About Bioethics and Film
Vision of the Program in Bioethics and Film
Founded in 1998 by award-winning filmmaker and physician, Maren Grainger-Monsen, the Program in Bioethics and Film creates films and education programs that touch people emotionally and intellectually to cause them to think deeply about important issues in healthcare and improve care. Grainger-Monsen has developed a singular style of interweaving documentary footage with haunting imagery and sound to create visually, intellectually and emotionally stirring documentaries that cross traditional boundaries to engage a wide audience — from medical students and healthcare providers to the general public.
Impact and Scope of Work
Grainger-Monsen's most recent work, Hold Your Breath, is a haunting documentary that exposes the tragic consequences of cross-cultural miscommunication. This dramatic face off between ancient Islamic traditions and contemporary medical technology follows the dramatic journey of an Afghan refugee family, as cultures collide over medical treatment of their father's illness. The film, which is scheduled for national broadcast on PBS in Spring 2007, has attracted national media attention, including a Newsweek cover story and a story on ABC World News Tonight with the late Peter Jennings. Screenings have received overwhelmingly positive responses in diverse community settings across the nation, often followed by the film's implementation as an educational and cultural bridge-building tool.
Hold Your Breath evolved out of Grainger-Monsen's last project, Worlds Apart, a series of four short films, produced for medical education, that explore cultural conflicts over medical treatment. Shot in patients' homes, neighborhoods, and places of worship, hospital wards and community clinics, Worlds Apart provides a penetrating look at both the patient's culture and the culture of modern medicine. The success of the series is evidenced by its use in over 50 medical schools, 353 residency programs and medical centers, and 180 colleges and universities, as well as libraries and other health-related educational institutions across the country: over 695 institutions nationwide. Winner of several prestigious awards, including a silver Hugo in Medical and Dental Science at the Chicago International Film Festival and a silver medal at the Health and Science Communications Association 30th Annual International Media Festival, Worlds Apart has had a tremendous local and national impact on increasing cultural sensitivity and improving health care for racially and ethnically diverse patients.
The Vanishing Line, a feature documentary broadcast nationally on PBS' award winning POV series, poses the question: "When does life become a fate worse than death?" An intensely personal look at sustaining life at any cost, the film takes Dr. Grainger-Monsen on a quest to discover the "art of dying" in a world that taught her how to prolong life, but offered few prescriptions for treating death. The film received numerous awards including a National Emmy Award nomination, First Place at the Nashville Independent Film Festival, and Program of the Year, National Hospice Organization.
Grainger-Monsen's other films include Where the Highway Ends: Rural Healthcare in Crisis, which won a regional Emmy Award, and Grave Words, which was awarded first place in the American Medical Association Film Festival.

TEAMS: Washington Redskins, Dallas Cowboys, New York Jets
The RBI raided property owned in Indiana by former NFL player Jason Fabini and his brother, but Fabini said Friday that he's the subject of an investigation. The raid apparently was part of probe into the activities of Fabini's brother, Michael. "I have cooperated fully with authorities, and will continue to do so," Fabini said in a statement published by the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette. "I have not been charged, nor do I expect to be charged with a crime. I expect the community will have many questions as rumors circulate and this investigation continues, but I ask that we trust in the authorities to do their job." The FBI raid also included the home of Michael Fabini, the Journal Gazette reported. It acknowledged an investigation involving the Safe Streets Task Force, which deals with illegal drugs and violent crimes, but offered no details. Local news media witnessed officers carrying items out of Michael Fabini's home in an upscale Fort W...

The Faculty
VANCOUVER - Geneen Georgiev Creator & Artistic Director
I would like to welcome dancers to the 2013-2014 season of Scholarship Dance | Vancouver Toronto ! I am so very proud of how this program has developed and expanded, and can't wait for a new year of amazingness! I truly feel that the most important component of the Scholarship Program is the idea that participants come together from a wide variety of dance backgrounds to build an atmosphere where they can develop, create, and learn from one another. Within this environment I see dancers demonstrate growth in new dance disciplines as well as in their understanding of themselves as dance artists. The benefit of having mentors and choreographers who are among the most talented and seasoned working professionals in the industry gives these dancers the ability to make outstanding progress in what they love doing the most: dancing and being artists! Here's to a new year of exceptional progress!
TORONTO - Lindsay Ritter (2012-2014)
I would like to welcome all dancers to the 2013-2014 season of Scholarship Dance | Toronto! We are very proud to be Toronto's first official commercial dance training program! We have an extremely well-rounded program for dancers from all backgrounds looking to train, develop and grow as they prepare ultimately for their successful dance careers. We have a top notch faculty, as well as guest choreographers, mentors and business professionals who are all extremely well-known in the industry, ready to work with all of our dancers, to help prepare them for what lies ahead in their future careers. Now in our 2nd year, myself and the entire staff at Scholarship Dance | Toronto look forward to seeing you all develop and progress as dancers and artists!

Nice set up!

Great! I hope that you havn't had any problems with it? I am waiting before I get one to see if there are any potential hardware problems with any of the units. Most of what I've heard so far is about software which is great because that's always updatable!
#11 by Sam on November 20th, 2006
Hi! Can you please help me with this HD issue, as I'm just learning. Here goes:
I'm setting up my ps3 on an HDTV which supports 480, 720p, and 1080i. I hooked up the ps3 to my TV with an HDMI (Monster 800) cable…
When turning the ps3 on, and doing the configuring, it recognizes the tv's display settings, and sets the ps3 to a resolution of 720p.
Here I am confused. Shouldn't the console be taking advantage of the higher 1080i resolution? Or is the progressive 720p resolution considered to be optimal?
Should I go back and manually set the ps3 to 1080i, or just leave it alone?
If I do leave it alone as 720p, are high end component cables better to use than an HDMI cable?
And finally, how would these decesions impact my blue-ray playback quality?
