Really learning how to strum. Having such an awesome time playing & learning from Nomad:-)
Great lesson and really fun to learn. Thanks a lot!!
Love these chords Nomad, only gorgeous
Enter your comment here.
great lesson thanks
My strumming sucks. I can do nearly anything with my thumb but can't do it with a pick without chopping it to pieces.
The chord chart for the supplemental content shows Fmaj7 as x87x55 (this is also the way it is described in the video) but the tab shows x87555 (no muting of the G string). It doesn't seem to make a lot of tonal difference, but it caught me up for a bit.
Yes, either way is cool...sorry about that Jason
Too much fun. I can't stand it. Pinch you, you lovely thing.
ehh, hehe...(pilsbury dough boy sound fx) ;0)
I like your lesson vers much. Maybe you can describe the the cord progression of the song in the supplemental content. Also a description of the basic rhythm with up and down strokes and mutings would be interresting. Thanks Hans
supp content for this lesson should be up shortly. Sorry for any inconvenience!
thx for the supp, it was very important for that lesson
no problem. thanks for the lessons.
I see Quantegy is on Rdio

Mike H."I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!
Greg J."With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg
Bill"I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students."
I am commenting here to tell you and everyone at JamPlay that I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students. I truly enjoy learning to play the guitar on JamPlay.com. Yes, I said the words, ""enjoy learning."" It is by far the best deal for the money.

Eight hundred years prior to the start of Freelancer, bitter conflict divided all of mankind.
A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds on board a fighting chance, but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect.
What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computers to give them the best chance of survival.

Facing the Herd
After the Bisons conclude their homestand on Friday night, Buffalo travels to Lehigh Valley for a short 4-game, 5-day stint away from Coca-Cola Field. The Bisons return to host Toledo and Syracuse over another 8-game homestand.
Without looking to far ahead, here are a few notables about each of the next three clubs Buffalo is preparing to play.
POOPED PIGS: A 10:35 a.m. game Thursday probably won't feel good for the 'Pigs, who wound up playing in a 3:08 game Wednesday night. After ending a then franchise
record, 15-inning marathon Monday at midnight in Gwinnett, the Pigs boarded a bus for the Atlanta airport at 4 a.m. Tuesday only to play a franchise-record 16-inning game Tuesday night! During this time, the bullpen has a combined 21 IP in the last 3 G. Take out RHP Oscar Villarreal (2 IP, 4 ER), and the corps has allowed just 2 R in 19 IP.
SILENCING OF THE BATS?: Wednesday, the Pigs snapped a franchise-long, 24.0-inning scoreless draught on Dane Sardinha's 9th-inning, 2-run single. In the last 10 G,
LHV has averaged just 2.5 R/G (they averaged 4.9 R/G in the first 29 G prior), batted just .204 (74-362) — dropping from .268 (6th) as a team to .253 (a season-low 11th),
and batted just 12-73 (.164) with RISP* — dropping from .291 to .265 overall.
RETURN OF HONDO: Thursday, RHP John Ennis — who was originally on the DL on the Pigs 2010 Opening Day Roster — rejoined the team from Reading (Double-A),
where he was 0-0, 1.35 in 4 G (6.2 IP, 4 H, R, ER, 2 BB, 8 K). One of just two members of all three LHV Opening Day Rosters (Tracy), Ennis was shut down after just one
game in 2009 and underwent Tommy John Surgery. Ennis went 4-3, 3.67 in 40 G with Lehigh Valley in 2008 before having his contract sold to Japan.
OLDIES BUT GOODIES: In his IL career (7/7/09-pres.), former Marlin RHP Nate Bump (33) is now an impressive 11-2, 2.34 in 18 GS (119 IP, 31 ER)…… RHP Brandon
Duckworth (34) had his win blown on 5/17, but is 1-0, 1.89 in 7 G, 2 GS and averaging 11.8 SO/9. In addition, he's allowed just one extra-base hit in 2010 (68 AB)……
LHP Brian Mazone (33) has not allowed a R in his last 9.2 IP…… LHP Mike Zagurski (27) had not allowed an ER in his last 7 G (8 IP) and leads IL relievers in K/9 at
14.26 (28 K in 17.2 IP).
STRASBURG DOES IT AGAIN: Twenty-one year old right-hander Stephen Strasburg pitched 6 1/3 innings on Wednesday night to earn a win against Rochester. Strasburg allowed just three hits and struck out nine. He has now struck out 22 batters in 18 1/3 innings and opponents are batting just .068 against him. The eleventh largest crowd in Frontier Field history watched Strasburg lead Syracuse to a 5-1 victory.
MOVIN' ON UP (AND DOWN): The Nationals announced after Monday's game that lefty Chuck James and right-hander Andrew Kown, both starting pitchers, had been transferred to Double-A Harrisburg. They have been replaced by reliever Victor Garate and starter Jeff Mandel. He has started one game–April 29 at Toledo–and did not earn a decision. Mandel will start tonight at Rochester.
THREE, MAYBE FOUR: After losing three games in a row to Pawtucket at McCoy Stadium, the Chiefs have now won three games in a row. This puts Syracuse on the verge of their longest winning streak of the season. Prior to today, the Chiefs have won four games in a row just once from April 22-25.
ON A ROLL: After losing three in a row to drop to .500 at 18-18, the Mud Hens have won their last five games and stand at 23-18 – just 2.0 games back of Columbus in the
IL West. The five-game winning streak is the longest streak of the season for the Hens. The Mud Hens remain undefeated on Mondays and Tuesdays (6-0 each day). The rest of the week, Toledo has gone 11-18, including 1-4 on Wednesdays.
PITCHING DUEL: Monday's game between Toledo and Indianapolis featured just eight hits and three runs, lasting a brisk two hours and six minutes. Enrique Gonzalez out-dueled Brad Lincoln, throwing a complete game two-hit shutout, as the Hens won 3-0. It was the first Toledo complete game shutout since September, 2008 (Virgil Vasquez).
HEN EGGS: RHP Jay Sborz is third in the League with nine saves…… RHP Casey Fien has compiled a 0.90 ERA (20.0 IP / 2 ER) over his last 14 outings… RHP Robbie Weinhardt has not allowed a run over his last nine outings, tossing 14.0 scoreless innings…… LHP Daniel Schlereth has not allowed a run in his last eight outings, fanning 16 batters in 10.2 scoreless innings…,,, OF Ben Guez is hitting .407 (11-27) with two doubles, a home run and three RBI over his last nine games.

