Medical marijuana security in Canada has just been tightened so as to be inaccessible to all but the most resolute companies. Since the new rules have given right to sell and dispense of medical marijuana only to licensed growers and producers, there are many companies who are interested in taking part in the business of growing weed. With the medical marijuana business expected to expand rapidly in the next few years, companies wanting a piece of the proverbial pie have deluged Health Canada with license applications.
But even with the increasing demand for medicinal cannabis, and the large number of companies seeking license to produce the drug, license approvals have been slow in coming. This is due in large part to the complexity of the medical marijuana security required of firms wishing to obtain legal producer's accreditation from the government.
Browsing through the website of Health Canada provides a glimpse of just how complex the security arrangements required of companies seeking legal grower licenses can be:
- Containment: All spaces that contain marijuana in any of its forms must be contained and access limited to essential personnel. Containment requirements are so intense that even marijuana wastes and pollen need to be controlled, the latter through special air filters.
- Intrusion: Sensors and alarms need to be installed to document possible attempts of unauthorized people to gain entry. Where such intrusions are suspected, or do happen, "appropriate response procedures" need to be in place to deal with them.
- Access Control: Access to sensitive areas containing marijuana or any of its derivatives should be protected by devices opened only through pin codes, proximity cards, swipe cards, biometric readers or passwords. Access control devices should also record the identities of people entering controlled spaces, the time and date of such entry and exit.
- Surveillance: Sensitive areas need to be adequately lighted. They also require the installation of a sufficient number of CCTV devices that operate and record video on a continuous basis. Surveillance systems should always be manned or monitored physically through a central monitoring and control center. Video surveillance records should also be backed up regularly to an offsite location.
- Records of surveillance videos, intrusion alarm systems and access control data are to be kept for a minimum of 2 years.
- Tampering: Where tampering of the signals of any of the components of the security system as a whole is suspected, an "appropriate response procedure" is required to handle them.
With that complex requirement for marijuana security, most companies will only stand a chance of obtaining the necessary marijuana security clearance with the help of security professionals. Fortunately, there is no shortage of security experts who have been providing sophisticated security systems for homes, industries, banks, schools and even military installation. There are also revised regulations introduced by the Canadian Government as discussed in the Prairie Plant Systems Inc. news.
If you represent a company interested in obtaining a legal medical marijuana grower's license, your best bet is to consult with a security expert.

"Definitely one of the best phones on the market!"Depending on personal preference, this would probably be the best phone on the market...If you like Android and are not crazy about thin smartphones. One might say that Samsung's latest Galaxy Nexus scores higher because it comes with Android 4.0, but this beast gets an update early next year.
Performance wise, the HTC Rezound is a killer. It's got a dual-core 1.5 GHz processor and 1 GB of ram and it flies.
It's display is phenomenal. Its the highest resolution display on any phone. It certainly did take long enough to beat iPhone 4's amazing pixel density of 326 pixels per inch (ppi) but this machine's got a ppi of 341! And on a 4.3 inch screen! Very impressive. It's an HD quality screen with 720*1280 on a 4.3 inch screen which is really awesome especially when compared to iPhone's sad little 640*960 on a 3.5 inch screen.
Its Design is classic HTC. Curved and beautiful, with lines very unlike other companies' designs. Also, its capacitive android buttons and speaker grille are red, like the HTC Sensation XE before it.
Its sound quality is also phenomenal, but only when you're wearing headphones. It comes with Beats Audio which really delivers a good experience. But of course it can't do much on the phone's loudspeaker, which, frankly, isn't the worlds best. But it's not really a worry, it does the job. And the sound delivered on a pair of headphones compensates.
Now, lets get to the user experience. Android, we all know is a breeze, and will get better with the 4.0 update coming soon. It's not the best looking OS but it certainly is feature packed and not exactly bad looking. Also, android, out of all other mobile operating systems has the most integration with social networks like facebook and Google plus.
The HTC Sense UI (User interface) on the android platform is certainly the best android experience you can get, in terms of looks and ease of use. The features in the lockscreen are nice (go directly to an app without unlocking the phone). Also, I rather like the animations and widgets on the homescreen. The homescreens move around like a carousel.
Typing on the HTC Rezound is a breeze. But frankly, you cant really go wrong with a capacitive touchscreen and that too, of this size.
Overall, it's a great phone and i highly recommend it. If you think a better one's gonna come out...you're probably right. But there's always gonna be a better one.

