- Excerpt from: Consequences of the Failure of a Secured Creditor to File a Timely Proof of Claim:
Most of us are familiar with the concept that liens generally pass through a bankruptcy. But what happens to the secured creditor's claim if the creditor fails to file a proof of claim on or before the bar date? Two recent cases give us some guidance. In In re Shelton, No. 12-3555 (8th Cir. Nov. 4, 2013), the Eighth Circuit held that a late claim can be disallowed without extinguishing the underlying lien. So, an action in personam is extinguished but an action in rem remains. But what does that mean from a plan confirmation standpoint? According to the court in In re Batista-Sanechez, No. 12-48247 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. Oct. 25, 2013), that means that the secured creditor loses the right to vote on the debtor's plan and to a distribution. Of course, since the lien claim survives that creates complications for the debtor in getting a plan confirmed. The court said that the lien claim will have to be separately classified since the secured creditor will be deemed to reject the plan because it cannot vote. Consequently, the debtor must satisfy the cramdown provisions to confirm the plan. Hopefully, we will get more clarity on this puzzling issue soon.

Nice overview - may be addictive...
June 27 2004
This review is from:
Like,Omigod! 80's..Culture Box (Audio CD)
Be forewarned, the sugar-coated empty calories found in the LIKE, OMIGOD... box set from Rhino will just leave you wanting more. 142 tracks across seven CDs and it just scratches the surface on a shallow, yet oddly endearing decade.
LIKE, OMIGOD... hits almost all of the popularly acknowledged high points, including "867-5309/Jenny," "Tainted Love," "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," - as well as great novelty numbers and underground tunes like "Pac-Man Fever," "Da Da Da," and "Turning Japanese." While not in strict chronological order like Rhino's 70s set, HAVE A NICE DECADE, LIKE, OMIGOD... is well-sequenced and provides a relatively satisfying trip - as well as a great set for any party. No need for "random play" here - just load this set, hit "play" and dance away.
While this set is almost certainly a one-stop shop for the music fan simply looking for a well-balanced 80s collection, the completist and discerning collector will no doubt view this as the tip of the iceberg. Those such as myself, more enthralled with the simultaneous New Wave movement, will find lots more to love (approximately 300 tracks worth - with minimal duplication) in Rhino's 15-volume JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH 80s collection. Even then, LIKE, OMIGOD... will spur you on to fill up your shopping cart with with entire albums by Billy Squier, Duran Duran, The Fixx, Pretenders and more.
The only downside to be found is that LIKE, OMIGOD... also forces the listener to take the bad with the good (or the worse with the bad?), presenting end-of-the-decade stinkers such as New Kids on the Block and Richard Marx toward the end of the seventh disc. For this listener, those musical tragedies are still too recent, too terrible to revisit with any degree of nostalgia.
As gaudily packaged as the decade it represents, LIKE, OMIGOD... is presented in a hardcover book format identical to HAVE A NICE DECADE and contains a similar full-color booklet complete with essays, trivia, 80s timeline and notes on each of the performers and songs included. The sound of the CDs, as with all Rhino product, is pristine. As for the sound of some of the music - well, you can't blame Rhino...

Classic Motorhead - with a Touch of White Line Fever
June 25 2004
This review is from:
Inferno (Audio CD)
Motorhead's most recent offering, INFERNO, lives up to a promise made to me by an in-the-know metalhead years ago, as he introduced me to the band: "They release an album every year, they keep their sound the same and they all rock."
INFERNO not only rocks, it churns and grinds and chugs along as only Motorhead does and reminds this listener most of their initial eponymous album from '77 - a simple, straightforward, yet immensely powerful record. Lemmy and Company hit all the usual subjects; death, sex, hopelessness, lycanthropy, etc, all at about the same tempo, with no real standout surprises - and no guitar trickery - just straight, simple rock-and-roll. That said, there are not any stinkers, either (though, to be perfectly honest, this band rarely falters). Consistency and quality are king and even guest Steve Vai doesn't overstep his bounds, adding a hand on a couple numbers. While these are still fast tracks, the speed-addled days of ACE OF SPADES seem past and the seasoned fan will likely agree that the tempo and feel of INFERNO, while not unlike that of the '77 debut, fits right in with recent works such as HAMMERED and WE ARE MOTORHEAD, though its subject matter is decidedly darker overall. Still, the boys aren't all doom and gloom and wrap up the entire affair with an excellent, fun acoustic blues number complete with Lemmy on harmonica - and it works.
While probably not the best place to begin for the Motorhead-curious (try NO REMORSE, ACE OF SPADES or OVERKILL), INFERNO certainly delivers what longtime fans have come to expect from a band that rarely strays from its formula yet never "phones it in." And across over 25 years and well over 20 albums, that's saying something.