Of course, I can just write and read that info to and from file using streams. But I'm curious whether there are some more convenient methods to store such an info?

Rabbi Yaakov Litman-Avtalion
Translated by Shira Hannah Fischer
|Rabbi Yaakov Litman-Avtalion zl
Even if I live many more years I shall not forget the celebration of the Bikkurim [first fruits] ceremony in the year 5694 (1934). It was the first Bikkurim celebration in the schools in Poland. It started with a very impressive procession of hundreds of students, all carrying baskets of fruits decorated with flowers and flags. At the head of the procession were horse riders and following them were bicycle riders and the musical band. Behind them marched hundreds of young people from the youth groups in the towns nearby, every group carrying its flag. Masses joined them and marched to Goldberg Square, in one of the Kalisz suburbs.
The celebration took place on a spacious field. The ceremony included songs and dances. The income from the Bikkurim was designated for the Jewish National Fund (Keren Kayemet LeYisrael). Mr. Rosenthal, an eighty-year-old gentleman who had just returned from a visit in Eretz Yisrael, broke into tears of happiness, seeing such an authentic celebration even in the Diaspora. They said then, Anyone who did not see this joyful celebration has never seen a true Jewish celebration in the Diaspora, in all his life. [This quote paraphrases a Talmudic quote about the joy of the Sukkot celebration in Jerusalem].
The play Simchat Bet Hashoeva [rejoicing of the water libation ceremony, in the Temple of Jerusalem] that was prepared by the teachers and students and performed in the city theatre won a never-ending applause. The students proved that their level of knowledge of Hebrew was high. The artistic performance was praised by all.
In 5696 (1935-36), when the principal of the school went to Eretz Yisrael with his family, thousands of people accompanied him to the train station. The gentiles asked about the reason for this enthusiastic demonstration, and they were answered: This is the way we express our deep spiritual connection with the land of Israel!
[Pages 134-137]
Sara Butzker-Neumann
Translated by Yocheved Klausner
It was common practice in Kolo: when a Jewish boy reached the age of six, he was sent to the Cheder [religious school for young children], where he generally learned until he became Bar Mitzvah, at age thirteen. For a girl it was different: the rule was whatever was possible that is, she was sent to learn at any place that was available. The biggest problem was tuition. Families blessed with children had to consider seriously how to save on expenses: tuition for three or four children was no small matter.
With the revival of Poland, the authorities established several elementary schools in town, where Polish and Jewish children studied together, without restrictions or discrimination. The families that could not afford to send the girls to the special School for Girls of the Chernozhil family found these government schools a great help. In the discussions among parents the excuse was often heard: in both schools Jewish subjects were not taught neither Hebrew nor Yiddish!
I remember well the Polish elementary school, where I studied from the age of seven. It was located in a small building near the Warsaw Bridge, not far from the German Evangelical Temple.
The school was in poor condition. Compulsory education was a law on paper only. The parents, Jewish or Gentile, who fulfilled the obligation to give their children a proper education were few. No wonder, then, that the number of pupils was very small: the Jews did not often send their girls to school, especially schools that belonged to the Goyim. The poles had schools in their own Polish neighborhoods.
I remember a conversation between my parents: After she finishes school we shall call the melamed [teacher of Jewish studies] and he will teach her a little to read the prayer book [sidur] and to write a Jewish letter. This was the spiritual heritage of a Jewish girl.
I had never imagined, at the time, what was awaiting me in that school, where I felt like a prisoner among goyim. Only two Jewish girls were in the first grade, and most of the teachers were Polish Christians.
Since the number of pupils was small, two or three grades occupied the same classroom. One teacher would be in charge, guiding the pupils like the conductor of an orchestra. While two grades were busy practicing writing, drawing etc., the other grade would listen to the teacher's lesson.
I was happy to have the opportunity to learn, but my happiness was marred by the frequent anti-Semitic remarks by my teacher, Ms. Kraschewska. The Jewish girls felt humiliated at every step. We suffered from the Polish pupils, who provoked us and we had no means of retaliation. We expected the teacher to protect us, but no help came, in spite of the poem we would always recite, with the beautiful line The same sun is shining on all the inhabitants of the earth I think by the poet Stanislav Yachowitz. Every day and every hour we felt that we are in exile.
The Jewish children made every effort to study diligently hoping to earn sympathy. Indeed we were among the best students.
The afternoon hours, after school, were really boring. Our parents were busy with the worries of making a living, and our older sisters were busy doing their homework.
Teacher Kraschewska had a very interesting method in education: when she wanted to show her Polish pupils what discipline meant, she would call on a Jewish girl to serve as her guinea pig, would call out show your hand! and her wooden ruler would hit the fingers with a hard blow. Tears and protest produced another blow.
One day I came home sad and agitated. Al my desire to study was gone. I must admit that Ms. Kraschewska was not a bad teacher she had opened my eyes to see things that I never knew existed, but how can I experience joy in learning when it is accompanied by suffering and humiliation? I did not dare ask my parents to transfer me to another school, I was aware of their financial situation they had to pay tuition for my older brother and sister.
Finally I managed to overcome my anger and frustration and I told my parents the entire story. They listened silently and I was hopeful. But after long moments passed, their verdict was:
We all are in exile [Galut] and the Jewish children must bear their share of suffering! From this day on you will not annoy your teacher and you will make yourself invisible, you will not say a word unless you are asked!
|The Government [public] Elementary School Pawshechne
This did not seem very fair to me but I had no choice. I turned into a quiet mouse, wary of any unusual sound. Even when the teacher addressed a question to the entire class and I knew the answer, I did not open my mouth, for fear that the other pupils might get angry.
I avoided eating onion or garlic, because the children would laugh at the Jews who smell of garlic. I tried to ignore the cruelty of my neighbors in the classroom.
The situation became a little easier when we relocated to another building, not far from the railroad. There were 7 classrooms and the atmosphere was calmer. There were Jewish boys in the school as well, and sometimes they protected us, the girls. A cold war was going on between the Polish and the Jewish boys and threats were heard every day. Yet we tried to appease them: we helped them in their studies, we let them copy the answers from our notebooks and so on but to no avail.
At first we were allowed to stay home on Saturdays. Later we were exempt only from writing on the Sabbath but we had to go to school. We were also allowed to be absent from the Catholic Religion class and we had heated discussions among us how to use this free time in the best way. For several months we had during these hours a Jewish teacher, Mr. Goldberg, who taught us Jewish history, but he soon left.
The principal of the school, who was a kind man, tried to obtain from the Jewish community a scholarship for the talented Jewish students, which would enable them to continue their studies at the Teachers College and join the educational force. He even organized in his home a preparatory program for a small fee, but all plans and hopes were called off and abandoned.
Graduation from the elementary school meant only more confusion for the girls. What now? was the frequent question. We could learn a trade, but we would be admitted only to sewing, embroidery and millinery courses. Household help was not appealing we did not see a future in cooking and cleaning house.
Public and municipal institutions did not admit Jews. Only one in a thousand women could obtain a job at the Jewish institution The Merchants' Bank.
When we finished the seventh grade we were unoccupied, idle. We would spend mornings in our homes helping out with housework and in the afternoon we would go for a walk on the famous Juzjinski walkway. We would also spend time reading novels.
However, the Zionist movement and the economic condition soon changed the attitude and outlook of the adolescent girls. A new way was in sight: immigrate to any country that would be ready to accept you, first of all to Eretz Yisrael, even if it would mean to break the blockade and endanger our own lives.
Announcement [Yiddish]
Dear friend! These days, when the struggle for the revival of the Jewish culture and tradition is continuing in the entire Jewish world, we cannot remain indifferent here.
Moreover, lately we can feel intensely the weakening of the Jewish cultural ties and the increasing assimilation, especially among the younger generation.
We call, therefore, on the Jewish public to join the struggle and help in the effort to restore and re-establish the Jewish and general cultural endeavors.
We invite you to the first meeting that will take place in the hall of the Jewish Library, on Saturday 6 August at 3 p.m.
On the agenda: 1. Our cultural work; 2. Report by Naftali Weinig: Roads and Side-Roads of Modern literature.