It's confession time, Barb! Many of my healthier friends are HUGE fans of fresh fruit. I'm afraid I'm not. I have had to *force* myself to try them. Peaches and pears are fruits that I have enjoyed the canned variety of since childhood. Even though I had gone from the "in heavy syrup" versions to "in natural fruit juice, no added sugar", until this week I had recoiled from fresh versions of these very good for you fruits.
I'm the same way with berries and grapes and cherries! I have had to force myself to purchase fresh strawberries and raspberries and I did manage to force myself to purchase fresh blueberries... once. Strawberries I have got used to, and they have become part of the regular rotation, especially in season.
I still haven't got around to the grapes. And I don't know if I will EVER do melons at home. But this is part of the transformation process.
WHY don't I trust fruit? I don't know. I've always been a huge veggie fan. Fruits I have often kept to the "safe" choices of bananas, apples, and oranges, and canned varieties of peaches and pears... grapes reduced to juice (even that was a step up).
But I'm working on it! And when the going gets tough, sometimes I just have to cut myself a break and say, "it is what it is". Meanwhile... this week: a fresh peach sliced into my steel cut oats, yesterday and this morning, constitutes my latest adventure into the world of fresh fruit.
During Saturday morning's bike ride break, one of the topics that came up was Meditation, and transitions in life. Becky (KALIGIRL) shared a link with all of us to a 21-Day meditation challenge on the Chopra meditation site. It's a freebie to register and participate, but they are about 1/3 of the way through by now. I ended up doing a fast-forward through the first week, which focused on "Who am I?" over the weekend.
The skeptic in me distrusts "centers" pushing particular methodologies that might be "selling stuff"... the freebie to get in the door, and then a sales pitch. However, I do have some background with relaxation exercises and yoga so I opened my thought to the experience. Some of the sessions resonated more than others, as one might expect. A couple of them were in the middle of an insomnia night, and very useful because of that. One of them shut my computer down! Surprise... something in its graphics must have been misinterpreted by my display!
This morning starts the second week with the second deep question, "What do I want?" So I started in my comfortable position, eyes closed, focus on the breathing, contemplating things like "peace", "contentment", "security", "health", "to sit here like this for quite some time"... material things don't seem to come to the fore in looking at what I really want. Breathing in and out, feeling refreshed and relaxed... and whump! Right in the middle of this... I have a lap full of purr! I was quite startled out of my inner place!
Guess The Prisoner knows what HE wants, anyway!
Life's good. Spark on!
There is a reason why just about every major religion has a day a week set aside for "rest". There is a reason why most civilized countries don't have a seven day work week. The human being needs time for reflection and rest.
Today I didn't go beyond my own backyard. Yes, I pulled a few weeds. But I also slept in to make up for some insomnia episodes, had a long phone call with a sister, and snoozed an afternoon nap into the picture too. Kitties must have thought that was a good idea, too.
This is a pensive "good news / bad news" kind of entry this morning. Yesterday I felt really good about the doctor visit. We chatted about a number of things weight / fitness related... and words came out of my mouth that gave me a start. We were talking about runs and walks, that half-marathon, the 5K gold, and the upcoming mud run.
What I said was, "things are much easier now". Not that I have more energy, just that things seem easier. My brother (MOBYCARP) had mentioned that in one of his blogs earlier in the week, too. At this lower weight, lower than I had *ever* been since high school... things are just plain easier. When I give my body the right fuel, the right training... things are just plain easier.
This does not mean that it's easy to START or to GET here. It doesn't mean activity is impossible before arrival at goal. I ran 5K's 20 years ago about 20 pounds heavier and felt good about it... but it's easier now.
Some of this is attitude, confidence. Some of it is physiological... the heart beats efficiently, the muscles do their job in whatever context. It is that functional ability that readiness that I am maintaining. I love it. I worked for it. That's the merit side of things. But while being pleased and proud of that, I am also conscious that there are folks out there working just as hard and not necessarily seeing the same results.
Here's where grace comes in: Life's not always fair in these things. Some people have higher hills to climb. They may not be able to go out and run 5K's or walk half marathons or whatever. They may have a disease or an injury that modifies their life. BUT... treating their bodies with respect, loving themselves, working on attitude has to work for them too... the "easier" word applies to the comparison between not doing and doing the healthy things we all advocate: drinking water, eating the freggies, being active... consistently as possible, not demanding perfection. All people who are giving life their best shot have my admiration and respect! Because each and every one of us is worthy of reaching whatever level of "easier" we can get to.
On the bad news side in my personal life... same day as my good doctor visit, I got e-mail from my sister, the one who has ALWAYS been good about nutrition and exercise and taken good care of herself. We have always in our family been able to say, "no history of cancer". We can no longer say that. She found a lump, had it checked out, and yesterday she got the results. While her doctor said the good words, "small", "curable", "caught early"... and says they will have this cured by the time her next mammogram would normally have been, I'd still appreciate prayers from those so inclined.
Life is full, and life is good. Spark on!
Anybody else have a doctor born after you reached "adulthood"? I found out today that mine (who has been my doctor for six or seven years) was born AFTER I got out of high school, and still hasn't seen 40! He started sporting *braces* last year. And he still looks oh, so young. Yeah, he has three young children at home, he's a good family man, and has a great patient rapport. In short, I like my doctor.
And nothing made me happier than seeing his broad grin over my weight history, particularly over the past two years. BP is great. RHR is 42-43. Everybody asks me am I a runner when they take my pulse. We'll see how the blood work comes back, but in short, he sees me as healthy, and is real happy with HOW I lost the weight, not just THAT I lost it.
So, yeah, I was super pleased to hear him say, for the second year in a row, "You have made your doctor very happy and proud."
Well, Doctor, I have made ME pretty happy and proud, too. Now don't get cocky, Barb.
Life's good... Spark on!

Before we actually begin to consider the last season of HBO's vampire hit, True Blood, we have to review where we left off. It wasn't pretty, but it did set things up for an interesting last look at our favorite characters.
Rather than go back and look at the times the series wandered way off of the beaten path, let's focus on the characters we have spent time with for 6 seasons. Let's get back to Sookie, Jason, Bill, Eric, Tara, Sam, Lafayette, Arlene, Andy, Pam, and Alcide. Sure, there are more, but these are characters we've invested in for a long time.
The last episode of Season 6 began with the vampires in the sun for the first time since they were turned. This was due to some weird magic blood crappy storyline that briefly made Bill into some kind of God. Eric had disappeared and Pam left Tara to go look for him. Bill was in a snit because he no longer had his God-like powers. He was only slightly less obnoxious than usual. Sookie was nearly married off to a vampire/fairy hybrid to ensure the survival of the vampires. Then the magic blood wore off and the vampires couldn't enjoy the sun anymore. And the only one anybody remembers is Eric Northman naked on a snowy mountaintop in a lounger with a book getting a really bad sunburn, providing brief full frontal nudity, and bursting into flames.
Halfway through the episode we all did the Time Warp and ended up six months in the future. Somehow Sam Merlotte went from bar owner to Mayor, Sookie is canoodling with Alcide, vampires and humans are forming partnerships to avoid spreading the Hep V infection. Bill is the bestselling author of a book about his God experience. (He seems as smarmy as ever.) Jason is Violet's love slave because she is probably the only being on earth that hasn't put out for him after knowing him for ten minutes.
We don't know Eric's fate. His literal "flash and burn" goes unexplained. That is one of the biggest questions hanging over the heads of True Blood fans. A last season without Eric seems wrong. Many of you consider the bottom line of pretty much everything to be, "Will Sookie end up with Bill or Eric?" Sure, she's with Alcide now… but does anybody believe that's where she'll stay? I actually think a lot of fans want Sookie with Bill because he was her first vampire love. Ew. Sorry. I have thought from day one that she belonged with Sam. Even if they both deny it.
Beyond the romantic/sexual relationships, the focus will most likely be on the Hep V rabid zombie vampires that are running loose, threatening to turn Bon Temps into a great big blood-swilling Walking Dead. I don't know about you, but as long as our favorites work together to fight the nasties, I'm looking forward to it. And I want Eric back.
What do you want for True Blood? Well, I plan to keep telling you what I want, so come on… comment away. The end is near.

moreThis internationally edited collection addresses the issues raised by multi-owned residential developments, now established as a major type of housing throughout the world in the form of apartment blocks, row housing, gated developments, and master planned communities. The chapters draw on the empirical research of leading academics in the fields of planning, sociology, law and urban, property, tourism and environmental studies, and consider the practical problems of owning and managing this type of housing. The roles and relationships of power between developers, managing agents and residents are examined, as well as challenges such as environmental sustainability and state regulation of multi-owned residential developments. The book provides the first comparative study of such issues, offering lessons from experiences in the UK, the US, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Hong Kong, Singapore and China. less

