that
long this year.''
Castroneves won't have to if Team Penske can pick up with the
momentum it built at the end of last season.
Not only did Castroneves win the finale at Texas, he finished
the season with an IRL-record four straight poles. The Penske team
obviously was figuring out car setups with the smaller 3-liter engines
the series switched to after the Indianapolis 500, and are
unchanged this year.
"It was a learning curve, and we learned a lot with that
situation,'' Castroneves said.
Sam Hornish Jr. started on the front row alongside his Penske
teammate twice during that last four-race stretch and rolled off
from the No. 3 spot another time.
Penske had bookend wins last year, with two-time IndyCar Series champion Hornish winning his debut race with his new team -- just ahead of
Castroneves -- in the season opener at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
But Andretti Green Racing's four-driver team dominated in
between, winning eight of the other 14 races with 36 top-five
Tony Kanaan became the first driver in a major racing series to
finish every lap -- 3,305 over 16 races -- and won the championship.
Teammate Dan Wheldon was second. Dario Franchitti and Bryan Herta,
the other Andretti Green drivers, were sixth and ninth.
"Well, we set the standard for sure,'' Kanaan said. "Right
now, yeah, they're definitely looking at us, and they respect us.
But you know, we're also looking ... we're looking for Penske,
we're looking for Rahal.''
All will be at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday (ESPN, 2 p.m. ET) for the start of the IRL's 10th season.
Hornish has won three of the four IndyCar races on the track. The
300-mile race is where Kanaan had his worst 2004 finish -- eighth in
the opener before 15 straight top fives that included three wins
and six runner-up finishes.
This will be the IndyCar Series' longest season with 17 races -- including
road-course events for the first time.
The league is breaking from its all-oval format in the third race
this season, on a temporary road course through downtown St.
Petersburg, Fla. The series also will run on road courses in
Sonoma, Calif., and Watkins Glen, N.Y., later in the year.
"I'm like a kid in a candy store,'' Castroneves said of the
chance to race on road courses again. "We're keeping the same
ovals, but people enjoy road courses. It's going to be
Former driving champion Michael Andretti, who co-owns the team
with Kim Green, got an IRL title in just his second season as an
Roger Penske won 11 national open-wheel championships over three
decades before moving from CART, but the car owner goes into his
fourth IndyCar season without a title. Buddy Rice finished third in
points and won the Indianapolis 500 for the team owned by former
driver Bobby Rahal and late night talk show host David Letterman.
There are 22 drivers on 13 teams this season.
IRL founder Tony George is even a team owner in the IndyCar Series now, having acquired the assets of Kelley Racing this offseason.
"Why? Because I believe in this series. I believe in the
opportunity it represents,'' George said, explaining his reason for
becoming an owner. "As the offseason wound down, it became obvious
that we needed a car count.
"We were going to need to keep all that equipment that Tom had for
sale in the system. There were a lot of teams looking at acquiring
bits and pieces of it. But I felt that the best opportunity was to
try and keep it together for someone.''
Ed Carpenter, George's 23-year-old stepson, will drive the car
for Vision Racing LLC. George has promised his ownership will not
influence decisions and rulings by race officials.
Scott Sharp, who drove for Kelley, has taken his Delphi
sponsorship and will drive a car for Fernandez Racing. Sharp is the
IndyCar Series' most experienced driver with 98 career starts and was a
co-champion in the series' first season.
That team will be separate from Fernandez's team for Kosuke Matsuura,
last year's top rookie.
But missing from the cockpit -- at least at the beginning of the
season -- will be Adrian Fernandez, the owner-driver who defected
from the Champ Car World Series to the IndyCar Series last March. Fernandez
won three of the last six races, including two in a row before the
finale, but he lacks sponsorship for this season.
Patrick Carpentier jumped to the IndyCar Series this season after eight
years in CART, joining Red Bull Cheever Racing as a teammate to
Alex Barron. Carpentier was third in CART last season.
Danica Patrick moves from the Toyota Atlantic Series to become
the third woman in the IndyCar Series. She's part of Rahal
Letterman's three-car team with Rice and Vitor Meira.