Excellent Entry in the Hellraiser Canon
June 22 2004
This review is from:
Hellraiser: Hellseeker (DVD)
HELLRAISER: HELLSEEKER, the sixth installment in the Hellraiser series, is a fine, taut chiller, handled masterfully by first-time director Rick Bota (cinematographer on DEMON KNIGHT, HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL and VALENTINE and director of the upcoming Hellraiser sequels DEADER and HELLWORLD). This is a nail-biter, especially for newcomers to the series, who will no doubt love this 90-minute amalgam of murder mystery and nightmarish gore pic. Hellraiser faithfuls, however, may be a bit off-put by the similarities to its predecessor, HELLRAISER: INFERNO (still the finest sequel the series has seen).
INFERNO aside, there's still plenty for the horror film buff to love in HELLSEEKER. Bota provides incredibly claustrophic framing throughout, so the viewer can never quite see over protagonist Dean Winters' shoulder. Additionally, the film is very well-lit with hospital neon greens and police station blues adding intensity to the dizzying nightmare. Bota's cinematography experience serves him well and what HELLSEEKER lacks in originality is more than made up for in pure atmosphere.
And then there's the return of Kirsty. Series followers were no doubt hoping for a Kirsty/Pinhead showdown, but that's nowhere to be found in HELLSEEKER. Doug Bradley's Pinhead keeps scarce (a la INFERNO) as does Kirsty, both simply popping in and out when twists and/or exposition are called for. While this does come as a sort of letdown, it ultimately provides an interesting direction for Kirsty as a new antihero and leaves the series wide open for the future sequels. Still, it was nice to see the series reconnected to its origins. This reviewer was pleased to hear a few references to Uncle Frank throughout the film (and was that a quick cameo by Kirsty's flayed father in the basement of the police station?!?)
All in all, HELLSEEKER is an admirable - and extremely enjoyable - entry into the Hellraiser series. While the hardcore fan can tell early on that this is INFERNO redux, that's still not necessarily a bad thing. For those of us still reeling from BLOODLINE and HELL ON EARTH, it's downright welcome.
The HELLSEEKER DVD looks great and sounds OK. The 5.1 Surround is underused (especially for a fright flick) and poorly utilized when it does come into play. Bota's commentary is again a welcome addition for fans of the series as recent DVDs have been bare bones affairs. Several alternate scenes are also provided. Highly recommended for fans of the series and B-flicks alike.

Fun Film - Would Benefit from a Sequel
June 12 2004
This review is from:
Remo Williams: The Adventure Begins... (Sous-titres fran�ais) [Import] (DVD)
A late-night cable favorite since its creation, REMO WILLIAMS has always been close to my heart and revisiting this DVD recently reignited my wishes for a sequel.
REMO WILLIAMS' strong point has always been its weakness as well. "The Adventure Begins" the title tells us up front, and presents a tale devoted almost entirely to character origin and development. Whereas lesser films would have thrown in a training montage across three minutes of film, Remo's lasts ninety. And it's not even over. Never "ready" to be unleashed as the assassin he's meant to be, Remo Williams spends the entirety of the film under Chiun's tutelage, forced into action only by circumstance. Only in the final minutes does he seem ready to begin the life he has been designed for.
How does this affect the film? Well, it will feel downright slow for the Fast and Furious generation weaned on quick-cut, shallow films like XXX which speed along from one explosion to the next. For those of us who used to read way back when and enjoyed seeing these pulpy characters fleshed out onscreen - as well as those of us who dug Kung Fu Theatre on Sunday afternoons (check out KILL BILL Vol 2's "Cruel Tutelage of Pai Mai" sequence for the heavy influence of Chiun), it means this is a simultaneous delight and letdown (the latter only because, realistically, we know there will never be a sequel to continue this story).
My only other minor criticism of REMO WILLIAMS is its relatively bloodless onscreen presentation. Not that I'm looking for gore, but for an assassination film, this one is very tame. On the upside, one could feel very comfortable sharing this film with pre-teen action enthusiasts.
The REMO WILLIAMS DVD is a bare bones, full-screen affair, but at its bargain price, who can really complain? You know what you're getting and it looks better than a TV re-run. A deluxe edition DVD would be nice but this viewer isn't holding his breath.

None Better You Bet
April 6 2004
This review is from:
The Who - The Kids Are Alright (Special Edition) (2DVD) (DVD)
Easily the best Rock-and-Roll DVD available, and probably one of the finest DVD releases overall I've ever seen, THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT is guaranteed to satisfy any Who fan and make a fan out of those not already initiated.
This DVD finds the film fully restored and presented with stunning clarity and incredible sound. The DTS track shook our living room yet every instrument remained distinct and clear, especially impressive during the show-stopping "Baba O'Riley" and "Won't Get Fooled Again."
None too boring (and a bit light on actual history), one cannot consider KIDS as the band's story, at least not in a "we were four lads in London..." sense. This film lets the music speak for itself, interjecting small bits of banter and interview segments between the numbers, which are not presented chronologically but instead perfectly juxtaposed old against new against older against newer yet, leaving the viewer/listener awash in absolute and utterly joyful sounds and images of the world's loudest (and easily one of the best) rock bands.
There is not a single complaint to be registered regarding this DVD. The second disc boasts a wealth of extras for the Who fanatic and DVD minutae-phile alike - if you can get to it. Once I finished the main feature, I started it all over again. Rock-and-Roll cinema gets no finer. No "Behind the Music"-esque drama, no reunion shots of a band past their prime - THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT is a heavy slab of the Who at their best. Grab it now. Call it a bargain. The best you ever had.

