My interview with A2D2 Hoop student Sabrina McGrath ~
Q: If someone had asked you two years ago if you would ever take an aerial class, what would have been your reaction?
A: I would love to….where do I sign up? I'm always open to trying something new so I definitely would have been open to it. That's how I ended up here in the first place! Actually, a couple of years ago, as ambassadors for Lululemon, A2D2 hosted some in-store events, one of which they demonstrated the hoop and gave staff and the public a chance to try it out. Interested in giving the hoop a shot, I showed up both to have a go at it and show my support for A2D2.
Q: How did you hear about A2D2?
A: I was privileged enough to dance with Samantha DeAngelis (A2D2 Studio Director and Co-Founder) on the Toronto Rock Lacrosse Dance team a number of years ago. As I got to know Sam better I learned not only that she was a circus performer/aerial artist, but that her and her sisters had their own company.
Q: What apparatus/'s do you train on? (If multiple, what is your opinion on them, which is your favorite?)
A: I am currently only training on aerial hoop and I love it! I'm not sure why I chose the hoop in particular, but you have to start somewhere I suppose. Although in hind sight, maybe it wasn't the best apparatus for me to train on considering I feel motion sick when I spin I still love it though and I suppose my body will have to get used to some spinning…although I am pretty good at trying to avoid it in classes! Eventually I think I'd like to expand and try some of the other apparatuses…maybe silks.
Q: Did you have an athletic discipline prior to training circus arts? (What was it? Do you do it now? Why or why not?)
A: I grew up dancing, which I started when I was about 8 years old. I gradually started training more seriously and was a competitive dancer until I was about 18 years old. I trained mostly in jazz, tap, ballet, and acrobatics. I danced professionally with the Toronto Rock Dance Team for several years in addition to dancing professionally as a Production Dancer on cruise ships for Celebrity Cruises. Right now I still take open dance classes and perform at any opportunity I can get. I'm not dancing nearly as much as I used though, as I work full-time in a career that is not performance related so it's a bit harder to find time to fit everything in that I want to do.
Q: Where do you see yourself in the next five years?
A: That's a big/broad question! I suppose if you're talking circus related then I would love to continue training for as long as I can. I don't plan on making a second career out of being a circus performer, however I'd love to be able to reach a level where I can perform one day because I love performing in general and it would be a great goal for me!
Q: As a circus student, do you have any advice for people who are interested in taking a class?
A: If you're thinking about it, just do it…sign yourself up! Also, once you start, don't get discouraged if it doesn't come easily. Keep working hard and you will definitely make progress. Trust me…my first couple of weeks were tough and at one point I thought I might not ever actually make it up onto the hoop by myself!
Q: Why do you love circus?
A: I love watching circus because it's fun, entertaining, and literally at times takes my breath away. I am always impressed by the skills demonstrated by all the performers, regardless of their discipline/apparatus. I particularly love the high flying aerial acts though, which make my palms sweat! I love training in circus because it's fun, it challenges me in new ways, and keeps me in shape (and sore for days after each class)!

We are a worldwide social network of freethinkers, atheists, agnostics and secular humanists.
A group for updates and discussions about the Occupy Wall Street movement.
For a full list of participating occupations, see: http://occupytheplanet.com/ in the right hand column.
Location: #world
Members: 16
Latest Activity: May 20
If there is an occupation going on in a city near you, please make a thread and keep us updated on what's going on there!
The Occupy Wall Street movement is important. What is known as the Days of Rage represents one hope we still have left for our nation: that we may exercise our freedom and democracy by peaceably assembling to take a stand against something without being gunned down by government cronies. But that right is still being infringed upon in other ways, and footage of arrests, pepper spraying, penning and corralling, pepper spraying, and throwing show that our freedoms are not as cut and dry as presented to us in grade school.
Many will look at this movement and regard those occupying Liberty Square (Zucotti Park) as being dirty hippies, Atheists, freaks, or other generalizations that do not apply. The fact is that the movement involves people from all walks of life-- every background, every color, every religious preference or none, many ages, both genders, and all sexual orientations. But there is one thing that binds these people, one thing they all have in common: they aren't the top 1% earners in the nation. They aren't filthy rich corporate "job creators" that don't create jobs, and don't pay taxes. Everyone there that has paid taxes, knows they've paid more than any corporation has.
Every one of them has been stepped on, kicked, and treated unfairly. Most of them are either losing their home, have lost their home, or know somebody that has lost their home to foreclosure; or they are massively in debt from outrageous student loans, or they can't afford to go or take out a loan to begin with. They know that even though they vary in every detail, they are united by an unstoppable force of anger.
And this is not a group of crazy hippies against the establishment. At least three 1% earners have come out publicly and asked the president to raise their taxes, and noted the extreme and cruel lack of fairness in our current tax system (one hip-hop mogul noting that his secretary paid more in taxes than he did on his 100 million dollar income).
They are all united by their anger at one fundamental thing controlling this nation's economy: corporate greed. And why shouldn't they be angry? Aren't we also part of that 99% that is taxed higher than the filthy rich? Shouldn't we be angry? Without anger, there won't be any change.
As Peter Finch famously said in his scene, abridged:
I don't have to tell you things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. It's a depression. Everybody is out of work or scared of losing their job. A dollar buys a nickel's worth. . .
We know that the air unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat. And we sit watching our TVs while some local newscaster tells us that today we had 15 homicides and 63 violent crimes, as if that's the way it's supposed to be. We know things are bad, they're worse than bad. They're crazy. . .
I don't know what to do about the depression, the inflation, and the crime. All I know is that first, you've got to get mad. You've got to say, 'I'm a human being, god damn it. My life has value.' . . .
'I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!'
This inspired fury is the momentum with which the youth, who has inherited this nation from the baby boomers, runs full force into this protest with. They are angry that the generations before us have showed a total lack of regard for our personal and financial security. They are angry that human greed has taken such a toll on so many lives. And they have every right to be mad.
What started as a predicted flash-in-the-pan movement has sparked like wildfire all over the United States, despite intense media black-out, and is igniting similar movements around the world. Instead of patronizing and criticizing, let's support what we're witnessing: a beautiful revolution reminiscent of the 1960's Vietnam protests, but with less the message of 'free love' as much as 'quit screwing us without taking us out to dinner first'.

