AIDS Services and Education Grants
This program is supported by state funding and was created though an act of the Virginia General Assembly in 1989. These grants are intended to support outreach, innovative prevention interventions for hard to reach populations and supportive services for persons living with HIV. Currently these projects are targeting injection drug users.
African-American Faith Initiative
Created in 1999, the project grew out of a public call for faith-based HIV programs in minority communities and a series of research and survey projects conducted the Virginia Commonwealth University Community Health Research Initiative on behalf of the Division and the Virginia HIV Community Planning Committee. Through a community-mobilization approach, religious institutions may use funds for clergy training and congregation education around HIV as well as mentoring of other churches in the development of HIV prevention and support programs.
Community HIV Testing Services
This grant program was established in 2001 to provide HIV antibody testing in outreach and non-invasive settings through community-based organizations. In 2006 this program was expanded to include rapid HIV testing in appropriate venues. The focus is on reaching men who have sex with men, injection drug users, the sexual partners of these populations, high risk heterosexuals and incarcerated persons.
Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Resources and Linkages for Inmates (CHARLI)
CHARLI, first funded in 2009, is a collaboration between HIV Prevention and HIV Care Services. The purpose of the program is to provide a continuum of HIV services to inmates with 60 days or less to serve in state prisons, local and regional jails. Services include pre-release HIV prevention education, rapid HIV testing, discharge planning and case management for HIV-infected persons, and post-release case management and primary prevention for HIV-infected persons. Additional services may include client support, follow-up on those lost to care and medication adherence counseling.
This grant program was established in 2007 to support the CDC recommendation to increase routine testing in clinical settings, with a focus on reaching individuals disproportionately affected by HIV, specifically African-Americans, Latinos, men who have sex with men, and injecting drug users. This program supports testing in clinical settings such as Community Health Centers, hospital emergency departments, correctional facilities, Community Service Boards, free clinics, student health centers, infectious disease clinics, and local health departments. The program also supports integration of services, providing funds for hepatitis and STD testing in addition to HIV testing, and limited testing in non-healthcare settings.
HIV Prevention Among Communities of Color
First funded in 1988 as the Minority AIDS Projects, this program was reconfigured in 2012 to better reflect the new National HIV/AIDS Strategy for the United States (2010). Funds are provided for HIV prevention interventions among communities of color at increased risk for HIV infection. Projects are funded in six service areas with the highest HIV/AIDS morbidity among Black and Latino communities. At least 30% of total grant award is for HIV prevention with Black and Latino men who have sex with men. Areas served are: 1) Fairfax, Alexandria, Arlington, Prince William; 2) Hampton, Peninsula (Newport News); 3) City of Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield; 4) Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth, Chesapeake, Western Tidewater (Suffolk); 5) Crater (Petersburg, Emporia, Hopewell); and 6) City of Roanoke.
Men who have Sex with Men HIV Prevention Program
Established in 1998, this grant program was created to address a significant disparity between the impact of the epidemic on gay and bisexual men and the amount of funding being targeted to this community. The program has been expanded twice since 1998 with supplemental funds. Populations targeted include racial/ethnic minorities, young men and men on the down low.
Primary Prevention With People Living with HIV
This program, established in 2002, supports primary HIV prevention (prevention of new HIV infections) by working with HIV infected individuals. Comprehensive Risk Counseling and Services (CRCS) is provided to individuals identified as engaging in high-risk behaviors that may transmit HIV, or those with mental health, substance abuse or medication adherence difficulties. Additional strategies include group level interventions and individual counseling.
The Secretary's Minority AIDS Initiative Fund for Care and Prevention in the United States (CAPUS)
The CAPUS Program was funded in 2012 through a three-year CDC demonstration project to decrease HIV-related health disparities among African-Americans and Hispanics. Activities to be pursued under CAPUS include: offering testing in geographic areas selected with respect to demographic factors linked to increased risk of HIV infection; expanding patient navigation services to HIV-infected individuals who are newly-diagnosed, at risk of being lost to HIV medical care, or those who are already lost; integrating data systems to help HIV medical providers identify and engage HIV-infected patients who are at risk of being lost to care, or who are currently lost; addressing social and structural barriers to HIV testing and medical care through social marketing and public information campaigns, and through a temporary housing pilot for previously-incarcerated individuals at imminent risk of homelessness.
For information on competing for these grant programs please see Funding Opportunities
The HIV Prevention Unit offers a range of services and workshops to enhance community-based organization infrastructure and delivery of evidence-based HIV prevention interventions.
Trainings topics may include the following areas:
*For a full list of high impact interventions and public health strategies, see https://effectiveinterventions.cdc.gov/.
Community-based organizations funded by VDH to provide HIV prevention interventions may also access capacity building and technical assistance from a national network of providers through CDC's Capacity Building Assistance Program (CBA). To request CBA, contact your VDH contract monitor.
These guidelines contain a broad array of information needed by contractors, including, but not limited to, staff contact information, the quarterly report format, information on data collection for evaluation and monitoring, DEBIs and intervention standards, CDC requirements for materials approval, a sample budget format, and a variety of forms. Please see the table of contents for additional information.
Here are some of our more commonly requested forms for contractors:
- Budget Reallocation Request in Microsoft Excel format
- DDP Request for Payment Format
This Quality Assurance (QA)manual is the benchmark by which all Division of Disease Prevention-funded HIV testing programs are evaluated and is used in conjunction with the Virginia Facts and Fundamentals training required of all testing staff. All testing staff are required to familiarize themselves with this manual. In addition, the "Personnel Responsibilities" section must be completed by each agency and must be kept on file along with all other required documentation as set forth in the manual. The "Personnel Responsibilities" section, which addresses the agency protocols necessary to ensure a successful testing program, will be reviewed at each site visit. Agencies are expected to keep this document current. We hope this manual will provide you with a strong foundation on which to monitor the quality of your testing program and procedures.
Attachments for the Rapid HIV Testing QA Manual:
- Attachments 3A - 3B (Word document)
- Attachment 4A (Word docment, fillable form)
- Attachment 4B (Excel document, fillable form)
- Attachment 4C (Word document, fillable form)
- Attachments 10 - 17 (Word document)
Couples HIV Testing and Counseling (CHTC) services may be offered by agencies that currently offer individual HIV testing services. This enables agencies to leverage resources that are already devoted to individual HIV testing and use the resources for CHTC. CHTC is most appropriate in agencies that currently see a steady flow of individuals for HIV testing. Having a steady client flow increases the likelihood that couples will seek CHTC services.
All CHTC providers must complete the Centers for Disease Control training course Couples HIV Testing and Counseling in the U.S. – Training for Providers. CHTC can only be offered by counselors with a minimum of one year's experience in providing HIV testing and counseling, and all agencies providing CHTC must schedule evaluation of CHTC counselors with their VDH contract monitor. Evaluation of counselors will occur within 60 days of their first CHTC counseling session or after ten sessions, whichever occurs first.
Consent Forms for Couples Counseling:
Have You Ordered Your Free Condoms?
As part of its efforts to reduce HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STI), the Division of Disease Prevention is committed to making free condoms accessible and available across Virginia, particularly in communities at increased risk of HIV/STIs.
DDP has over 100 condom distribution partners, and would welcome more. Both health districts and community partners are eligible for the VDH Condom Distribution Program. Organizations may order up to 25,000 condoms for each quarter (100,000 a year) and those with multiple sites may be approved to order more. Smaller quantities of female condoms and non-latex condoms are also available. If you would like to participate, please contact Beth Marschak at firstname.lastname@example.com or (804) 864-8008 or access the Participant Agreement Form here for health districts or here for community partners.