Windows 7
Domain mapped drive permissions
Hi all,
We're having a pretty major issue here with our Domain and a new Windows 7 PC. To give background, we have finally upgraded the last PC in our office to Windows 7 yesterday - the PC belonging to our Finance Director, who wanted to make sure that there were no issues at all before he migrated. I suspect we can all guess what happened...
Anyway, there is a shared drive on a colleague's machine which has permissions set up for INTRANET\<each member of the Finance dept> and INTRANET\<our FD's account>. While he was running on Windows Vista (and not on the domain), this worked like a charm, faking a connection to the domain, yadda yadda. Today, he looked at the shared folder, which he can see, but is unable to edit/create/delete anything within it. He has the exact same permissions as one of the other Finance employees (Full Control), yet it works for her account, but not for our FD. In desperation, I set "Everyone" to Full Control - still our FD can't write/edit/delete anything, and nor can another random non-Finance employee (although, again, they can view the folder and contents).
I'm completely lost at this point, and have our FD breathing down my neck - any ideas? Please? :S
Edit: And typically, the moment I post this I find out what the problem was - there is a difference between Sharing Permissions and Permissions which I was not aware of. Added in Sharing Permissions and *bam!* it was fixed. This can be deleted/locked as appropriate.

CHICAGO (AP) – The Cubs have activated reliever Carlos Marmol from the 15-day disabled list and optioned Rafael Dolis to Triple-A Iowa.
Manager Dale Sveum says Marmol will be used in a setup role and not as the closer, a job he lost to Dolis this month.
Marmol then went on the DL because of a strained right hamstring on May 12.
He was 0-1 with a 6.35 ERA in 15 appearances this season and had two blown saves in four chances before Monday's game against San Diego.
Dolis wasn't much better with a 2-4 record, 5.68 ERA and four saves in six chances.

Raineri Barolo is sweet fruited and has a relatively classic nose with a little oak influence. It has black fruit, tobacco leaf and tar notes on the notes. The grippy tannins support a core of sweet dark cherry fruit. Excellent balance between modern wine making and terroir characters.

Cleveland, OH (SportsNetwork.com) - Anderson Varejao's tie-breaking jump shot with 28.1 seconds left helped get a promising season for the Cleveland Cavaliers off to a terrific start, while simultaneously spoiling the anticipated unveiling of the Brooklyn Nets' star-studded core.
The upstart Cavaliers outplayed the experienced Nets down the stretch to come away with a 98-94 victory at Quicken Loans Arena and make head coach Mike Brown's second tour of duty behind the Cleveland bench a successful return.
Tristan Thompson netted 18 points for the Cavs, who haven't won more than 24 games in the three seasons since Brown was fired and LeBron James famously took his talents to South Beach following the 2009-10 campaign. Brown, who won 313 games and made the playoffs in all five of his seasons during his initial go-around in Cleveland, was brought back in April to mold a young Cavaliers squad that showed its considerable talents in the opener.
Star point guard Kyrie Irving overcame a 4-for-16 shooting display to chip in 15 points, nine assists and several big plays down the stretch to help Cleveland prevail.
"It was a gritty, grimy, ugly game ... just kind of how I like it," Brown remarked. "I'm sure Brooklyn doesn't feel they played their best, I know we didn't play our best. But the one thing that I expressed to our guys is offensively there were times when we looked like we were going to be juggernauts at that end of the floor."
The Nets made a giant offseason splash by landing perennial All-Stars Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett along with fellow accomplished veteran Jason Terry in a blockbuster nine-player trade with Boston. However, the expected Eastern Conference contenders couldn't get over the hump in this one after fighting back from a 10-point deficit late in the third quarter.
"Give [Cleveland] credit. They came out at home and played with great energy and enthusiasm," said Terry. "Everytime we made a run, they would answer it. For game one, we've still got a lot of work to do."
Pierce finished with 17 points and Terry made four shots from beyond the arc in a 14-point effort off the bench. Garnett scored just eight points, but pulled down a game-best 10 rebounds in the loss.
Brook Lopez paced Brooklyn with 21 points in the team's first of two games with new head coach Jason Kidd serving a suspension for a prior DUI arrest.
Cleveland began to create some distance by putting together a strong third quarter in which it shot 54.5 percent. Back-to-back buckets by Thompson put the Cavaliers up by a 73-64 score with 4 1/2 minutes to go in the period, and the lead grew to double digits late in the frame on an Alonzo Gee triple that made it a 79-69 game.
The battle-tested Nets climbed back in it, though, recording the first six points of the fourth quarter and pulling even with 7:33 to go when Terry sank consecutive treys to forge an 82-82 deadlock.
It was all knotted at 91-91 entering the final minute after Pierce buried a 3- pointer and Garnett fed Lopez for an easy layup. Irving then misfired from long range on the other end, but Earl Clark saved the rebound and Irving found Varejao open at the top of the key. The energetic center calmly swished through a 14-footer to put the Cavs back in front with 28.1 seconds left.
Pierce missed the mark on a contested shot on the ensuing possession, with Irving fouled after pulling down the rebound in traffic. The All-Star guard hit both bonus shots for a 4-point lead, then made two more with just 5.9 seconds showing after Terry's 3-point try also clanged off the iron.
"Because of our defense, that allowed us to get the win," said Brown. "I thought our guys stayed after it."
Brooklyn's new-look and well-paid starting five was impressive early on, hitting on its first four field goal attempts in jumping out to a quick 12-2 advantage. The Nets owned a 24-16 edge with three minutes left in the opening quarter, before reserves Jarrett Jack and C.J. Miles combined for all of Cleveland's points during an 11-2 run that closed out the period.
The clubs traded the lead a total of nine times during a tightly contested second quarter, with Irving sending the Cavs ahead by a 49-48 score at the break by converting a reverse layup with 28.4 seconds remaining.