The teachers in Koło, the first well from which our generation had studied the Torah and drank knowledge, let us not forget them! They have opened the windows for the majority of the young people to the knowledge of Yiddish and some of them have planted their good ways in the hearts of students.
That the Cheder was simple and poor was not the fault of the teachers. Their income was meager and the tuition was not paid on time. The atmosphere around them was not warm and the only pleasure in their lives was the pleasure in their studies they studied together with the Cheder boys.
Today we cannot be **offended** by any of their ways the parents wanted it this way. They were against any innovation, they were afraid of the smallest wind (change), fearing that it would tear the children away from the Torah.
The teachers in the Cheders were divided into ***step***. The transfer from one teacher to the other was considered advancing a grade.
The first grade, the very beginnning was the most challenging for the teachers.
The ones mentioned in the list to follow, are not, G-d forbid, in order to diminish the honor of certain teachers but ways by which to remember them. The nickname was sometimes as popular as the name.
The teachers who taught the basics:
Yadke studied with boys and girls of the fourth and fifth grades to read in the Siddur. Many girls had also learnt from him how to write a letter in Yiddish.
Rac Shmuel Itzik Rotbard (Voteria Malamed) - Alef Bet and to read
Anshel Fadamski (Anshell Bik) - Alef Bet, reading and Siddur and the beginning of Chumash.
Rav Feivish Ber (Fairie the Hunchback) to read in the Sidur and the beginning of Chumash.
The teachers who taught Rashi and the Chumash
Rav Avraham Yehuda Rotbart, Rav Yisroel Goldman (Warshaver teacher), Hanoch (the deaf Hanoch), Efraim (Efraim Zummerschvantz), Yaakov Zalman Maladek (taught by singing.)
Chumash, Rashi and Gemorra
Rav. Hirsh-Leib; Kasriel Saladovsky (his specialty Tanach and grammar), Rav Yaakov Akiva Hirschbein his speciality Mishna and Gemorra, Rav. Tuvia Wilferd, Shimon Wolf Arker *** *** Ozer Zarndorf Cheder Metukan (the repaired room) Goldberg Cheder Metukan (repaired room) he taught Hebrew in Hebrew; Sheika.
Gemorra and Biblical excerpts
Rav Meir Zaltzman (look at the list of Yehoshua Manoch); Rav Yisroel Weiss, Efraim Shlumper; R. Yaakov Aaron Engel-Sofer; Nata Himel HaCohen.
The latter have made a name for themselves as scholars, prepared students for their Bar Mitzvah, taught them to give speeches and to become immersed in their studies.
Some of them have also studied with the owners of the houses in the evening or on Saturday afternoon.
[Page 145]
H. Hirschbein
The Purim plays Ahashverosh, The sale of Joseph and similar plays have been staged in our town by the Yeshiva boys and the house owners. The revenue went to different charitable organizations.
The start of the drama circle and the amateur plays is connected with the anme Haim Ber Babiatzky. That was in the first years of the 20th Century. Babiatzky had organized a group of theater lovers and started an amateur circle, which staged mainly historical operettas (musicals.) like Bar Kochba, David in the Desert, The Pillage of Jerusalem, etc.
Every performance was at that time a holiday in the shtetl. Nobody refused to support and help with whatever they could. The props were brought from all parts of the town. A velvet served as a king's toga. An ottoman covered in gold paper the throne. It is apparent that the suppliers of those items had a free admission to the play.
The second stage of the drama circles started with the establishment of two drama circles. The first one was called The Aristocrats and the second The Democrats. In the first one the main actors were Levkovsky, Reslech, Hela Cohen and the director Leib Barshastovsky; the main actors for the second were Yaakov Zaid (with the wig), Michael Shimshon Brookshtein, Malka Levkovitch and Shmuel Leib First. The director David Itzik Levkovitch.
Both drama circles were preparing as it sometimes happens with big theaters in town, the tragedy Medea both the same play. The inhabitants of the town had then separated into two groups the first group supported the first circle and the second the second. The people had really quarreled as to who would perform the piece better. In the end it happened that for both performances both halls were full, the execution wonderful. As it was said, in Koło everybody loves the theater and the cantorial music.
The director David Itzik Levkovitch (Itzik Matis) deserves to be praised. David Itzik was an ordinary man. His main income was (made) in going to different fairs and selling clothes. In spite of his difficult way of earning a living he did not miss rehearsals. In the summer heat, in the fall rains, in the winter frost, he appeared punctually among the ***first***. Tired from the fair, concerned with the problems such as where the money would come from to pay the outstanding bills nothing could stop him.
During the rehearsals he becames one with his eye and ear; he listens with all his senses to each sentence spoken by the amateurs, he watches every gesture and improves it, gives directions with enthusiasm and just good cheer he performs his director's work.
This same David Itzik can be found on a Saturday afternoon in the school where he listens to every workd of Rav Haim-Iosef Nesek or Rav Berish Saladovsky and others who simply study with everybody Haggadah and The Life of Man.
Once I was present at the final rehearsal, the evening before the performance of Medea. His young daughter Malka speaks a part of a phrase and she does not pronounce the sentence as suggested. It seems to him that she did not say it with enough heart. David Itzik jumps up top her and slaps her on her face because of his nervous state. ***So he behaves himself because of the theater.***
A great push was given to the drama circle by professional actors, which had led it for some time. A wonderful actor from the Vilna troup, Yaakov Weislitz, had spent a long period of time in Koło and attracted the best people to the drama circle and taught them. His first performance was The Village Boy. In the play the following participated: Yehuda and Sarah Barkovsky, Frankovsky, Michael Shimshon Brookstein, Nitshinsky, Hanoch Hirshbein, the Reichenstein sisters, Sahatchovsky, Rauff and others. The impression was tremendous. The play was performed ten times and it was also performed in the surrounding villages. Weislitz had developed among the amateurs love for the arts and a better theater.
The actor Aizikovitch who came from America to visit his relatives had stayed for along time in Koło and under his tutelage the following (plays) were staged; Othello, Shylock, The Black Hand. and others. The biggest success was The Black Hand, it was peformed in the surrounding villages Dabie, Sompolno, Izshvitze, Klodowa etc.
Stable drama circles have established themselves with the Poalei Zion (leftists) and the Bund. The former was themore intense and that was thanks to the entrepreneurial spirit of the leader Yehuda Barkovsky. A short time after its first showing in the Warsaw Yiddish Theater the play was performed in our town. In this respect nobody could be compared to him. Among the plays which have impressed the audience with its freshness were The Dybbuk, For God's Sanctity, The Dobos,, The Seven Hanged Men, etc. The drama circle of the Bund under the tutelage of H. Hirschbein had perfored Two Hundred Thousand, The Robbers, Uriel Akosta, (a short report was given before the play) and also historical operettas (musicals.)
From time to time the drama circles would unite and with the combined efforts would undertake a gikudat celebration. From among the combined performances (were) Shabbatai Zvi, The Hero in Chains, and others.
An effort was made by the Jews to establish a private drama circle which had only financial aims. The initiators of this business were D.A. Levkovitch, Yaakov Zeid, the sisters Reichenshtein and Shmuel Leib First. Because they did not have a good base, this drama circle did not last very long. They staged historical operettas and the dramas by Yaakov Gordin. The audience which had already experienced the better theater did not show a much of an interest in the new drama circle.
From among the wandering starts the half-amateurs and half-professional, the Krook couple deserve a special mention. They stayed in town for an extended period of time and the beginning was with lots of ***luster***. They staged light pieces which attract the public such as Zipke Fire, Kantshe in America and moving melodramas. The theater audiences were looking for something else and (because) they could not change the repertoire and as a result they performed in half empty halls.
The best theater troupe in the country came to perform in Koło in Yiddish and Polish. The town breathed with its love for the theater. And the performances of A.S. Marevsky, Zigmund Turkav, Yanosh Turkav, Ida Kaminska stirred a great interest. On the day of the performance it was already impossible to buy a ticket because they had already previously been soldout. The same (occurred) on the recital evening of Rachel Holtzer and other stars.
The young people loved the theater. When they came together it lead to many conversations. They would discuss and recall the scenes from the plays. A master of that was Nite Benjamin (Natke Spivak.) He let his voice ring in the middle of the street so people had gathered together to admire it was black (crowded) with people, people were really in awe of his singing.
When ***your people Shar and Itzig*** would come together on a Saturday afternoon around a beer mug they entertained themselves by singing cantorial pieces; The King' The K'dusha, The Preparation for Shabbath, etc. The most prominent specialists were: Mendel Stern (Mendel Sines), Haim Kamielnik (Haim Charnes), Gabriel Markovitch (Kakashke), Shmuel Madalinsky (Shumuel the Devil) and others.
The sincere Jews, the simple people, are no more. They were tragically killed by the Nazis.