Brett Wilkins, Digital Journal
02 January 13
he Federal Bureau of Investigation knew of a plot to assassinate members of the Occupy Wall Street at protests around the United States but did not inform the potential victims of the threats to their lives.
The shocking revelation was buried deep within documents released to the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund (PCJF), a human and civil rights advocacy organization, after the group filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
Last week, Digital Journal reported that the documents obtained by PCJF detailed how the FBI cooperated with the Department of Homeland Security, US military and private corporations to monitor and investigate Occupy Wall Street protesters as "domestic terrorists" and "criminals." The documents prove that federal agencies are "functioning as a de facto intelligence arm of Wall Street and corporate America," PCJF said.
Thorough analyses of the documents has now revealed a heavily redacted file that clearly mentions a plan to use snipers to assassinate Occupy protesters. The names of the groups or individuals involved in the murderous plot have been redacted, so it is impossible to identify them at this time. What is known is that the FBI never alerted any of the potential victims of the danger to their lives.
From an FBI document marked "SECRET":
An identified [redacted] of October planned to engage in sniper attacks against protesters in Houston, Texas, if deemed necessary. An identified [redacted] had received intelligence that indicated the protesters in New York and Seattle planned similar protests in Houston, Dallas, San Antonio and Austin, Texas. [Redacted] planned to gather intelligence against the leaders of the protest groups and obtain photographs then formulate a plan to kill the leadership via suppressed sniper rifles.
Court Rules Antiwar Activists Can Sue Government Spies
A federal appeals court involving antiwar activists who were secretly infiltrated by US military spies has ruled in favor of the activists, marking the first time a court has endorsed the people's ability to sue the military for violating their First and Fourth Amendment rights.
"Declassified documents obtained by Students for a Democratic Society and Port Militarization Resistance,"reports Democracy Now, "revealed a man everyone knew as 'John Jacob' was in fact John Towery," who was assigned by the government to spy on the Washington state-based antiwar groups.
Towery was dispatched from a "fusion center," or intelligence center, as part of the Department of Homeland Security's post-9/11 anti-terrorism surveillance powers.
In October, the Senate Homeland Security subcommittee reviewed more than 600 reports that had come out of these so-called fusion centers and found the giant bureaucracy surrounding the program produced almost nothing that had to do with countering terrorist threats.
Instead, the government spy networks snooped on political activists and infiltrated groups that were peacefully exercising their constitutional rights to free speech.
"The centers have made headlines for circulating information about Ron Paul supporters, the ACLU, activists on both sides of the abortion debate, war protesters and advocates of gun rights," according to the Associated Press.
The court ruling is potentially precedent-setting, although Towery's lawyers may appeal the decision.
"This has never been done before," said Larry Hildes, an attorney with National Lawyers Guild, who is handling the case. "The US government has spied on political dissidents throughout history and this particular plot lasted through two presidencies, but never before has a court said that we can challenge it the way we have."
Virgil Goode, or whatever his name is, is friggin' nuts.
You're right Neal. I should have posted the Democracy Now debate. I watched it on-line and posted it on another site I follow. I was too lazy to collect all the links again and should have posted it here when I posted it there. I ended up voting for Jill Stein. Rocky Anderson wasn't on the ballot in CA. I figured that Obama had the CA electoral college locked up so my vote wouldn't be a 'vote for Romney.'
Amy Goodman on Democracy Now! included the other candidates on one of her shows.
The Other presidential Debate - In Full -
Third Party Presidential Candidates Debate Real Issues
By Dark Politricks
This is the full third party Presidential debate which was shown last night on Russia Today last night. Isn't it funny how it takes a Russian TV station to provide some kind of balance to the establishment stranglehold on American politics?
As Mitt Romney and President Obama both competed for the prize of Israels best friend in their last debate. Last night the third party Presidential candidates discussed real issues and many that haven't even been touched in the previous Presidential debates.
The candidates debating were Presidential candidates Jill Stein of the Green Party, Rocky Anderson of the Justice Party, Virgil Goode of the Constitution Party and Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party.