After weeks of speculation, news finally emerged yesterday that Arsenal had confirmed the outright sale of Carlos Vela to Real Sociedad. The 25 year old Mexican forward has signed a four year contract with the La Liga outfit after a fee of £8.8 million was enough to convince the Gunners to renounce their modest buyback clause.
Having netted 47 times in 126 matches for Sociedad, there was a clamour amongst some sections of the Arsenal support for Arsene Wenger to bring Vela back to the Emirates Stadium. However, the forward himself has admitted in recent times that his game is not suited to the pace and physicality of the Premier League.
With the World Cup still rumbling on, Wenger will likely have to wait and operate in an inflated market to land an alternative wide forward. But the tournament is currently providing an excellent showcase for attacking talent and the stunning capture of Mesut Ozil last summer proves that the Frenchman is now willing to splash the cash on the right player.
Bearing this all in mind, here are SIX World Cup alternatives to Vela at Arsenal this summer.

Countdown is a 1968 science fiction film directed by Robert Altman, based on the novel The Pilgrim Project by Hank Searls. It stars James Caan and Robert Duvall as astronauts vying to be the first American to walk on the Moon as part of a crash program to beat the Soviet Union.
In the late 1960s, astronauts training in an Apollo simulator have their session ended early. They grumble about it, but their commander, Chiz (Robert Duvall), knows the reason for the abort: the Pilgrim Program. The Russians will be sending a moon landing mission up in four weeks. The Americans had a secret alternate plan to the Apollo program (Pilgrim) in case this happened. One man would be sent to the moon in a one-way rocket, a modified Project Gemini craft. He would stay on the moon for a few months in a shelter pod launched and landed before him. Later, a manned Apollo mission would come to retrieve him.
The equipment is ready, but the Russians complicate matters by sending up a civilian. Chiz, although trained and qualified, is an Air Force colonel. NASA and the White House insist that an American civilian be their first man on the moon. Lee (James Caan), one of Chiz's crew, is tapped. Chiz is outraged, but agrees to train Lee in the few days they have. Chiz pushes Lee's training hard, half to get him ready, half hoping he will drop out and Chiz can step in. Lee persists, driven by the same astronaut dream.
After a press leak about Pilgrim, the Russians launch a week early. Deflated at not being first, everyone carries on. The shelter pod (a LEM lander) is launched and landed successfully. Lee is launched on schedule. He encounters a power drain malfunction en route which tests his character and hinders radio contact. The Russians have also lost contact with their team. As Lee orbits the moon, he does not see the beacon of the shelter. With only seconds left before he must abort and return to Earth, he lies about seeing it. Mission Control okays his retro burn and he lands. Now all radio contact is lost. Lee gets out of the Gemini lander and walks around with three hours of oxygen in his suit. He finds the crashed Russian lander on its side, the three dead cosmonauts sprawled around it.
Everyone on Earth is nervously awaiting news, but none comes. Lee takes the Soviet flag from a dead cosmonaut and lays out the Soviet flag on a nearby rock with his own American flag. With little air left and nowhere to go, Lee spins the toy mouse his son gave him. It points right, so he walks in that direction. People on Earth are losing hope as his time has run out. Lee looks at his watch to see that he has just minutes of air left. A red glow on his arm catches his attention. It is the locator beacon atop the shelter. Lee is last seen walking towards the shelter.