A psychiatric report has declared Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik sane, making it more likely that the man who has confessed to twin terror attacks last summer in Norway's worst peacetime atrocity may serve prison time.
The 310-page report counters the first forensic report from November that controversially deemed Mr. Breivik paranoid schizophrenic, and therefore criminally not punishable for a car bomb in front of Oslo government buildings and a shooting rampage at a Labor party youth summer camp at the nearby island of Utøya. The two attacks killed 77 people altogether.
Psychiatrists Agnar Aspaas and Terje Tørrisen concluded in the second report that Breivik was "not psychotic, unaware or severely handicapped at the time of the acts," nor was he psychotic during examinations. However, there was a "high risk of repetition of violence."
"The defendant does not have a serious mental illness involving significantly weakened capacity for realistic evaluation of his relations with the outside world," the Oslo District Court said in a press statement summarizing the confidential report.
The report changes the whole momentum of the trial. The judges, who have the final say in determining Breivik's sanity, now have the option of questioning the first report and concluding that he is sane. They will base their decision on both reports, as well as the evidence during the 10-week trial, set to start next week.
It also presents the possibility that prosecutors will seek a 21-year prison sentence for terror and murder acts for Breivik, instead of the current plan to seek having him committed to a mental institution. Although both the prosecutor and defense will be arguing for Breivik to be tried as sane, Breivik has not accepted criminal responsibility for the attacks.
"It is clear that this is an important premise for the case," said Svein Holden, Oslo public prosecutor, after receiving the thick copies of the second psychiatric report earlier today.
Experts suspected that the new set of psychiatrists would come to a different conclusion than the first set, given that they observed him night-and-day for three weeks in jail. The initial conclusion, which deemed Breivik paranoid schizophrenic, was quite controversial. Many pundits questioned how someone who had meticulously planned an attack over so many years could have been deemed psychotic.
The defense plans to argue Breivik is sane. He himself claims he is sane and condemned the first psychiatric report for lies and errors in a 38-page letter to select Norwegian media last week. He said he knew what was right and wrong, but that he "acted instinctively," and that being declared insane was a "fate worse then death."
Breivik was "satisfied" with today's report and said it was "as expected," according to Geir Lippestad, Breivik's defense attorney, after meeting with his client today in prison. Lippestad added his client felt it was important to be deemed sane so that his ideology would "stand stronger." "Now we have an important argument for Breivik to be recognized as sane," he said during a press conference outside Ila prison. "It would have been more difficult if the report concluded otherwise."
Breivik bent on proving his sanity
Breivik's defense team plans to call in more than 30 witnesses to prove his sanity, primarily through medical experts. It also plans to call in academic experts on extremists, as well as right-wing and Islamic extremists such as Mullah Krekar, the founder of terrorist organisation Ansar al Islam. The point is to prove that others who are not insane share Breivik's extreme ideological thinking about the war between Islam and Christianity.
"The whole case boils down to the reality orientation that the accused has," Mr. Lippestad recently told the members of the Norwegian Foreign Press Association. "It's obvious he has a reality orientation that is especially unusual. There is no doubt about that. But is there nonetheless a little degree of reality in it? That is the question."
Breivik has defended his acts that day as a "preventive attack on traitors" because the Labor-led coalition government was promoting the "Islamic colonization" of Norway. In his political manifesto, released online shortly before the killing spree, he describes himself as a Knight Templar in a crusade against the Islamic takeover of Europe.
Breivik is scheduled to give his opening testimony in the first five days of the trial, which will begin April 16. His defense team will present its evidence in June, followed by testimony from the forensic psychiatrics. The judges' decision on Breivik's sanity is expected sometime in July.
"If sane, the guilt is clear," says Kristian Andenæes, a criminal law professor at the University of Oslo. "[The defense] then will only argue that there are some moments that are to his advantage. These arguments will not have any effect on the outcome of the trial."
"The self-defense argument will be regarded as nonsense," he added.

