Hot Seat: Simon Raymonde – Co-Founder Bella Union
Simon Raymonde has enjoyed two brilliant careers in music. As an artist, he was a key member of the influential atmospheric act Cocteau Twins. When they split in 1997, Raymonde set out on his next journey at the helm of an independent record label, Bella Union. It wasn't the easiest segue, Raymonde admits, but he did discover a real knack for signing cult and cutting-edge acts. Over time, Raymonde helped build the careers of such artists as Fleet Foxes, Beach House, Father John Misty, Midlake, the Dears, The Walkmen and Explosions in The Sky, plus Australian artists Dirty Three, Howling Bells and Decoder Ring. The company expanded in recent years with the launch of a publishing division, Bella Union Songs. BMG Chrysalis US recently struck a publishing joint venture with Bella Union Songs, an arrangement that will see the N.Y.-based company provide worldwide rights management services to artists signed to the JV.
In its 15th anniversary, Raymonde won the award for Independent Entrepreneur Of The Year at the Assn of Independent Music's 2012 gala in London. Raymonde is currently on Australian turf. He'll attend the 2013 Bigsound conference as a keynote speaker.
What was the moment you decided to switch from being an artist to an executive?
Actually, there wasn't really a "moment." I probably took six or seven years to think I could run a label. Initially it was more a case of doing it because there wasn't an awful lot more on the horizon to do given that my band had just broke up. It was more a reaction to a series of unfortunate events, and I couldn't ever have seen myself running a record label. For the first few years, I just stumbled through it, not really sure what was going on. And just learning by making lots of terrible mistakes. I guess that's a good way to learn. It's not good if you can't recover from them but I was lucky enough to have a few good breaks and stuck with it. I'm nothing if not a trier.
What was that magic factor that enabled you to have success?
I guess running a label from the perspective of an artist is useful in many ways. I can relate to many of the problems the bands might be having. It's very likely at some point I'll have experienced the same stuff they're going through, whether it's financial or in-band problems or management problems. I had a good grounding in my own band for things going well and going badly. I wouldn't say I was confident at it until about 2004 or 2005, or maybe the signing of Lift to Experience in 2001 and working on that record, The Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads– a double album about the end of the world; it wan an unusual double debut album. It did very well. At that point, we still had the Cocteau studio going, somehow. I was able to use it for those early Bella Union releases, to produce and record and offer bands pretty much free studio time. It helped me make great records for the cost of next to nothing. Once it had all gone horribly wrong and the studio had gone bust, and we'd recovered from the financial ruin of that, and the label was still standing, I thought, "Maybe there is something in this. I can do it." I don't think there was ever a "Eureka" moment, but the success of Live to Experience and how it was received by the critics and the audience made me realise I could do it. Leading on to Midlake and Fionn Regan, and a few artists who started to blossom over the next few years. The confidence started to grow a little. It's never been comfortable to me until probably Fleet Foxes.
As an artist, were you paying attention to the record industry? Were you taking mental notes?
No. I was just concentrating on having a good time, really. Touring and recording and keeping the band together. Our band was pretty complex as far as internal relationships go; that in itself was hard enough to maintain. Along with my own relationships with my wife and my friends, it was hard enough to keep that going without paying attention to the independent labels (business). I didn't pay attention at all. But being so close with the guys in 4AD, in the first few years anyway, I'm sure that did rub off. It was a particularly exciting time in music in the mid '80s. The proliferation of regional independent labels in the U.K. was so great, and many were so influential. Whether it was Kitchenware in Newcastle, or Postcard in Scotland, or Factory in Manchester or Rough Trade in London. There was a great label scene there, and I'm sure that did rub off on me. I worked in a record shop myself for a few years. It didn't go unnoticed to me how cool it all was.
You mentioned a bunch of amazing British indie labels. What's the mantra behind Bella Union?
If there is one, it's to run a label I would have been proud to have been signed to. That's an ever evolving process. With Fleet Foxes, you might think "gee they got that right." The danger is when you have a success like that you think, "we've made it now. We don't have to do anything else. We just have to put the records in the shop and they'll sell." Really, that's so far from the truth. You have to work harder then ever. We didn't expand at that point which I think is crucial, given that the industry has gone into somewhat of a sales decline over the last few years.
Of course, it's more than a label. You have Bella Union Songs, a publishing company.
Yup. That's important to me. I've had a few beginnings with publishing over the years but it hasn't quite been the right fit. Given the success that BMG Chrysalis has had with a lot of my existing roster with Fleet Foxes and Beach House, I have built up a strong relationship with those guys over the years. I got to know (Senior VP of Creative) Kate Hyman, and it coincided with my own dissatisfaction with where the publishing side of things Bella Union was at. And also the (expansion into the) U.S. It's still very new, and we've only signed a few bands. I love publishing, it's a lovely area of music to be involved in and in many ways it's much less stressful than it is running a record label. Perhaps one day that's something I'll be able to grow and develop more.
Are there any other activities you're keen to get into?