Countdown benefited from the cooperation of NASA, lending facilities to enhance the production.[1]
In a May 1968 review for The New York Times, critic Howard Thompson calls the film a "limp space-flight drama" which "makes the moon seem just as dull as Mother Earth".[2] A February 1985 review in Malaysia's New Straits Times calls Countdown "dated" and complains that the characters have "no depth or direction".[3] In a June 1995 story on the history of spaceflight movies, Thomas Mallon appreciates that the film "highlights the space program's early can-do ethos" but calls it a "little movie" with "few touches of Mr. Altman's later cynical wit" and "somehow not terribly suspenseful".[4]

A comic book adaptation of the film was published by Dell Comics in October 1967.

UPDATE: Reward offered in doughnut shop shooting that killed one, injured another
A $10,000 reward is being offered for information in Wednesday's double shooting that killed an employee at a Duncanville doughnut shop.
Schepps Dairy announced the reward today for tips leading to the arrest and indictment of the gunman who killed 38-year-old Carlos Martinez of Seagoville.
Original entry (posted at 6:22 a.m.):
Duncanville police said on Thursday that they were continuing to investigate the double shooting that left one man dead during an apparent robbery at a doughnut shop this week.
Employee Carlos Martinez, 38, was killed in the early morning robbery at the shop in the 100 block of North Cedar Ridge Drive near West Wheatland Road on Wednesday. Another man was taken to Methodist Dallas Medical Center in stable condition. Duncanville police still had not released his name Thursday.
Police believe the robber demanded money from the victims, though officials refused to say whether the man got away with any cash. At this time, investigators believe only one man was involved in the crime. A detailed description of that suspect is not available.
This is the second homicide in Duncanville this year. In 2009, the city reported four homicides.
Anyone with information can call Detective Ralph Woods at 972-780-5037, ext. 2.

My family and I appreciate all the support and prayer on the death of my youngest son. He loved life, had a smile for everyone and was very family oriented. As we grieve, we remember him in this way and must smile just a little.
We are getting by one step, one day at a time...that's the best we can do so far. I am back to work this week and will be with you all at the next race weekend, as many of you have become like family to me.
Again thank you for the notes and the expressions of sympathy in this tragic time in our lives

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
"For real!" is a clever name for the painting show at Waltman Ortega. The three Europeans depict almost-hyper real portraits of American cities — mostly New York City. Except that there is a slightly non-American perspective to them. It's a nice show to open up the season.
The most "real" come from Frenchman Alain Bertrand, whose oils have a poster-like quality; hectic scenes of an idealized Manhattan, with its shiny cars and neon signs, armies of yellow taxis. In fact they are a romanticized version of what the artist imagined New York looked like in the 1940s and '50s: the "new" 1950 Mercury automobile; an RKO theater with a Jimmy Cagney movie on the marquee; Pepsi Cola!
The works of Spaniard Fernando Kindelan are quieter, lonelier streets filled with filtered light, puddles on the sidewalk, reflections. In one lovely piece, the suns peaks through the urban high-rises, to spotlight a singular jogger, called "Run."
But the most gorgeous canvases are the more abstract ones from Belgian Ronald Dupont. The large works are views through the rain of street life — barely perceptible, but still there are the pedestrians winding their way through a wet world, while the windows through which the artist paints the scene are streaming with water, dotted with rain drops. Dupont too has a large canvas of a less blurred Manhattan, teaming with people and vehicles, but not quite as clear as Bertrand's work — something is slightly off, the view a little fuzzy.
All the artists have shown internationally, and it's good to find them here in Miami, a bit of a break from the more conceptual contemporary works that are more of the norm.
"For real!" runs through Oct. 15 at Waltman Ortega art gallery, 2233 N.W. 2nd. Ave., Miami; www.waltmanortega.com.

Doesn't catch too many wasps
By dave doofus
from Texas
Don't bother with these things if you want to catch wasps or hornets- only the stupidest of them will fall for it. However, these things catch tons of flies and gnats. Hang them near some flowering plants and use apple juice instead of beer. One thing that's good too is that the stinkier the bottles get the more flies come around.
did not work as listed

Hasn't caught a thing
By Wasphater
from Ogden, UT
Theoretically, this should work, but it doesn't. I followed directions and used the baits that were suggested (beer in one, apple juice and cat food in the other). After 10 days not 1 wasp has been trapped.