A Little Blood, A Few Scares, Lots of Fun
March 28 2004
This review is from:
Tourist Trap (Widescreen) [Import] (DVD)
TOURIST TRAP is a film for the horror afficionado, not the casual horror fan. If you like shock, gore and nail-biting, screaming scare scenes, this may bore you. If you've spent hundreds of hours watching all-night camp fright flicks and have a soft spot in your heart for good (not great) and slightly goofy films a la MOTEL HELL, you'll fall in love with TOURIST TRAP.
The set-up is the same you've seen a thousand times. Three gals and two guys break down in the woods, go skinny dipping and then die one by one. You know by the second murder who the killer "really" is and also which heroine will survive the carnage (this one plays by all the standard rules). Still, you've got a great cornball factor with Chuck "Rifleman" Connors in the Jim Siedow-esque role of helpful country bumpkin and a bona fide Scream Queen in Jocelyn Jones (easily the best performer in the film, her eyes convey true terror - it's a pity she didn't make a career of this).
The film fails in the pacing department and we have too many escapes and recaptures and escapes again after the killer's identity is revealed two-thirds of the way through the film. Still, there is a genuine creep factor in the apearance and manipulation of the mannequins (and Ms. Jones' mental breakdown at the film's end has the viewer wondering if they're really alive as well), though it's almost cancelled out by the notion of the lunatic slasher wielding psychokinetic powers as well. Coming five years after TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, the vision of the hulking killer in a woman's mask surrounded by an artifical family of mannequins doesn't seems as original and eerie as it should.
All in all, though, TOURIST TRAP is fun viewing - and actually appropriate for the young horror fan (no nudity, cursing and very little blood) as well. This DVD, from Koch Vision Entertainment, looks great and boasts a nice selection of extra features, all at an incredibly reasonable price. Not the best by far, but this will undoubtedly warm the heart of anyone who enjoys films such as Tobe Hooper's FUNHOUSE, ALICE SWEET ALICE, MOTEL HELL, HELL NIGHT, and PHANTASM. Grab WAXWORK and make it a double feature!

Extremely uneven set for the Shaver fan
Nov. 26 2003
This review is from:
Live from Down Under (Audio CD)
While Shaver completists will no doubt "need" this CD in their collection (I did - and I'll keep it), this is not the live album I was hoping for. Shaver's songs, overall well-delivered, are overpowered by Friedman and Company's personality and off-the-wall performances. Familiar only with Friedman by name, I didn't know his music before buying this record and have no desire to hear any more. I felt the pairing ruined any enjoyment to be gleaned from Shaver's contribution.
The Friedman fan, however, may really, really like this record - and may even say Shaver drags it down - the two styles really do not complement one another. Should you like both, you're probably in luck.
The Shaver fan awaiting another UNSHAVEN should keep waiting and pass this one by. And the Shaver-curious looking for live thrills should grab that record instead of this one - it's a far better example of Shaver's power fronting a live band.

Finally - a cult favorite that lives up to the hype.
Oct. 4 2003
This review is from:
Ginger Snaps [Import] (DVD)
I was afraid to buy this. It sounded too good to be true. A good werewolf movie? So many years (and bad films) after the Howling? You bet your life. GINGER SNAPS is not just good, it's great. And smart. Hip without being snide, slick yet retaining integrity, this is not just a good werewolf movie - or a good horror movie - it's just a great movie altogether.
Mimi Rogers aside, the cast were all unknown to this viewer yet could not have been more perfectly chosen for their roles. You know these characters (or you are these characters) and even though you may not be a lycanthrope, you're easily drawn in and aligned with their trials. This is no out-at-the-full-moon and back-at-dawn transformation, this is one long, drawn-out shapeshift; the misery of puberty. Even if you didn't grow a tail when you turned 16, if you felt like you might as well have, this is a movie for you.
Well-paced, expertly directed and, of course, PERFECTLY acted, GINGER SNAPS only disappoints slightly in the same way almost all werewolf films do: the final, full-on beast just never looks 100% convincing. Who cares? Getting there is all the fun and the film's final scene avoids the cliched, easy ending and goes for the heart.
I hear the two leads are in on production for GINGER SNAPS II as well as a prequel. I don't know where these could go, but I'll even give the dread horror sequel a chance based on this refreshingly strong, nearly flawless film. One of my favorite finds this year.