I've been developing a TV show for the last year. That's close to fruition, but I don't want to jinx it. I've recorded three pilots for a live music TV show, (featuring) brand new bands. I wanted to do it properly rather than a hand-held camera kind of thing. This is high-level, 8 cameras, full 24-track recording, a huge live venue the Village Underground in Shoreditch, London. It has high production values and its something I'm passionate about, but I appreciate it's not a world I know so much about. It's looking as though we'll have something to talk about publicly in a few weeks.
What sort of carrot would a major have to dangle to bring you into their world?
As you know, we were in the background with Universal over the last few years (through Bella Union's deal with Cooperative Music), before the big merger bullshit with EMI. I'm not designed to circumnavigate that world, I don't feel comfortable in it. There are some great people in major labels around the world, who do great jobs. And I have ultimate respect for them. But it's not for me. I don't feel comfortable in that environment. With the Cooperative situation, where I don't think I met anyone from Universal over the six years we were there. Where we are right now with PIAS, pretty much everywhere in the world, it seems like a natural fit.
What's your stance on subscription services?
That's hard to say at this point, in terms of numbers. It's a long game. That's what everyone says these days. My own personal view is that I don't like them, I don't use them. I'm an old guy, I was brought up on records and I still spend an unnatural amount of money on vinyl every week. That's just what gives me pleasure. I don't have a Spotify account or an Rdio account. I chose not to because it doesn't suit me. As far as all my artists go, I ask them the question regularly. In light of the comments from Thom (Yorke) and Nigel (Godrich), I made sure that all my artists were comfortable with the streaming side of things and if they chose to withdraw from it. I don't put my own personal opinions across to the artists, I just offer them the option of doing whatever they feel most comfortable with. There are lots of diverse opinions about the values and the pluses and minuses and the return to artists. It is minimal, we understand that. I know when some artists have questioned it, and have thought about withdrawing their services quite often they'll look at comments from fans who are consuming their music through Spotify or whatever and they realise if their music wasn't available through these services there would be a large gap. That's what we're finding today. We're not all listening to music in the same way. Some people are listening to it 10 different ways. I'm open-minded.
You mentioned vinyl. I spoke with 4AD's Simon Halliday and he like you is pretty much obsessed with vinyl, and all his artists release on the format.
It's been growing steadily over the last couple of years. Looking at vinyl sales in America, specifically, it's been really strong. You can't ignore it. There's a microcosm of it in my own family. When my kids were in their teens, they were downloading anything that moved and not paying for it. When they got older and started having some disposable income, they found the whole free music thing boring and uncool. At some point of your life, you want to own an artefact. You want something to put on your shelf. Vinyl is a beautiful thing to own. The more who get into that the better. I can't honestly see it grow that much more. It is expensive, let's not forget that. To buy a really nice piece of vinyl is upwards of £20. Not everyone can afford that.
Proudest moments?
Watching John Grant's development. He won the Mojo Album of the Year last year and it looks like he'll follow up with the pretty big year this year. Seeing somebody at the age of 43 make a debut solo record and having it acclaimed so extensively across the world, and going from someone no one knew to selling out venues in many countries makes you super-proud. I've worked with John Grant since 1998. I cite that example to a lot of artists. And I point out, hopefully it won't take 16 years to sell some records. But there's an example of someone who never gave up, and we never gave up on him. Dirty Three is another special one. We've worked with them 16 years. I can't remember a bad word, a cross word between us and them. And of course Fleet Foxes going from nothing to half a million records in the U.K. in eight months. That's an incredible journey.
What are the key records on your slate?
We've got a really crazy end of the year. We have an all-girl Manchester band called Pins, who are starting to do incredibly well here; their album is out later this month. We've got Lanterns On The Lake's second album, it's a huge leap for them and a really special record. A new album from Midlake coming up in a few months' time. Which is an absolute blinder. Roy Harper's first new album in about 15 years. The second album from Jonathan Wilson. And then some new bands we're developing, like Ballet School, Horse Thief and a Manchester band doing well for us called Money. We never take the foot off the gas.
Is there anything new from Fleet Foxes coming up?
We hope so. Robin Pecknold's definitely back in the studio, back in writing mode at the moment. He took a little time off to get all cobwebs off, and he's back in writing mode. We're hopeful.
Do you pine for a reunion of Cocteau Twins
No. I never did.
Big Sound takes place Sept. 10-13

Sales in Asia and Africa drive market recovery
The business aviation market appears to be recovering from the economic downturn, propelled by increased sales in Asia and Africa, according to Jahid Fazal-Karim, co-owner of Jetcraft Corporation, and former senior vice president of worldwide sales for Bombardier. However, signs of continued economic instability in parts of Europe could have "a serious effect" on the Western markets.
Sales of long-range business jets, in particular, have increased–approximately 15 percent in Asia over the last year, Fazal-Karim told AIN, adding that the market in mainland China has been "extremely active." Demand has also increased in Russia, where the industry was "all but dead" in 2009. "The Asian market in general is pretty good, especially for aircraft on the higher end of the market," he added. "They need the range."
In addition, the increase in sales within the Indian market has been in the double digits, while the Middle East remains steady, in spite of the crisis in Dubai. "Countries such as Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are stable," Fazal-Karim said.