what are the side effects of high blood pressureREAD MORE
what is subclavian steel syndrome
Hello Vivian Herman,
Subclavian steal syndrome involves how blood flow from the heart to the brain and arms and can cause among other things, seizures, fainting spells and recurrent dizziness. You may also notice recurrent numbness, coldness, or tingling in one of your arms.
In SSS, which is rare, occurs when the artery to the arm is blocked by vascular disease. Blood subsequently flows from one of the arteries that supplies the brain to the affected arm. This causes decreased blood flow to the brain, resulting from the symptoms listed above.
Risk factors for the disease include, among others, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and some types of coronary artery bypass grafting surgeries (cabg). Treatment of the syndrome generally requires a vascular surgery procedure to restore proper blood flow to the arm
To your health,
Neil MD
I've been diagnosed with this disease not long ago, I've been having severe headaches to the point of passing out on the bed & cry cause it is causing tremendous pain for me. I wish somehow the doctor would just go ahead do the procedure on me soon. He wants me go through some more tests before he can make dermination to do it. I wish there was a doctor that would do it & would take medicaid. There's none around here that would take me cause of I have meicaid. I want to live a long time on this earth, so I can see my grandchild grow up & I pass the GED test before I die.READ MORE

Lionel Messi struck a trademark wonder goal as Argentina edged to a 2-1 win over a plucky Bosnia in their Group F opener at the Maracana.
The mercurial Barcelona forward put what appeared to be a laboured performance behind him to slalom past a number of challenges and place a brilliant finish into the corner on 65 minutes.
It brought a disappointing game to life after La Albiceleste had gone ahead courtesy of an unfortunate own goal from Sead Kolasinac on three minutes.
Bosnia were hoping to make a good impression on their finals debut and edged the first half with Izet Hajrovic going close and Senad Lulic forcing a stunning save out of Sergio Romero with a bullet header from a right-wing corner.
However, they struggled to cope with Argentina following Messi's effort and Sergio Aguero fizzed just wide of the upright before substitute Vedad Ibisevic made it interesting with six minutes to go when he squeezed a shot under Romero - a historical goal for Bosnia as it was their first at a major tournament.
PRE-MATCH: No Higuain, but Messi and Aguero lead the line. In the absence of Gonzalo Higuain, Argentina deploy a 5-3-2 formation with Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero forging the attack. Bosnia have erred on the side of caution with Edin Dzeko featuring as a lone front man in a 4-2-3-1 system.
3' - GOAL! Argentina 1-0 Bosnia Herzegovina. So unlucky! Messi's free kick from the left is flicked on by Marcos Rojo and deflects in off an unwitting Sead Kolasinac.
13' - BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA CHANCE! Izet Hajrovic beats the offside trap to control a clipped pass into the area but can't apply the finish. Good save by the keeper.
40' - BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA CHANCE! Great save! A corner from the right is met by a bullet header by Lulic who can only watch on in dismay as Romero dives to his left to tip it around the post.
65' - GOAL! Argentina 2-0 Bosnia Herzegovina. It's trademark Messi as he turns in the midfield and exchanges a one-two with Higuain before side-stepping another challenge and placing a superb effort into the corner via the post.
84' - GOAL! Argentina 2-1 Bosnia Herzegovina. Bosnia are back in it! Ibisevic races onto an exquisite through ball and just about squeezes it under Romero. Can they pull off the comeback?
90' - ARGENTINA CHANCE. Messi breaks on the right of the area but can only flash his shot high into the near-post side netting. That would have sealed it.
TALKING POINT: Will that goal ignite Messi's tournament? The Barcelona forward had a poor season by his own incredible standards and many felt he could have been saving himself for this World Cup on South American soil. The diminutive attacker was struggling to produce his best for the majority of the game, but came good with that sensational solo goal and can also claim an assist for his troubles. It's early days, but it's a good start and should breathe confidence into future displays.
There have already been three own goals in the 2014 World Cup, one more than there was in the entire 2010 tournament.
Sead Kolasinac's own goal was the fastest goal scored in this World Cup, after just 2 minutes and 10 seconds.
Bosnia-Herzegovina are the second debutant whose first goal conceded at a WC was an own goal, after Australia in 1974.
Vedad Ibisevic scored Bosnia's first ever goal at a World Cup finals.
Lionel Messi had played 623 minutes of World Cup football since notching his only other WC goal against Serbia in 2006.
Messi becomes the second Argentine to score successive WC goals eight years apart following Diego Maradona (1986 and 1994).
The Barcelona forward scored with his first shot on target at this year's World Cup.
Only Javier Mascherano (102) attempted more passes than Lionel Messi in the match.
(Stats courtesy of Opta)
Lionel Messi (Argentina): It wasn't exactly vintage Argentina but they did the job and it was largely down to the number 10. A wonderful individual goal and a hand in the opener were key moments in a game that never truly hit the heights of the tournament's previous matches.
ARGENTINA: Romero 7, Garay 6, Campagnaro 6, Zabaleta 6, Mascherano 7, Rojo 7, F. Fernandez 6, Rodriguez 6, Di Maria 7, Messi 8, Aguero 7. Subs: Biglia n/a, Gago 6, Higuain 7.
BOSNIA-HERZEGOVINA: Begovic 6, Bicakcic 6, Spahic 6, Kolasinac 5, Besic 6, Pjanic 6, Misimovic 7, Mujdza 6, Lulic 7, Hajrovic 6, Dzeko 6. Subs: Medjunjanin 6, Visca 6, Ibisevic 7.

