Prepared Guitar
Since the 1940's and John Cage, Prepared Piano has become the most common means by which to expand the sound of this classic instrument.
With Harmonik Mutes™ & SpiderCapo together, we can prepare our guitar in any number of ways to expand its' sound palette. I call this Prepared Guitar.
The picture is an example . The 6th & 5th strings are capoed at the 8th fret.
The 3rd & 4th are not changed. The 2nd & 1st are muted at the 7th fret natural harmonic.
The plucked strings will make the sounds, from 6th to 1st string:
C, F, D, G, F# Up 1 Octave, B Up 1 Octave.
The palette is expanded by:
-Playing in front OR behind the "harmoniked" 1st & 2nd strings.
-Flip the FINGERS of the 6th & 5th strings.
For me, this preparation opens many new sound paths.
Try your own! You can always capo 1 fret above ANY natural harmonic, as I have done here at the 7th fret harmonic.
Kudos to Martin Blanes for first discovering this technique. Enjoy!

Chemicals management
The term "dioxins" is used to describe a group of toxic persistent organic chemicals that remain in the environment for a long time. These compounds can accumulate in the body fat of animals and humans and have a tendency to remain unchanged for prolonged intervals, giving rise to concern for adverse effects in humans.
The Department of the Environment and Heritage published the first Australian inventory of dioxin emissions to air in 1998 (Sources of Dioxins and Furans in Australia: Air Emissions). As there were few Australian data on dioxins, the preparation of this inventory relied heavily on overseas data, using estimation methodology. The limited monitoring data available indicated that environmental concentrations are generally low, but there is insufficient information to assess the impact of dioxins in Australia.
At its meeting in December 2000, the Australian and New Zealand Environment and Conservation Council (ANZECC ) requested the development of a discussion paper for use in consultation with stakeholders. In April 2001, public meetings were held in several cities across Australia to seek public input into the development of a possible national dioxins program. Following on from these consultations, a proposal for a national dioxins program was tabled at the meeting of ANZECC in June 2001. At this meeting, Council noted that the Australian Government would fund a National Dioxins Program (NDP) with $5 million over four years and that this program would generate data over the following two years which can be used to determine whether a regulatory approach would be required to manage dioxins.
This document sets out the priorities for the program. It will be revised and updated during the program as work progresses.
|What are Dioxins?
"Dioxins" refers to the polychlorinated dibenzodioxins (PCDDs), a group of persistent chlorinated chemical compounds, which have certain similar chemical structures and properties, and have similar biological characteristics including toxicity. Sometimes the term "dioxin" is also used to refer to the most well studied and most toxic PCDD, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD).
For the purposes of the National Dioxins Program, "dioxins" is used in the broader sense and is also taken to include the closely related polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs or furans) and co-planar polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) (co-planar PCBs are those PCBs that can assume a flat configuration, making them structurally similar to PCDDs and PCDFs). Several hundred of these closely related PCDD, PCDF and PCB compounds exist, of which 29 are considered to have significant toxicity and are the main focus of the NDP.
Dioxins serve no useful purpose and are not intentionally produced, but rather are unintended by-products released in small quantities from some human activities (combustion processes of any type, including power generation, metal works and waste incineration, as well as certain types of chemical manufacture) and some natural activities such as bushfires and volcanic activity. They occur in trace amounts as contaminants in air, water and soil throughout the world.
The 2001-02 Federal Budget provided $5 million for the program over four years from July 2001 to June 2005.
The NDP objectives are to:
The key actions of the NDP will be implemented over three phases as shown in Figure 1:
Phase One - gather as much data as possible about levels of dioxins in Australia;
Phase Two - assess the impact of dioxins on human health and the environment; and
Phase Three - in light of these assessed impacts, to reduce and where feasible, eliminate releases of dioxins in Australia.
If Australia ratifies the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, the NDP will contribute to meeting our obligations in relation to dioxins even though the program has arisen from domestic concerns and will proceed to recommendations and actions independent of the Convention.
Dioxins are predominantly generated as unintended by-products of combustion processes and are, thus, most usually discharged into the air. Air, therefore, represents the primary route of deposition of dioxins to the environment. It has been estimated that 96% of dioxins present in the environment have arisen from air emissions. They can then be deposited on plant, soil and water surfaces. Dioxins can then enter the food chain when animals eat contaminated leaves. In aquatic environments, filter-feeding animals can absorb dioxins when they filter sediments or particulate matter floating in the water. The dioxins are then absorbed into the animal fat. Dioxins increase in concentration as they migrate up the food chain. The consumption of animal products with high fat content, such as meat and dairy goods, can increase human exposure to dioxins.
Given these factors, the main priorities for the NDP will be to carry out studies to determine the levels of dioxins in humans and the environment and to assess the relative importance of sources of dioxin emissions. Results of studies on dioxins by other Australian Government programs or agencies will also improve our knowledge on dioxin levels in Australia.
The data gathering and consolidation phase of the program will run from mid 2002 through to late 2003 and aims to:
Up to $2.5 million has been allocated for Phase One with much of the work to be carried out through contracts let by the Australian Government to well respected scientific organisations.
Dioxins accumulate in body fat and the average concentration increases progressively with age. The measurement of dioxins in humans is an important indicator of dioxin exposure and is extremely useful in determining trends. Trend analysis is an important tool in determining the effectiveness of measures taken to reduce dioxins. To determine the levels of dioxins in the Australian population, two studies will be undertaken by assessing the levels of dioxins in human breast milk and in blood serum.
This study aims to assess the level of dioxins in the body by using the amount found in pooled breast milk samples as an indicator of total body levels. Dioxins accumulate in the food chain, particularly in fat containing foods and when humans consume foods, the dioxins in the food remain in the body's fat stores. Since breast milk is a rich source of fat, analysis of the levels of dioxins in breast milk is valuable for estimating the total amount of dioxins in humans.
In this study, breast milk samples will be taken from 200 first time mothers from metropolitan and rural areas in Australia.
The blood serum study will analyse pooled blood samples collected from up to 10,000 male and female donors in four metropolitan and one rural area across Australia in five age groups; <15, 15-30, 30-45, 45-60 and >60 years.
International studies have concluded that around 95% of human exposure to dioxins (and other chlorinated chemical compounds) is through food, particularly those foods containing animal fats such as meat and dairy products. Dietary exposure to dioxins can be estimated by determining the concentrations of dioxins in foods likely to contain dioxins and then multiplying these results by the consumption of these foods. This involves sampling of representative foods from the marketplace and analysing these for dioxins content.
Food Standards Australia New Zealand (funded by the Department of Health and Ageing) will analyse the levels of dioxins in a variety of meat, fish, eggs and dairy foods taken from retail outlets during 2000 in all State and Territory capitals. The samples are generally those foods that are consumed in significant amounts in the Australian diet and have been prepared to a 'table-ready' state (e.g. cooked) and, thus, best represent the amounts of dioxins that would be consumed.
The National Residue Survey (administered by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries & Forestry - Australia) is analysing dioxins levels in approximately 240 samples of agricultural commodities such as meat and dairy products collected across Australia. The number of samples for each type of product is based on the proportion of the total production of that commodity. The findings will be reported as national data and will not identify individual properties.