Solemn season of Lent gets a jolt from Pope's resignation
Catholics who attend Ash Wednesday services today will be encouraged to tend to their spiritual side these 40 days through prayer, fasting and donations to the poor. Simultaneously, machinations will be underway at Vatican City to select a new pope, and with it a bountiful helping of speculation, politicking and intrigue.
"It's sort of a heightened sense of expectation now," said the Rev. Msgr. Anthony Frontiero, the rector of St. Joseph Cathedral who worked at the Vatican for two years during Benedict's tenure.
Nonetheless, Frontiero plans to avoid mention of the resignation during his Ash Wednesday homily today. He will offer prayers for Benedict and the College of Cardinals, which will choose his successor.
And he thinks the announcement may draw a few more people - including fallen-away Catholics and non-Catholics - to church today. The 12:10 p.m. Ash Wednesday service usually comes close to filling the Cathedral, he said.
"I hope the faithful, in light of this announcement, may reevaluate their desire to participate in the life of the church," he said.
Lent is the 40-day period leading up to Easter.
Many Catholics resolve to forgo luxuries such as sweets or alcohol, and adults are supposed to eat only one major meal on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday (although they can supplement it with two smaller meals), according to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
They are also told to not eat meat on Ash Wednesday and all Fridays during Lent. And they should pray more and give alms, or donations to the poor. During Ash Wednesday services today, priests mark the foreheads of worshippers with ashes, a sign of penitence, according to the U.S. bishops.
In Nashua, the Rev. Michael Kerper, the pastor of St. Patrick Church, said he will not mention Benedict during today's homily.
"I don't think he would want priests to do that," Kerper said. "It really doesn't fit with the tone of the service."
St. Patrick Church is located across the street from the Hillsborough County-South Superior Courthouse, and Ash Wednesday can be one of the biggest draws of the year, Kerper said.
He credits Benedict with one of the most visible changes at St. Patrick Church. Five years ago, the previous St. Patrick Church pastor started saying Mass in Latin, after Benedict gave priests the discretion to offer Mass in the ancient church language.
Now, Latin Mass is said at St. Patrick every Saturday morning and once a month on Sunday. This coming Sunday, the noon Mass will be in Latin. Kerper also says the Mass ad orientem, meaning the priest faces the front of the church along with the congregation.
Benedict was long known to be a fan of the ad orientem, Latin Mass. But even then, it took Benedict almost three years into his papacy to make that one modification, Kerper said.
"It takes years for any kind of change to happen (with a new pope)," he said.
Normally, the Vatican slows down during Lent and the pre-Christmas season, said Kevin Donovan, spokesman for the Diocese of Manchester. "It's a period of radio silence," Donovan said.
But this year will be different out of necessity, Frontiero said. The papal throne should not be vacant any longer than necessary, he said.
"I think the objective would be to have a Pope for the holy season of Easter," Frontiero said. "There's no reason not to."

Total Recall (2012) R5 DVDRip 450MB ( Single + Multiple ) Links
In Paul VerhoevenŌĆÖs wild sci-fi action movie Total Recall, Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a 21st-century construction worker who discovers that his entire memory of the past derives from a memory chip implanted in his brain. Schwarzenegger learns that heŌĆÖs actually a secret agent who had become a threat to the government, so those in power planted the chip and invented a domestic lifestyle for him. Once he has realized his true identity, he travels to Mars to piece together the rest of his identity, as well as to find the man responsible for his implanted memory. Verhoeven has created a fast, furious action film with Total Recall, filled with impressive stunts and (literally) eye-popping visuals. Though the film bears only a passing resemblance to the Philip K. Dick short story it was based on (ŌĆ£We Can Remember It For You WholesaleŌĆØ), the movie is an entertaining, if very violent, ride.

A man carried away by fast moving water in Bellevue during Friday night's heavy rain was found dead Saturday morning.
The body of 29-year-old David Farr of Bellevue was located just after 9:30 a.m. near a drainage ditch under the Kennedy Freeway south of Highway 370.
Police say a witness saw a car pull into the parking lot of the Birchcrest Apartments, drive into standing water and continue into a flooded Betz Ditch between Fairfax Road and Galvin Road South just after 11 p.m. The witness saw the driver climb out of the vehicle and float on his back, then go under and not resurface.
"From the witness account we kind of knew that it would probably be a tragic end to it, but we were glad that we were able to at least make a recovery as quick as possible," said Bellevue Police Lt. Keith Bader.
The Bellevue Fire Department was able to remove the submerged car from the ditch and found no one inside. Farr's body was recovered about a mile away.

I've figured out what America's obsession with sex is all about. It's all about selling newspapers. What a person's sexual orientation is or what sexual position they prefer or "whatever". Just stop reporting this nonsense.
The next thing we'll learn is how often someone in the public eye has sex and the time of day that they prefer.
What a farce of a political "family".
God damn these useless parasites and their gender, race and victim identities.

The FAA is awarding a total of $7.7 million in contracts to eight companies–Honeywell UOP, LanzaTech, Virent Energy Systems, Velocys, Honeywell Aerospace, Metron Aviation, Futurepast: Inc. and Life Cycle Associates–to help advance alternative commercial jet fuels.
While on my way to work a couple of weeks ago, I stopped at a gas station and filled up my car. As I headed back onto the parkway, the engine started running rough and less than two miles later it shuddered to a stop. Knowing the eight years of wear and tear I had put on the car, I sighed as I called the tow truck, believing the grasp of mechanical old age was finally putting its inevitable squeeze on my car and wallet.
Hawker Beechcraft's turbine-powered aircraft are approved to use biofuels, a renewable resource that can help reduce the use of fossil fuels and minimize carbon emissions. The biofuel must meet American Society for Testing and Materials International (ASTM) turbine fuel standards to be eligible.
Aviation fuel-planning software provider Fuelerlinx is on hand at NBAA to demonstrate the latest features of its product. The San Francisco-based company's newest enhancement is an interactive route map called Axiom Fuel Planner, which displays operators' own negotiated contract fuel prices.
Embraer and GE recently held a series of test flights in an E170. The tests, flown out of Embraer's Gavião Peixoto facilities, benchmarked the operational characteristics of the airplane and its GE CF34-8E engines when powered by HEFA (hydro-processed esters and fatty acids) fuel under a broad range of unique flight conditions.
A revised specification issued by standards organization ASTM International establishes requirements for the use of biofuel blends in conventional jet fuel, facilitating wider use of cleaner-burning "renewable" fuels made from plants.
At last week's Paris Air Show strong examples of leadership in efforts to reduce air transport's environmental footprint came from two sources that, at least in the eyes of sometimes sanctimonious European observers, have not been seen as being at the vanguard of such moves: the U.S. and business aviation. During the administration of former President George W. Bush, the U.S.
Here we are, 41,000 feet in the air, sailing along at a little more than 476 knots and a little more than halfway from Morristown, N.J., to the Paris Air Show. We've got a biofuel blend of Honeywell's finest and jet-A feeding engine one and straight jet-A in the other. The G450's Rolls-Royce engines appear to be perfectly happy on a diet of either, and the flight is as smooth as a glass-top table.
What does it take to make a million barrels of "green" oil a day? According to San Diego, California-based Sapphire Energy (Hall 3 E118), the answer lies in combination of new environmentally friendly technologies. Sapphire aims to be producing about 67 barrels (2,800 gallons) of its fuel per day by 2014. By 2018, it hopes to be producing between 5,000 and 10,000 barrels of green crude per day.