Worthy sequel, medicore DVD presentation
Aug. 23 2003
This review is from:
Fright Night Part II [Import] (DVD)
I loved FRIGHT NIGHT PART II upon its original release in '89. Having picked it up again in its first DVD incarnation, I can't help but feel disappointed.
The film itself suffers from sequelitis in general. The story is nowhere near as compelling nor well-told as the first, but it is still a lot of fun with the same core protagonists from the original and features well-done effects and direction. While the original FRIGHT NIGHT still carries a strong 80s flavor, this film feels even more dated, however, and suffers accordingly. Still, those who enjoyed it back then should pick it up now - still a great late night viewing.
The DVD, on the other hand, is unfortunately typical lower-grade Artisan fare. A bare-bones DVD, the picture looks terrible - grainy, foggy and full of defects. Of course, who but perhaps Anchor bay would invest the time and money to restore a film as this (and perhaps they will some day)? Fans will doubtless be happy to own this film in any form and it looks no worse than it would on any late night cable station. Knee-jerk naysayers will bemoan the lack of a "widescreen" presentation, but this film was originally shot in a full-screen ratio (perhaps because it was directed toward a growing home-video market at the time, though it did enjoy a brief theatrical release).
All in all, a really fun film and not a bad buy at all for fans of the series.

Clever, concise, yet extremely thorough...
Aug. 17 2003
This review is from:
The Zombie Movie Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
If you're a zombie film-lover wondering whether this volume is worth the hardcover price, simply click the "buy" button and get it over with. Once it's in your hands, you'll forget about the cost and enjoy several hours of great reading - as well as a reference you'll return to again and again.
Dendle provides several scholarly (yet not stuffy) pages of historical overview and then delves into a film-by-film analysis that had me re-visiting and re-appreciating my own video library and then running out to buy those films I know knew I could not live without. As any zombie film fanatic knows, we can spend lots of money and sit through hundreds of wasted hours before finding a diamond in the rough. Dr. Dendle's done the work for you - all you have to do now is find the films.
The ZOMBIE MOVIE ENCYCLOPEDIA is by no means complete - while the author visits many films that have even the slightest zombie connection (e.g., WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S PART 2), he misses out on others altogether that could easily fall into the zombie genre (e.g., John Carpenter's PRINCE OF DARKNESS or Lamberto Bava's DEMONS films). Still, there's no way any of us can see them all and Dendle appears to have seen and reviewed more than anyone else.
I cannot recommend this book more highly. Ignore the cheesy cover art. Don't worry about the price. If you love zombie films, this will immediately become your primary reference source. As a matter of fact, buy two - every zombie fanatic seems to have a friend who's just as devoted to the genre - and this will make a great gift.

How Chris Isaak Keeps Romance at Bay
This being a Valentine kind of week and his new album, "Always Got Tonight," just out, Time Out New York magazine approached musician and Showtime comedy star Chris Isaak for his thoughts on love. After all, claims the publication, the 45-year-old singer (who doesn't look his age, thanks to "steroids," he joked) delivers songs that qualify him to be the poster boy of heartbreak. "I'm also the poster boy for psoriasis," he joked. Yet on the home front, he says quite seriously, "I've never lived with anybody. Not so much because I don't like the idea -- it's just that I'm messy. 'Honey, I think we can live together, but I've got to clean up this kitchen first.' " Though they apparently didn't stay together long enough to discuss cohabitation, Isaak does confirm that he and comic Margaret Cho dated. "She's a very pretty woman," he says, but "life tore us apart." As for the desire to settle down and start a family, he admits, "I've had that desire. I've also had the desire to buy a large catamaran. The desire passed when I looked at the realities. My parents have been married for 50 years . . . if you're going to do it, you've got to do it like that." Finally, asked point blank what was the most romantic a thing a woman has ever done for him, Isaak responded: "Dropped the charges."