Many thanks for the help.
#12 by Henning on November 20th, 2006 [ 0 Points ]
Sam: my TV supports the same input resolutions, and I set it to 720p. Why? Because the PS3 has a limitation where it can't upscale a 720p source to 1080i. So it'll downconvert to 480p instead. That's not what you want. Just set the output to 720p and you should be fine. That's what I do. You're not really missing out on much anyway, unless you figure the PS3′s upscaler would have been better than your TV's.
HDMI isn't that much of an advantage over component video (if any) if your TV is analog, like a CRT. It needs to convert the signal back to analog anyway. HDMI is nice if your display is digital (like DLP) because then the signal never has to get converted to and from analog. But the best way to find out is to try it. Pick up some component cables at Best Buy, try them out, and if you don't think they're better, return them.
I use Blu-ray playback over my 720p connection, and it looks great. This is one reason why you might want to stick with HDMI instead of component. HDMI supports HDCP, so any movies with the ICT flag enabled will still play at full resolution for you. You won't get that with component video cables. So far, there are no known movies with the ICT flag enabled, however. But they'll come…
#13 by Sam on November 20th, 2006
Wow! What a great response Henning, thanks so much! I've combed the entire internet looking for this answer and now I have it.
My TV is a 42″ flat panel plasma, so while I don't think that means its a CRT, I also don't know if that means its digital. Here's the link to the product…
If it is digital, would you agree that I should stick with HDMI? Sorry to be such a pest, I promise I'll shut up after this one…..maybe
Cheers, and thanks again for the help
#14 by Henning on November 20th, 2006 [ 0 Points ]
I'd stick with HDMI. But if you can return your Monster cable, I would. You must have paid a pretty penny for that, and you can get good HDMI cables for much much cheaper at eHDMI.com or Monoprice.com.

"Proceeds from the run will benefit the museum and help fund its general operations," explained Ronan MacGregor, of the Scottish Tartans Museum, a non-profit organization dedicated to the history and traditions of Scottish Highland culture. The museum features exhibits of the Scottish migration to North Carolina, as well as information about clan ancestry and customs.
"So far, we've had entries submitted from people in Raleigh and as far as Texas," he said.

Method behind the Ranger 'madness'
A successful franchise is well built from the bottom to the top. In the cap era a club needs to develop their own, they need to have a solid pipeline and a competitive minor league affiliate. Prospects need to get into the habit of success and the Rangers' minor league affiliate hasn't helped in this regard the past two years as the Wolf Pack have failed to get to the post season for two straight seasons.
To many Ranger fans, the Rangers had a disastrous July 1st. They lost popular players in Anton Stralman and Brian Boyle. They added a whole bunch of 'minor leaguers', an aging defenseman (Dan Boyle) with a recent injury history as well as a fist swinging bottom line player to an excessive deal. This is all true. However, let's look at two key issues here; the loss of core players – Boyle and Stralman – and the 'minor league' bunch.
Stralman and Boyle are replaceable
Everyone laments the loss of Stralman and Boyle. Rightly so. They have developed into solid NHL players and became core members of the Rangers. However do you remember where they came from? Stralman couldn't stick with a team and couldn't do better than a try-out with the Devils; Boyle was a Kings cast-off destined for the AHL, he was a project. There is no reason why the Rangers cannot develop this kind of player again.
With Dan Boyle signed, the next person inserted into the line-up will have sheltered minutes on the 3rd pairing. In a cap world you have to make sacrifices and Stralman is getting far too much money and term from Tampa. At the end of the day, Stralman doesn't offer anything that is irreplaceable. He offers no reason to panic.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
With all the lore-related speculation on what the estabilshed races /used/ to have as a class, and opening up the door to getting them back, I've yet to see something else considered here.
The Forsaken leader Sylvannas Windrunner was one of the highest ranking hunters in Azeroth. WAS. Like all the Forsaken, she lost those abilities when she died and was enslaved by the Lich King. To say that she can regain and share these skills with the Forsaken is setting up a precedent for Death Knights. I play a Blood Elf Death Knight on Twisting Nether and part of the role-playing involves walking through Silvermoon City remember what once was and his former life as a mage. Granted that meant killing off a few summoners at Dalaran Crater for his Dalaran Wizard Robe for his casual strolls on Walk of the Elders, but he has vengeance issues.
The point I'm trying to make is that if the Forsaken can regain class abilities had in life, the argument can be made that Death Knights can too having also broken thee Lich King's control over them. I'm not just talking about my DK being able to cast (nerfed) Living Bomb again either. Shouldn't Morgraine be able to share his Pally skills with the Ebon Blade? With being able to change factions (already set up by quests that give faction with Argent Dawn, etc.) that possibility exists. Ret Pally DKs ftw! Wouldn't that be a hoot for everyone else!
Before anyone says this can't happen, remember we also said this before these current race/class combos were proposed.
But Sylvanas didn't USED to be a ranger, she IS a ranger. Yeah, she lost some things when she became undead, but it's not like she took on a new class, as in the example of your ex-mage DK. She was a ranger in life, then she was killed and was briefly a banshee, then got her body back and just kept on being a ranger.

Delicious!!! Be careful not to overbake. These should NOT be brown around the edges when you take them out. You may think you are undercooking them, but you're not. Once they cool they will be chewy and delicious and better than any bakery cookie you can find. My first batch was perfect but I left the second batch in too long and they weren't nearly as good.
I love the outer crunch and soft inside. I thought it was too salty. I added more chocolate and chopped cashews. That made a huge difference and they were quite popular.