Africa, meanwhile, is beginning to show signs of increased activity because of oil production in countries such as Nigeria. "No one should ignore Africa," said Fazal-Karim. "The continent has a lot of resources that haven't been exploited yet, and the oil industry is creating a lot of wealth. It's going to be the next El Dorado."
The U.S. market, meanwhile, is in a transition phase and should start improving over the next year. "The U.S. is cleaning up its issues. Wall Street is making money again, and the Dow is almost back to 2007 levels," he concluded.
The U.S. is traditionally the best market for small and mid-size aircraft, but at the moment, the used market remains flooded, and prices have not recovered. "There are still a lot of bargains to be had," Fazal-Karim said, adding that it's going to take a while for the market, especially among the smaller aircraft, to recover.
The UK is also in a transition phase, but Fazal-Karim said he expects a much slower recovery due to the overall economic instability in Europe. "I'm worried about Europe, and we're watching it very carefully," he said. "Unemployment in Spain is at 20 percent, Portugal is in shambles, and Italy and Greece are in a crisis.
There is a real possibility of another recession in Europe, and if they go down, it's going to have a serious effect."
The UK might come through unscathed, however, due to its position as a financial center. "The financial sector is making money, and when bankers make money, they spend money," Fazal-Karim said.

Cherokee Stories of the Turtle Island Liars' Club
2013 American Book Award, Before Columbus Foundation
2014 Storytelling World Honoree, Special Storytelling Resources
Cherokee Stories of the Turtle Island Liars' Club paints a vivid, fascinating portrait of a community deeply grounded in tradition and dynamically engaged in the present. A collection of forty interwoven stories, conversations, and teachings about Western Cherokee life, beliefs, and the art of storytelling, the book orchestrates a multilayered conversation between a group of honored Cherokee elders, storytellers, and knowledge-keepers and the communities their stories touch. Collaborating with Hastings Shade, Sammy Still, Sequoyah Guess, and Woody Hansen, Cherokee scholar Christopher B. Teuton has assembled the first collection of traditional and contemporary Western Cherokee stories published in over forty years.
Not simply a compilation, Cherokee Stories of the Turtle Island Liars' Club explores the art of Cherokee storytelling, or as it is known in the Cherokee language, gagoga (gah-goh-gá), literally translated as "he or she is lying." The book reveals how the members of the Liars' Club understand the power and purposes of oral traditional stories and how these stories articulate Cherokee tradition, or "teachings," which the storytellers claim are fundamental to a construction of Cherokee selfhood and cultural belonging. Four of the stories are presented in both English and Cherokee.
"Teuton's book is as close as some will ever get to hearing the old stories, the old ways. . . . Recommended. All levels/libraries."
"This important collection is a valuable resource for keeping ancient traditions alive now and in the future."
"An important document for generations to come. It should be an integral part of any Cherokee reader's collection as well as that of anyone interested in oral traditions and fine storytelling in general."
--Indian Country Today
"The Liars' Club members' personal reflections and anecdotes about their own lives add dimension to the traditional stories of the ordinary and the wondrous."
--Now & Then
"A masterwork. [This book] will be read, studied, and quoted fifty years from now. . . . It is that significant."
--Studies in American Indian Literatures
"This will be a deeply treasured book for Cherokee individuals, families, and communities, as it shows beyond any doubt how rich, complex, and beautiful Cherokee oral and literary expressions continue to be in this chaotic world. It is easily one of the most important books on Cherokee worldview and tradition ever written."

Anybody taken these apart?
Before I start forcing things - Is the lever pivot pin pressed into the lever?
Older versions used a small set screw to secure the lever to the pivot axle but that seems to have been eliminated.
The Avid parts list has an exploded view but it does not offer much insight into how it should all come apart.

This is also posted on blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy
Hi, buy NORVIR online no prescription, NORVIR reviews, We were a bit bored today and we have the equipment in our lab at work, so we analyzed the video and came up with the following:.
1, NORVIR without a prescription. NORVIR samples, The composition is mixed metallic based on spectral analysis of the video we snagged and converted to avi from the tv station in Austin: iron (steel), chromium, where can i cheapest NORVIR online, Low dose NORVIR, magnesium, and titanium, NORVIR description. All 4 spectral signatures are clearly visible as "spikes" in the analysis, BUYING NORVIR. Taking NORVIR, There are other spikes as well for various rare earth metals. You can somewhat see this yourself as the color hue changes as the object breaks up in the atmosphere, NORVIR pictures. Order NORVIR from mexican pharmacy, We simply put the colours through spectral analysis and compared the spikes to known metals.