I believe it is highly indicative of the level of corruption in our government when bills such as this piece of crap are passed with virtually every congressman/woman voting to pass it. This is another of those bills for which their was no need. Our government, now with the complicity and collusion of our local law enforcement domestic military units, routinely violates our rights and commit acts of aggression and violence against the public, without penalty or punishment.
In addition to making it illegal (not unlawful) to supposedly trespass the hallowed grounds of the White House lawn, it also means protesting such events such as the 2012 G8 and NATO summits could be a federal offense.
National Special Security Events
In what has clearly morphed into a full frontal assault on the First Amendment and the right to assemble, National Special Security Events (NSSA's)created under Clinton, are now the signature for squashing first amendment rights. Anything can be deemed an NSSA. Funerals, weddings, visits from the current dictators of foreign countries that we haven't decided to blow off the global map yet. This crap even applies to Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum because they have secret service protection (although I have no idea why we should be footing the bill for this). I have no idea why they even need such protection when there are only a handful of people at their big fancy public meetings which is why the cameras are kept close in. That way you won't know there are only ten people there instead of the huge crowds you are led to believe are in attendance.
Of special interest to me in this abomination was this"
`(4) knowingly engages in any act of physical violence against any person or property in any restricted building or grounds;
Does this mean that our militarized police will now be arrested for causing a disturbance or committing violence against those assembled? What I find interesting to note is that the only people who show up at rally's, protests and other assembled events prepared for committing violence is [law enforcement]. Everyone else might be carrying signs, but police show up looking like they are going into combat in Iraq and they act the same way. Virtually every instance of chaos in public gatherings is initiated by law enforcement.
But you don't have to be violent or disruptive……you just have to be in close proximity to whomever this really special person that requires US taxpayers for some reason, to have to pay for the Secret Service protection.
Now get this part:
"In the text of the act, the law is allowed to be used against anyone who knowingly enters or remains in a restricted building or grounds without lawful authority to do so, but those grounds are considered any area where someone — rather it's President Obama, Senator Santorum or Governor Romney — will be temporarily visiting, whether or not the public is even made aware. Entering such a facility is thus outlawed, as is disrupting the orderly conduct of "official functions," engaging in disorderly conduct "within such proximity to" the event or acting violent to anyone, anywhere near the premises. Under that verbiage, that means a peaceful protest outside a candidate's concession speech would be a federal offense, but those occurrences covered as special event of national significance don't just stop there, either. And neither does the list of covered persons that receive protection."
This means that even if you didn't know one of these really important and special people were anywhere around, or, if one was just bussed in to facilitate the attack by law enforcement, you could be committing a federal offense. What if none of them were there? What if they just say they were? And, if no announcement is made and the NSSA designation isn't made public how are you supposed to know? Sounds like a big giant trap to me and one being set to curb the rising public dissatisfaction with the criminal nature of our government.
This is another of those bills that we all know will be twisted and contorted to mean whatever they need it to mean at the moment. And god knows as corrupt as our court system is right up through SCOTUS, what comes out the other end will bear little resemblance to these few words in this bill and amendment.
No one should be given a status above the law and no one should be provided special status that is not applied across the board to all of us. Since when are government officials, political candidates or other individuals so damn special that we cannot be in close proximity to them? And who is going to define "close proximity"?