A few tweaks with my second rendition, and now I'm sold on these cookies. First off, no sprinkling of salt on the top. Make sure to use 7.5 oz. of flour. Chilled the dough. Formed balls of dough and flattened to 2 inch disks. Baked at 325° for 20 minutes. Cookies were beautiful, thin, crispy at edges and a little chew in the middle....this is how my husband digs them. As for me, I kept some cookies in the oven with the door open to let out a good amount of the heat. Then I shut the oven, letting the cookies dwell until completely cool. These cookies were thin, crunchy through and through, and my version of perfection. Cheers all, Jeff
These are "puffy" on the inside and crunchy on the outside, and the Maldon Sea salt is a nice touch. I used dark choc chips instead of chunks, and they were good, but could taste more "buttery." I subbed 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour for health and it was fine. This recipe made only 20 average size cookies.
I love dark chocolate and salt so I had to try these. The texture was perfect. I have to say, however, that the salt is not for everybody. Half of my family loved these as is, while the other half loved the cookie but hated the salt.
I was skeptical when these came out of the oven flat, misshapen, and ugly--they looked nothing like the photo. But they are delicious, and have a great chewy texture. I just wouldn't plan on sharing these with anyone else, because they really aren't very good looking. But I will make them again . . . for me!!! BTW, I am a very experienced cook, and I know I didn't do anything wrong. Also, I used 71% and 63% chocolate, and was super happy with those flavors. Pecans would be a great addition, but not necessary.
no forks, was totally unimpressed and none of my regulars liked them either...big disappointment and waste of ingredients
Best cookie I ever made- had to make them twice in 3 days because the boys loved them so much. I added spiced pecans which gave a subtle cinnamon flavor, and used milk chocolate. Fabulous!
I don't love 'sicky sweet' cookies, so when I saw this recipe, I knew I had to try it. My family (and I) thought they were excellent! My 17 and 15yr old teenage boys literally 'cleaned the plate'. Passed some on to a neighbor, who promptly opened her Bon Appetit and made them later the same week. Wish they were a bit thicker, but for flavor, they can't be beat! Am making them for the teacher appreciation luncheon next week - I'm sure I'll hear rave reviews. Thanks Bon Appetit!
These cookies are excellent - slightly crunchy on the edges and moist and chewy in the middle. The sea salt gives them such a great pop of flavor! When sprinkling the sea salt on the dough before baking a lot of it fell off so I added a little to the cookies when they came out of the oven and were still soft. I used a mixture of milk and bittersweet chocolates which worked wonderfully. I will definitley be making these again.

Dear Alumni and Friends,
This fall we celebrate 125 years of Nebraska Wesleyan University. I've been dipping some more into Professor Emeritus of History David Mickey's ('39) monumental history of the school because I wanted to see how earlier anniversaries were marked.
Fifty years ago, in the fall of 1962, NWU reached its 75th anniversary. For that year's celebration, two United States senators were on hand: Carl Curtis ('29) (R-Neb.), and Gale McGee (D-Wyo.), a former member of the faculty in speech. Also present was the beloved, recently retired Professor Ethel Booth ('10).
For the 75th anniversary, Professor Booth had written a splendid, short account of Nebraska Wesleyan's early years—"Where Sunflowers Grew," a very personal history, filled with passion and opinion. Here is what she wrote about adversity:
Nebraska Wesleyan was destined to pass through two very difficult periods—one in the 1890s and the other in the 1930s. In both periods there were paralyzing, nation-wide financial depressions; devastating, prolonged drought cycles; and a combination of unfortunate local circumstances.
[A]ll of us who give life to Nebraska Wesleyan have our collective "face turned eagerly to the light."
In 2012, summer was once again very dry across Nebraska. So it's natural to think back to those earlier, much more trying epochs in Nebraska Wesleyan's history. Professor Booth told how this school reshaped and improved itself during the 1890s and again during the 1930s. And then she offered this delightful, encouraging, forward-looking summation:
The important thing is that the living school survived, with its vision undimmed and its sense of mission undisturbed. Its remarkable hold upon life can best be explained by its lasting determination to keep its feet firmly established upon eternal verities and its face turned eagerly to the light of each succeeding day.
That character certainly fits Nebraska Wesleyan in 2012 as well as it did in 1962, 1932, or 1892.
Whether your studies here were a long time ago or a short time ago; whether you are an alumnus or alumna, a friend or a parent; whether your recollections of NWU are about struggling or thriving or perhaps both—in all cases, you'll know there are still "eternal verities" about this place that transcend any differences of age. You'll know this too: now as much as before, all of us who give life to Nebraska Wesleyan have our collective "face turned eagerly to the light."
That's the light you keep glowing when you support Nebraska Wesleyan with your words, your prayers, and your gifts. For vital support in all of these forms, at the 125th again I thank you.
Yours truly,
Frederik Ohles

What's not to like: East Sussex's town has it all. There is history, the present, the future, good food, good people, plentiful culture and a great community spirit. Quirks abound from the architecture (and those mathematical tiles) to the locals. It is the largest town in the country within a national park (ah, to be nestled by the South Downs) with a vibrant arts scene (from screen prints, web businesses to Glyndebourne). Bonfire is often the heart of the town and it is of little surprise that it inspired such men of might like Tom Paine (of whose writings in turn inspired Barack Obama's inaugural speech). And it even has its own currency!

I discovered this little piece of heaven on holidays this year. It's a place on the Sunshine Coast in Canada, and I fell in love with it so much, I have gone back twice already. Both times that I caught a glimpse of the view, I got goosebumps and my eyes welled up with tears. In other words, I experienced 2 pure moments of "WOW."
I think as we get older we have less of these wow moments. Think about it, children can discover multiple new things in a day that WOW them, but as time passes we have higher expectations and sadly less new experiences. So a "WOW" when you're my age is extra special.
So let me ask you this, can you recall those moments when you have experienced something so "out of the park" amazing that it took your breath away? Maybe the birth of a child, an incredible gesture of kindness or a beautiful view? Now think about your business. This business that you chose to leave corporate life to do. This business that allowed you to pursue your passion. Now, let me ask you, "when you look at what you are delivering to your customers" are you delivering, (I mean TRULY delivering), that WOW?"