I heard about this park from friends in another RV park. It's everything they said! Quiet, peaceful, very well managed! Owners are great folks and very accommodating. Starry nights listening to the elk and owls. I've been here since May 1st and will stay until late fall and I will be back next year! - Dean M

This is a very nice park located about 3/4 mile south of Alpine along the Coronado Trail on Hwy 191; the park is on the east side of the street. Definitely the best park in the Alpine area. Most sites have large pine trees, and sites are level with full hookups. The owners are very nice and accommodating. The park setting is in the pines at 8050 feet. It is a nice quiet setting with beautiful surroundings. Lots of hiking and ATV trails for those that love the outdoors. We stayed here for one month. - Skis

If you don't mind boondocking, quiet nights, starry skies, and the occasional zombie squirrel peeking in your coach windows, then this is the perfect place for you. This is a US Forrest Service campground, so not many amenities, but they do have a boat ramp, allow tent camping, trailer and RV parking, picnic tables at all sites, toilets nearby, and really cold drinking water from a natural spring. I would highly recommend getting a reservation from the website, we just showed up and happened to luck out and get one of the last spots. It was not the most level site ever made, they could probably take a dozer and flatten some of them a little better when they get a chance.

All the dash lights go crazy sometimes. It looks like a marqee at times with letters, numbers and crazy patterns scrolling across. Get alarms when nothing is wrong. Had it to the dealer many times, but they always said it didn't store any codes. All those flashing, scrolling lights create quite a distraction at night.

In the summer, they provide ample shade. In the fall, they bring warm colors to the east Vancouver streets.
In the winter and other wet months? Well, according to some complaints fielded by the Cascade Highlands Neighborhood Association, sycamore trees can be a nuisance.
Several residents have complained to Cascade Highlands Neighborhood Association Chairwoman Jean Kent about the twigs and leaves clogging streets in this neighborhood west of Southeast 164th Avenue and bounded by Mill Plain and McGillivray boulevards.
There are about 100 sycamores in the Cascade Highlands neighborhood.
Leaves fall more persistently in the winter and spring months when a certain disease plagues many of the majestic sycamores, large trees known for their wide canopies. Called anthracnose, the disease causes the trees to drop more leaves and smaller twigs — and wet weather exacerbates the process, said Charles Ray, Vancouver's urban forester.
Some residents living near the trees aren't happy about the mess. The problem is twofold, Kent explains: First, the tree roots have interfered with some house foundations, "although this is a rare situation," she said. Second, it's hard to keep up with cleaning up all the leaves.
So far, the issue hasn't had a far-reaching effect on the neighborhood, she said. No trees have had to be removed.
"There was some discussion with a few individuals about removing the affected trees and replacing them with another species, but the trees are not in any way a danger and the problem is merely one of maintenance, not safety," Kent said by email.
Many benefits
Not all people see the trees as pesky.
Some neighbors, like arbor enthusiast Erika Johnson, see the benefits of the sycamores. Also the Friends of Trees volunteer coordinator, Johnson listed off a few perks: The trees along the roadways are known to slow traffic because they narrow a driver's field of vision. Also, mature trees on private property increase the value of the home because of their aesthetics.
"It just seems like you're going to get people who are pro tree and people who see" the messy pitfalls, she said.
Budget cuts
The trees' upkeep used to be handled by the city of Vancouver. Kent said city workers would come two or three times a season to spruce up the sycamores on public property — but severe budget cuts have stymied their resources, so the job rested on residents' shoulders.
The neighborhood has organized three cleanup events over the past year, when residents banded together to clean up the streets and yards.
Both Kent and Ray say they are open to answering residents' questions about trees and addressing concerns as they move forward.
"It's a wonderful species and we don't want to condemn them for a disease," Ray said.

Local vigil calls for peace, not anger
Published: Saturday, August 16, 2014 at 8:14 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, August 16, 2014 at 8:14 p.m.
The Rev. Roland Julien of the St. Patrick Catholic Church in Gainesville led the room in prayer as the heads in the church bowed in silence.