Just before the holidays arrived Exploding In Sound was thrilled to be able to speak with Matt Drenik, singer/guitarist for Austin, TX's LIONS, as well as his recently launched solo project, Battleme. We talked at great length about LIONS recent UK tour, their new EP Let No One Fall, FX's Sons of Anarchy, and whats to come from Battleme. Matt is truly an awesome guy, and his music is equally great whether its fuzz heavy riff rock with LIONS or acoustic folk inspired tunes from Battleme...
EIS: You just completed the first UK tour with LIONS. How did you end up heading out with Monster Magnet and Karma to Burn?
MD: Sometime in 2008 we were being courted by Columbia Records, an A&R rep had approached us and we were talking about doing a possible thing with them. He had called Peter Nash who owns Helter Skelter, one of the biggest agencies in all of Europe/UK. Peter had taken a quick liking to the band, and reached out about signing us to his roster. When the Columbia deal didn't go through, for whatever reason, we didn't lose the agency deal over there, so we got hooked up with them. It was then a slow process of when to bring us over there, with all different kinds of possibilities. They were looking for a pretty big tour to get us good exposure right off the bat, so there were talks about bringing us over there with The Bronx or the Blind Melon reunion tour, up until 2009. Sometime this summer they called and said Monster Magnet were doing a reunion tour and had offered us a support slot on it, so we though that'd be fantastic.
EIS: That's a good pairing. Do Monster Magnet still pull a good draw in the UK?
MD: Yeah, every show was practically sold out. They were big rooms, anywhere between 750 and 2,000 capacity rooms. Some places were bigger than others. The Magnet guys seem to do really well in Europe, and who knows, they'd probably do really well in the States, they haven't toured over here in years.
EIS: Did you find the UK audiences to be more or less receptive to LIONS than American shows?
MD: Pretty much the same. That was one of the things that was pretty hilarious, people would say, "Oh, you're going to Europe" but really we're going to the UK, which seems a lot more like America than the other parts. London was like New York City, other towns were like Boston, and New England in general. The weather was the same, it was cold and overcast during the winter. Some people would tell us when we go over there it will be insane, they're gonna go crazy.
EIS: Yeah, that's always the impression you get from living in the States.
MD: Yeah, and I found that to be totally wrong. When Monster Magnet would play it would be packed, but it wasn't insane. There weren't giant mosh pits or people crowd surfing, it was just like an enthusiastic group of people there to see a rock and roll show. It was especially hard for us as the opening band, because no one really knows who we are over there. We had gotten some great press and great exposure, at that point radio was really happening for us and starting to spin. Bruce Dickinson was spinning one of our songs on his show, and the BBC stations had started to pick it up.
EIS: Is "Gimme Riot" the lead single overseas?
MD: That was the one they went with, I know that a big BBC show started spinning "In Your Head," but then again it was tough because the Rock Sound [magazine] spread had happened, we knew that Metal Hammer was coming out, and they were doing a big feature on us in Classic Rock Magazine, all these pretty dominating European magazines, and we weren't really sure what to expect. What we found out without looking at expectations was we were the opening band, and were going to have to fight for it every night. We've done that for years, so why should it be any different? You've got to prove your worth, and some shows are better than others.
EIS: I saw you guys live in New York a couple times, opening for the Toadies then again for Local H, and had never seen the band in concert before, and was blown away by the performance. The band definitely proved their worth those nights...
MD: Cool, those were good shows. That Local H show in Brooklyn was actually when we met the Columbia Records guys. We've been through the loop with labels and at one point Roadrunner Records helped fund our entire No Generation sessions, in the idea that they were going to pick it up. We've had some great successes in licensing and we have lots of friends in the industry that don't involve record labels, from blogs to radio programmers. It seems as though the band has to be a slam dunk and it needs to break [to sign with a major label], or it will break their [A&Rs] job. We've always had the live shows in our pocket, but "do these guys have a hit song?" I don't even know what that really means, but probably not if we're talking what active rock radio plays.
EIS: You mentioned your music being licensed, particularly for the hit FX TV show Sons of Anarchy. How did that come about?
MD: During SXSW some executives from Fox came out to a day show. They showed up to a small venue we were playing at that was real chaotic in a small bar that had about 200 people in it. We played on the floor, which we do sometimes with the audience crowding around us. Our manager who we ended up signing with after that festival had come with Ward Hake, the music supervisor at 20th Century Fox. He thought we'd be great for a pilot show coming out on FX about these outlaw bikers. A couple of months went by, and after we had signed with Uppercut Management, they called right before we left for the Toadies No Deliverance reunion tour. The show was looking for a theme song and wanted us to take a crack at it, so they sent over the pilot episode and we watched it and I wrote for it a pretty heavy riff rock kind of tune. There was another song in the running, and after some back and forth they went with the other song. Which is fine, I didn't really envision our band writing the theme song to a TV show anyway. We ended up cutting that song with Matt Hyde, who did all of the Monster Magnet stuff last year. The show was coming out and Bob Thiele, the producer, was a huge fan of the band and just kept plugging our songs into the show and all of a sudden we were getting a lot of licensing out of those guys.
EIS: They really capture the LIONS songs great, and not as background music, but complete action and dramatic scenes really featuring the music.
MD: Yeah man, they love it. They've been super big supporters. I thought when you were in a band, you went out and played live then you signed a big or small record deal and that was that. That's how you made money, you sold records or you played live. I didn't realize the other avenues you could go to, and we've been fortunate enough to go our own route and make a good amount of money without having to sign some deal. Fox has been cool, when we went out to Los Angeles to play a date at The Roxy, we went to Fox and got the whole grand tour of the studio. They wanted to invest in the band and were talking about making a video for "Girl From The North Country," which they knew would be super effective in the show. They signed us on to the [Sons of Anarchy: North Country] EP at that point on iTunes, and it's been real cool for us.
EIS: Speaking about the "Girl From the North Country" cover, was that something you were already working on?
MD: No, they sent us an e-mail saying they were looking for a cover version of this Bob Dylan song "Girl From the North Country" and it has to be in B flat. Immediately my gut reaction was, yeah we'll do it.
EIS: It came out really great.
MD: Well that's the weird thing, after we said we'd do it, they said they needed the track in a week and a half, so there wasn't a lot of time to over think it. We booked time at our regular studio and started rehearsing it, and I still wasn't sure how I was gonna sing it. We just started jamming and came up with the way we do it the recording as being the best way to represent the song. It stuck so we went into the studio and recorded it, then listened back and were fairly excited about the way it sounded.