I was recently reading a great book that really brought this topic home. It's called "Platform" by Michael Hyatt and he suggests that the definition of a successful business is one that recognizes when the Wow is absent and refuses to settle for anything less. So today I'd like you to think about what you could do to blow the minds of your customers. To cause them to experience such a rush of positive emotions that they are bursting to tell others about you and/or your offerings.
Here's some ways that hopefully will help you think of how you can go that extra mile.
Over Deliver – Review what you currently offer verbally, in your proposals, in your printed materials and on your website. Now offer something that increases the value by at least 25% for absolutely nothing. This could be a bundle of your favorite books, unlimited email access to you, an additional program that is super popular, a VIP only event….the options are endless.
Up Your "New Customer" Experience – When a new client comes on board do you do something to truly welcome them with open arms. How do you present your products and services? Do you include a welcome gift? Do you outline next steps clearly? Do you have special touches or privileges for your customers? Consider setting out a budget for a new customer just to put towards packaging, additional time spent with them and/or a special gift or special delivery. Go way beyond what a competitor is doing.
Up Your Communications – How often do you talk to your customers after the initial purchase and in what fashion? Consider mixing up sending them thank you's or reminders or cards in the mail with emails, phone calls and even a personal meeting. If your competitors send Christmas cards, send Christmas chocolates or a Christmas basket. Send them thoughtful information or connect them with another useful resource.
Thank them when they leave – as small business owners, we can be easily offended when a customer chooses to no longer work with us. Imagine their surprise if you show gratitude even when leaving. It's very important to collect as much information from departing businesses as possible to learn what you can change and improve. Make sure you ask them and then also thank them for their business and let them know you are genuinely sorry to see them go. Ask them what they liked and what you could improve upon and then send them your thank you in the mail in the form of a handwritten card or even a small gift.
Your Challenge (should you choose to accept it)
Some say that one of the quickest way to go out of business is to invest your marketing dollars in a bad (or blasé) product or service. But it can also be tragedy to lose your passion for you business and go on day to day knowing you could do more. Make it count, be memorable and keep upping the "wow" bar. What's one thing you can start doing today to blow your customers away?
And, hey, feel free to share your "wow" moments too. I'd love to hear them.

Concert review: Caveman (with Computer Magic) brings the east coast to the no coast for a night of electro pop at the Old Rock House, Friday, March 8
The Old Rock House seemed calm towards the beginning of the night, with just enough people to fill the outer booths of the lower level. As the night went on, however, the venue slowly filled up for the two bands that brought their indie New York sounds to St. Louis.
The night kicked off with an experimental electronic band that provided an almost vintage sci-fi movie vibe to the venue. Usually a four-piece band, Computer Magic played as a duo made up of Danielle Johnson on vocals and keyboard with Ignacio Rivas Bixio playing drums in place of the usual Chris Egan, who unfortunately had to miss the tour after an allergic reaction to hot dogs. The two artists combined created a sound of modern electro pop with just enough of a touch of the '80s era that would have had the dance floor in motion if the set was a little later and the blood alcohol content of the crowd was a tad higher.
Computer Magic made for an enjoyable warmer to start things up. Johnson stood behind her keyboard, Boss pedal and Macbook system composing the dreamy, toe-tapping tunes as Bixio beat the drums equipped with his bold white headphones on his head and tall white russian by his side, half full by the end of the set. After breaking down their set up and refilling their drinks, they joined the audience in the waiting game for the headliners.
After a little bit of down time, Caveman suddenly occupied the stage. The five piece from Brooklyn was performing for the first time in St. Louis, and the now packed venue gave the musicians a warm riverboat welcome as their synth heavy sounds filled the room. Caveman front man Matthew Iwanusa playfully caught a drumstick bounced off the ground and yelled into the crowd, "We don't only play music!" Their carefree stage presence matched the chill, sometimes soothing, sometimes haunting east-coast indie rock sounds that poured out from their instruments. Guitarist James Carbonetti and bassist Jeff Berrall were very much a team, feeding off each other's energy as they created the framework of the music along with keyboardist Sam Hopkins and drummer Stefan Marolachakis.
The band's talent truly shined when Iwanusa set down his white guitar with the body bearing a bucking Cowboy for a pair of drumsticks. The double drum songs brought about a new level of intensity, with beats so powerful that the drum sticks were used upside down to prevent breakage. This element of the show was most apparent during the incredible play through of the song, "Easy Water," as the hypnotic bass and commanding tribal drums, combined with the droning lyrics, took the crowd out of its element and lulled them collectively into a trancelike state that most people can only acquire by the use of less than legal substances and chemicals. It was truly a pivotal moment of the show.
If you didn't know it before the concert, Caveman was sure to make it known that its newest album is just around the corner, being released on April 2. With the impressive debut, "Coco Beware," behind them, time will tell if the new, self-titled album can continue to improve upon its new-wave sound, or fall to the fate of mediocrity that so many bands succumb to after a debut hit record.
Caveman left the audience wanting more as they left the stage and ventured out into the Friday night and a following off day in St. Louis, hopefully to enjoy some of the finer things this city has to offer like Cherokee Street or toasted raviolis. The two NYC bands marked St. Louis as their midway point from New York to Texas, eventually landing and performing in South by Southwest. That is, however, if they can make it through their upcoming gig at the Hi Ho Lounge in New Orleans without losing any more band members to Bourbon Street or hot dog allergies.
Concert review: The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band (with Jimbo Mathus and Alvin Youngblood Hart) gained supporters for his revolution at the Old Rock House on Thursday, March 7
Gathering up its generals for an all-out assault on the ears of the masses, Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band added Jimbo Mathus and Alvin Youngblood Hart to the ranks of the Big Damn Blues Revolution.