We adjusted the white balance based on objects in the foreground and came up with a base level to determine composition, buy NORVIR from canada. BUYING NORVIR, 2. Is NORVIR safe, the object is very irregularly shaped or of mixed composition. That is, cheap NORVIR, NORVIR pharmacy, it is either spinning as it falls or it is disintegrating. This is evident in the combustion bursts as the object falls, buy no prescription NORVIR online. Buy NORVIR without a prescription, 3. The overall density is high given the short tail combustion, BUYING NORVIR. Lower density objects would produce a longer combustion trail, buy generic NORVIR. NORVIR without prescription, 4. The object entered the atmosphere at a high at low velocity. This is based on known density, shape, trajectory, and burn rate. BUYING NORVIR, The object is almost certainly man-made and medium sized. Based on density, trajectory, and rotational analysis, the object is approximately 5-10 meters long and cylindrical or oblong in shape. It's composition, based on spectral analysis, is consistent with current technology.
We're 99% sure it's an artificial object of some type - probably a satellite or small high altitude aircraft.
If we had to guess we think it could be a high altitude reconnaissance vehicle that experienced an in-flight incident and got too close to the more dense layers of the atmosphere at the wrong angle.

Reader comments are listed below. Comments are currently closed and new comments are no longer being accepted.
1. You have insulted me clearly: changing my name every time, to talk about professional failures without knowing me at all, if I was molested as a child, ... that is not a very Christian attitude, my friend.
2. More and more catalans are starting to have opinions closer to mine, especially now that education is not under the umbrella of centralism. We start to see what Spain has done to us, and what is continue doing, and we start asking if it is worth it. Definitely, reading people like you is the best way to spread independentism in Catalonia.
Not many catalans say nowadays they are proud of being Spaniards, so you are definitely a minority in your opinions in Catalonia.
3. "I simply could not care less about this last": well, of course: it is in your interest not to care! with your opinions, what else could be more in your advantage?
I repeat again: this is not a moral issue, it is a legal issue. Legality should be above what we care or not.
4. No problem about laughing at your comments. It is the only good thing of them.
5. I am not a Spaniard. My passport tells so, but nothing else. I AM (with capital letters) a catalan-european, but nothing about me is Spanish.
Farstar,I am not insulting you when I wonder where your fixations come for the aforesaid reasons. I point that we both have been born in Catalonia and have very different experiences of Spain. I am very proud of having a good one. Not thanks to the Spanish Government but to the Spanish People. I remark the fact that you deliver opinion on books you have not read, readers are free to scroll down and read your comments. I also point another Spaniard who seemed to have the same sort of obsessions than you.I don't make an argument, I contrast our Spanish experience and wonder where your got yours from.You are free to live in your fantasy world of conspiracies, priest, fascist and so forth. I prefer to live in mine of not having to wonder what my fellow spaniard's greatgrampa did in the civil war. I simply could not care less about this last.Sorry you have laughed at my comments, far from my intention.This issue should not be the bone of contention between Spaniards. It is not really worth it.
1. My feeling is not wrath, but astonishment. Astonishment to the fact that laws can be subverted and not applied to everybody equally due to the famous motto "If you kill one person, you are a killer; if you kill one milion, you are somebody with whom to negotiate".
2. Are you saying that the Franco coup was "less bad" than the Nazi regime? Measuring depravation is a very slippery subject. You could reach borderline opinions.
3. I completely agree that all the other dictatorships should be judged and punished. Definitely, I am not left-wing. I am quite conservative in economic terms. And even I could say I am quite conservative in legal terms: I have the odd desire that everybody is subject equally to the law.
4. I repeat again, without expecting already to be understood, that the issue here is not so much that one side was good and the other bad (both killed, ergo both were bad) but the fact that one side suffered the consequences of its bad actions, but the other suffered none. As a consequence, your argument about "purgas" makes no sense here. Of course the Communists killed many people, but they were punished for their actions. Unlike the Francoists to this day.
5. You say "Me as a Christian, I rather prefer to look at your eyes (...)". I am completely convinced that you act this way, but you have to agree with me that the track record of Spanish Christians on this issue is not very good, to say the least.
6. Mr. Zapatero, if what you say is the case, is an example of what I was saying before: to have a personal, moral responsibility. Even though one of his grandparents was National, he sided with the weakest (shouldn't this be a Christian attitude?). Any moral responsibility he could have had for having a National grandparent (due to possible crimes) disappears in my mind, because he has actively pursued to neutralize the evil. Note: I do not like Zapatero at all due to his odd economic positions, and I will never vote for him, but I agree with him on this point.
Boris Yanez, I have laugh a lot with your comments. It seems difficult to be so pathetic insulting with such a bad taste in the Readers' comments section of The Economist.
You should some day argue with logical statements and factual information, instead of insulting your opponent. Additionally, your quality of insulting is very low. I thought that being a Spaniard you would do it better.
I´m afraid, wrath is not a good counsellor. I could understand my mother, who was born orphan because a nice and democrat Russian killed his father before she was born, being so blinded by hate, that she is not. But cannot understand someone not older than 73, arguing in that way.
Civil Wars are that, wars between brothers. Quiet different to Nazi killing Jews or Gipsies or ordinary people. Nuremberg was a war crime tribunal, please name any other for: Katyn, Stalin, Mao, Khemers, Castro, and the long list of crimes, only in the 20th century.
Even more, Civil Wars that are like a chess game, a training for the IIWW and the Cold War, cannot be judged so simplistically or blindly.