The economic downturn, slump in demand and resultant 20 to 30 percent downward price adjustment in the Cape's coastal villages, has created a unique opportunity for buyers to pick up holiday homes and vacant land at exceptional value.
This is according to Seeff Hermanus licensee, Marius Pieters, who says buyers looking for good value have not been short of options as evidenced by the fact that almost all of the 46 properties sold in the village over the past year have been in the sub-R3 million price band.
He says the close proximity of Hermanus and its satellite villages (Vermont, Onrus, Sandbaai and Fisherhaven) to Cape Town and the airport, which is an estimated forty five minute drive, makes it an ideal destination for Capetonians, but they have also seen some Johannesburg and other out-of-town buyers coming back into the market this year.
While retirement buying remains an important driver of sales, he says the area is getting younger. Festivals such as the annual Hermanus Whale Festival have brought younger crowds and families to the town and the area has become a trendy weekend and holiday hangout.
The scenic location, unpolluted air and laid-back coastal lifestyle along with the best whale watching in the world are big draw cards, but there is no shortage of leisure activities. The village has excellent infrastructure, beautiful wine farms, trendy eateries, white sandy beaches and just about every water sport activity.
Pieters says they have seen a 44 percent growth in sales for the first eight months of this year and have sold 47 properties compared to 37 during the same period last year.
Sales range from a four bedroom home in Eastcliff that sold for R1.65 million to a home with stunning views in Hemel en Aarde that sold for R2.795 million. A four bedroom home in Fernkloof also sold for R2.995 million while a large double storey home in Prestwick Village sold for R3.35 million.
There has also been good demand for vacant plots, something that they have not seen for a while, he says. Three plots recently sold in Fernkloof Golf Estate, priced from R695 000 for 649 square metres to R900 000 for 844 square metres.
A 1 088 square metre corner plot in Hermanus Heights also sold for R860 000 and a 1 800 square metre plot in Fernkloof sold for R3.5 million.
The villages of Vermont and Onrus have also seen renewed interest with sales ranging from a modern, three bedroom cottage with mountain views that sold for R895 000 to a four bedroom, wooden house that sold for R2.2 million.
Onrus in particular has been popular with 12 recent sales including a sea view plot that sold for R1.395 million. Holiday home sales range from a small, two bedroom cottage that sold for R990 000 to a number of three and four bedroom homes that sold for between R1.595 million and R1.85 million. A modern, double storey home with sea and mountain views sold for R2.1 million while a home overlooking Onrus Manor sold for R2.2 million.
Sales in the more affordable Sandbaai area range from a small, two bedroom cottage that sold for R655 000 to a three bedroom cottage that sold for R850 000 while a four bedroom beachfront home sold for R3.75 million.
The best value on offer right now is in the largely unspoilt village of Fisherhaven, says agent, Linda Woolnough. It is located just fifteen minutes from Hermanus on the Botriver Lagoon next to a Marine Nature Reserve, within walking distance of pristine beaches.
The area is a nature lover's paradise with bird species including Flamingos and Pelicans and frequent visits from a small herd of wild horses. Coastal and country hiking and biking, fishing and water sports are some of the main attractions and the village has its own yacht club.
The Arabella 5-star Golf Course Estate and the new Benguela Wine Estate are also located on this lagoon.
The village is relatively undeveloped and is becoming more popular with young families, says Woolnough. It is also the last remaining coastal area where buyers can still find waterfront properties at reasonable prices, she says.
Vacant plots of between 900 square metres and 1 500 square metres with mountain views, located close to the lagoon are selling for between R270 000 and R500 000.
Waterfront plots start from around R900 000 and holiday cottages sell from R500 000 for a two bedroom and R650 000 for a three bedroom home.
There is a good selection of homes priced below R1.5 million and waterfront properties below R2 million on offer.

Riccardo Montolivo scored against his former teammates, but 10-man Fiorentina fought back from 2-0 down to hold Milan in a Florence thriller. Nenad Tomovic saw red for a dubious elbow, while the Tuscans received two penalties and lost Stevan Jovetic. It was fourth against third in Florence, as Jovetic completed a remarkable recovery from a thigh problem to start with Borja Valero returning from suspension. Massimo Ambrosini missed out for the visitors, so Riccardo Montolivo was captain as he received a hostile reception from his old fans. Kevin-Prince Boateng completed the trident with a new bleach blond hairstyle.

Power-pop band Revolush conquers 'Stagefright'
William Shakespeare famously wrote, "All the world's a stage." But rocking a stage and acting on a stage are distinctly different experiences, said Tommy Hahn, 42, who performs with Skylight Music Theatre full-time and fronts the power-pop group Revolush in his spare time.
"There's quite the gang aspect to playing in a band vs. being in a musical," Hahn said. "In a musical, someone else sells tickets, you're in a group with 12 to 20 other people sometimes, and you have other people backing this up, like the orchestra and stage manager. In Revolush, it's basically four guys against everybody." »Read Full Article

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- Sauté the shallots in a medium saucepan with the oil over a high heat for about 3 mins until lightly browned, stirring often. Season with ground black pepper and add the garlic and rosemary. Continue cooking for a further 3 mins, stirring often to prevent the shallots burning.
- Pour in the vinegar and cook until evaporated away to a syrup, then pour in the wine and cook until reduced by two thirds.
- Pour in the stock and bring to the boil. Turn down the heat and simmer until reduced by two-thirds again, to around 250ml. Remove the garlic and rosemary. Add a little salt to taste and finally 'monte' (whisk) in a knob of butter. Add any juices from the steaks just before serving.

Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas - The weights are in for Saturday's big 140-pound unification.

Pastor Warren Stewart Makes Phoenix City Council Candidacy Official
Although we heard a couple weeks ago that Pastor Warren Stewart was going to run for Phoenix City Council, he's made it official today.
Stewart is now one of two African-Americans who are running for the Phoenix City Council seat in District 8 -- which is currently held by Vice Mayor Michael Johnson -- a seat that has been held by an African-American for the last 46 years.