Taking the stage at the Old Rock House clad in camouflage pants and a black and white plaid shirt, Grammy award-winning blues master Alvin Youngblood Hart quickly tuned his resonator guitar and poured out his soul. Playing in the fingerpicking style of Charley Patton and Son House, Hart translates his life experiences into music and becomes the song rather than playing it.
Hart played a 45 minute set of his own tunes and a few Charley Patton covers, switching between his resonator guitar, a 12-string acoustic, and what looked like a Danelectro '56 Pro between songs. His slide runs over the strings with the ease and precision that only comes with time and love. I don't know if he was using any pedals to color his tone, but the low end was thick and greasy while the high end was razor sharp, which is just about as good as you can get for playing electric blues.
The first time I realized exactly what people meant by 'feeling the blues' was when I saw John Hammond, Jr. open for David Lindley a few years back. Hart's set brought back that same understanding, that it is something to be felt, not just heard. I was taken aback enough that when I approached him after the show, all I could say was "Thank you" over and over again. I'm sure he thinks I'm a bit soft in the head, but it was his playing that put me in that condition.
Jimbo Mathus was the next on the bill accompanied by his band the Tri-State Coalition. Probably best known as the guitarist for the Squirrel Nut Zippers, Mathus left his swing style behind for the blues in the late '90s and hasn't looked back since. His stage persona reminded me of a mix between Chris Barron of the Spin Doctors and St. Louis' favorite murder balladeer, Fred Friction.
Mathus's set consisted of 45 minutes of tracks from his new album "White Buffalo" and a few older cuts, along with a few Charley Patton tunes. The Tri-County Coalition is a quartet consisting of Matt Pierce on the Telecaster, Terrence Bishop playing bass, Eric Carlton on keyboards and accordion and Ryan Rogers on the drums.
Musically, the band was spot on the entire night. I especially noticed that Terrance Bishop was playing sparse bass lines while the rest of the band was in full swing, which complimented the songs worlds more than if he'd been playing a hundred notes a minute. Matt Pierce was no slouch either. I still don't know how he was making some of those pedal steel licks come out of his Telecaster without stomping on a mess of pedals.
Mathus himself is no slouch on the guitar, playing with the same fingerstyle technique as Hart and Peyton. His songs were full of tongue-in-cheek humor and a hint of sadness, which was often overshadowed by the mid-tempo pace the band was keeping. The harder rocking "White Buffalo" was a notable change in pace, one that I would have liked to have seen in some of the other songs. While they sound great at a jogging pace, there was some serious power on stage when they cranked it up a notch.
The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band was the next up, bounding on stage as the crowd roared with excitement. The Rev grabbed his resonator guitar and flashed his ear to ear grin to the crowd before ripping into the first song of the evening.
Reverend Peyton is one of those guitar players who is so masterful at his craft that you really have no concept of how difficult the style in which he plays really is. After a few songs, he stopped to explain that he plays country blues or rural blues, which is a dying art "because it's hard to do." He explained further, stating that in country blues the thumb of the picking hand plays the bass while the fingers play the lead and melody parts. To give an example that everyone would understand, he then proceeded to play both the bass and lead horn parts of Henry Mancini's theme to the T.V. show "Peter Gunn" at the same time. Peyton is known for "showing off" as he calls it, and whether it is the display tonight or his playing "Dixie" and "Yankee Doodle" at the same time, it is something that needs to be seen to be believed.
Concert review: The Royal Southern Brotherhood deals a rock 'n' blues royal flush at the Old Rock House, Sunday, February 17
Outside the windows that illuminate stage left of the Old Rock House, a train rolled forward with slow determination over the dark Mississippi to a destination unknown. The Arch rose up in the background as the Royal Southern Brotherhood took the stage and the crowd gave them a warm, enthusiastic welcome.
Before the quartet started, the crowd pledged, "I solemnly swear to spread the word that St. Louis rocks the blues." We were now anointed into the brotherhood and ready to enjoy the talents of Devon Allman (guitar, vocals), Cyril Neville (vocals, percussion), Yonrico Scott (drums), Charlie Wooten (bass) and Mike Zito (guitar, vocals). Labeled as a "super group," Royal Southern Brotherhood is built on the individual talents of each of these formidable artists, not simply the history their famous names carry. And while they each claim different places as their homes, local roots were strong on that stage, too.
Mike Zito is from St. Louis and rightfully proud of it. Before the music started, Zito took a picture of the crowd and told us repeatedly that it was great to be home. He also revealed to us that Devon Allman, son of Greg Allman, has roots in St. Charles so they "must be doing something right up there" he said, to laughter from the crowd.
The crowd exuded appreciation, awe and even a little selfish ownership. The show started with "Fired Up," the second track from the band's self-titled release. On this uptempo, upbeat rock song the percussion really shined under the masterful hands of Neville. The Caribbean vibe made it feel like you were seeing them at a summer music festival, if you could successfully suspend February's cold reality.
Neville's inner showman came out during "Moonlight over the Mississippi." He was the consummate bluesman as he sang from the gut about getting back to his woman. Charlie Wooten's bass took over and the deep, round plunk, plunk of the notes gave sound to each footstep along the banks of the river. The group did several covers, including "Melissa." Zito and Allman's guitars came together and harmonized so beautifully during this song that you almost wished they would unplug and play quietly for awhile.
Zito and Allman took turns on vocals. Allman opened the show with his band, also comprised of several local talents and really warmed up the crowd. In his opening set, he gave the audience a taste of the Southern rock sound that's in his DNA. While Allman's voice is forceful, yet smooth, Zito's is rougher around the edges. Those edges make his voice interesting and a nice foil to Allman's.
Two Grammy winners stood on the stage, and Yonrico Scott was one of them (Neville, the other). During a break, each band member did a solo and left the stage to Scott who really gave us all he had. He played with a mischievous grin on his face, like he was having the best time in the world and didn't ever want to stop. His beats called out to the crowd and we called back. It was just one of many examples of the sincere connection between these performers and their audience. If there was one theme that united this performance, it was that feeling of happiness and joy. It hung in the air, from the first song in the opening set to the last note of the night.