The $338 million Powerball jackpot winner steps forward to claim his prize. NBC News' Chris Clackum reports.
Pedro Quezada, a 44-year-old father of five, has 338 million reasons to smile.
The New Jersey convenience store owner beamed as state lottery officials declared him the winner of the fourth-largest jackpot in Powerball history at a press conference on Tuesday afternoon and presented him with a monster yellow check.
"I felt pure joy," Quezada said through a translator on Tuesday.
He's already shut down the store he used to have to wake up at 5 a.m. to open, he said.
A share of his sudden windfall will go toward helping his family, Quezada said.
"My family is a very humble family and we're going to help each other out," he said.
"I'm going to help a lot of people, whatever they need," he told the New York Daily News earlier.
Excitement grew around Quezada's self-proclaimed win after lottery officials confirmed on Monday that the winning ticket in the $338 million Powerball jackpot was sold at the liquor store in Passaic.
The winners in Saturday night's drawing were: 17, 29, 31, 52, 53, and the Powerball number, 31.
On Monday, the New Jersey man ran into Eagle Liquors to get his Powerball ticket scanned by store owner Sammy Sethi.
Pedro Quedaza, an immigrant who came to New Jersey 26 years ago, accepted his $338 million Powerball jackpot Tuesday, saying he'll use the money to care for his family. NBC's Brian Williams reports.
Quezada, who is originally from the Dominican Republic and has been in the United States for 26 years, saw the message come up that people in 42 states were hoping for: "Jackpot!"
The first thing he did was call his wife with the good news.
"I had no words," she said of hearing her husband had won. "My heart wanted to come out of my chest. I had no words."
Reporters and photographers packed into Eagle Liquors on Monday after hearing that Quezada was there, even before lottery officials had confirmed the newly minted millionaire, who used to play the lottery two or three times a week.
His life will change "but it will not change my heart," Quezada said of his new fortune
Quezada lives with his wife and children in an apartment facing a highway. And his neighbors weren't waiting on state authorities to confirm the news before they started congratulating Quezada.
"This is super for all of us on this block," neighbor Eladia Vazquez told NBC New York. "They deserve it because they are hardworking people."

7F1 - Delta and the Bannermen 1
After a couple tenuous steps into the new era, Delta and the Bannermen finally starts to feel like the new production team, and its Doctor, is finding its feet. The overt goofiness of the previous stories is gone, replaced with a more harmless sense of whimsy and weirdness. The idea of a bus full of giant alien starfish disguised as tourists from the 1950s just seems to work in this new format. Everyone just seems to be having fun here, both onscreen and off.
Well, not everyone, actually. The jovial atmosphere of 1950s Wales is offset by the grim, quarry bound shootout in the episode's opening minutes, in which we're introduced to about the only two serious (and dull) characters in the whole story - Gavrok and the eponymous Delta. But these characters are necessary to keep the story from flying off into pantomime, something the episode succeeds in avoiding, despite the efforts of Ken Dodd.
I have no problem with Ken Dodd. If I won a contest at some dodgy, isolated intergalactic spaceport, I would hope to be greeted by a showman of his sort as opposed to an emotionless automaton spitting out a congratulatory message on ticker tape. Dodd, and other outlandish characters like his toll keeper, also have the add on effect of allowing Sylvester McCoy to play the straight man, and it's during moments like these that develop his character so much more than when he's clowning around.
Speaking of that toll gate sequence, it actual signals a massive change in the way that Doctor Who will be produced in the future. Like all of Delta and the Bannermen (apart from, one assumes, the brief sequences in the Bannermen spaceships), the scene was shot on location. But unlike almost all other location shoots in the show's history up to this point, a standard brick building is used, with the aid of set dressing and night photography, to represent a space port. When Doctor Who returned to TV in 2005, using existing building interiors and exteriors to stand in for otherworldly settings was commonplace. Here's to the future, indeed...