Measles Alert - Check your immunisation status
There has been a worrying increase in the number of measles cases in students in the upper North Island, with a large outbreak in Hamilton schools. Measles is likely to continue to spread in the North Island for many months.
With mid term break and the July school holidays lots of people may travel to Auckland and Waikato. Other activities where people may come in contact with someone in the early stage of measles include sports tournaments, on the ski fields, or travelling to Vietnam or the Philippines where there are on-going measles outbreaks.
Immunisation is your best protection.
We recommend that all students aged 18 – 23 years (born 1991 to 1996) contact their family doctor to confirm they have had TWO doses of measles vaccine. Between 1991 and 1996 was when the second MMR vaccine was changed from 11 years to 4 years.
Student Health can provide vaccine boosters and advice.

Are far away
And I'm so blue,
What'll I do?
What'll I do when I
Am wondering who
Is kissing you,
What'll I do?
What'll I do with just
A photograph
To tell my troubles to?
When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true,
What'll I do?

"The busy season has started. So, there is a huge credit demand and banks are scrambling for deposits. Deposit rate, I think, will go up and, accordingly, lending rates can also go up, said SBI chairman Pratip Chaudhuri, immediately after newly appointed RBI governor Raghuram Rajan announced the monetary policy. The central bank announced a 75-bps reduction in marginal standing facility (MSF) for banks to 9.5%, while hiking repo rate by 25 bps to 7.5%.
RBI also said that banks will have to now maintain 95% of the cash reserve ratio (CRR) requirement on a daily basis against 99% earlier.
While the measures are cumulatively expected to reduce the cost of bank borrowings from the RBI and the market, they may fail to negate the impact of tight liquidity conditions emerging from a recent pick-up in credit growth.
"Base rates may rise, but not because of the policy, but because people have taken one-year deposits at 10.5%; short-term deposits are even higher than that. So, that cost might be reflected in the base rate," said HDFC Bank MD & CEO Aditya Puri.
Credit growth has been steadily rising over the last three fortnights and touched 18% as higher yields in corporate bond market have pushed companies to borrow from banks instead of non-convertible debentures (NCD) and commercial paper (CP). Non-food credit grew at the fastest pace in over a year at 18.40% y-o-y to R55,11,822 crore for the fortnight ended September 6. Experts say the current steps may reduce short-term rates, but will jack up long-term rates by 15-20 bps.
Large banks such as SBI, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank and HDFC Bank have already raised lending rates, owing to the increased cost of funds. SBI raised its base rate on Thursday by 10 bps to 9.8%, while ICICI Bank and Axis Bank had raised their's by 25 bps each to 10% and 10.25%, respectively, last month. HDFC Bank had also raised its minimum lending rate by 10 bps to 9.8% last month.
UCO Bank CMD Arun Kaul said even though the rates in the call money might cool down to the extent of 9.50% from 10.25% after the cut in the MSF, demand in credit is already outpacing the deposit growth and, due to the festive season, this might become more glaring and force banks to raise rates.
Even, lenders like Bank of India and Oriental Bank of Commerce (OBC), which had not raised their rates, might have to do so after the RBI policy decision. Bank of India had cut its base rate on July 3 by 25 bps to 10%, while OBC had rolled back its 25 bps base rate cut decision on July 19.
For 8-10 days, you will not see any action on rates, though those that had reduced their base rates may reverse their steps, said OBC CMD SL Bansal.