"Our prayers are, first of all, for our brother Michael Brown," he said.
The Bartley Temple United Methodist Church held a candlelight vigil Saturday evening for Brown, the 18-year-old from Ferguson, Missouri, who a police officer shot and killed last weekend.
The Rev. Milford Griner, pastor of Pleasant Plain United Methodist Church in Jonesville, said he organized the vigil with a few goals in mind. The first was a call for prayer.
"Prayer is always a unifying and calming agent," he said.
Prayer isn't always enough, though, said Julien, who was invited to the church by Griner.
The second goal was to get community members to call for peace and to not let anger dictate the national discourse, Griner said.
Another motivation was to have those at Saturday's sparsely attended vigil to discuss practical action that could be taken to prevent deaths such as Brown's.
"Why are we taking time out here in Gainesville, Florida, to deal with what happened in Ferguson?" Griner asked. "What affects one or some affects all of us," he said.
What happened in Missouri could happen in any community in the country, he added.
Paul Ortiz, a history professor at the University of Florida, took the microphone to discuss demilitarizing police forces around the country.
"This is an area where I think we can really make an impact," he said.
Ortiz, who served in military operations in Central America in the '90s, said he was shocked to return home and see police forces using so much military equipment.
People from all political orientations and parties are having a second look at whether it's a good idea to have such a militarized police force, he said.
"Police and military have too much power to wage war on their own citizens," he said.
Harvey Ward, a candidate for the Alachua County Commission, encouraged the audience to recall their own youths.
"I was an 18-year-old boy. Eighteen-year-old boys do stupid things," he said.
"I would encourage the police to stop and think," Ward said. "Eighteen-year-old boys do stupid things, but that doesn't make them the enemy, regardless of the color of their skin."
Ward said the officer who shot Brown was probably terrified, so it's not productive to direct anger to him.
"Be careful not to direct anger," he said. "It starts with urging them to think."
Ward agreed that communities should focus on getting military items out of the hands of the police.
"When you have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail," Ward said.
Gwendolyn Simmons, a professor of religion at UF, stressed the need for more political organization and involvement in African-American communities.
Another important course of action is education and dispelling stereotypes, she said.
"There's a lot of fear on the part of police officers," she said, in regard to their perception of young black men.
Simmons called for the establishment of citizens' review boards that would oversee police departments.
As the dialogue continued, the Rev. Griner took the stage again to point out that the problem could not be solved in one night, and more detailed and comprehensive conversations would need to be planned.
"That will give us more time to get the word out and solicit feedback," he said.
Gainesville Police Chief Tony Jones is working to bridge the gap between citizens and the police, Griner said. In the wake of the incident, he will probably continue to do so, Griner added.
The audience then gathered around the candle to be lit in remembrance of Brown.
"As we light this candle, we do so in Michael's memory," Griner said. "We do so in the name of peace."