ADL: Apathy Reigns In Europe
by Adam Dickter
Staff Writer
Photo Galleria:
In its first survey of European attitudes about Jews, the Anti-Defamation League has found that 30 percent of respondents harbor "traditional anti-Semitic stereotypes," while nearly half believe Jews are more loyal to Israel than to their native lands. But more disturbing than the statistics is evidence that officials in major European countries are doing next to nothing to stop the synagogue desecrations, assaults and other expressions of hate that have swept across the continent in the past two years, says ADL national director Abraham Foxman. "The violence is carried out by a small group," said Foxman. "But there is a larger number who are apathetic, who tolerate it and permit it." The poll found that 62 percent of Europeans dismiss the recent outbreak of violence against Jews in Europe as a result of anti-Israel sentiment and not traditional anti-Jewish feelings. The finding that 30 percent of Europeans are "hard-core" anti-Semites far exceeds the 17 percent of Americans so designated in the ADL survey released two weeks ago. Foxman said this was alarming because a higher propensity toward anti-Semitism made such attitudes more mainstream. "The greater the anti-Semitism in the general population, the less likely there is to be a political will to deal with it," he said. "You don't see politicians standing up, you don't see law enforcement acting, making arrests, bringing indictments." Foxman said the most disturbing finding in the poll was that 45 percent of Europeans questioned the loyalty of Jews to their countries of origin. "It's a hideous, sinister, dangerous canard, because the history of anti-Semitism is [in the belief] that Jews are not loyal to princes, nobles ... and they were either killed or expelled or separated." The telephone survey was conducted between May 16 and June 4. Pollsters contacted a total of 2,500 people in Belgium, France, Germany, Denmark and the United Kingdom. Among other significant findings: 30 percent believe Jews have too much power in the business world; 19 percent say Jews don't care about anyone but their own kind; 39 percent say Jews talk too much about the Holocaust; One interesting finding on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict suggested that media coverage of the dispute shed little light on its foundations. Although 57 percent said they follow media coverage of the conflict regularly, 63 percent said they knew "very little" about the details. Only 28 percent said they view Israel favorably, while 29 percent sympathized more with the Palestinians. But 86 percent said there is no justification for suicide attacks against Israel. And 60 percent said Israeli military force is excessive and unhelpful. Foxman said American Jews need to be better informed about the extent of European anti-Semitism. But he said a boycott of travel or products, suggested by some leaders, would not be helpful in bringing about change. "I don't think we can impact on French wine or perfume or on [tourism to] the French Riviera," said the ADL leader. He suggested speaking out and raising consciousness would be more effective. "These countries have finally come to grips with the Holocaust. They didn't do so out of fear of a boycott, but because they want an image of good will in America and abroad."

Learning from foreign subsidiaries: An empirical investigation of headquarters' benefits from reverse knowledge transfers
Within MNCs, the traditional role of headquarters as prime source of knowledge and competencies is changing. Increasingly, headquarters act as a receiver of knowledge from their internationally dispersed subsidiaries. But what drives the benefits headquarters can gain from such reverse knowledge transfers? Drawing on an empirical sample of 294 intra-MNC knowledge transfers, we identify the key variables impacting on headquarters' ability to benefit from reverse knowledge transfer. Taken collectively, our findings indicate that the efficiency of the MNC as a knowledge integrating institution is being driven by changes in both, the subsidiary's context and its capabilities to process knowledge. We discuss the implications of our analysis on the emerging knowledge based theory of the firm, draw out inferences for the strategic agenda of MNCs and suggest avenues for future research.