Studies will be carried out to determine the ambient level of dioxins in a range of environmental media including air, aquatic environments, soils and fauna. Where possible, these studies will take samples from three broad areas: metropolitan, agricultural and remote areas such as national parks and other Crown lands.
The objective of this project is to characterise dioxin levels in ambient air in Australia. This will be achieved by sampling air on a monthly basis over a twelve month period at locations in metropolitan, agricultural and remote areas. These measurements will characterise seasonally dependent factors including bushfire smoke and residential wood-heater smoke in areas where these sources impact strongly on air quality.
The objective of this project is to characterise dioxin levels in Australian soils. Sampling will be carried out in a range of climates and landforms across Australia and where possible in areas close to the air sampling sites. Several samples will be collected from each area and combined to form one aggregate sample for the analysis.
Overseas studies have found that detecting the presence of dioxins in water is unlikely, as dioxins are insoluble in water. It is, therefore, more cost effective to concentrate on sampling from sediments and biota where the dioxins are more likely to accumulate.
This study will involve the analysis of dioxins in a range of representative fauna and sediment samples obtained from freshwater, estuarine and marine environments. The fauna will include common species of fish and sedentary species that are known to accumulate toxic substances, e.g. oysters and mussels. Where possible the sediment samples will be collected in the same area as the fauna. Areas that are subject to dredging or similar periodic disturbance will be avoided.
The objective of this project is to characterise the levels of dioxins in range of terrestrial fauna. The species to be covered by the project could include macropods, birds, such as birds of prey, lizards and soil invertebrates. Where possible the samples will be taken from animals that have been killed accidentally by motor vehicles and from the same areas where the soil and air sampling will be undertaken.
The 1998 inventory identified a range of sources of dioxins emissions to air of which six may contribute up to 95% of the total amount - bushfires (both wild fires and prescribed burning), residential wood combustion, coal combustion, sinter production and industrial wood combustion. However, as these estimates were based largely on overseas studies, the following projects will attempt to provide more accurate data.
The 1998 inventory estimated that bushfires may contribute up to 75% of the total dioxins in Australian environment. The objective of this project is to characterise dioxin emissions from bushfires in Australia. This will be achieved by sampling smoke from either wildfires or prescribed burns, and in laboratory controlled fires. A variety of vegetation categories will be examined including native forests and woodlands, pine plantations and agricultural crop residues.
Overseas studies show that motor vehicles may contribute less than 3% of the total dioxins emissions in a country. Nevertheless, a study will be undertaken to determine the probable contribution to the dioxin emissions from this source. The study will involve examining studies of motor vehicle emissions in other countries and comparing these with the Australian motor vehicle fleet. Factors such as the composition of the Australian fleet, types of fuels used and their additives, emission control standards and driving patterns, including distances travelled, will be taken into consideration when extrapolating the overseas data to Australia.
Under the "Living Cities - Air Toxics Program", the Department of the Environment and Heritage published in March 2002 the technical report: Emissions from Domestic Solid Fuel Burning Appliances. This report, includes measurements of dioxins emissions from domestic wood heaters.
Many Australian industrial facilities monitor emissions of substances as part of regulatory requirements or as a commitment to ensuring their processes are operating efficiently and with minimal environmental effects.
Data on estimations of dioxin emissions from industrial and other sources will be provided as part of the reporting requirements under the National Pollutant Inventory (NPI). Estimations of dioxins emissions were reported for the first time in the fourth reporting year of the NPI, i.e. 1 July 2001 - 30 June 2002. Data for this period was made publicly available in January 2003. For the most part NPI dioxins emissions data are estimations and not actual monitoring data, therefore, care will be needed in interpreting them.
|Limitations of the Phase One studies
Because dioxins are toxic at very low levels, their presence in substances is measured in parts per trillion. Analysis, therefore, requires highly sensitive equipment and is time consuming and costly - the costs for the analysis alone may be up to $2,000 per sample. This is in addition to any costs associated with collection of the samples.
Accordingly, the number of samples that will be analysed for the studies are low e.g. for the environmental study there will be around 400 samples across the four components. Despite the low numbers of samples, the results will still provide a valuable picture of the indicative levels of dioxins in Australia
The data gathered through the studies funded under the NDP, other government programs, data collected by non-government groups, NPI reporting and excisting data, will be used to prepare a new inventory of dioxins in Australia. It is expected that work on the inventory would commence in mid 2003 and continue through to late 2003 as the results of the Phase One studies become available.
Phase Two will use the findings of Phase One as a basis to assess the potential risks of dioxins to the environment. An assessment will also be made of the potential risks for human health from exposure to dioxins either directly from the environment or from dioxin contaminated food. The risk assessment will also take into consideration research done in other countries.
The Office of Chemical Safety within the Department of Health and Ageing will undertake the human health assessment while the environmental risk assessment will be undertaken by the Department of the Environment and Heritage. It is understood that Australia would be the first country in the world to attempt an environmental risk assessment of dioxins, other assessments have focussed only on the impacts to human health.
The risk assessment phase will begin in mid 2003 and be completed by early 2004.
The outcome of the risk assessment phase will be used to inform the policy development phase. This will include developing national management measures to reduce, and where feasible, eliminate dioxins in Australia. In this phase, an assessment will be made of the excisting regulatory framework (applied in each jurisdiction) and the consequence of no action. An assessment will also be made of what regulatory forms are suitable from guidelines through to mandatory standards.
Subject to the outcomes of the risk assessment, management measures could include:
The combination of measures that might ultimately be implemented will be a matter for State and Territory governments. In considering management measures, governments will need to give due consideration to cost benefit analysis and the Precautionary Principle.
Phase Three would begin late 2004.
The following dates are for planning purposes and may be subject to change.
|Phase One - data gathering projects commence
|July 2002
|Phase One - data gathering projects - progress reports received
|November 2002
|Phase One - data gathering projects - final reports received
|Late 2003
|Phase One - Inventory compilation commences
|Mid 2003
|Phase One - Inventory completed
|Late 2003
|Phase Two - impact assessment commences
|Mid 2003
|Phase Two - impact assessment completed
|Early 2004
|Report to EPHC on outcomes of Phases One and Two
|October 2004
|Phase Three - development measures commence
|Late 2004
|National Dioxins Program ceases
|June 2005
A review of progress will be undertaken near the end of each phase to ensure the program is on track in terms of meeting the target dates.
Two bodies, the National Dioxins Project Team (NDPT) and the National Dioxins Consultative Group (NDCG), established to advise on the direction of the program will play a key role in communicating with stakeholders as shown in Figure 2.
The NDPT, chaired by the Department of the Environment and Heritage, comprises representatives of State and Territory environment protection agencies and representatives of the Primary Industries Ministerial Council (PIMC) and the Australian Health Ministers' Conference (AHMC). Under the direction of the Australian Government, the role of the NDPT is to:
The NDCG, chaired by the Department of the Environment and Heritage, comprises representatives from industry, scientific research and community interest organisations. Under the direction of the Australian Government, the role of the NDCG is to:
In addition to consulting through these bodies, opportunities will be provided to seek broader community views during the risk assessment.
A further public consultation process will also be undertaken during the development of measures.