My Top Secret Meeting with One of Silk Road's Biggest Drug Lords
Dread Pirate Roberts captained a ship that many thought was unsinkable. But when the FBI seized the original Silk Road on October 1, 2013 ,and arrested the alleged kingpin—29-year-old Ross Ulbricht—the online drugs empire began to capsize. Its hundreds of thousands of customers scattered across the Deep Web, and up to seven known Silk Road vendors were identified and arrested.
As the chaos unravelled into the mainstream and stories of Dread Pirate Roberts' (DPR) alleged murder-for-hire antics made headlines, one prominent Silk Road drugs syndicate sat in their European safe-house with a ton of opium and a decision to make—would they cut their losses and disappear into the ether while they were still ahead, or keep their lucrative online drugs network running in the midst of all this extra attention?
The displaced drugs syndicate, known on the Deep Web as the Scurvy Crew (TSC), decided to go back to work. For them, back to work meant laundering Bitcoins, vacuum packing drug parcels, and jumping the Moroccan border with bags stuffed full of uncut drugs. Silk Road may have died a sudden death at the hands of the authorities, but as one of the highest rated vendors before the FBI shut-down, the Scurvy Crew saw its demise as an opportunity to diversify.
After six months of negotiation, via encrypted email and several phone calls from throwaway SIM cards, the boss of the Scurvy Crew agreed to meet me. He told me he would explain to me the inner workings of his Deep Web drugs venture, from its humble beginnings to the near million-dollar profits it now apparently generates. Known to me only by the pseudonym "Ace," the boss claimed to represent a new breed of drug dealer.
"I don't do this just for the money," he wrote to me via email. "I like to provide a premium service."
The Rise and Rise of the UK's Student Drug Dealers
If the greatest architects, theorists, and social planners who've ever lived were revived to design the perfect marketplace for drug dealers, they'd come up with a dorm. A nest stuffed with trainee adults, bankrolled by mom and dad, waiting like baby birds with their beaks wide open for their next life-changing experience. Dealers might not be allowed to actually vomit the drugs into the mouths of students, but dorms—which are often called "halls" in the UK—nontheless remain a drug merchant's wet dream. Which is why they've been living in them for decades.
Nearly three quarters of Britain's 2.5 million university students have taken illegal drugs. So it follows that somebody has to be there feeding the country's future politicians, business leaders, and unemployed actors their weed, MDMA, cocaine, and ketamine (that last substance is up to ten times more likely to be used by students than non-students).
In fact, the student drug market is so sought after that dealers have been known to enroll in colleges specifically to take out student loans and sell drugs on campus. Then, of course, there are all the student dealers—those who begin their higher education with good intentions, but realize that working at a bar isn't much fun and start selling drugs as a source of quick cash. If you live in halls and don't know who this guy or girl is yet, take it as a sign that you should get some more friends.
Good News, Drug Users: Silk Road Is Back! VICE Got a Sneak Peek
Silk Road has risen from the dead. After the FBI seized the deep web's favorite illegal drug market and arrested its alleged founder Ross Ulbricht last month (for, among other things, ordering a hit through his own website), the online-marketplace-cum-libertarian-movement has found a new home and opened for business today at 11:20 AM EST.
In the wake of the original Silk Road's closure, everything became a little turbulent for its users. First, they had to get used to not getting high-quality, peer-reviewed drugs delivered direct to their sofas. (Though presumably they didn't stop getting high, instead forced back to the "mystery mix" street dealers and surly ex-Balkan war criminals who have spent years filling cities with drugs at night.) Some users were pissed off that they'd lost all the Bitcoin wealth they'd amassed, or that paid-for orders would go undelivered, while small-time dealers freaked out about how they suddenly lacked the funds to pay off debts owed to drug sellers higher up the food chain.
Viable Silk Road replacements have been few and far between. Project Black Flag, one marketplace purportedly created to fill the void, appears to have been a scam. The site's owner recently closed up shop and made off with a load of Bitcoins without sending any product out to customers. Another alternative, Sheep, has been plagued with security worries, with many vendors deciding to hold off until a more stable site is launched.
I Have Dated Several Crack Dealers
The source of this story, who lives in Canada, wished to remain anonymous for fairly obvious reasons.
Just last week, I was at a trap house with my ex in Cloverdale, British Columbia. The front door was covered in what looked a lot like bullet holes, but I'm not sure. There were a lot of unexplainable holes in the wall. Some of the holes were so big I could almost fit through them. The whole place smelled faintly like ammonia and dirty laundry. I was hanging out in the living room while they were all in the kitchen. On one burner they were cooking crack and on the burner next to it, they were cooking dinner. I think that's kind of funny, but I also couldn't help but wonder why I was there? I mean, it's not like I seek this shit out, or anything. I think I just attract it.
Crack dealers tend to approach me. I'm not chasing them down. It's not like I ever said to myself, "I'm going to date crack dealers now!" But when you meet one, you meet a lot of others. And then you just start dating.
I've met some of them through friends, some I've met randomly at the club, or at a bar, or on the street. I don't smoke crack. I'm not about that. I've never tried it, probably never will. I guess I date them because I like their personalities. Maybe it's because I thought it would be exciting—but it's actually kind of boring. They always want to chill at home. They're always so tired. They don't want to do anything. They barely have time to sleep, let alone have fun.
The first time I was approached by a crack dealer, I was 19 and at a party somewhere in East Vancouver. He was a friend of a friend. I thought he was really tough. He had muscles and he was wearing a shirt with no sleeves. I liked that. We dated for a couple of years. He was actually my last serious boyfriend. No one's held me down like that since.
Adrian Grenier and Matthew Cooke on How to Make Money Selling Drugs
Also, what the fuck did you do today?
VICE: What are some tips for getting away with selling drugs?
Matthew Cooke: Well, like any other product, you try and bring it to market and try to sell it. You already have a ready-and-waiting customer base that wants the drugs. All you have to do is pull them out and… start.
Don't Get Caught: I've Spent 8+ Years in the System for a Nonviolent Felony
I'd been involved in selling drugs since I first smoked weed when I was 13. It just made sense to me that in order to have the money to use drugs, I'd have to sell some, too. I never thought I was doing anything wrong—my entrepreneurship put smiles on a lot of faces, and I did it better than most people 'cause I showed up on time and wasn't a greedy, lying scumbag. I did abuse my stash pretty frequently, but I had enough self-control to avoid going off the deep end.
As a kid, I attended elite prep schools, played hockey year-round, and wound up getting accepted into Skidmore College, where, smooth as silk, I kept selling narcotics, mostly to my fellow students. Soon, I was HOOKED, living lovely off all that drug loot. I drove all around the Northeast like a madman, bartering and hustling coke, weed, X, shrooms, and whatever else seemed like a good flip. (I stayed away from dope and crack, though—you have to draw the line somewhere.)
I was so cocky—I never actually thought the pork-chop patrol would come after me. I ignored the illegality of what I was doing and didn't care about my well-being enough to investigate or even pay attention to the laws. But as I soon learned, the law was paying lots of attention to me.
On a seemingly normal Friday night in February 2004, I was outside a Barnes & Noble with my older brother and his son when I got tagged by an undercover cop who looked like an upstate trailer-park stick-up kid. In retrospect, I wish he had robbed me for all my money instead of cuffing me in front of my six-year-old nephew. At that moment, my brain was spiraling through a million made-up explanations for my arrest instead of accepting the nightmarish reality of what was about to happen next. The pigs had a search warrant, and they took me back to my crib to rifle through my head stash, which was substantial enough to get me charged with five felonies and, potentially, 12 to 25 years in prison. I was 23 years old.
I spent the night in county jail and then, thankfully, was released on bail to await my trial. At the time, I was in my last semester of college and had been as excited as a nip-sucking piglet to finally graduate with all of my peoples. The future was so bright, and unlike most of my fellow students, I was in the black: I had a ton of money saved. I had already booked my plane tickets and hotel reservations to go to Italy with my girlfriend. But not anymore. Whatever the outcome of the trial, I knew my parents would be devastated (way more than I was), and I'd probably be kicked out of school.
I ended up taking a plea bargain. I was sentenced to three to nine years in state prison. My lengthy sentence was at least partially a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time—'04 was an election year, and the politicians in Saratoga Springs, where I was living and dealing, thought the town had a drug problem. The district attorney who prosecuted me probably figured nabbing a college student "involved in a drug-trafficking ring from New York City" (as the local paper referred to me) was a good demonstration that the city was tough on crime. They made an example out of me.
I took the plea deal in August, and they told me I was going to jail in October. Because I was at home, living in my own apartment, I spent that summer in an awkward sort of hell—I was technically free, but soon not to be. Every day that passed inched me closer to The End. It was such an awful countdown—never before or since in my life have I wanted time to stand still.
When the morning of that loathsome day arrived I was already running late, stumbling out of my girl's apartment, hungover and sleep-deprived. I left my bonerabelle sobbing uncontrollably in the bed. She couldn't handle going to court and watching the police take me away. We'd been together a couple years, and this was the most horrible way imaginable to say good-bye. Only death would've been worse.
I found my parents parked on the street, waiting, already lockjawed with tears in their eyes. They were so caring that they had even temporarily moved to Saratoga Springs, renting an apartment for a few months to watch over me while I was out on bail, making sure I didn't do anything stupid before I was sent away, which I probably would have if they weren't there. I still cringe over the pain I put my father and mother through. I felt like the Human Turd.
Ever wonder how to sell $100,000 worth of drugs in a week? We learned the secrets of the biggest drug dealer in NYC - a man who will deliver any substance you want, 24/7. He told us everything - from where he gets his drugs to how his crew operates. Come with us as we take a rare look into the dangerous life of a NYC drug delivery-man.