As Cyril Neville told us, "I'm feeling the love, St. Louis."
Concert review and set list: Cellist Ben Sollee (with Justin Paul Lewis) fights off stereotypes at the Old Rock House on Saturday, February 16
When most people think of the cello, they think of classical music or symphonies. Ben Sollee breaks those stereotypes and brings his instrument to a whole new level.
Show opener Justin Paul Lewis crept up onto the Old Rock House stage and began his solo-acoustic set without warning. Lewis' take on the singer-songwriter genre was drastically different from what I'm used to hearing. He treats the guitar as a percussion instrument, producing shucking beats and heavily muted chords with his finger-style technique.
Lewis treats his vocals as another form of instrumentation, delivering his stories with a mumbled rhythm as if he were talking in his sleep and describing his dreams in real-time. The only comparison I can really draw is that he sounds like Tom Waits without the ravages of whisky and poor life choices warping his vocal cords. He spent the majority of his set hunched over his guitar, bobbing around and crooning while playing and whistling the horn lines his trumpeter, who was not with him at this show, usually added to his set.
Lewis' motions were as mesmerizing as the songs themselves, almost a performance art piece in and of themselves. He got the crowd involved with the show by clapping the beat to a funky slow jam of Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel" before bringing Ben Sollee up on stage for a great performance of "Salt" from his most recent recording "Rinse, Repeat, Rewind."
Ben Sollee was the next up, sharing the stage with drummer Jordon Ellis. I had not heard anything that he had performed before the show and opted to check him out based on a recommendation from singer-songwriter Erin McKeown, who occasionally raves about him on Twitter.
Sollee is a classically trained cellist that often forgoes the usual classical song structure to breathe new life into an old instrument. That was apparent from the first tune, which consisted of bowing and plucking a rhythm that would be equally at home on a New Order album. Every song seemed to shift in style from synth-pop to jazz to R&B and hip-hop grooves thrown in for good measure. Although there was a broad array of styles in play, the transitions were smooth as silk and nothing seemed out of place.
Over the course of the show, Sollee primarily kept to his cello with a change to octave mandolin for a couple of tracks halfway through the set. His vocals seemed to have a heavy lean toward the singing-storyteller style of Paul Simon, the words sung with a warm tenor that exuded wisdom beyond his years. When he was really getting into the groove Sollee would start to yelp and shout with joy, reminding me of the shouts that accompany "Better Git It in Your Soul" from the Charles Mingus album "Mingus Ah Um."
There was also a strong jazz influence in the drumming of Jordon Ellis, who has more beats than Schrute Farms. He was running from hip-hop grooves to jazz riffs and filling the air with sounds that accented Sollee's cello runs without stepping over or falling behind the beat.
Concert review: Carrie Rodriguez shares a little heart and soul at the Old Rock House on the eve of Valentine's Day, Wednesday, February 13
There is nothing quite like the emotion that pours out of a singer-songwriter when she's plying her trade. Carrie Rodriguez filled the room with love of her songs and her audience Wednesday night at the Old Rock House.
Before the show began, guitarist Luke Jacobs threw some old-time tunes on the record player that was set up at stage right, setting the mood as he moved slowly and deliberately around the stage making sure that the instruments were tuned up and ready to go.
Carrie Rodriguez took the stage without much fanfare, smiling from ear to ear as she grabbed her fiddle and said hello to the crowd. Without wasting any time, Luke grabbed his guitar and started strumming the chords to the first tune of the evening.
The pair ran through a bit of Carrie's recorded output, from a very powerful "Seven Angels on a Bicycle" and "She Ain't Me," to a handful of tracks from her latest album "Give Me All You Got." There were a pair of covers in the mix as well, a fantastic duet of Merle Haggard's "Today I Started Loving You Again" and an encore of "La Puñalada Trapera," a staple of her mariachi singing great-aunt, Ava Garza.
This was one of the best sounding shows I've seen at the Old Rock House. Josh was running the board and did a fantastic job of capturing the power of Carrie's voice and the subtle nuances of her fiddle playing. Luke's acoustic guitar was about as perfectly balanced tonally as you can get and his electric had an overdriven fuzz with tone as thick as a baby's arm.
Carrie was in excellent form, her fiddle expressing mournful cries and exuberant joy often in the same song. She also played a little guitar and plucked out a few songs on her Epiphone Mandobird, which I covet almost as much as Quintron's Rhodes/Hammond combo. Vocally she has a strong country flavor, along the lines of Zoe Muth or Carrie Underwood. The passion that she puts into her lyrics translates into her singing, giving her an edge above most female country vocalists that you hear on most of the corporate stations.
Carrie and Luke have been playing together for a long time, something that was obvious in their performance. They weave their solo parts in and out of the framework of the songs with precision, each one complimenting the other's parts without competing or fighting for dominance. They are comfortable with the songs but don't come off as stale or over-rehearsed.
The between song banter was also enjoyable, none of it forced and all of it given with an ear-to-ear grin. It is obvious that Carrie loves what she does and appreciates her fans, something that translates into everything about her performances. Luke's story of how the tour poster was created was both comical and a reminder of why you should never make deals after a night of drinking.
Oddly enough, the last time Carrie Rodriguez came through St. Louis was two years ago almost to the day. She was on the Acoustic Café tour sharing the stage with Erin McKeown, Tania Elizabeth and Mary Gauthier. I reviewed that show as well, my biggest complaint of that night being that the individual sets were too short.
Now that I have seen Carrie play a full set by herself, I can say that my instincts were right. Although it took two years for her to return, the same fire and passion still burns in her voice and fiddle.