The Northern State University Marching Wolves are back from their journey to the nation's capitol and are full of lifelong memories.
"We saw the Smithsonian, Holocaust Museum, oh I even had my first sidewalk hotdog," Sophomore, Nicole Merriman said. "And we don't get those in South Dakota."
The "Fury of the North" was playing in the 57th Presidential Inaugural Parade and will always cherish their opportunity to play for President Obama.
"It hasn't really hit me yet," Merriman said. "I mean we played for the president!"
What has hit home was the cost of the trip.
It costs a pretty penny for 111 band members to travel more than 15,000 miles.
"It was expensive, but that is what we are here for," Mike Bockorny, Vice President of the Northern State Foundation said. "The foundation wants to be able to help with things like this."
The trip costs nearly $150,000, and the foundation is looking to finish paying off the final costs.
"We have been emailing alumni, calling donors," Bockorny said. "Anything really to get the last of the money paid."
Right now the school has less than $30,000 dollars to go and the students are doing their best to help with the costs as well, through their own fundraisers.
Although, it is tough to put a price tag on memories, band members know their trip was expensive, but are truly thankful for the opportunity and the help they have received thus far.
"We could not have gone without the help, not only the foundation but the community of Aberdeen has done so much."
To donate contact the Northern State University Foundation at (605) 626-2550.

--Peso closes at strongest level since August 2011
--While stocks fall on U.S. data, local bonds attract buyers
--Banorte-Ixe sees next key level for currency at MXN12 to dollar
By Anthony Harrup
MEXICO CITY--A disappointing U.S. employment report for March did little to curtail gains in Mexico's peso Friday as the currency reached its strongest close since mid-August 2011, while local stocks declined in line with U.S. equities.
The peso was quoted closing in Mexico City at MXN12.1950 to the U.S. dollar, according to Infosel, 1% stronger than its close of MXN12.3155 Thursday. The exchange rate briefly hit MXN12.39 in early trading as the U.S. Labor Department reported an increase of just 88,000 in March payrolls, compared with the 200,000 gain expected by economists.
Mexican stocks fell on the employment news, with the market's IPC index of leading issues closing down 0.7% at 43244 points.
The weak U.S. data, however, bolstered expectations the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates near zero and maintain its expansive monetary policy, encouraging continued flows into Mexican government bonds and pushing yields down on the secondary market. The yield on 10-year bonds due 2022 fell eight basis points to 4.80%, and the yield on bonds due 2029 fell five basis points to 5.38%.
Banorte-Ixe foreign-exchange strategist Juan Carlos Alderete said the bad payrolls number did nothing to tarnish positive views on Mexico, and that participants took advantage of early currency weakness to build peso positions.
The peso is at its strongest level against the dollar since August 2011, as expectations remain high that the Mexican Congress will pass economic reforms, supporting longer-term economic growth, while local yields continue to be attractive compared with the low rates in industrialized economies.
Mr. Alderete said Japan's increased monetary easing announced this week is likely to bring even more investment into the country. He said the key level for the peso to break through is between MXN12.17 and MXN12.20 to the dollar, after which it could strengthen as far as MXN12.00.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch, in a report this week, said that among Latin American currencies it recommends long positions for the Mexican peso and the Brazilian real.
"We favor MXN as Mexico continues to push its economy in the right direction, boosting long-term growth potential and attracting capital inflows," BofAML said. "We view MXN as still undervalued against non-USD currencies, and expect monetary policy in advanced economies to remain extremely loose, driving investors into higher-yielding assets and stronger markets."
Friday's stock market volume was moderate in the wake of the U.S. jobs report, with 224.6 million shares changing hands for MXN6.17 billion.
Banking concern Banorte O shares fell 4.2% to MXN91.40 after Bloomberg reported the bank was planning to raise $2 billion in coming months, most of it via equity. Other banking stocks also fell, with Inbursa (GFINBUR.MX) O shares off 3.2% at MXN34.34 and Santander Mexico (SANMEX.MX, BSMX) B shares closing down 2% at MXN37.43.
Cement company Cemex (CX, CEMEX.MX) CPO shares recovered the ground lost the previous three sessions and closed up 5.2% at MXN15.14.

Here's a bunch of miscellaneous tips for making money...
Get the largest bags you can afford, as soon as possible, and loot everything you kill. That vendor trash adds up eventually. You should have all 16 slot bags in your main inventory by the time you hit level 35, and all your bank slots filled with 16 slotters by the time you hit 50.
Don't be so fast to dump grey items. I've found that really low level grey and white shoulder armor sells pretty well since there's not many options. In particular, the earliest mail shoulders you can get are a grey item. There's also a level 1 grey necklace that you can loot from the graves in ZF that is surprisingly popular with bank alts.
You can make a decent amount of money farming low level instances (WC, SFK, VC) and elite areas like Pyrewood village. Since the mobs are easy to kill and you can sell most under-20 greens for 1g each, the return for your effort is much higher. Plus, the auction house listing fees for low level greens are so low that you can just re-list them over and over again until they sell. Occasionally, you'll get a blue or a twink green as well. When farming Pyrewood village, do it at night when they are in werewolf form. They are easier to kill and have better drops. Use the hidden vendor by the greymane wall to dump your trash.
Make sure you have the latest version of Auctioneer installed and scan every time before you post new items.
To help with farming, pick up the SellValue mod...
...and use the "/li" command line option when your bags are full. This will show you which items are worth the least so you know what to dump to make room.
Learn where all of the out of the way recipe vendors are located and hit them up every few days for patterns to re-sell on the auction house.