Speak about fascism but also about Stalinism, please.
Speak about Nacionales killing and stealing but, please, don't forget to speak about Republicans killing, stealing, subverting the State (Asturias, CEDA, Calvo Sotelo, should we remind how the Republic came after some local elections?)
And again, please, don't forget the internal "purgas" of Communist killing Anarquist, Stalinists killing Trostkist.
At the end of the equation, without wrath, you will hopefully arrive to the point. Us grandsons, have nothing to judge. Or all.
Me as a Christian, I rather prefer to look at your eyes without thinking if you are the grandson of that miliciano who killed my aunt or if I am the grandson of the one who killed your grandfather.
That is what Mr Zapatero should do given that his grandfather was killed as Republican but, the other fighted as a Nacional. Good example of what we, the 3rd generation all are.
Fatsar,I wonder if you get those opinions from a book you have not read -- as your opinions about the Bible and that 'Manual of the Mafia' you quote -- or they are your own crop.Nobody tries to denigrate you sonny, you do are doing a great job yourself. I don't really know where that fixation with Spain, Opus Dei, Army, Fascist comes from. Does it make you more Catalonian that rant against Spain ? Is it from your personal or professional failures ? Were you molested by a Opus Dei member ? My Anglo-Saxon friends who have experienced Spain usually are amazed about the liberal attitudes of the Spanish People and their politicians, including many conservative ones. Sonny, get a life and a country, we cannot help you here. In fact you remind me of Franco, who always talked non-stop that nonsense about "jewish-masonic complot" and according to his father, Franco had never met a Mason. Birds of a feather.I am Catalonian, I have made of myself a successful professional in Spain and abroad. I have never met a member of the Opus Dei, neitherI go to Churches. I met one single member of Fuerza Nueva, a fascist, in Secondary School. I looked at him with a mix of amusement, scorn and helplessness, same as I feel about you. Some kind of relic from the past, some king of Kim Jong Ill. I, like the many Spaniards, think that stiring this old political silt is not in the benefit of anybody, particularly of the victims.And like many commenters of this forum, believe that on the verge of a world wide economic collapse there are more important priorities. Nobodywill deny that those people deserve a proper burial, I am quite sure those people with a religious orientation will be probably more pressingin this last. Fatsar, you are boring.
I have forgotten to discuss that a point 6, related to point 3 (stealing) is usually not discussed but extremely relevant, much more than direct or state stealing:
during the dictatorship years, only the Francoist could have good positions in jobs, buy nice houses, have decent salaries, ... if somebody came from a "republican" family, definitely this person was "marked", and in his/her life, he/she could not expect to do anything valuable. Jobs were demeaning, salaries were extremely low, ... instead, state jobs, especially if based in Madrid, and quasi-state jobs (working in state companies, for example) were very well paid, but only accessible through networking.
As a consequence, many people who were the descendants of the assassins, got rich and powerful not through direct stealing, or state stealing, but through networking, that lead to legal working contracts (that were massively overpaid for the intrinsic quality of the applicants).
This cannot be considered stealing, but in fact it is something that any reasonable person should consider as "bad".
What should be do with it? Should we trace back to any working contract during the dictatorship and revise it? look all bank transactions?
It is impossible, of course, and unfeasible. Additionally, any government who could do all this would probably do a lot of extra harm.
But then, should we let the Evil win again? Descendants of assassins just got rich legally, and the descendants of the losers got poor, also legally. There was no law that implied directly these outcomes. It was simply that "everybody knew its position in society" and an assassin would never give a good job to a republican. Period.
But I do not think that this is what a classical liberal (typical reader of The Economist) would consider "freedom": it is not freedom to select job applicants by political tendencies. Capitalism is supposed to work with freedom in the sense that the best in economical terms will win.
I do not know how we could bring justice to this mess. Of course, some will say we should forget about all this (probably those who benefit from it). I do not think that this is reasonable either. Something should be done, at least, to raise public awareness that many rich and powerful people in Spain are this way not because they are clever and hard-working, but just because they were part of a massive, deceitful networking of assassins.
jaimecar, I think your questions are very relevant. Let me rephrase them, but instead of using Franco, let us use the Nazi regime:
Would anybody in the world argue that old Nazis that fled and were hiding from justice should be left because they are "funny, nice, not-dangerous old men?".
Just stating this in front of the international community would lead to massive outrage. Criminals are criminals, irrespective if the crimes were committed yesterday or 50 years ago.
Even more: when justice does not work, and criminals just avoid justice, and they all die before they have been brought to trial, it is the worst possible outcome: Evil wins. It is always said it is better late justice than no justice. Well, here we have a case of "no justice".
As a summary: it is not a question of "us" (that were not involved in those crimes), it is a question of "them" who were involved in those crimes. So when you ask "Who of us killed anyone in the Civil War?" my answer is: those who should be brought to justice.
Now, to your questions: you ask if "we" should be responsible of the crimes of our grandparents. This is a very relevant question. On the one hand, the answer is crystal clear: No. Justice should act only against those directly related to the crimes. Sons, grandsons, ... have nothing to do with it.