7E4 - Paradise Towers 4
I am an insufferable sap sometimes. There is a commercial for a Canadian hardware/sporting goods store that has, on seven consecutive occasions, succeeded in causing me to weep openly at how touching it was (and, no, I cannot describe said commercial to you here lest I break into tears again, and I'm on my honour to save such waterworks for the eighth time I view this commercial). And while the classic run of Doctor Who has seldom caused me to reach for the facial tissues, the memorial for Pex at the end of Part Four of Paradise Towers always seems to catch me off guard.
Perhaps it's because so much weight is given to Pex's death, which, at around this time in Doctor Who, is fairly common thing. Beyus sacrifices himself in Time and the Rani and his wife, Faroon, is thoroughly unmoved, for instance. But because Pex's death comes after four episodes of grim pantomime, slightly overshadowed by one of the, shall we say, more noticeable Keff McCulloch scores in Doctor Who, it almost seems like we've just seen a group of children playing, and then someone lost an eye. The notion that one man's death is powerful enough to draw everyone together at the end of the story is rather moving, even if the future of Paradise Towers is dicey. What will happen to the Towers at the end of this story? Will they elect a condo board? Organize block parties? Clean?
Pex's death is the last of many jarring shifts in tone that occur in Paradise Towers. Just like it can't decide what it wants to be - comedy, tragedy, satire, horror - to this day, I can't decide what to think of it. Its heart is in the right place, and in some ways, this story seems like a dress rehearsal for the possibly more successful The Happiness Patrol a year later (the fact that several people I've spoken to over the years often can't tell these two stories apart is not lost on me). I will say this about Paradise Towers, though: I sometimes never don't want to not watch it. It's that entertaining.

Modest Mouse has been releasing music since the early '90s, in addition many of the band members have chosen to contribute to side projects with other bands or on their own. This section is an attempt at being one of the most comprehensive and complete listings of all known Modest Mouse, Ugly Casanova, and related releases that you will find on the internet.
Releases are divided into appropriate "Types." Alternatively a complete text based discography can be viewed under the type "All Releases." Side projects are limited to those from Isaac, Jeremiah and Eric. As much as we would love to add the others, due to Modest Mouse's revolving door policy, we have to stick to the core members. It would make no sense to add the hundreds of things Johnny Marr has worked on in his long career for example, just for his two year tenure in the band.

iPhone Killer App Is Letting Users Choose SoftwareBy Eric Auchard, Reuters Print
Whether it's faster Web speeds, security for business users or using the phone's direction-finding capability to let it act as a game controller or location-aware device, it's software, not hardware, that should define the iPhone from here out.
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - The first iPhones won praise for their sleek design and elegant touchscreen, but Apple's new computer phones, arriving this week, will use the power of software to make the device like no phone ever seen.
Whether it's faster Web speeds, security for business users or using the phone's direction-finding capability to let it act as a game controller or location-aware device, it's software, not hardware, that should define the iPhone from here out.
"The emphasis on software shifts the debate from how cool a device it is to what it can do for you," says Tim Bajarin, an analyst with industry research firm Creative Strategies of San Jose, California, and a veteran Apple-watcher.
"It's basically redefining what a phone is," said Raven Zachary, open source software analyst for industry research firm The 451 Group and founder of iPhone Dev Camp, a conference for independent developers of software for iPhones.
Get over how it looks. It's the power of the computer inside, combined with supporting technologies that let it perform many powerful tasks no phone has managed before.
IPhone gaming features are a good example. A built-in accelerometer lets the device know when it's being tilted or swung, allowing it to act like a Nintendo Wii game controller, not just an input device where the user punches buttons in four directions to control game movements.
Similarly, the iPhone's Global Positioning System (GPS) chip allows software to go far beyond obvious functions like maps. Web search or photo-sharing sites can now assume a user's location and adjust what they see to their local surroundings.
San Francisco start-up Stitcher (http://stitcher.com/) introduced software in February that detects what streaming audio news iPhone users like and lets them "stitch" audio programs into personalized radio stations.
With GPS, Stitcher can deliver local news, weather or sports, co-founder Mike Ghaffary said, calling it "YouTube for audio" -- for when users are driving or unable to watch video.
The iPhone 3G also works on faster networks, so software runs twice as fast as the first-round devices. This makes it more effective at running complex software with functions that trip up phones on slower networks, forcing users to hop on standard computers to get any real work done beyond replying to e-mail or quickly scanning the most vital work documents.