Hanako's Poetry: Haystack (Draft One)
Bright white sky, fading to blue overhead
Bare beige field
Clinging onto naked trees,
Unable to join their decomposing friends at the base
Soggy and soft from days of being treaded over.
The longer I sit, the warmer I get.
The sun hits a distant roof.
It blinds me as…
Overall this poem is really nice and it has good descriptions, but sometimes I get confused. Maybe you could make the descriptions more clear.

PHILADELPHIA -- Ryan Howard had surgery Wednesday morning to repair a tear in his left knee.
The Philadelphia Phillies' slugger will miss between six to eight weeks. He had an MRI on Monday that revealed the injury.
Howard, the 2006 NL MVP, went on the disabled list Saturday. The three-time All-Star was hitting .266 with 11 homers and 43 RBIs. He was noticeably hobbling during games before he was sidelined.

The nice folks at Performer Magazine interviewed me about my favorite Telecaster…
Ruff mixes. (BAD STUDIO JOKE, SORRY.)
howdy! It's been a busy but great fall and winter here at GaluminumFoil! I just updated my demo reel and discography pages with a bunch of new stuff, so check that out if you get a chance.
Here's a couple of notes on what I've been up to, in no-particular-order:
The Mattingly Muff. Very hard working, good sideburns.
Hello! I've got a couple days of downtime here at GaluminumFoil, figured I'd write a little bit about what I've been up to in the past few months:
2013 is upon us! Jesus, I haven't updated this thing in a while….so here goes:
- I have spent the majority of January with the fine gentlemen of Naam (pictured above), recording and producing their next full-length record. I love these guys! We spent the first week of January tracking basics, live to GFoil's trusty MCI 2" machine. We're about 75 percent done with the record (okay, maybe 70 percent!) The songs are great - and I really hate the overuse of the word "epic", but there's a couple of sprawling, EPIC tracks on this record! Everyone is playing their asses off, the coffee budget is out of this world, Papadocilios takeout is ordered daily, and we've had a certain poodle co-producing and lending moral support. Really excited to keep working on this album, which should be out late spring. Here's a little preview for the rekkid.
- Just before Naam moved in for the majority of January, Dead Stars came for a long weekend of basic tracking for their next EP. For those of you unfamiliar, the band is comprised of three wonderful dudes whose names all start with the letter "J", playing the living shit out of amazingly well-crafted songs. One of my favorites to catch live. I think they describe themselves as "Fuzz Pop", but I'm more apt to describe it as "Stuff I Like Listening To Repeatedly At Dangerously High Volumes." Looking forward to picking up where we left off in February!
- Back in November and December of 2012, Heliotropes were in to track a bunch of tunes for their upcoming full-length. Well, we're finishing up mixing this week and it's coming out great so far…stay tuned…
- The Glorious Veins finished up their new record, "Savage Beat" here at GFoil in November. This is the third record that I've worked on with these guys and (bias aside) it's a pretty big step forward for them. I've been a fan of theirs for a long time, and they keep musically evolving in the best way that four people playing music together should, can, and do. What a pleasure! Mastered at Masterdisk with loving care by the one and only Alex DeTurk.
- Psychic TV/PTV3's new vinyl 12' single "Silver Sundown Machine" came out in December. I'm happy to say that I played all of the guitar notes, and that most of them were "in key". My partner in all-things-tacos Gary Atturio helped with tracking basics. We'll be heading to Europe-town (towne?)for Roadburn Festival and a few other shows in the last half of April. Can't wait!
- Ms. Tatiana Kochkareva and I have been working on two new songs as a follow-up to last year's Infinity…more recording in a few months, yes!
- The end of 2012 brought with it the close of two long-termish projects I had really enjoyed working on for the majority of the year - new records by Kelly St. Patrick and Chris Abad. Super-happy and grateful to have make music with these two - and come to count them as friends!
- My friend Omer Leibovitz (Courtesy Tier) came in on a very cold November night and laid down six songs, guitar and vocal, live to tape. No punches, no edits, no synthesized reproductions of the Harlem Boys' Choir, just a few scant overdubs. Talk about ballsy! The result is the new Dan Abraham EP. Love it.
- coming up in the next couple of months: Gunfight!, Dead Stars, Jane Eyre, Weird Owl, La Otracina, Tatiana Kochkareva, Strangers, and more…looking forward, to say the least!
and, from the Heartfelt Cheese Dept: lastly, a sincere and very loud THANK YOU to everyone who has entrusted me with recording their music and words. it's a humbling honor and a pleasure to do so!
Whew! Way too long since my last post…I've been makin' rekkids! Here's the highlights of what I've been up to this late spring and summer:
-Updated both the demo reel and discography pages…new tunes, new records!
- Naam's latest EP "The Ballad Of The Starchild" is out and ready for your consumption…perhaps while consuming something. We worked on it all throughout the winter last year, had a blast, and I'm super psyched (pun?) with the record. Recorded, produced, and mixed by yours truly - superb vinyl mastering by Alex DeTurk at Masterdisk. These dudes just released a sick video for the EP's title track, too. Yes!
- Dead Stars released their "I Get By" 7", recorded and mixed by yours truly at GFoil…on blue vinyl! Go see these guys if you get a chance - one of my favorite bands to see live. More recently, I also helped them record a new tune, "Fractured" at their practice space.
-Just finished mixing the new Psychic TV vinyl-only release - tracked live and mixed here at GaluminumFoil. As with the last few releases, each single contains a unique interpretation of a cover song, and a brand-new original. Can't quite reveal what the cover is just yet….buuuuuut it's pretty sick. NYC record release show in December!
-I spent a nice chunk of early June co-producing with the fine fellows of Quiet Loudly - four great guys, a studio dog, and a few repeatedly misplaced adult beverages resulted in their full-length, "Go Into The Light Smiling". What a blast. Great psychedelic noise-pop songwriting! Tracked a good amount of the record live to our MCI 24-track, too.
- The wonderful Tatiana Kochkareva was in recently to work on a new single which will be out soon. Her album, "Infinity" came out earlier this year - I'm proud to have co-produced, mixed, and played various noisy instruments on it. One of my favorite records that I've had the privilege to work on. We also finished a pretty cool Christmas tune, which you can check out here. More soon!
-Mixed a couple of songs for Brooklyn's awesome Heliotropes - and we just finished tracking a GREAT version of an old Roky Erickson song. Lots more from these guys yet to come -looking forward to their record in November!
- The Glorious Veins have been working on their second full-length, with basics tracked live to our 24-track MCI. This is the second record of theirs I've worked on - great songs, inventive lyrics, and fantastic guitar playing! They put together a great live-in-studio video for one of their new songs - tracked 100% live and mixed by yours truly at GFoil.
- Man The Change has been slowly releasing songs from our sessions earlier this year. The "Faded" EP just came out, and they'll be releasing a full-length before the year is out. Great dudes, and we had a blast putting the tracks together.
- Kelly St. Patrick has been working on her new full-length with me over the past year - we're heading to mastering in September. Great alt-country vibe with a couple of cool covers thrown in…
- We're now the mixing stage for Chris Abad's forthcoming record, which we've been working on a few tracks at a time. Super-proud of this one - Chris brought in some great songs to work on, and we made judicious use of fuzz guitar on…well, a number of tunes!
- My ol' pal Mary Page was in to work on a single from her new project, Jumpers. I produced, mixed, and got to play a little organ and guitar on it too. Sweet!
- couple of new gear additions to the studio, most notably our Regular John 'Sick Sick Sick' Buss Compressor (a great SSL clone) a Yamaha CS-5 monosynth, and a newly reconditioned vintage RCA 77-D ribbon mic.
…and much more!