Is He Your Righteousness? (6 of 8) by Jeff Schreve
This content is part of a series.Is He Your Righteousness? (6 of 8)
Series: What is His Name
Pastor Jeff Schreve
Jeremiah 23:5-6
Mother was in the kitchen and little four old Jack was in his bedroom playing with his two year old sister. And as mother was cooking she heard this blood curdling scream and so she ran into the bedroom and there she saw her little two year old girl pulling Jack's hair, four year old Jack, and he was screaming it hurt so bad. And mother came in and got the little girl to quit pulling the hair and said to Jack, he was mad, and she said "Now listen, Jack you can't be mad at your little sister she doesn't know that, that hurts." So she said "You guys play I? going to go finish in the kitchen." About 2 minutes later she heard a blood curdling scream coming from the little girl and Jack ran out and said "Mom she knows now!" We're in a series on the names of God and we're learning new things. Things we didn't know before but we know now and we've looked at the name Yahweh or Jehovah, the Great I am. We've looked at the name Elohim, the God in Whom nothing is impossible, Who always keeps His word. We've looked at the name Adonai, Master and Owner, we've looked at the name El Shaddai, God Almighty, the God Who is able to satisfy. We've looked at the name Yahweh-Jireh or Jehovah Jireh as most of us know it, the Lord Who provides the Lord my Provider. And today we want to look at the name Yahweh Tsidkenu, Jehovah Tsidkenu. Now there are lots of names for God in the Bible you know I'm doing this series and we could go for probably the whole year and I could do another name for God and so I'm trying to figure out which ones the Lord really wants me to do. And so I called our Associate Pastor, called him up on the phone, and I said "For this Sunday I'm thinking of doing Jehovah Tsidkenu what do you think?" He said "I don't know that name at all. I don't know about that." But you know that's a name most people don't know about. They said "Well you know I've heard of Elohim and I've heard of Yahweh and I've heard of Adonai and Jehovah Jireh, I've heard of that name but I've never heard of this Jehovah Tsidkenu." Jehovah Tsidkenu is a great, great name for God. It's a name that means the Lord our Righteousness, the Lord our Righteousness, Jehovah Tsidkenu. It's a name that once you understand it and once you apply it to your life it changes your life, it changes your eternal destiny and it changes your daily life.
Now let me ask you this question, "Do you think today you could use a touch from God? Have you gotten yourself in a situation and your walk with God where you're just failing and failing and failing and you're feeling guilty and guilty and more guilty because you just can't seem to get out from under this particular sin?" Maybe it's internet pornography so many people struggle with that. Maybe it's with bitterness maybe it's with sexual immorality, your struggling with your boyfriend, your girlfriend. Maybe it's with greed maybe it's with jealo ...

After years of working with many successful musicians and entrepreneurs it became apparent that there were certain key ingredients to their success. This started a passionate curiosity to better understand what exactly it was that set the successful apart from those with talent but no music career in their future. Were they simply born to be successful? The quest for the answer lead to an extensive research of successful musicians, artists and CEOs through to athletes and the world of neuroscience.
With the answers I wanted to present a resource that gave the reader the mindset, tools and approach for success in music. And I wanted it to be a book that related to left and right brain thinkers alike, hopefully connecting the two. The result is Musicpreneur: The Creative Approach to Making Money in Music.
If you have talent, a great idea, a dream, but don't know how to turn it into a business, this book is for you. It offers guidance, inspiration and clear steps into turning your passion into a career.
Musicpreneur connects the dots between music and business. With a
healthy dose of creativity, it provides the tools, knowledge, mindset
and approach for you to get heard above the noise and build a successful
career in music.