The Report of a working group on the configuration of indicators to monitor progress towards open access in the UK has now been published and is available here.

Access to Research in Public Libraries
The new scheme to provide walk-in online access to scholarly journals free of charge in public libraries was launched yesterday. Publishers of over 8,700 journals are already participating in the programme, and the number of libraries providing access in this way is growing rapidly. You can find out more about the scheme on the Access to Research website
Government responds to Finch Group review of progress
David Willetts has written to Dame Janet Finch responding positively to the recommendations made in the Finch Group's review of progress in implementing the recommendations of its original report published in June 2012
Impact of Jisc Managing Research Data programme
In collaboration with Loughborough University, RIN has undertaken a high-level analysis of the initial impact of the Jisc Managing Research Data (MRD) programme. This takes the form of a mapping between the deployment of research data management (RDM) policies and practices in UK universities (as described in a recent Loughbrough study covering 38 institutions), and the incidence of institutional project funding from the Jisc MRD programme.
The brief analysis is described in a series of posts on Loughborough University's Research Data Management blog (see entries dated 8, 26 and 27 November). Not surprisingly, this suggests correlation between the RDM-readiness of institutions and those that have received Jisc funding from the programme over its duration, between 2009 and 2013.
This is no more than an initial assessment, and we welcome reactions about how further work might be undertaken to provide robust evidence on the benefits of the Jisc programme. For further information, please contact [email protected] .
Implementing the recommendations of the Finch report
Accessibility, Sustainability, Excellence: A Review of Progress in Implementing the Recommendations of the Finch Report
The Working Group on Expanding Access to Published Research Findings – the Finch Group – has today published a review of progress in implementing the recommendations of its original Report which was published in June 2012. That original Report – Accessibility, Sustainability, Excellence: how to expand access to research publications – recommended a series of measures to accelerate and manage a transition to open access (OA) over an extended period that would be characterised by a mixed economy that would provide OA via a variety of routes, along with extensions to current licensing arrangements.
The review is based on a rigorous analysis of evidence from a wide range of sources. It finds that research funders, universities, libraries, learned societies and publishers have all made substantial moves to facilitate and promote the transition to the kind of mixed economy we advocated. The policy positions adopted by the Government, Research Councils UK, and the UK Funding Bodies – and the responses to those policies from universities, publishers and learned societies – mean that there is now real momentum behind the moves to OA across all parts of the scholarly communications system.
Much still remains to be done, of course; and in some areas, as we anticipated, the progress in implementing our recommendations has been mixed, and has given rise to issues and problems that have not as yet been fully resolved. It is important that all the key stakeholders should continue to work together to resolve those issues and to ensure that the UK continues to benefit from world-leading research communications services. Our key recommendation is that a formal co-ordinating structure should be established to avoid duplication of effort and divergent work-streams; to deal with problems as they arise; to develop an interoperable system of repositories and an infrastructure that supports both Gold and Green OA; to monitor the impact of OA policies on learned societies; to co-ordinate communications with the research community; and to oversee the collection and analysis of data from different parties in order to create the evidence base that is essential to the further development of effective policies.
Dame Janet Finch said, "I am delighted that our review demonstrates the rapid progress that has been made over the past year, and the co-operation that is evident across all the major players involved in research publications. It is pleasing that all parties agree on the need to continue and cement that co-operation in a formal framework that I am sure will bring further progress towards the kind of open access environment that we all wish to see."
Implementing RCUK OA requirements
On behalf of RCUK, RIN has completed a report on policies and procedures adopted by universities in implementing RCUK open access (OA) requirements. This reflects developments in the university sector following the introduction of new RCUK's policies on open access. Universities have moved rapidly to set up policies and procedures to comply with RCUK requirements, and what is reported in the document is changing fast. Nevertheless, it is hoped that the findings and recommendations point to some useful lessons for the sector as a whole; and that the experiences presented in the report will provide valuable pointers to further action for the benefit of individual universities, RCUK, and the sector as a whole.

Finch report: response to Select Committe
On 10 September 2013, the House of Commons Select Committee on Business, Innovations and Skills published its report on Open Acess publishing.
Dame Janet Finch, chair of the Working Group on Expanding Access to Published Research Findings (the Finch Committee) has issued the following statement in response:
"I have read the Select Committee report with interest. Many of the conclusions are the same as those in the Finch report. We agree that there should be a carefully managed transition to the open access world, and that there should be a mixture of so called Green and Gold routes during this transition. This was the cornerstone of our own report.
However there are issues where the Select Committee appears to have misread our report, and others where we simply took a different view of the evidence and of stakeholder concerns. There are some unfortunate gaps in the Select Committee's consideration. In particular their comments on the publishing industry take no account of Learned Societies, whose publishing and other roles have been a major concern of our working group.
I am disappointed that the Select Committee did not invite me to meet them, as I might have assisted them to take into account the full range of issues which our working group had to consider.
The original Working Group is meeting again shortly to review progress on our recommendations over the past year, and we will be happy to take the Committee's views into account."
Helping to open up
On behalf of the Research Information and Digital Literacies Coalition (RIDLs), RIN has published the conclusions of a study that examines the means that are, or ought to be, deployed to help researchers acquire the knowledge, confidence and ability for them to ensure the greatest possible openness with the research data that they create. The report, entitled 'Helping to open up: improving knowledge, capability and confidence in making research data more open', supports the goal of realising an open data culture, as described notably in the Royal Society's 2012 report on Science as an open enterprise.
Helping to open up stresses the importance of ensuring that open data – with all the opportunities, risks, benefits and practices that it entails – should be more strongly integrated with training and support for research data management.
Open data in the realm of academic research is an issue which has received much attention lately, but the implications for training and skills have not always been fully considered. It is therefore hoped that this report will provide a timely opportunity to reflect on how researchers might be better equipped to face the challenges represented by an increased emphasis on openness.