Check out our brochure:
Schools & Organizations
Not a student or organization?
We values hard work in the classroom but also understands that some of the best learning can come from outside classroom. Students have ample opportunity to put their English skills to the test through interactions with native speakers during off-campus excursions. We understand that many SEA students are preparing to study in the US, as such each program includes a visit to a university campus so students can see first-hand how American university students live and study. At the core of Greenheart's values is it commitment to community service. In New York and California all SEA students will participate in a Greenheart Volunteer Service Project at a local non-profit organization. Students learn the impact volunteering in a community can make and learn how to apply the concept of community service to their home countries.
SEA Califronia is a 3 week program, which costs $3,800. SEA NY is offered as a 3 week and a 4 week program. For 3 weeks the program costs $3,900. For 4 weeks the program costs $4,600. Both SEA programs are all inclusive! A $500 deposit is required upon acceptance to the program; this includes a $75 non-refundable in order to reserve space on the program.
International airfare and any fees associated with obtaining a passport and visa are the responsibility of the participant.
Each SEA program offers 48 hours of English classes (16 hours per week). Students test in to an English level on the first day of class. Students can be beginners, intermediate or advanced levels. There are 12 students max in each class. Reading, writing, speaking and listening lessons are all incorporated into class lessons although conversational English is heavily incorporated into the curriculum.
Our ESL teachers are native English speakers that have taught English for at least 2 years, have experience teaching teenagers, and many of them have taught abroad and understand what it is like to learn a new language. As such, they create a fun, welcoming learning environment in which students feel comfortable practicing English, in and out of the classroom. Class lessons, afternoon activities and meal times foster English speaking among the students and teachers and their international peers.
SEA provides one English class centered on the topic of community service to teach students:
Students are then given the opportunity to put what they learned into action! Students contribute to the host community by participating in a Greenheart volunteer community service project. Past projects have included:

These people are suffering from delusions of grandeur.
These bankers can talk until they run out of words but, the truth still remains, they are devaluing our currency!
The benefits are nothing, Ben.
Printing presses do not provide a benefit, it's masking the problem.
It is time to remind the feds, we are in the dump today because they kept interest rates too low for too long to juice the GDP. The resulting real estate bubble and crash is what brought us here. Their failure to supervise banks creating toxic products did not help either. Now they are back to "helping" Americans. Will Americans ever get out of this fed created never ending nightmare?
"crisis is a terrible thing to waste".
they are just handing free money to friends, family and future employers.
QE(n) where n from 1.. infinity is the govt welfare for the 1%.
The complete and utter carnival of the delusional and dangerous Krugmanities.
Benefits of Bond-Buying (from Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco survey of over 1000 participants — statistically significant number of participants):
1. Squeeze poor, elderly, middle class
2. Continued misallocation of capital
3. Wealth transfer to ultra rich & Fed cronies (Wall Street)
4. More dollars for Goldman … lower real wages for the masses
5. Support of rigged manipulated markets
6. Regressive redistribution of wealth to Wall Street banksters
7. Crony capitalism trick-down Fed policy
8. Crony bankster bailout on the backs of savers
Rates have been at historic lows for a while and the market is not seeing a significant uptick, so I am not sure why they think doing the same thing will produce different results.
The Kaynesian Fed lunatics who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Just keep jacking up that price of gas Ben.
Great work!
You forgot:
9. Shows Wall Street quietly supports Barry "Grand Mufti" Obama afterall
@ Krugmanites
I took those responses directly from the survey posted on Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco Facebook page, "What effect do you think QE3 will have on the U.S. economy?"
(WSJ does not allow me to include the link, so Google "FS Fed facebook" to see the survey)
Keep up the excellent work Dr. Bernanke!
Fed does not understand that when 90% of the population considers itself to be massively "short" savings, artificially inflating stock prices relative to future expectation of income growth can make these under-saved individuals more short. If they are short savings they are in reality short stocks, not long em. The increase in stock wealth only benefits those who have "discretionary" savings – those who have the ability to save in excess of what is needed. The fed can influence decisions are discretionary savings but not mandatory savings. GIven that only 10% of the US population falls into that category – and they are the wealthiest with low marginal propensity to spend- it is far from clear that the FED will get its desired result. Fed models need to take into account the relative savings position in society. Bottom line is a few extra thousand dollars in a under-funded retirement account when one is short savings is not going to make peole spend money – unless they are VERY confident that their future earnings potential will grow. Fed has it all wrong.
bankers work for themselves and rich people.
fed is a bank.
Some good insights here! Thanks all!
What Greenspan termed "irrational exuberance", Bubbles Bernanke calls "the wealth effect". The hubris of these central criminals is breathtaking! They are teenagers with a chemistry set that won't stop experimenting until they blow up the house! And WE are all their guinea pigs!
Prepare for economic armageddon. Calamity this way comes! I pray every day that God will deliver us from the Obama/Bernanke nightmare!