We have recently placed "I'll Be Damned", by our client Ryan McMahon , over the end credits on an upcoming episode of the hit show Californication. It has been a dream come true for Ryan's as he is a huge fan of the show. We were happy to have helped make it a reality.
It was a real pleasure to place "You Make Me Wanna Fly" by Stef Lang on a recent Delta Airlines Project. We've seen Stef's career build and take her from Ladysmith, BC to New York, NY.
I was recently interviewed on Aaron Davidson of "How To License Your Music" on the topic of traits of successful musicians. Is there a set of traits that can make for success in music? Find out here:
Music, Money And Life Podcast with Aaron Bethune
Above The Noise Music Industry Podcast
I realized that the natural evolution of the interviews I post was to start a podcast, and it is something I have wanted to do for some time! Realizing that the toughest thing in today's music industry (and really this applies outside of the music industry as well) is to be heard "Above The Noise." The purpose of these podcasts is to find out what it takes to permeate to the top. With the physical ability to listen to only 5% (and that's if we spend 24-7 without breaks) of new music released every week (thanks to Jay Frank for this stat) how do you get "Heard Above The Noise.?" These podcasts are with the people behind the music and the people behind the business of this industry.
I will be sharing my conversations with musicians, songwriters, composers, marketing and branding gurus, social media experts, industry leaders, thought provokers and music futurists in an attempt to shed some light on what it takes to be heard "Above The Noise."
In addition I teach a music industry course called "Above The Noise" and I will be sharing the audio from our guest lectures.
For those of you who missed my recent webinar with music supervisor Sarah Gavigan here is a link to the audio . Sarah shares a ton of insight on what makes a song licensable and how to get your music licensed. I have made both the webinar and the Q&A into podcasts. If you are serious about licensing your music I suggest taking a listen!
#2 ATN Interview with music supervisor Sarah Gavigan by Above The Noise
#2.1 ATN Q&A with Music Supervisor Sarah Gavigan by Above The Noise
It is our pleasure to let everybody know that music supervisor Sarah Gavigan and Aaron Bethune will be offering a FREE 'how to' get your music licensed webinar on Monday March 26th at 5pm PST.
We are going to be discussing:
-Revenue for independent musicians today
-The full landscape of music licensing
-Emerging Markets
-How to approach a music supervisor
-The value of music
-What makes a song licensable?
We will be offering a Q&A follow up on Monday April 2nd at 5pm PST.
We know how important music licensing is to an artist's career and so do you! While many of you are already finding placements or have people working on your behalf, we can't recommend more highly Sarah's online music licensing course. Artist or a representative, with prior licensing success or not, everyone can benefit.
Not only does the course give you an insider view of what a music supervisors job consists of and how to cater to their needs more effectively but it offers step by step guidance turning your music into money.
In the coming month we will start a PR campaign for Canadian/Italian Sony recording artist Parisse. We will be developing her fan base in north America with traditional and cyper PR. Most importantly we will be creating a social media marketing plan to give the necessary attention her new album "Vagabond" deserves. Renowned engineer and producer, Stefano Galante (Andrea Boccelli, Wayne Shorter, Fillipa Giordano) is responsible for this neo soul production. For more on Parisse and the new album please click here .
Aaron Bethune is happy to be teaching his music business course titled "Above The Noise" which will soon be available online too!
"In today's music industry, it is no longer a matter of needing a record deal to record, distribute and sell an album, you can do that yourself! Today, it is all about permeating to the top... being heard above the noise!
My course takes an in depth look at how to build value to your brand, where revenue streams can come from in todays industry, the components that make up a solid foundation to a long lasting career, and how you can create your own niche and set your own moulds!
With resources supplied including sample agreements, contracts, PDF's, programs, guest lecturers, a unique website and in class projects you will have all the tools to be heard above the noise!
I love music and I am passionate about every aspect of it, and the industry that goes with it. Like many, I decided that I wanted my life to be about music. I realized that playing music was not going to pay all the bills and that I didn't want to get a job that was unrelated to what I am most passionate about. So I decided that when I wasn't playing music I would be working it's business! Over the years I have learnt many lessons and have made many connections. I have come to realize that in this business you need to not only understand how it works, but most importantly, build relationships and be able to connect the dots." Says Bethune.
Here is a recent interview with Aaron Bethune for Aaron Davidson on the topic of music licensing: An Interview With Aaron Bethune by aarondavison
As the NY Giants just won the Super Bowl we thought we should mention that the music that was featured in the spot, shown at all NY GIANTS and NY JETS games at the MetLife Stadium this season, was one of our placements. The video was played at every game and was also a TV Spot. Here is a link to the New York Giants Spot. Here is a link to the New York Jets Spot. We are currently working on a number of projects and are always looking for great music!
After a successful radio promotion at the end of 2011 we are just about to kick off the new campaign. In late 2011 we tracked the first Christmas singles that The Irish Rovers have released in over 10 years. With a long career, now in it's 47th year, and hits on the charts including a #2 right beside the Beatles, these boys have no intention of stopping! Hits have included "The Unicorn", #1 hit "Wasn't That a Party" as well as the Christmas favorite "Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer".
Recently, The Irish Rovers' recording of Drunken Sailor reached a younger audience, generating over 6 million hits on various YouTube sites. This has lead to the release of DRUNKEN SAILOR, the album.
The album is full of new tales from the sea, arrrrgg, including a tribute to the great ship, TITANIC on it's 100th anniversary.
Their song, Drunken Sailor has gained so much attention, that Las Vegas created a new "Drunken Sailor" slot machine!
"There aren't many groups in Canada that can match the legacy of The Irish Rovers. TV stars, huge concerts draws, and three major memorable hits. Plus, you have the longevity. This is the group's 45th year together. And their popularity continues. They are on a national tour, have a brand new CD, and a TV special filmed in Ireland coming up." - Bob Mersereau, CBC 2011.
For more information on The Irish Rovers please visit their website .
We are working with Eddie Cohn to release his new EP "REMIXED".
On October 11th 2011 Eddie Cohn will be releasing digitally world wide his new Re-Mix EP entitled "Eddie Cohn Remixed."
This will be Eddie's fifth release to date. Although a new twist to previously released tracks and certainly a departure from his previous records, the remixes are so perfectly suited to Eddie's voice and composition, it's a wonder this hasn't happened earlier!
The Verve, Joseph Arthur, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, Ryan Adams, NIN and Elliot Smith have all, among others, played a part in Eddie's musical development. Eddie's style is very much his own, although it would be fair to say that if you are a fan of his influences you will likely be a fan of this EP.
For more info and FREE downloads please click here.
We're happy to announce the long awaited new release from Chasing Satellites. So far Scott Lake (Avril Levine, Metric, The Stills, Bruce Springsteen, Keith Richards, The Jonas Brothers, etc...) has said "the album has great tonalities and great songs..."
Paul Gross of Metalworks studios (Prince, Three Days Grace, Joel Plaskett, Black Eyed Peas, Alexis On Fire, Simple Plan, Sam Roberts, Tokyo Police Club, Feist, etc...) has said "it is one of the best new releases I have heard this year..."
To get some of the tracks for FREE and make your own opinion click here .
Here is Moreza's video EPK that we are very happy to share with you all. Just one of the many things to watch out for!