RIN vacancy – Research Consultant
The Research Information Network is looking to appoint an enthusiastic self-starter to undertake and support research projects for a range of clients in the research, scholarly publisher and library/information services communities.
This is a part-time post, for an initial fixed term of one year, based at RIN's offices in central London, in the salary range £30,000 – £40,000 pro rata. Further details can be found here.
The deadline for applications is 5 July 2013.
Good practice in information literacy training
A report published today highlights good practice examples designed to enhance the information literacy skills and know-how of postgraduate students and early career researchers in UK higher education. On behalf of the Research Information and Digital Literacies Coalition (RIDLs), the Research Information Network (RIN) and Society of College, National and University Libraries (SCONUL) have announced the results of this research, which showcases fifteen resources for information literacy training provision in a variety of UK higher education institutions.
The analysis draws from these cases, which provide a carefully-balanced range of online and in-house training resources, and incorporates various recommendations that may be of value to those planning to develop such resources. The analysis is founded on the provisional criteria developed by RIDLs to describe and assess training provision in information literacy.
Project officer Dr Charlie Inskip said:
"A number of self-selected information literacy resources have been evaluated, leading to a shortlisting of a selection of 15 good practice examples. This is not to say that every aspect of each of the shortlisted examples is perfect – this project is not about finding 'the best' information literacy resource – but the benefit of this selection is that those charged with developing resources to serve a similar need may efficiently access some examples – and ultimately, perhaps, that 'good practice' may become 'common practice'."
RIN's Stéphane Goldstein went on to say:
"The value of the RIDLS criteria in this research has been to provide an analytical framework for such evaluations (for the researcher) and act as a reflective tool (for the developers/deliverers). Hopefully some of the recommendations and comments within the report, combined with a reflective look at the examples – and contact with their helpful representatives – may assist those attempting to deliver good practice information literacy in UK HE in 2013 and beyond."
The report and list of examples can be found here.

US warns about "toothpaste bomb" threats
The US government has issued a warning to US and some foreign airlines that fly to Russia for the Olympic Games about "toothpaste bomb" threats, media reports said.
The Department of Homeland Security has warned these airlines to be on the lookout for toothpaste tubes, which recent intelligence suggests might hold explosives and could be used to construct a bomb on board a plane, Xinhua reported.
There are no further details about the warning or the intelligence that has prompted such an alert.
A Homeland Security official said in a statement the department "regularly shares relevant information with domestic and international partners, including those associated with international events such as the Sochi Olympics".
US President Barack Obama Tuesday received updates from his national security team about the security for the Winter Olympics Games, which begin Friday in Sochi.
Obama directed his team to work closely with the Russian government and other partners to secure the Sochi games, and to review carefully and act on any new information that might affect security during the Olympic Games.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
my child is very advanced and I think she wasn't challenged enough here. Also the school never provided a single field trip for her which should be a basic essential. Extracurricular activities are below average.(i.e. plays)
My son completed 7 yrs of school at Allison and I am very pleased with the results. There were teachers very involve with the students. At first my son didn't have a permanent teacher but once he got to higher grades the teachers really made him work which made him learn more and he saw his improvement to where his confidence in academics went up.
When I first moved into Pomona from the city of Downey, I was worried about my daughter's education. I decided to place her in Allison Elementary School because it was one of the schools that showed improved over the year. I am very satisfied with the way my daughter's education is going. She has improved and has shown so much growth throughout the year. Her teacher is very motivated, he cares for the students, and most importantly, my daughter looks forward to going to school everyday. I would recommend Allison Elementary School to any parent.

the only car i know of that can go from AWD to RWD is a skyline. and that's an ON/OFF thing not a percentage front/rear. Lambo's can also transfer almost all their power to the rear but even that's only 10/90, not 0/100.

Pop Princesses: Then and Now
Last week, Britney Spears celebrated her 30th birthday. Both Jessica Simpson and Beyoncé are currently pregnant. Christina Aguilera and J. Lo have found a second success—and gained legions of new fans—in the world of reality television. Make no mistake about it: pop's It Girls of the late '90s and early aughts are back and better than ever.
Question is...were they even "gone" to begin with? And now that they're older and (perhaps) wiser, have their style statements improved as well? Click through the gallery to compare the music moguls' looks from back in the day with what they're sporting now. Plus, shop items inspired by each of our favorite pop phenoms.
Jessica Simpson: Then
Our December cover girl first hit it big in 1999, when she released her debut album Sweet Kisses. Her powerhouse pipes and girlish image were so sweet, in fact, that they helped her launch her own edible beauty collection, Dessert. She often hit the scene with her own personal man candy, boyfriend-turned-husband-turned-ex-husband Nick Lachey.

JasonAVP: HOW FALL OUT BOY CAN SAVE ROCK N ROLL (ACCORDING TO @JASONAVP)
Jason Dean of Artist Vs. Poet wanted to share his thoughts with Pup Fresh on Fall Out Boy's hiatus ending and how the band can actually save rock and roll.
The speculation is finally over. After months and months of crossed fingers, tears of hope, and endless midnight…

POZ BandsOnBands: Artist Vs Poet On The Rocket Summer
Mondays mean BandsOnBands, and we're excited to be posting the PropertyOfZack feature today with Joe Kirkland of Artist Vs Poet. The band just released a new LP called Keep Your Secrets, and it can be downloaded here.
In this week's feature, Joe dives into one of his favorite bands, The Rocket Summer. Joe takes the time to write about the never-ending influence The Rocket Summer's Calendar Days had on him and how he still thinks its influence can be heard in each of Artist's releases. Listen to songs by The Rocket Summer here and check out what Joe had to say about one of his biggest influences below!
From Joe Kirkland of Artist Vs Poet:
One of the most influential bands in my music career would have to be The Rocket Summer. When I was 17, a friend of mine cleaned Bryce's pool every week, and was given a copy of "Calendar Days," and I had no idea who the band was. I just popped it in to give it a try, and I was instantly hooked. I did more research on the band, and realized it was only one person playing every instrument, and I was sold.
From that point on, my music was drastically influenced by his style, and I would play every instrument in my project at the time, The Follow Through. Catchy, upbeat songs, piano and guitar driven, and TONS of harmonies flooded my songs, because that's what I loved, and that's the way I wanted it. I appreciated the positive vibes the music gave me, and I was at every show in Texas. At one point, I was even considered to tour as a live musician with TRS, but things didn't work out. It's definitely for the best, because you wouldn't have Artist Vs Poet today, but it would have been fun! Eventually I joined Artist Vs Poet, and we got the opportunity to tour with Bryce and his crew. I had grown out of my fanboy ways, but it was still surreal touring with my favorite band. "Do You Feel" was such a well rounded, well produced record, by far his most popular, but I still appreciated how original the first two records were.