This country has so few (relative to population) genuine heroes (male) and heroines (female) that I don't think any "heroine" (as reported in the March 22 page 3 headline, "Heroine Arrest") should ever be arrested—no matter what she may have done.
I also cannot support the "sale of heroine," as I don't believe that such heroic women should ever be bought or sold.
Birds Fly, Images Remain
One recent March night in Florida, I lay awake at 3 a.m. watching images of birds and other wildlife dance in the darkness. They were of rare or uncommon recent sightings. Unable to forget them, I was writing an outline in my head of this article. Knowing I'd never remember it in the morning I got up to write while standing at the kitchen island in dim light. Part of the following is what I scrawled that night.
The Sea's Toll
The day after a heavy rain, the beach has whitecaps that are out of a Winslow Homer painting. This isn't the usual calm Gulf of Mexico. A dead loon is on the sand in calm finality. Did it exhaust itself struggling against that sea? Nearby is a lightning whelk egg case, something that rarely washes up here. Bone- colored, rather long and thick, it resembles a heavy snake. This once had contained the eggs, which spawned large numbers of lightning whelks common on Florida's Gulf Coast. I carry it on a stick to show my wife the sea's mystery, which is sometimes called a "mermaids necklace." A woman apparently fascinated by it gets her camera and takes several pictures.
The LIRR train was packed with happy young people, all dressed up for the St. Patrick's Day Parade. One guy was wearing a kilt, and everyone else seemed to be wearing bright green.
Lorraine and I were going to see the new show Kinky Boots: honestly, we had no idea what to expect. The show was still in previews, opening for reviews on April 4. The Al Hirschfield Theater on 45th Street quickly filled and seating was completely sold out for the performance.
I'm pleased to announce a package of tax relief and reform measures to give an economic boost to New York taxpayers. The current proposal is in line with my previous efforts to provide Nassau taxpayers with meaningful relief during these difficult economic times.
The 2013 Family Tax Relief Act would provide a major economic boost to New York's middle class families, and seeks to restore the STAR Rebate Check Program to provide real and direct relief to millions of New Yorkers who pay some of the highest property taxes in the nation.
What would you, my reader, do if you lived in Jericho, Nassau County and you wished to meet and eat with a dear old friend on a Sunday afternoon; a friend who recently moved further out on the Island, in Suffolk County.
The answer is obvious: Select a spot in the heart of downtown Huntington and have your meeting there. My beautiful wife Lorraine and our friend Marilyn decided to meet at The Book Revue in downtown Huntington. I remember the bookstore because I read a few chapters from my book, Over 60 and Getting Younger there several years ago.
"School boards have long supported the goals of the new teacher and principal evaluation system as a way to improve student achievement," said NYSSBA Executive Director Timothy G. Kremer. "Our analysis, however, shows that the cost of this state initiative falls heavily on school districts. This seriously jeopardizes school districts' ability to meet other state and federal requirements and properly serve students."
Redistricting should be non-political and fair. Unfortunately, it never is. The way redistricting is done in most areas leads to distrust, aggravation and unfair results. Such is the case in Nassau County as we all struggled through the redistricting saga.
My strong suggestion on the day of the vote, which, by the way, received some support from Republicans, is to have redistricting occur by a non-political, good government committee, with the final approval being given to a Magistrate. The League of Women Voters comes to mind since they worked tirelessly in this process, only to be ignored once the lines were drawn.
The murder of Marcelo Lucero lingers as a scar on Long Island's conscience.
Four and a half years after the savage hate crime, we still struggle to understand how those involved in the attack could act with such horrific violence. And at the same time we struggle to understand the climate of anger towards immigrants from which this savagery emerged, a rising tide of hatred that clearly helped buoy the attackers to action. The attack was clearly a particularly brutal eruption of a very big problem and in a very real way, the angry teenagers who killed Marcelo Lucero are rightly serving prison sentences for the act, but they didn't act alone.
As a die-hard Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Mets baseball fan, I have always desired to go to spring training to see my teams perform in the Grapefruit League. Last week, at 78 years old, my wish came true.
With three other gentlemen, we flew to West Palm Beach Airport. Next we picked up a Toyota Avalon at Alamo Car Rental and proceeded toward Port St. Lucie to watch the 2013 Mets. On the way (Route 95 North), a black cloud filled with rain tried to get in our way, but it could not stop us. We had great hopes that our three-day stay would not be rained out. As it turned out, the Florida sun greeted us in Port St. Lucie. It was great to wear shorts and golf shirts under a sunny sky. We checked into the Main Stay Hotel ($75 a night).
The announcement last week by Northrop Grumman Corp. (Grumman to those of us who have been on this Island awhile) that it will transfer 850 jobs from its Bethpage facility to Florida and California should come as no shock.
The company, once Long Island's largest and best-known employer, has been sending jobs South for more than two decades. At one point, in the 1980s, the company employed 25,000 people on the Island, built the Navy' premier fighter, the F-14 Tomcat, and, in the 1960s, built the Lunar Lander that took Apollo astronauts to the moon.

With all the hot weather we have been experiencing in Sydney recently we have been trying to avoid cooking inside and using the oven too much. Therefore on Sunday we were deciding what we could cook on the BBQ for dinner.
I had a flick through my favourite cookbook at the moment, "The Gluten-free Kitchen" by Sue Shepherd, and came across these Olive and Fetta Veal Steaks. The great thing about this cookbook is that you don't need a million and one ingredients for each recipe.
For these steaks you do need to marinate them for at least three hours so make sure you plan in advance!
I served the steaks with a brown rice salad (see recipe below) and veges (peas, snowpeas and barbecued zucchini and beans).
To make the Olive and Fetta Veal Steaks (my slightly adapted version):
Ingredients (serves 4)
- 180g black olives, pitted and chopped
- 200g fetta, crumbled
- 1 tbs finely grated lemon zest
- 2 tbs chopped mint
- 2 tbs chopped flat-leaf pasley
- 3 tbs olive oil
- 4 lean veal steaks
- Pepper
1. Combine the olives, fetta, lemon zest, mint, parsley and 2 tbs olive oil in a bowl. Pat onto the veal steaks and season with pepper. Set aside on a plate for about three hours.
2. Fry the veal steaks (on the BBQ if you can!) for 3-5 minutes each side or until cooked to your liking.
And here's how to make my brown rice salad:
- 2 cups brown rice
- 1/4 cup oil
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 tbs ginger juice (grated ginger with peel on & squeeze)
- 1.5 tbs soy sauce
- Brazil nuts (chopped up)
- Cook brown rice as per instructions on packet and leave to cool
- Make the dressing (mix together oil, lemon, garlic, ginger juice and soy sauce) and mix into rice
- Add the chopped brazil nuts (you can use pecan nuts or macadamia nuts if preferred)
Serve with the veal steaks and vegetables of your choice and enjoy!
Do you like using the BBQ during summer?