EIS: Definitely. Have you gotten a chance to play it live at all?
MD: We played it live a couple times in October at some one-off dates, and it was pretty funny. We had a real solid big packed show in Austin at The Mohawk, and we ended up playing it towards the end of the set and I remember when I went into it all the girls started yelling [laughs]. They all knew what it was, which is funny because it's a total departure from what our band is. It's just music really, I don't know how to explain how it fits into the set but people seem to react to it just fine, and it's just one of those things. I never thought we'd be doing a Bob Dylan song and it could be potentially an instrumental song in our set, but it totally is and people really like it.
It was totally unexpected, when we listened to it after recording I never thought about playing this live. When the EP came out and it started charting on iTunes and the sales were getting up into the tens of thousands of that song, we go "ok… people are seriously reacting to this, we gotta play it live," and it's totally worked, the reaction has been great.
EIS: Talking about new songs, let's discuss the brand new EP Let No One Fall. Has there been a general reaction to that, or is it still too new?
MD: The thing is, it hasn't come out anywhere except for the UK. The general reaction from over there has been really good, no one has said anything bad about it... I try to stay away from reviews in general because if you believe all the good stuff then you got to believe all the bad stuff. You can't please everyone, but the general reaction to the EP thus far from the reviews in Rock Sound have been pretty good. The single has been added to a bunch of things, whether it's BMX Biker video, radio play, and the UK has been reacting well because we've gotten a lot of press requests for it. The EP comes out and all of a sudden they want to do pieces on "breaking band" stuff, so it's been a pretty solid reaction thus far.
EIS: Do you have plans to release a physical version of it here in the US?
MD: Well it came out in the UK, and there's been spate in the camp about should we release an EP, if we should release it ourselves, if we should look for a label to put it out, continue writing and finish a full length, or we should just write a new full length in general? Right now we're looking at different deals for the band in the States before we put anything else out.
EIS: Are these the songs you were working on in Los Angeles with Matt Hyde?
MD: No, we went out to LA and cut a song with Matt Hyde and really liked working with him. Then we came home and started talking about doing a new record with him in the winter of 2008. We were assigned to write the record and demos and send them off. It was a confusing point for the band at that time because we weren't sure what kind of record we were going to make, we weren't sure if we wanted to be continually niched as riff heavy… we just wanted to write the record we wanted to write. We started writing all different kinds of songs and started sending them off to Matt and John Agnello, who did the Sonic Youth records, was hearing them to. We got our hopes up that we'd do some portion of the record with him because he really liked the band. John was more into the psychedelic area of the band, songs like "White Angel" and stuff like that, while Matt was more into the driving hard roc stuff from the band. We did about twenty songs and sent them out in February and the reaction was that it wasn't what either of them wanted [laughs]. Matt thought we were taking chances for songs, and that threw us off a bit. John had more of a positive reaction toward the songs, but Steve our manager was really pushing us to go with Hyde. We said "alright, let's scrap those songs and write a whole new record" and that's when we started writing the Let No One Fall songs which were more heavier based.
EIS: Heavier, yet more melodic than what LIONS has recorded in the past.
MD: Well the new bass player that had joined our band Mike, is a strong melody writer and even worked with me a lot on crafting the melodies. We can sing and play heavy, but we can also write some really cool shit, a rock band with pop sensibilities. At that point Matt Hyde had kind of fallen out of the picture as he started working with other bands he had obligations too. Our manager called Frenchie Smith who really wanted to work with us, and we got right into the studio with him. Pre-production for the record began in May and we started a full length in June. We picked six songs out of twelve from those sessions to record with Smith. When the sessions were over we had six songs in the can and have another six ready to go. At that point Maybe Records in the UK were ready for the EP, so we used the tracks recorded with Smith that summer.
EIS: So what's the next step for LIONS? What does 2010 hold for the band?
MD: As of right now we're taking a break from the live performances for the next six months. We're doing a SXSW showcase, but basically we're going to hole up and write songs and not have live shows be on our back. What happens sometimes is you write and then you have a string of dates coming up and you have to stop writing to get back into rehearsal mode. We have an amazing studio space we just got in North Austin, it's big and we're just gonna start holing up in there trying to figure out what we're gonna do. There are a lot of options, all good stuff, talks with different labels, and I think it depends who we sign with in the US that dictates what kind of record comes out. They might put out Let No One Fall real quick in the States or they might bypass it.
EIS: The songs on Let No One Fall are similar in style, yet so different. Tracks like "Poster Child" and "Screaming Out" are both very much LIONS, but fairly different from each other.
MD: Yeah, we wrote with other people on that EP. That was something that we fell into with a lot of this recording process and I went with it. Are manager works for song writers too and he wanted to know if there was anyone we'd like to write with, and at first it really turned me off like "f*ck no, we don't write with people." Then I thought "well, we'd write with Scott Lucas from Local H, so I called him up and he said he'd love to write with us. Scott flew down and he wrote "Screaming Out" with us, he kinda joined the band for three days. He got into the rehearsal space, we got some beer, gave him a guitar and started jamming, riffing all over the place. Scott wrote a song for us called "Let No One Fall" and we actually didn't use it but called the EP that. Scott's probably going to do that song on the next Local H record.
"Poster Child" came up because Vaden from the Toadies wanted to write a song with us at that point. We said "Yeah! We'll write a song with you," so he sent us the demo for the song and we went ahead and reworked the whole thing, changed the verse up and added lyrical content to the verses he had, but he had this great chorus which you hear on the record.
EIS: As far as collaborators go, you can't go wrong with those two guys.
MD: Right, it was cool. We got to jam with some guys that we really respect musically and that had a big influence on us growing up. In February they're trying to get me to go out and go to New York City and have me write a couple of tunes with Ginger from The Wildhearts. I'm totally into that stuff, and I think its cool jamming with other people who always give you a fresh perspective. It seems to make management happy [laughs], they just want you to explore other avenues. I think they just like the idea of bands getting out of their comfort zone, and trying different kinds of ideas through a different set of eyes.
EIS: Speaking of a different set of ideas, let's talk about Battleme! It sounds great, totally unexpected, yet the songs speak for themselves.