However, there are caveats:
1. Justice should not be directed towards grandsons, but should be directed towards the criminals. That is my point.
2. If justice has been delayed by the criminals just to avoid being punished, deadlines should not be considered: crimes should take place any time, irrespective if 50 years have elapsed or not.
3. Stealing: criminals stole massively. Stealing means real stealing and state stealing, ie, legally taking assets from the losers and giving them to the winners. These assets may be owned by sons or grandsons. Even though these grandsons are not responsible of the crimes, they should give back these assets.
4. Moral responsibility: if the grandsons, after knowing what their grandparents did, act to compensate the evil their family created against other Spaniards, there is no moral responsibility. BUT if the grandsons just take advantage of the crimes of their grandparents and continue with the same kind of attitudes, it could be thought there is moral responsibility on their shoulders. Moral responsibility does not mean legal responsibility, of course. But these people, powerful and rich as they are, should appear in the media as what they are: heirs of criminals. I agree though that legal measures should not be used.
5. Networking: these massive stealing induced a hidden networking among the criminals and very often, the descendants of the criminals (Opus Dei networking is famous). If moral responsibility is implied, the country as a whole should push to bring light to this hidden networking, and push as hard as possible in breaking it, in order people get positions of responsibility based on merit, not on birthplace.
Why us, grandsuns, have to keep speaking about what our grandparents did?
Who of us killed anyone in the Civil War?
How many of us were younger that 18 in 1975?
How many of us have relatives injured, killed, humilliated form both parties?
Who can say today that Stalin was trying to bring democracy to Spain?
Or Hitler Mussolini?
Us, the 3rd generation, have no title to judge one to each other on what was done more than 70 years ago. Those willing to bring that back have other interests but justice.
And my granfather was killed, it doesn�t matter who, but was killed.
I just want to stress to all those readers that have had the patience to read the tedious comments (mine included) in this piece of news, that the technique of the Francoist regime supporters is to denigrate the people of the other camp, without offering any argument except "silence is good" and to argue that those that are not Spaniards and try to give their inputs are ignorants and they should shut up (they know better).
The situation is clear:
1. A set of assassins won a war
2. They forced a dictatorship based on terror that lasted several years
3. The dead people from the winning side were buried and honored; the dead people from the losing side got putrefacted in unknown places, without allowing their family members to bury and honor them. Widespread terror made that nobody talked about the issue publicly, and suffered in their loneliness.
4. When it was clear that the future of the country had to be Europe, the assassins blackmailed Spanish society forcing them to accept their conditions:
4.1. Immunity
4.2. They could keep all the property and power positions they had stolen during the long years of dictatorship
4.3. The Spanish Constitution should have explicitly stated the most important concepts for them: Catholicism, the Army and the capacity for the Army to act in case of possible secession
The actions here (as in many other places) of supporters of Francoism are the typical: first, they try to hide the problem ("silence worked well"), as the manual of the Mafia shows. If this does not work, they avoid argumentation (because it is impossible they could argue in rational terms) and they attack personally the other side.
It is impossible a change from within: Spain has a rotten network of Francoists and Opus Dei members that distribute among themselves the power positions in Spain. There has to be an impulse from the international community (from which The Economist is an important and relevant voice) in order to get change done. Otherwise, the Evil will continue winning in Spain.
Farstir,I am going to suggest to name you head of the All-Catalonian Extraordinary Commission for the Fight of the Opus Dei and Right Wing Conspiracists -- the short acronym in Russian is a classic.We expect show trials with the carcasses of those who committed crimes 50/60/70 years ago and dragging them through the streets Fallujah style. Let's make sure there is plenty of light and stenotypist to record their self incriminations. And of course all those who helped them the last 50-60-70 years.The Zapatero government could have made of this non-issue one of those almost administrative norms that guarantee a fair restitution for those who were victims of the represion on either side. With the help of the conservative party. Provided their interest was the victims restitution or coming to terms with the past. They could have had the great photo opt with the opposition. I guess they have different priorities.
Farstar, this will be my final comment in what I consider a non-issue in today's Spain.
So your Bible written by "writing illiterates" was an editing error. Your story of a coup against the socialist changes to who knows what when you realise the dates are wrong. What next? Are you the guy so sure about all those "criminals" of crimes commited more than 50 years ago? Are you sure you are talking about the right country?
Your "unless I have something to hide" innuendos are also right on target: I do have plenty to hide from the Franco era, being nine-years-old at the time of Franco's death.
My comment of Spain being in total fear of your nonsense should be read as SARCASTIC, like any level-headed person would inmmediately realise. How can you take seriously the possibility of a coup in current Spain?
Sorry, but that was all the time that I am willing to dedicate exposing how non-sensical your opinions are. You can, of course, keep doing the job on your own.
"In the beginning God created..." no good: a false statement. Definitely, you should read books that stick more to the facts (unless you want to read novels, then it is OK; I have heard the bible has quite peverse chapters ... maybe interesting in the end).