Posted on 11/23/2011 9:26:13 PM PST by This Just In
Rolling Stone names Jimi Hendrix the Greatest Guitarist of all Time, followed by Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page The rest of the top five are Keith Richards and Jeff Beck
BY Jim Farber
Wednesday, November 23 2011, 3:44 PM
Yes, hes experienced.
Jimi Hendrix has been proclaimed the Greatest Guitarist of All Time by a panel of musicians wrangled by Rolling Stone Magazine.
Though dead for more than 40 years, Hendrixs fiery and distinct style clearly continues to inspire, and intimidate, six-string pluckers the world over.
(Excerpt) Read more at nydailynews.com ...
Steve Howe
Uli John Roth
Andre Segovia
Paco Pena
Huw Loyd Langton
Michael Ackerfelt
James Burton is the greatest guitarist of all time. Everyone knows that, right?
Thanks. I haven't dug out any old Hendrix albums to check in ages. Now it's just MP3 playlists with no album cover.
What happened to Chet Atkins or Roy Clarke?
Oh yest, they are not Black or hippies.
Mother Maybelle Carter was the greatest. Her techniques have been copied (or attempted to be copied) by countless musicians. Another ignored artist is Duane Eddy. Rolling Stone's ratings are based on the ages and exposure to music of the existing generation that read that publication.
Listen , hear the applause and then vote:
I am a huge Pat Metheny fan but Lana is absolutely right here. Pat is a serious and deeply respectful musician. By the way, his Statement Regarding Kenny G is one of my favorite pieces of "music related writing" of all time!
No he isn't. Stevie Ray Vaughn was the best.
Here's Alex Lifeson playing a cover of "Crossroads" which I thought more fitting on this thread in honor of Eric Clapton who did make the list.
Although one of my personal favorites of his is La Villa Stranglato. And "Malignant Narcissism" is a recent GREAT instrumental. I can't wait to hear what is on Rush's new album.
Question: What do you have when drool is coming out of both sides of Keith Richard's mouth?
Answer: A level stage
Just went over to YouTue and listened to Segovia's Asturias. Beautiful. Had the privilege of hearing him in concert many, many years ago. He stands alone.
Richard Thompson. Saw him at a an acoustical, one-man show in New Haven, CT. Would swear he was not alone on some songs.
Amazing -
100+ posts on this thread, and no mention of Les Paul...
Not only was he seminal in the technical evolution of the electric guitar from a big-band side novelty into the dominant instrument it is today, (one of the, if not the, most popular instruments bears his name to this day) but he also created many of the playing techniques that form the 'basics' for every electric guitar player since, from the eminences mentioned on this thread to the kid keeping the neighborhood awake nights with his screeching and sqawking...
If innovation and influence is part of the criteria, Les Paul certainly belongs on any serious list....
"Ill wager that they have never heard of Andres Segovia..."
Glad to see someone chime in that really knows true talent, thank you. Segovia is the master, without question.
In my opinion, Charro, Leo Kottke, John Fahey, Jose Feliciano were/are all better than Jimmie.
Agree both tie at number one.
Alvin Lee (Ten Years After)
Jeff Beck.
"Rolling Stones ratings are based on the ages and exposure to music of the existing generation that read that publication."
1) Jimi
3) Page
4) Gilmour
5) Iommi
6) Angus
7) Blackmoore
8) Lifeson
9) Allen Collins
10) Townsend
Admittedly, I haven't heard every recording of Hendrix but what I have heard just grated on my nerves. To me, it was alot of noise. He is not #1 on 3cats list.
I never "got" Jimmy Page. He was horrible live. Sloppy (perhaps drunk or stoned), totally unimpressive. He was a great studio guitarist though. Richards' greatness comes from his rhythm playing---probably one of the top rhythm guitarists of all time. Harrison probably rates because he was neither an innovator nor a technician but a "bridge" between Chuck Berry and the new sound.
An interesting challenge is on the "Abby Road" album in the guitar jam just before "The End." There are three guitars, according to the Beatles' biographer Jon Gould, and Harrison, McCartney, and Lennon were all playing lead, trading off. See if you can figure out who is who!
Getting back to Clapton and Beck: I got the sense after I heard Clapton with Cream live that at some point you heard everything he could do. It totally fit whatever he was playing---and that was the greatness of Cream, in that since they were all soloing all the time, the genius came in the mix of the three, not any one guy in particular. But every time I heard Beck, I got the feeling that "this guy is really holding back. He's teasing you with what he can do."
Hendrix was awesome the first time I heard him circa 1968---he had just come out with the Experience. But a year later, he just couldn't get it together, none of the rifs really were as good, and he appeared stoned. The audience was screaming for "Vanilla Fudge," who opened for him, 10 minutes into his set. It was sad.
Stevie was a total copier. Good, but couldn't even get the essence of Hendrix at times. Like Clapton, after a while, you heard everything he had. I'd rank him #5 or 6.
Personally, I couldn't stand Townsend as a guitarist.
If you want a current excellent Christian guitarist who doesn't go for a lot of distortion or tricks, listen to Lincoln Brewster. He played with Michael W. Smith and Journey for a while. Super.
As a contemporary of Kaukonen, who saw him at least once live, I never got the high regard with which he was held.
John Petrucci deserves a mention.
I think Vaughn has too much Clapton in him. The only guy who doesn't do this is Beck, who not only doesn't play it safe, but unlike Hendrix and Winter, "gets" whatever weird thing he goes for.
BTW, Clapton said of Beck, Hendrix, and himself that Jeff Beck was the best.
As well as Bill Nelson. He's fantastic. Manages so many styles.
Les Paul.
Try Highway Chile, 51st Anniversary, Killing Floor, Mannish Boy, Can you see me? I don't live today, Red House, Hear my train a comin'...
Sorry FRiend, but yer out to lunch on this one.
No he wasn't. Jimi could do things with a guitar Duane (or anyone else) had never even imagined much less accomplished. A biographer listed some 210 odd sounds Hendrix invented and used in his playing vocabulary. No one was more appreciative of Hendrix than fellow musicians. He blew them out of their shoes and they said so to anyone who would listen. When Jimi was playing clubs in NY, early on, a top session player (whose name escapes me) would leave the studio, step across the street and see the unknown Jimi playing things he admitted he couldn't do (if he'd thought of them in the first place). Hendrix was two things: A virtuoso (a more physical accomplishment) and a spellbinder ( a more spiritual thing). That voodoo of knowing how much silence to put in between the notes is the rarest thing in musical accomplishment. Allman, like Les Paul and Eric Clapton etc had it (in spades) but recognized that Hendrix owned it.
And I am a git fiddler meself.
I don't know about this list....I think RS is as misguided about guitar greatness as they are about politics.
Just my $.02.
You should check out what Beck said about meeting Hendrix. It's on YouTube.
Bill Nelson is still pushing out some *amazing* work at age 61 or 62.
Dick Dale.
Dick Dale is so under rated. He had major influence on the designing of Fender amps. Another guy that gets written off is Frank Zappa. His music is not for every one, but he sure could play.
I saw him perform a few years ago with his son In Newport Beach, still a great performer.
I'm getting old. Now I can talk about Yngwie J. Malmsteen concerts with other Freepers.
I too went to a couple of his tour shows in the 80's. At one that he headlined, he made us wait about 75 minutes to appear after his band was set to go. People were tired and angry. Same show he waited backstage 15 minutes before coming back for his encore.
I love his recorded music from Alcatraz and the first couple solo albums. But it didn't translate to the stage performance in those days. Live he was a pompous ass and couldn't really make his compositions sing like they did on the recording.
The interesting thing to me about all these posts is that we are naming guys from 30 and 40 years ago. It would appear the whole guitar god thing was an era in time that no longer exists.
Agreed. There cannot be a serious conversation on who is best without Alex Lifeson.
The only trophy Richards deserves is "Highest Toxicity" attained without departing earth.