Earth : Europe : Iberia : Portugal : Madeira
Madeira [6] is a sub-tropical archipelago located in the Atlantic Ocean and an autonomous region of Portugal. The archipelago is made up of two populated islands, Madeira and Porto Santo, and two groups of unpopulated islands called the Desertas and Selvagens Islands. It is part of the European Union ultra-peripheral area.
Known worldwide as the Islands of eternal Spring, Madeira, "Ilha Jardim" ("Garden Island") or Pearl of the Atlantic, it has a mild climate throughout the entire year.
Madeira island is 310 miles from the African coast and 620 miles from the European continent, only 1h 30mn flight from mainland Portugal and about 3h from all the main countries in Europe.
Other destinations
Madeira Islands are just a short trip from Europe (more or less 4 hours from UK), to a destination where you can combine holidays by the sea, in the mountains or in the city. Discovered early in the 15th century by the Portuguese navigators João Gonçalves Zarco, Tristão Vaz Teixeira and Bartolomeu Perestrelo, Madeira is an autonomous region of Portugal.
Nowadays Madeira is a popular destination for tourists of all ages. Its constant mild climate (temperatures between 20 and 27°C) keeps the spring on Madeira all year round. The levadas, an ingenious system of stone- and concrete-lined watercourses distributing water from the rainy north to the dry south, help flowers and crops flourish all year. That's why this island is called the Garden in the Atlantic. The maintenance pathways for these water canals provide wonderful level trails for hiking in the mountains (up to 1861m) and through the tremendous landscape.
Get in
By plane
There is ferry service between the two islands. The following airline companies fly regularly to Madeira International Airport: TAP Portugal, Portugália, SATA, British Airways, Norwegian Airlines, Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Air France, easyJet, Finnair, First Choice Airways, Thomson, LTU, Thomas Cook, Condor, SAS, Sterling, Transavia, My Travel, Binter Canarias and Jet2.com (from May 2010).
If you go to/from the airport by (rental) car, ask for directions to the parking area you need; there are 7, and they are badly signposted. Note that some smaller rental companies operate from sites near but not at the airport, and provide transport between terminal and depot.
By boat
Get around
Beware - timetables are very confusing as they do not include clear route details.
There are six bus companies:
Renting a car is a great way to see the island. All European rules of the road apply in Madeira. Roads outside of Funchal can be windy and steep and petrol stations rare. Renting via the Internet is usually cheaper than walking-in.
English is as common as in mainland Portugal, although people will always appreciate it if you try and learn a few words of Portuguese. Note that the Portuguese spoken in Madeira tends to be heavily locally accented.
The clear waters and marine life of Madeira, known for its numerous nature reserves and marine areas, offer countless fascinating and electrifying dive spots. The marine fauna of this region consists mainly of coastal species. Sandy and rocky bottoms host numerous species of marine creatures: groupers (Epinephelus guaza) and other serranids, salps, sea bream , mullet, scorpion fish (Scorpaena scrofa), moray eels, octopus, cuttlefish, barracuda, damsels are just some of the species that divers may commonly spot. Among the invertebrates, besides various species of anemones and starfish, we emphasize the presence of numerous bearded fireworms (Hermodice carunculata), known for their considerable size (up to 30cm) and for their painfully stinging bristles. Common are also several species of crabs; the most curious of them is definitely the arrow crab (Stenorhynchus seticornis).Large, typically pelagic organisms can also be occasionally encountered: tuna, cetaceans (i.e. the spotted dolphin and Risso's dolphin), sea turtles, manta rays and mobulas, and the famous but very rare monk seal (Monachus monachus). The best areas to dive in the island are Ponta de Sao Lourenco and the bay of Funchal.
Madeira is presently one the best locations in the E.U. for companies with operations in the single market and worldwide. With reduced direct and indirect taxation, adequate infrastructures, competitive operational costs, safety and quality of life, Madeira is positioned to provide the investor with a unique package of benefits, offering a wide range of solutions to enhance the efficiency and performance of various forms of investment.
Moreover, Madeira's preferential tax regime has not only been approved by Portugal, but also by the European Union as a valid form of State Aid for regional development, providing Madeira's IBC with credibility and transparency. To find out more about Madeira's special status in the E.U., please consult State Aid nº 222-A-02; State Aid nº 222-B-02 and the Commission's Decision 2003/294/CE.
For more information visit the official website of the International Business Centre of Madeira [20].
Madeira Wine is a fortified wine prized equally for drinking and cooking. There are four major types of Madeira: Malvasia (also known as Malmsey or Malvazia), Bual (or Boal), Verdelho, and Sercial, the latter two being drier.
"Aguardente" or Madeiran rhum is also another product of excelence. Try it on any local bar or restaurant, often proposed as a digestive.
"Poncha". This cocktail is probably the most consumed drink amongst locals who sip it around the island's bars in the evenings. It exists in a variety of flavours, the most common are "Regional", "Pescador" and "Maracujá" (passion fruit).
Stay safe
Emergency Service telephone number is 112 Some police in Funchal have red armbands, this signifies that they speak another language other than Portuguese, mainly English and German. Crime figures for Madeira are very low.

We've grown pretty familiar with daily heinous-crime reports in Philly of late. But every so often, along comes a story that shatters any desensitization. Wednesday offered one of those stories.
At a press conference, Philadelphia Police released a crisp, detailed video of an attempted abduction of a 10-year-old girl from the previous afternoon. She was walking home from a store in South Philadelphia with her 2-year-old brother when an unknown dirtbag trailed them, got out of his car — described as an "older model 4-door white vehicle" — and followed them on foot to pounce.
UPDATE: Police have a suspect in custody.
The suspect then put his hand over the girl's mouth and attempted to carry her away. The girl struggled with the male, and then fell. The male then fled in his vehicle east on Porter Street.
A brave, lucky girl, as the video clearly shows.
We bring this to you, readers, since the Philadelphia Police hasn't narrowed the vehicle description down very far. Here's what they said, in offering a $10,000 reward in the case:
Vehicle Description: Late 1990's-early 2000's white mid sized foreign 4 door possibly a Mitsubishi or Nissan a black scuff mark on driver's side rear bumper and dent on left front fender wheel well.
Let's see what we can do to help pinpoint the exact make, model and year before this guy tries to kidnap another child.
I'm sitting less than a block away from Philadelphia Police headquarters; if we figure something out, I can deliver Jalopnik readers' findings by hand.
If you're in Philly and see this suspect do not approach him, contact 911 immediately. To submit a tip via telephone, dial 215.686.TIPS (8477) or text a tip to PPD TIP or 773847.