Concert review: Big Sam's Funky Nation and the Funky Butt Brass Band join forces at the Old Rock House, Friday, February 8
On Friday night, St. Louis got primed for Mardi Gras, courtesy of a throw-down from New Orleans' Big Sam's Funky Nation and St. Louis' Funky Butt Brass Band.
Turning the Old Rock House into a purple, gold and green celebration, both bands brought the funk and turned it up for the dance floor. More importantly the night served as the annual ball for the Mystic Knights of the Purple Haze, who happened to be celebrating 25 years as St. Louis' premier Mardi Gras krewe. It was a night that made everyone from housewives, businessmen, thirty-nothings, hippies and punks move with the joy of music and celebration that can only come from New Orleans.
The tone of the night was set by the Funky Butt Brass Band. The group brought its own style of funk fused with second-line brass band and turned the Old Rock House into a rent party. The veterans grooved with their take of the New Orleans sound but really hit their stride when they channeled James Brown and his Famous Flames. It was in those moments that the band truly shined.
As Big Sam's Funky Nation took the stage the party took off. As the band kicked into the first song, it felt like a fighter jet had taken off inside the walls of the Old Rock House. Those that were expecting a classics like "Hey Pocky A-Way" or "Jock-O-Mo" might have been disappointed; if so, the disappointment only lasted a few seconds. The band kicked in and they were there not only to make your booty shake but to give you a show.
Big Sam's Funky Nation is led by former Dirty Dozen Brass Band trombonist Sammie "Big Sam" Williams. The name Big Sam is appropriate, not only for the the actual size of the man but for the sound that he and his band produce, a sound that has the power and fury of great metal and punk but consists of deep funk. Producing a groove that had everyone in a frenzy. Even if you were sitting in the back of the club there was no way that this sound could keep you from sitting still. The band was in town to party and take the crowd on a funk and rock journey, one that echoed the grooves and sounds that could only be conjured up if you were to make a hybrid of Fishbone, the P-Funk, Maceo Parker and the Ohio Players.
Topping off the evening was Funky Butt's Aaron Chandler and Adam Hucke jumping on stage to trade licks with the Funky Nation, combining the powers of the Funky Butt Brass Band's house-party vibe with the landing of Big Sam's mothership. This was an ideal combination of both New Orleans heavy funk and St. Louis come to party attitude that made a perfect fit to end the night.
Concert review: Soul Asylum (with Miles Nielsen and the Rusted Hearts) rocks away the past at the Old Rock House, Wednesday, January 30
Despite a few bumps in the road, Soul Asylum had a great start to its 2013 tour Wednesday night at the Old Rock House.
Opening the festivities was Miles Nielsen and the Rusted Hearts. I had not heard the band before, but as soon as the vocal harmonies kicked in during show starter "Baby Blue" I knew that this was going to be a set for the record books. These guys can harmonize like the Beatles in their prime, giving me chills on more than one occasion.
Daniel James McMahon has the voice of an angel and his guitar sounds just as heavenly. Andrew Scarpaci made his bass lines seem effortless while Adam Plamann held down the keys and played some of great-sounding clarinet runs. The real star was Micky Rosenquist, one of the most dynamic drummers I've ever seen. He was playing anything and everything with whatever was in hand — mallets, mallet handles, even bashing the cymbals with his tambourine. His control over the drums was astounding, going from delicate cymbal flicks to wall-shaking thuds and all points in-between.
Miles Nielsen's guitar playing isn't as flamboyant and flashy as his father, Cheap Trick guitar-slinger Rick Nielsen, but it's beautiful in its subtlety. His voice is a warm, rich tenor — well suited for the music he performs. Whether it's an Americana-soaked ballad or a pop-rocker, the Rusted Hearts have a familiar and comforting tone about their music, not unlike Stephen Kellogg and the Sixers or "Hollywood Town Hall" era Jayhawks.
The highlight of the evening was the last song of their set, "The Best I Can," a tune sung a cappella in four-part harmony. There was silence in the crowd once they started and thunderous applause when they were finished. I'm glad to have caught this set and will be back as often as can when I see them come through town.
As Soul Asylum took the stage, Dave Pirner walked up to his guitar with a smile. Clad in ripped jeans and Chuck Taylors, he looked as if he hadn't aged a day since the peak of "Grave Dancer's Union." Unfortunately, those memories of the early '90s disappeared quickly once the band ripped into "Somebody to Shove."
The sound for Miles Nielsen was about as good as I've heard at the Old Rock House, but something had to have changed between sets. Dave's vocals were nearly inaudible (a problem for the entire set) and Justin Sharbono's guitar sounded great but was way too loud, drowning out Dave's playing as well as bassist Winston Roye and even drummer Michael Bland, who was pounding away at his kit like a man possessed.
This was the first night of their tour, so some issues are to be expected. Aside from the sound issues, my only complaint is that the band sounded stiff and somewhat lackluster while playing the classic songs like "Somebody to Shove," "Black Gold," and "Misery." The only exception to that was when they played "Without a Trace," which was dedicated to former bassist Karl Mueller, who died from throat cancer in 2005.
Despite my overall complaints, the show struck me as a net positive. What I was able to hear of the band's new stuff sounded absolutely fantastic. Soul Asylum was visibly more comfortable and energetic while playing, with smiles being flashed all over the stage. When Dave's voice cut through the mix, he sounded just like he did back in the "Grave Dancer's Union" era.
I was especially glad to see that the band played more new songs than old ones. Soul Asylum is not the same group that recorded those songs, and it's not trying to be. It was clear to me that the musicians enjoy what they're doing; focusing on the past would not have made for a good rock show.
Concert review and set list: Free Energy (with Bo and the Locomotive) unleashes an old-school dance party on the Old Rock House, Thursday, January 24
The Old Rock House was glowing as Free Energy took the stage on Friday night. Really, truly glowing.