MD: Yeah, people are so surprised. It's so funny to me; I feel like its every musicians duty to write different kinds of songs. There's no way whatever kind of music you play, you didn't listen to The Band or The [Rolling] Stones growing up; these are all pretty common denominator things. For some reason, whenever somebody in a hard rock band that's plays aggressive riff rock does anything that's a one eighty everyone's like, "whoa, that's fucking crazy" [laughs].
I remember when I was a kid my mom bought me my first acoustic guitar when I was 17, and it was a big deal. My brother took me into my room where I had some vinyl and asked what song I wanted to learn. He pulled out Pink Floyd's Animals and put on "Pigs On The Wing". He taught me how to play it with C-G-A which was really easy and cool because when you're a kid and you're learning how to play that there's no other feeling better than playing your first song. You play with the record and you feel like you're in Pink Floyd, like "wow, I could do this! This is easy." [laughs] I became obsessed at that point with the acoustic guitar and remember in college I used to sit in my closet because I had a roommate. I'd sit with my guitar and write songs while I could only play a limited amount of chords so the song were all C-G-F and I didn't know what I was doing, but I always had that kind of obsession. That's when the whole idea of playing softer music came into play, and I remember when I was living in Boston, the girl I was dating said there was a great songwriter called Elliott Smith, we should go see him at Newbury Comics [laughs]. He had a following at that point, but it was very cult and I remember seeing him and being really affected by it, thinking it was a very pure form of art. It was such an honest expression, it was cool, and he wasn't hiding behind anything. He was talking about drugs and junkies, and all the things I was experiencing at the time. I really connected to it to the point where I always wanted to do similar stuff, so the songs came about just like that while I'd sit at home and write.
EIS: Are the Battleme songs you've released so far written from back then?
MD: No, I always just sat around and wrote songs, and there were people in Austin that knew I could write like this. It's few, but the ones who did have always been really into it. There would be parties where I'd be drunk and all of a sudden someone hands me a guitar and I start playing this soft song and all these people just start staring at me like "Whoa, what's going on?" That happened a couple times over the past several years. Ward from FOX had come up to me right after "The Girl From The North Country" has just premiered on the show, and he took me out for the night because the other guys were busy with something else. We ended up getting pretty drunk at this bar, and I told him I'd write him a country song for the show [laughs]. He called me a week later asking for the song, and I was like "oh right, that song..." so I sat down real quick and scribbled out "Burn This Town". I said I'd get it to him in three days, got a session at night in our regular studio, and just had them set up two microphones and have me sing. We did it, sent it off, and they bought it! [laughs] That's how it all started really, then I sat at home and started writing more songs, and those are the ones up on the website.
EIS: Do you have plans to release a Battleme album?
MD: Yeah! Totally, I'm just not sure exactly where it will fall in, it's been weird because the reaction has been so good to it. People have picked up on it and all of a sudden The Austin Chronicle wrote a little piece on it, then The Austinist wrote a piece, and the Myspace is filling up with different e-mails about how much the songs mean to people and how effective they are. I didn't know what to expect out of it, I was just goofing off and writing some songs. You never really know how people are going to react to them, but they've been doing well and I plan on doing a full record probably starting with new songs I've written. Now that I have a focus on it, it's cool because I'm actually writing some softer songs that can possibly go on a record that I think people can dig. It's a whole different crowd than what likes LIONS.
EIS: There's probably a good degree of crossover as well.
MD: I think so too, I think it's something everyone can kinda get into. There's definitely a market for "soul ending" songs, but nobody knows how people are going to react to them. There are people like Bon Iver and Blitzen Trapper, who I always keep tabs on. I think it's important for anyone who plays music to understand what's going on around them. Now more than anytime before it's OK for people to explore options like this, the social culture is into it. I remember going to see the Murder City Devils and the drummer [Coady Willis] is the same guy who plays with Big Business and The Melvins, and the guitarist has a side project that's a totally weird two piece on Sub Pop. I think the idea of superstar rock bands that don't do anything but their band is passé at this point. It's cool if people explore other options, especially if you're good at it. That's what's giving me confidence is that the reaction has been awesome, which is cool because that's always what I liked to do anyway. I think every musician has a certain striking point within them of things they love to do. I've always been really drawn to acoustic guitar and older country.
EIS: Do you plan on playing any Battleme shows?
MD: [laughs] I don't know man, that's a good question! I remember thinking about that, but I don't know if that's the big deal right know. I'd like to put a full band together for it. I would like a lot of the harmonies to be there in certain songs, I'd like the shakers to be in there especially if you played it live. I wouldn't be surprised if I put out a record, it all depends… you never know.
EIS: Perhaps a little something at SXSW…
MD: [laughs] That'd be funny, it's all so new to me… the idea of doing a side project. The LIONS management really likes it and have been nothing but supportive of it, and I know there are going to be other opportunities for that project to live a good healthy life. I am taking it fairly seriously, I do have some downtime and I don't have a lot of other things I do than play music. There's a lot of time to develop a project like this, especially slower, more soul based music. I remember the first Iron & Wine record I had that was done on a 4-track and I think with music like this you can do things like that, you don't have to go and spend 10 grand on a record. You can cut this in your bedroom, that's sort of the point of it.
EIS: Yeah, the lo-fi adds to the whole ambiance of it.
MD: Exactly, people like that aspect of it, rather than a big production. It doesn't have to be like that, it just has to be spiritual in a way and speak to people however it does. I really think that's what I like the most out of it. I always enjoyed the back work of Elliott Smith, because I always liked the band Heatmiser that he was in before he did his solo stuff. They were a hard rock band, and I always thought it was cool that he broke off, did these smaller songs and they were obviously effective to people, influencing bands out there today. The possibilities are endless and I enjoy having the platform to do it right now, because a lot of people can write songs like that but might not get the exposure they need to get them heard.
EIS: Well you certainly have Exploding In Sound's support with that! With the year ending and websites releasing their top 10 lists, I was curious as to what some of your favorite records of the year were?
MD: Oh man, well… I really liked the Red Fang record that came out this year. Those guys rule, they're really good friends of ours and I was super happy everything was coming through for them. They finally got the deal they wanted and got the good exposure, and I fucking love those guys. I thought the Them Crooked Vultures record was really cool, but I couldn't give you my honest top 10 off the top of my head.
EIS: Hey, those are two great choices. I really appreciate you doing the interview, thanks so much and look forward to hearing much more from you in the new year.