Gluten-Free Chicken from Leon
about 3 hours ago - Comments Off
I have posted about Leon before, about how I not only love their food but how they cater for so many dietary needs including gluten free. Last week I was lucky enough to try their new menu item, Gluten-Free Chicken along with a couple of other goodies. When trialling gluten free products I always like

TKL Core for Raspberry Pi
Well, I've learned a few things.
Linked is a TKLPatch to be applied to Raspbian (based on wheezy) to make a Raspberry Pi as much like Turnkey Linux 12.0 as I could pull off. I'll continue to work on it as feedback allows.
Rationale: Eben Upton created the $35 Raspberry Pi to better prepare students for post-secondary work in computer science and hardware and software engineering. Raspian (or Raspbian, depending on where you look) is a remix of wheezy for the Raspi's architecture that includes essential tools to get kids up and running quickly as effective programming. By all accounts, it is very successful. In my school, 2/5 of the student population are now actively engaged in programming (compared to one last year). Regardless of its purpose, Raspberry Pi's specs make it perfect for some server appliances. No one does server appliances more purposefully and thoroughly than Turnkey Linux. My original intention was to make patches to create appliances directly. That's when I started asking What Would TKL Devs Do? So I decided to recreate Core as best I could, and then create appliances from that foundation.
What the patch assumes:
- Raspi is running Raspian from a freshly created .img.
- Raspi-config, otherwise, has been used to set locale, set TZdata, set keyboard-configuration.
- Root password has been created.
- Raspi has wired internet connectivity
- SSH has been enabled.
- All other users are logged off; root is logged in via SSH.
- TKLPatch is compiled on Raspian.
- I think that's it...
What the patch does:
- Sets hostname to 'core'.
- Purges packages that were obviously not helpful on a core appliance. I was conservative here. I could have just used the list linked here [raspbian server edition project] -- and probably made the image much smaller. Primarily, I'm too ignorant (but willing to learn) to purge effectively.
- Install function, followed by installs directly informed by Core 12.0 manifest - so directly informed, in fact, that I've probably got stuff in there that isn't serving any use on a Raspi (eject, lvm, for examples). Exceptions to the install list v the Core 12.0 manifest include all webmin packages.
- Webmin in Overlay: This patch is big, and I've been corrected for such behavior before. It's nevertheless plump with webmin. I took webmin wholesale out of a running instance of Core 12.0 running in a VM. Informed by the manifest, I took all the modules and the theme included in Core. Are there too many modules? Probably.
- Also in Overlay: Confconsole's services.txt. Standard practice for me.
- Installed via wget (could do better with a variable and a function, I realize): TurnKey Linux's python libraries and other original code.
- I can't remember how confconsole is handled - it'll be obvious to anyone who looks at the patch. Sorry, if I stop to look this post will never get finished.
- Handled via overlay: the actual inithooks that seemed relevant to raspi: in /usr/lib/inithooks/bin and firstboot.d.
- Shellinabox is installed from repo; the port is changed in conf with sed.
Problems I know about and don't know how to correct:
- Root cannot login via shellinabox. This makes me a sad panda; I've looked through running Core VM to see if I could find out why. Nothing was obvious to me. I checked permissions, groups, etc.
- 3 or 4 python modules/scripts are in /usr/bin that rightfully belong elsewhere. They have a place that's clearly defined in the documentation. If I remember correctly, they make confconsole go. I tried many things to make everything work with these files where they belong, but I didn't try the right thing. I'm ignorant about so much in fact, that I can't narrow it down to just Python ignorance.
Problem I'm anticipating:
- Webmin username/password sync with linux. I'm not sure I got this right.
I stuck this up on github at https://github.com/ghoulmann/Raspliance-Core. Raspliance Core? Really? For now. I mention this because...It's a 12MB tarball and won't fit here. If there's a better way to handle webmin (or anything here, for that matter) let me know. I want to keep this rolling.
Nice work, Rik! (...and "thanks" for doing the work and sharing. I look forward to getting a Raspberry Pi and checking it out)
I've got two Raspberries coming tomorrow
Perfect timing, I have two Pi's that should show up on my doorstep tomorrow!
Good on you Rik
Nice work mate! I haven't got one, but this makes it all the more appealing! Perhaps I better go order one now...
The only thing that I would suggest would be that rather than host the tarred patch on github, would be to host the untarred code. That way you or others would be able to easily add to/modify your work. GitHub is a great place to store patches in development IMO.
GitHub is cool I reckon
I find it very useful for sharing code. If you like GitHub then have a look at the TKL GitLab appliance too Rik. It's very much like GitHub. You may find it very useful for your students for keeping track of, and sharing all the coding work they are doing on their Raspis!
I have a very basic git/GitHub cheatsheet (in a text file) that I've been meaning to put in the wiki (for my own future reference as much as anything else). If you think that would be useful for you too, perhaps I should pull my finger out and post it...
Once I get a Raspi I'll take your patch for a test drive. Adding to my extensive todo list now... :)
Booting Raspliance-Core Image
Hi Rik,
I'm having trouble booting from your Raspliance image on my Raspi. I've read that older software (from before Sept. 2013) is problematic with newer boards. Have you had any success booting from your image on a newer Raspi board?

DISCLAIMER: At one point in this short I make a little joke about Machinima, I want to make it clear that, I have no problems with Machinima, I'm a Machinima director. I'm not the greatest animator in the world, but my opinion of SOME of the other Machinima animators is quite low, in fact because of how bad their animations are it INSPIRED me to animate, because if they can do it, anyone can.
Anyway, this is just a little animation about me making more animations. So every cartoon I make is essentially part of a series about me becoming a better animator, and potentially befriending other great animators! This was also a little tribute to every animator mentioned in the video, cause you know, I'm "fighting the best to become the best" sort of deal.
And the song at the end is "The Sunlit Earth," from Shadow of the Colossus.
EDIT: Sometimes when the video loads it might zoom in, just right click and "show all." I have no idea why it's doing this now.
Rated 5 / 5 stars May 7, 2012
I think you have what it takes to join the elite of popular animators, and possibly befriend them. Just keep making good quality stuff such as this and you'll get there in no time.
I wonder though, will there be a movie of you crawling around a colossal sized animator, stabbing all of their glowing weak points and such?
Maybe if I get to that point and everyone's a good sport I'll make an animation about it hah.