The crowd, decked out in glow bracelets and necklaces, patiently waited through locals Bo and the Locomotive's opening set, bobbing their heads to songs new and old alike. At one point lead singer Bo Bulawsky quipped that they were about to play another new song, "Not that you would know the difference or care" before launching into a song peppered with vibrant, happy notes from the synth pushing away any possible bitterness. The band finished its set with "On My Way," the drummer and guitarist switching instruments.
But the majority of the crowd was there for Philadelphia-based rock 'n' roll outfit Free Energy, who recently self-released their second full-length record, "Love Sign." Some in the crowd (and band) looked like they had walked off the set of some "Dazed and Confused" sequel. But considering the musicians' sound, it wasn't entirely unexpected. When they joked at one point that the next song was going to be a cover of "Freebird." Had they actually played it, only the guitar solo would have sounded out of place in their set.
Free Energy's sound is infectious. From the first notes of "Backscratcher" the crowd was on its feet and moving, and by the time vocalist Paul Sprangers shimmied and sang "I'm alive and the night is young," it was clear the crowd was on the same page; the floor of the room quickly becoming a dance floor.
And with a constant theme of "tonight" and "dancing" in Free Energy's songs, it was fitting that Sprangers enthusiastically noted that "It's a Thursday night dance party in St. Louis. I feel it."
The good feelings never left the room. Even when "Dream City" took a slower, more pensive turn, the mood was quickly brightened up with a peppy chanting of "na na na na" making it easy to forget that the recording contains a saxophone — it didn't feel like anything was missing.
Following the loud, thumping of "Bang Pop" the band called for '80s high-school dance lights and slowed things down for "Dance All Night." The show ended with a two-song encore of "Young Hearts" and "Dark Trance," the punch of the line "Will you ever have enough?" lingering in the air as the band thanked the audience and walked off stage.
Free Energy set list:
Electric Fever
Free Energy
Dream City
Something in Common
Street Survivor
Hey Tonight
Bang Pop
Dance All Night
Girls Want Rock
Hope Child
Young Hearts
Dark Trance

FltPlan.com has added capability to help customers comply with new Mexico National Institute of Immigration (INM) rules mandating Advanced Passenger Information System (APIS) manifests. The new rules require "submission of information within 30 minutes of departure or after the aircraft door is closed," according to FltPlan president Ken Wilson.
Mexico implemented rules this week requiring private aircraft operators flying into or out of the country to submit advance passenger information (API) data. This mandate follows previously established API requirements for commercial operations under Mexico's National Institute of Immigration agency.
FltPlan.com said that there have been no glitches with general aviation pilots using its new pre-departure clearance (PDC) delivery system, which was rolled out in May, despite early concerns they would have difficulty interpreting PDCs. "There haven't been any instances of pilot deviations based on general aviation pilots using our system," said FltPlan.com president Ken Wilson.
Pilots of turbine-powered aircraft lacking digital datalink systems can bypass traditional ATC clearance delivery procedures and take advantage of the FAA's pre-departure clearance (PDC) option. This option requires using a PDC system developed by FltPlan.com for Internet-accessible devices such as iPads and smartphones. PDCs are available to FltPlan.com users at 70 major airports around the U.S. approximately 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time. A FltPlan.com spokesperson told AIN that just over 200 users have signed up for PDC to date.
Online flight-planning service FltPlan.com has launched a completely redesigned website. The new site, which the company said is simplified and easier to navigate, features all the same previous tools, such as weather/notams, airports and FBOs, area fuel prices, nearby airports, quick trip information, digital charts, and aircraft tracking. This is the first major redesign of FltPlan.com since it started 14 years ago. Pilots create more than five million flight plans annually using FltPlan's website and apps.
FltPlan.com is demonstrating its new Go iPad app at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh this week (at Hangar B, Booth 2002) and plans to release the new app later in August. The Go app adds many features for users of FltPlan.com's free flight-planning service, and the app is integrated with the FltPlan.com website. Go users will also be able to use FltPlan.com's e-logbook, weight and balance and pre-departure clearance features.
In the days and weeks leading up to the August 2 changes that eliminated the Block Aircraft Registration Request (Barr) program, which for a decade had allowed Part 91 operators to suppress their flight information at online flight tracking websites, a number of business aircraft pilots were eager to find an alternative. And they quickly found a free-market solution.
• Bombardier Aerospace announced it will open its first regional support office in Latin America by year-end. The full-scale RSO will be located in São Paulo, alongside the Canadian OEM's already established parts depot and authorized service facility, OceanAir Taxi Aéreo. "To compete globally you have to be prepared to commit and deliver locally," said v-p of customer services and support Andy Nureddin.
FltPlan.com, which claims to be the online flight planning and filing service of choice for three out of four turbine business aircraft operators in the U.S., expanded its coverage to Central America and most of the Caribbean islands. According to the company, pilots flying south of the border can use the same data-entry methods as for a domestic FltPlan.com plan, and the FAA accepts the flight plan, which is in the required ICAO format.
Online flight-planning provider RunwayFinder shut down on December 13 in the wake of a patent lawsuit filed by Aurora, Ore.-based FlightPrep. The patent, which was approved in December 2009 by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, applies to graphical route overlays on navigational charts via a Web page and using a remote (read Web server-based) chart database.

I don't know about you guys, but there isn't too many times where my keyboard won't suffice for whatever onscreen input I need to achieve. But if you're the type of user that watches an endless array of media, does some serious accounting and needs websites or a variety of macros at the tip of your fingerprints than you'll probably like Eclipse's LiteTouch Keyboard.
What normally is a numeric keypad has been replaced with a touchscreen LCD that has three different screens: numeric pad, media control and macro control. The first two are relatively self explanatory where as the macro mode is a user assigned button mode for whatever shortcuts or websites you need to fire up in a jiffy.
Some of the other features include backlit keys and the option for a wired or wireless version. There's no word on a price but you can expect it to arrive in stores this Spring.