This is a project we are very excited about and look forward to updating you. For now please take a moment to check out this great ChillOut Artist here!

PlayItLoudMusic's founder Aaron Bethune is happy to announce a collaboration with HitQuarters. Bethune will be interviewing established industry specialists and artists. Much like the PlayItLoudMusic interview series the intent is to help independent artists find ways to create revenue streams from the music business. You can see the first interview posted on the HitQuarters site. Also PlayItLoudmMusic will be looking for up and coming artists/bands to interview. The key factor is that the artists/bands must have accomplished notable recognition independently and are willing to share their story.
1st Annual Tip to Tip Bike Trip
"We are a group of like-minded musicians who are using the skills and abilities we
have as artists, public speakers, film makers and bicyclists to inform and alert the
public to the importance of protecting our natural environments. We are riding
bicycles from the northern to the southern most tips of Vancouver Island and
performing at venues all along the way. We are filming this adventure in high
definition, from start to finish, to be edited after into a short documentary. All
proceeds from the tour will be donated to The Georgia Straight Alliance, The
Western Wilderness Committee, and GreenPeace." Jon Bone.

PlayItLoudMusic's founder Aaron Bethune conducts a series of music industry interviews.
"These interviews are a real source of information and knowledge. Whether you're an artist looking for success or simply interested in how this business works. With the participation of 604 Records owner Jonathan Simkin, Music Supervisor Ron Proulx, Entertainment Life Coach Ryan Stanley, and many more, there is a lot of great insight here. The music business has changed and musicians are now in control of their own career. Knowledge is a powerful tool. With these interviews I am asking very direct questions so as to help people know how to go about submitting their music to film and t.v., publishers, promoters, etc... I have also enjoyed talking to people with great success stories and how they can relate to your own!
The biggest thing for me when I started in this business was finding people willing to open up about the intricacies and details of their jobs, and how they made a successful living at it. Now I have the chance to ask some of the questions I wish I had been able to ask when I first started! Theses days I find that the business is about giving things away for free, whether it be music or resources... I hope you enjoy following this series as much as I have." Aaron Bethune.
To read the interviews so far please visit our blog by clicking on the link at the top of the page.
Naked Jams is a project that we are very proud to be a part of.
"The concept behind the project is to create collaborative, single take performance videos that we shoot on location, away from stages and studios and mixing boards and effects processors. Just raw, usually unplugged, "naked" music. Our focus is to collaborate with local musicians, to help connect them with a wider audience and also to help the audience that's hungry for more independent music find talent they are unfamiliar with. We also want to work with more established artists, to help them show a different side then what the mainstream is used to seeing." Tash Baycroft.