Frastar,I do concur with Jose: there is a good level of mental eschatology in the rants. Surely, it spills into the writing.As I mentioned I don't think you have much experience of the Anglo-Saxon world or culture. Had you gone through a minimal reading list of English Literature you would not berate the Good Book so happily. If only for the pervading influence it has had on it. In that line I do not expect my comments to make any sense to you. A proof of my point could be this magazine whose style book uses George Orwell's writing rules. Had you bothered to read the Essay that led to those rules, probably you would appreciate a bit more the Bible. I am sure many modern Biology books benefit and could benefit using thoserules inspired by "illiterate shepherds". Now, do your homework, which should start with "In the beginning God created..."You seem to think of Justice, Law, Democracy as immutable beings, I just see them as very dynamic. I think it is beyond the scope of this section and my time argue my point. Certainly I don't consider the length of nominal Democracy as a proof of its health. There are plenty of Costaguanas to illustrate my point with example. I don't think that anybody for virtueof his or her birthplace is better or worse than anybody else. In fact it is usual the worst people who make the most of this claim. There is a great number of American and British jurist that will disagree with your claim on their legal systems. I will not fall into praising the virtues of the Spanish legal or political system, a wrangling in the process.Of course government in general, government anywhere, is a thing of exquisite comicality to a discerning mind; but lately the anglo-saxons do over step the bounds. A point this magazine with a wide coverage of anglo-saxon affairs seems to illustrate.Of course we are not talking about Soria -- and all her irredent lands. Jose, cheers for those lines. Put a line to boris.yanez at go dot ruNow back to the rat race in Anglo-Saxon land
INSPIRED! I did not have time to edit my post and I forgot to delete "written and" ... come on mate, we are discussing an important issue, do not use written mistakes that have nothing to do with the important issue at hand to attack your opponent. I do not have much time to edit the perfect post. Use arguments.
When you put at the same level of "fear" a coup and the legal prosecution of old men, you show a lot: I do not fear at all the legal prosecution of assassins, but I fear coups. It is only terrifying for the old men, not for you (unless you or some of your relatives have something to hide, of course). Instead, a coup is terrifying for everybody (except for the supporters of the coup).
As a consequence, if you find both concepts equally terrifying, there are only two possibilities: either you or your family are one of the old men, or you would be happy with a coup. In any other case, it is impossible to find the two scenarios equally terrifying.
Now, just change "Francoists" for "Nazis" and try to sell your idea of "poor senile 100-year-old men" when the international community captures an old nazi, and we will see what people in the world think about you.
But no worry, you are a Spaniard, you have nothing to fear.
And yes, the economy may be a much more pressing issue, but the fact that there is something urgent does not imply you have to forget about important-but-not-urgent issues. Everything can be done.
Illiterate sheperds WRITE books?
I really don't know what is more "feared" by me and Spain: A new Tejero coup by the "background Francoists" or the legal prosecution of some senile unrepentant 100-year-old facha somewhere. Both prospects, I admit, are terryfing. Thank God we have Zapatero to deal with these national emergencies.
Boris, being Spanish as a responsability? I loved it! To me, it means less and less everyday... (unless, of course, I have to debate with somebody arguing for the importance of the independence of Soria).
Boris Yanez,
1. I hope normal people will realize your lack of taste in the name you have written refering to me. The best I can say it is a very "Spanish" attitude.
2. Your comments about legality are quite absurd: if we could not judge people because Nazis were very legalistic, law should have no sense. What we have to disentangle is what is politically motivated (and without legal substance) and what is legally bounding. Killing people is legally meaningful, so I would like those people to be judged.
In fact, it is just the opposite: not judging those people has political motivations.
3. Your comments about anglo-saxon countries make no sense to me: of course, their legal and democratic system is of much higher quality than the Spanish one. Spain has been a democracy for 30 years, America and England for much longer. It is just obvious. The fact that these two countries have also bad things does not negate at all my argument.
4. You encourage me to read the Bible. I encourage you to read other books, too (especially more modern ones, and not only written and inspired by illiterate shepherds). They open the mind. In particular, modern biology is quite interesting.
5. I do not reply any personal comment you have made: they are too childish. But this is not what matters: what matters is legality, and to bring to justice all those that killed and tortured people. This is what matters and this is what all of you fear could become real one day.