Trail running is a variant on running that diverge distinctly from road running. It basically takes place on hiking trails, usually on single track trails, even though fire roads are not unusual. A distinct feature of the trails is that they are regularly inaccessible by major roads but of the trail heads. The trails have the tendency to cross different terrains such as swamps, hills, forests and narrow pathways, thus a different type of running shoes are needed.
The first thing you need to do is to find a trail running shoe that has a stronger and more durable, bent sole which will help you to gain more footing on rocks and mud. The sole should also efficiently be shock proof, from running on hard and rocky surfaces, such as pebbles, mud and rocks.

NEW YORK: Oil prices tumbled Thursday as economists said the recent surge in fuel prices will eventually hurt the fragile economic recovery.
So far fuel prices haven't slowed consumption, but economist Michael Lynch warned that drivers and businesses may start cutting back, if oil remains above the $100 per barrel level. The jump in oil has already pushed the average price for gasoline in the US up by 46 cents a gallon this year, just as some workers who were laid off during the recession return to a daily commute.

She Finally Wears the Guayabera Jumper! August 15 2010
We met up with a friend visiting from out-of-town today for brunch at Founding Farmers, a terrific farm-to-table restaurant in DC. Everything from the coffee to the waffle to eggs benedict were delicious. We had to wait about 45 minutes for a table beforehand though, which really sucks when you have a hungry child who is bored with the Cheerios holdover trick.
But, baby K got to wear her lilac guayabera jumper out today! I wrote about it recently--it's the one her madrina bought for her in Miami. It is so cute, but the only issue I have with it is that there are no buttons on the legs for diaper changes, so I've basically got to nakedify my poor child to change her. Not fun to do, especially at this stage where she squirms and tries to roll over and sit up when we change her.
After brunch we took her to the National Building Museum and let her cut loose. Apparently, every other parent in the area had the same idea because it was hoppin'. We played with mega legos for a while, let her run around chasing older kids--which totally fascinate her now, and then went home. And now she is asleep! Muahahah, score.