Very nice. You're doing very well for yourself. Keep it up buddy =)
Thank you!

ah your animations NEVER cease to amuse or appeal. as always your animation is smooth and really natural, not overdone or anything. i would like to know where you got the music though. this game was a highlight of my childhood, and i wouldnt mind reliving some of it. lil help?
Thanks! And google is your friend, my friend :) soundtrack can be bought on places like Amazon, finding it to download is easy too, places like khinsider and stuff, that site has a lot of video game soundtracks uploaded on it.

Disquiet (Penguin Original)by Julia Leigh
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Olivia arrives at her mother?s chateau in rural France (the first time in more than a decade) with her two young children in tow. Soon the family is joined by Olivia?s brother Marcus and his wife Sophie?but this reunion is far from joyful. After years of desperately wanting a baby, Sophie has just given birth to a stillborn child, and she is struggling to overcome her devastation. Meanwhile, Olivia wrestles with her own secrets about the cruel and violent man she married many years before. Exquisitely written and reminiscent of Ian McEwan and J. M. Coetzee, Disquiet is a darkly beautiful and atmospheric story that will linger in the mind long after the final page is turned.
"Leigh follows her internationally acclaimed The Hunter with a haunting family drama tightly packed into a tense novella. Olivia, referred to primarily (and somewhat affectedly) as 'the woman,' has fled her abusive husband with her two sharp-tongued young children. She seeks refuge at her mother's chateau in France, which she left on bad terms to get married 12 years earlier. Soon after Olivia's unexpected arrival, her brother shows up with his wife, Sophie, and the body of their stillborn child. Although the plot feels a bit slight, there is great emotional weight and disturbing imagery, as Sophie wanders aimlessly, still wearing her hospital ID bracelet and carrying her lifeless daughter in her arms as if the baby were a doll. The chateau is an ideal gothic setting for the morbid events that occur over the course of several days; indeed, there is only one scene that takes place off the chateau's grounds, infusing the novel with an unsettling atmosphere of claustrophobia. Death and impending death reign, but Leigh also paints a subtle portrait of a broken family trying to piece itself back together." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Olivia arrives at her mother's chateau in rural France--the first time in more than a decade--with her two young children in tow. Soon the family is joined by Olivia's brother Marcus and his wife Sophie--but this reunion is far from joyful, in this exquisitely written, atmospheric story.

The stock RB26 camshaft has a 240/236mm duration with 8.58mm lift (intake) and 8.28mm exhaust. Hiro says if a cam has a lift of 9.5mm or larger or the cam has a base circle larger than the factory 32mm, modifications to the head are mandatory. There's also a catch when determining mods. An aftermarket camshaft that has a smaller base circle usually means it also has a higher lift such as the HKS Step Pro L 280/280mm camshaft we plan to use. The Pro L set has a 10.7mm lift (intake) and 10.3mm lift exhaust cam profile with only a 29mm base circle. This camshaft has a smaller base circler but because of the lift, it will come in contact with the head if not modified.

Hockey: Hynes wants to make big impact at Union
Wednesday, July 23, 2014
If forward Tyler Hynes had followed his original plan when he committed to the Union College hockey program a couple of years ago, when he was playing at Albany Academy, he could have been a part of the Dutchmen's NCAA hockey championship team last season.
National exposure has helped Union's recruiting

Normally, replacing six players from a national championship college hockey team would be difficult.
But with the reputation that the Union hockey team has built over the last few years, culminating with winning its first NCAA title in April, prospective student-athletes are seeking out the Dutchmen.

Just 46 seconds after the Baltimore Ravens had tied the score of Sunday's contest at FedEx Field, Morris put the football on the ground. Again. It was the second time in two games that a Morris fumble led to points for the opposition. Last week it was a third quarter fumble that allowed the New York Giants to kick a field goal....

Freimann Square money better spent elsewhere
So the argument over what to do about the Anthony Wayne statue has been solved. The Courthouse Preservation Trust gets to keep the Courthouse Green in its present state, and all they have to do is contribute $100,000 toward improving the setting in Freimann Square where the statue now stands. Problem solved.
I'm not buying it. I like the statue just the way it is.
I have no problem with the trust wanting to keep the Green as it sees fit. The Trust expended a lot of effort, time and money and has made a wonderful improvement to the cityscape. But I don't understand why they are willing to sell out me and others like me who enjoy Freimann Square as it is just to get what they want for themselves.
In 1999 Freimann Square was one of 362 sites nationwide to be awarded The Centennial Medallion by the American Society of Landscape Architects. This once-in-a-century award recognized Freimann Square as an outstanding example of landscape architecture. If the so-called improvements take place, will the medallion be pried from its pedestal and thrown in the trash? Why fix something that's not broken?
If someone has the desire to care for a sculpture in Fort Wayne, one that is truly unique to our city, The Old Aqueduct Club Memorial at the corner of West Main and Rockhill is in dire need of tuck pointing. That's an improvement I could get behind.

Moonshine co-opted by Madison Avenue
About moonshine (Moonshine rises, Aug. 14): My father was born and raised in East Tennessee. I lived in East Tennessee from seventh grade until past the age of 30. I can tell you that, by definition, moonshine whiskey is made illegally and sold illegally.
This is another example of Madison Avenue ruining a perfectly good word. Surely no self-respecting redneck will buy the stuff.

Add Lincoln to list of liberals misdeeds
I watched the movie Lincoln the other day and saw some revealing traits that have not been portrayed before in Lincoln movies. The backroom arm-twisting was new to me and made me think we have not changed a bit in the last 150 years. I think that liberals should look at this movie because the next revealing thing was that the Democrats fought the emancipation amendment tooth and nail, calling the Republicans abolitionist.
I saw an interview about how authentic they wanted to make this movie, and I thought that this authenticity is why the movie never got the awards it deserved. The liberals in California didn't like that the Democrats fought this amendment tooth and nail.
Who drafted the amendment and who got it through?
Why are the liberals so hypocritical? I even read today that the mortgage fraud announced by the Democrats just before the election last year was grossly inflated. Obamacare is falling apart and only going to hurt the people it intended to help because the unions and big businesses have an extension but not us.
Why are they believed about anything?