fartstar,Sorry for my continous mispellings by among may many merits I don't include typing. Sorry again for my late response, but some of us, meritocrats, only come to write after our duty is completed.First of all it is very difficult to put in the same sack all the fascist and francoist and those who grabbed the blue shirt as a "salvavidas". It is very difficult to talk about "justice" and "law". The NKVD and the Nazis were at times very punctillious in their legality, same as the Franco Regime. Always emphasizing the word Criminal in those charges pressed -- or, usually, trumped up -- against their victims. The judicial positivism is behind much of the killing of the 20th century. And God forbids than we start to bring people to "justice" for their believes and supports, no matter how wrong their ideas. I am really impressed with your opinion of the Anglo-Saxon world. I wish my hard-working anglo-saxon wife could share your point of idealized and rosy point of view of their societies. I have the feeling that you have very little experience of real life and work in the anglo-saxon world. Or perhaps you are one of those people who blame their own circumstance to evrybody and everything except themselves -- a sign of inmaturity. I guess for you being Spanish must be an excuse, for me and Pau Gasol it is a responsability. Contrarily to what you think in the anglo-saxon world 'no atan los perros con longanizas'.I encourage you to read more the Good Book. One of my favourites is, ecclesiastes 9:11, to look for inspiration on the roots of success. Thankfuly Spain cannot avoid to be European, it is a geographical accident. Your rants about justice and so forth are being aptly answered by the mighty Jose Carpintero -- although he is too anglo-saxonized for my taste.If I ever forced you to bear a Spanish passport I am terribly sorry.I will write a letter to the Spanish Home Office to redress this unbearable injustice. I do have a good rapport with my local consul, I am sure he will be more than happy to put a good word for me. But being myself born in Barcelona, I am not sure whether I will have a good swagger with them or not.
And again, I repeat: my comments are not so much about the fact of the massacres (there were in both sides before and during the war; the after war dictatorship was full responsibility of one side). Clearly, Santiago Carillo, if he was responsible of the facts you are talking about (I do not know it: Francoist supporters argue he was; Republicans argue he was not; of course, somebody is responsible of those killings) he paid for that. He was exiled for many, many years.
What I am saying is that the assassins of the other side did not suffer at all any punishment (like exile), just the opposite.
And they should pay for what they did (like Santiago Carrillo and many others, with exile, loss of property, ...).
IMAlbornoz, do you deny that there is a hidden network of Francoists and Opus Dei member that rule in Spain?
The clue of what you say is your passive statement "it was decided that no one from any side would be tried for those crimes": who decided that?
It was blackmailing from the ruling dictatorship party towards the whole of Spanish society, with three implicit conditions:
1. you give us full immunity and
2. you allow us to keep everything we stole and
3. the new democratic regime will keep our most precious values: you accept the King as the Head of State, you have to write down explicitly that the Army has the right (and the obligation!) to act if some part of Spain tries to secede, the catholic religion has to be explicitly recognizes as "special" and it is illegal for any part of Spain even to ask the question if they want to continue in Spain or not (otherwise, the Army will intervene).
These were the conditions. It was not "decided" but imposed from the top to the bottom. Of course, Spaniards had the good sense to accept: becoming a normal, European country was the priority.
However, the fact that Spaniards accepted this blackmail does not mean that Spaniards could not, after some time, come back, realize that this was a blackmail, and go for the assassins, and bring justice to the country. In fact, this is what morally Spaniards should do.

10.3: Copy and paste finally work with text clippings
Weird. When I click and drag over text in a text clipping in tiger, no highlighting occurs, but if I hit command C and then paste into a text field, the area I had dragged over is pasted. This isn't very user friendly--it seems like nothing is being selected because the selection is invisible, and the edit menu for copy says "copy 191 items" which makes no sense, but at least it works.

Due South is a Canadian television police comedy-drama, created by Paul Haggis, produced by Alliance Communications, and starring Paul Gross, David Marciano, and latterly Callum Keith Rennie. It ran for 67 episodes over four seasons, from 1994 to 1999.
Set in Chicago, the show follows the adventures of Constable Benton Fraser (Paul Gross), a Mountie of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), who is attached to the Canadian consulate, but works with Detective Raymond Vecchio of the Chicago Police Department to solve crimes, assisted by Fraser's companion Diefenbaker, a deaf white wolfdog. From season three, Fraser works with a Detective Stanley Kowalski (Callum Rennie), who is placed in the department to impersonate Detective Vecchio who goes on an undercover assignment.

It's called Audio Plugin Player – and it does what it sounds like: let's you play your VST or AU instrument plugins, using either the mouse, computer keyboard, or MIDI device (software or hardware).

The Hottest Italian Actresses of All Time
A list of over 50 of the hottest Italian actresses of alltime with photos (and aren't all Italian actresses hot?). These are Italian actresses famous for being beautiful just as much as they are for their acting. This list of Italian actresses includes famous Italian actresses such as Isabella Rossellini and hot Italian actresses such as Monica Bellucci. Obviously some of these actresses were born in Italy and have since achieved fame in the USA or other countries. I made this list of beautiful actresses from Italy because, frankly, they are all hot. Feel free to vote for your favorites. Famous Italian actresses have been with us since the dawn of cinema. I also included historical actresses including some deceased because beauty is timeless, and I wanted the list to not just focus on today's babes. But enough reading, let's get to the photos on this top Italian actresses list.

I've been stitching lately to keep my mind off health matters and it really helps to calm a busy mind but you don't need me to tell stitchers that.
So I've been clamming and hexing to make the Hugs 'n Kisses Temora Traveller Bag, such a cute little project bag. I'm leaving out the main embroidery, instead using a print for the background, inspired by the Belle's version show on Helen's Blog.
I can't wait to start putting it together.
Thursday 30th October is the day I go in for surgery so I am a wee bit anxious about that but it's necessary and until then I will stitch like mad on this project and whatever else takes my fancy.