It's Not too Late!
It's not too late to be an informed voter! And, if you are reading this after 6:00 p.m. on November 6, you will be plenty early for the next election! Why do I vote? Even if people tell me that my vote doesn't really matter, I know that my voting does. I vote, primarily, because my parents always exercised this right, staying abreast of local and national issues by reading newspapers and news magazines, and discussing political issues in family conversations. As a parent, I try to continue these civic-minded practices.

Tips for beach glass hunters
Tips for beach glass collectors:
1 Let it rain. Go out following a big storm, after the waves have washed up on the beaches, and look at places where tiny stones gather.
2 Look twice. If you find one piece of glass, check again. Chances are there might be other pieces.
3Rock on. On rocky beaches, beach glass could be tucked in with larger stones.
4Winter works. Winter days, when the water is not frozen and there is no snow on the beaches, have been known to yield quite a few pieces of beach glass.
5 Up on cripple creek. Comb beaches near where creeks enter the lake. Years ago, trash dumps were common along these paths -- where bottles and jars washed into the lake.
6 Be patient. Some of the rarest colors are from glass that hasn't been common for a long time. Red glass, for example, was used in automobile taillights before World War II -- until plastics replaced glass.
7 Slippery sand. Look in wet sand, which is a good place to find green or blue glass. Be careful not to overlook white glass, however, which turns almost invisible when wet.
8 Make a commitment. Don't even go if you have less than 45 minutes. You must take your time and scan the beach as if you're reading a book. There's comfort in the ritual of beach glass hunting, even in the sorting of it afterward.
9 Not everyone has a heart of glass. Some serious beach glass hunters don't want to share information about the places where they found their stash. So be careful whom you ask, and don't be put off if they clam up.
10 A shattering thought. There is a finite supply of beach glass. That's a good thing, because it's a sign that we're no longer dumping our garbage in the lake.

TV Ratings: CBS procedurals anchor a Wednesday win as 'Cougar Town' cools
Fast National ratings for Wednesday, Oct. 7, 2009.
With ABC's 8 p.m. comedies drooping, CBS' late-evening procedurals carried the network to a solid Wednesday night ratings win and "Jay Leno" gives "Eastwick" a scare.
Among adults 18-49, CBS and FOX tied with a 2.8 rating. ABC's 2.3 rating was a solid third, with NBC taking fourth in the key demographic with a 2.0 rating. The CW finished fifth with a 1 rating.
Overall, CBS won more comfortably, averaging an estimated 10.8 million viewers and a 7 rating/12 share. ABC was a distant second with a 4.4/7, followed closely by NBC's 4.7/8 and the 4.2/7 for FOX. The CW finished fifth with a 1.5/2.
In the 8 p.m. hour, NBC's "Mercy" won overall with a 4.8/8, but only a 1.8 in the key 18-49 demo. CBS' "The New Adventures of Christine" and "Gary Unmarried" nipped ABC's comedies with a 4.7/8 and 4.5/7 respectively. FOX's "So You Think You Can Dance" was fourth overall with a 4.0/7, but clearly won the hour in the key demo with a 2.5 The CW's "America's Next Top Model" finished fifth with a solid 1.5/7.
CBS moved into first overall at 9 p.m. with a dominating 8.5/13 for "Criminal Minds." The crime show even beat ABC's hot comedies with a 3.4 in the 18-34 demo. Instead, ABC's "Modern Family" (5.3/8) and "Cougar Town" (5.0/8) averaged a 3.2 in the 18-49 demo. That's down a bit from last week's 3.7. NBC's "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" also beat the comedies overall with a 5.4/9, but only a 2.6 in the key demo. FOX's "Glee" tied ABC's comedies with a 3.2 in the 18-49, building upon "So You Think" the hour before. The CW aired a "Melrose Place" encore and finished fifth.
"CSI: NY" kept CBS in first in the 10 p.m. hour with a 7.8/14. In a surprise, "The Jay Leno" show beat ABC's "Eastwick" with a 3.8/7 overall to the supernatural melodrama's 3.5/6. The show barely beat ol' Jay with a 1.7 to 1.6 in the 18-49 demo. Scary indeed.