What we have now is a "reverse" robber baron situation. These SOBs are disassembling the industrial base of the country for immense gain, robbing the government, stealing the commons. The 19th century robber barons may have fleeced the nation, but they did give us steel, oil, railroads, and industry in return. The new "RRB"s give us nothing in return. They just rob us blind.

Another week, another geeky movie premiere, another delicious way to celebrate.
This week is only the second of many nerdy recipes to come this summer, with an amazing slate of nerdy movies premiering in the coming weeks.
Baz Luhrman takes on F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic, The Great Gatsby. (Fun fact: Fitzgerald's historic home in St. Paul is just blocks away from where I last lived in Minnesota!)
You're probably thinking, wait? there's an especially nerdy food associated with The Great Gatsby? And you might be right.
But you're probably also getting a group of friends together to go see Gatsby this weekend. Skip the crowded bar for pre-movie drinks and host your very own Great Gatsby cocktail hour, worthy of the title character's very own lavish bashes.
The secret to these nerdy recipes? Their high ratio of "looks fancy" to "amount of time to make." So plenty of time to curl your hair and perfect your flapper look.
Host Your Own Great Gatsby Themed Cocktail Hour
- Sweet Tea Mint Juleps
- Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp
- White Cheddar Gougeres
It's really a hallmark of the Amy Pond era. Fish sticks and custard. Honestly, kind of eww when I think about it. But then I remember that my favorite combo is salty and sweet… so maybe… just maybe. Yes, indeed, this can be delicious.
When I put our resident food genius Emma Carew Grovum up to the task, she came up with a version that is sure to please the masses. It's certainly a little more palatable for the non-weird eaters out there.
Recipe and details after the jump…
My latest post for Being Geek Chic:
Captain Jack: "Who looks at a screwdriver and thinks, 'Oooh, this could be a little more sonic?'"
The Doctor: "What, you've never been bored? Never had a long night? Never had a lot of cabinets to put up?
Children love the noise it makes. Grown-ups want to own one. There's no denying: The doctor wouldn't be the doctor without his sonic screwdriver. And so if you're bored, but don't have any cabinetry that needs hanging, then maybe head to the kitchen for a different task.
Why not make these delicious chocolate covered pretzel rods and try to unlock doors? When it doesn't work, eat them. You'll still be satisfied with the results.
- 10-12 long pretzel rods
- 1 bag white chocolate chips or 1 lb white chocolate bark
- 2-3 TBS neutral cooking oil (vegetable or canola)
- red, green and blue sugar crystals
- variety of chopped nuts and candies to use as button decorations
Recipe after the jump…
I *love* this clever infographic summarizing data that Amy Webb has pulled based on early reviews of her new book, Data, A Love Story.
We've been collecting and analyzing data about Data, A Love Story's readers, reviewers and buyers. For example, how many of Data's readers also belong to AARP? What are the two most common words used to describe Amy's story?

Palestinian officials are poised to request that the United Nations recognize them as a State. It is very similar to the unilateral declaration that Israel made in 1948.

Today's Take – Israel: Determined to remain at war
September 1st, 2011
Comments Off
The Israel government has definitely made it clear that it has no intention to initiate withdrawal from the occupied West Bank. Unfortunately it is just not enough to continue building settlements, they are now poised to start another confrontation with those they rule. The Israeli newspaper Al Haaretz reports that the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) [...]

Phantasmagoria was a big hit with the 18th-century theater crowd, who thought using a "magic lantern" to project nightmare images of skeletons and demons onto smoke and screens was pretty nifty. Cirque Skeletique takes the old practice further, bringing the shadows and nightmares to life. The area circus uses movement, narrative and music to tell the story of a society on the brink of apocalypse and forced to face its "darker inclinations." The show is an esoteric, neurotic adventure swinging between the subconscious and the conscious, featuring aerial acrobatics, contortion, sword swallowing, stilt walking, belly dancing and fire. Ever-changing Philadelphia collective Antique Matter will provide the music; those who come for the apocalypse are invited to stay after the show for a DJ and dance party.

Hope Defeated Demo 2010
A few months back, I got a package in the mail from a friend. He included an EP on his label that he thought I'd enjoy. And not only did he send me one, but he also sent me the special blog nerd edition. Which is fitting, in a few senses. I read both blogs, Endless Quest Records and We Will Bury You (very nice rev sneaker pick ups, Doug). I also read another members blog, hardcoreshirt.com. It's not exactly a vinyl nerd blog, but pretty nerdy. And I also run another site called VinylNoize. So yeah, I've got nerd covered.
The band is Hope Defeated, and I'm glad I got a copy. I kept meaning to order it, but never got around to it. I'm kicking myself for the possibility that I never would have heard it. It's definitely worth a listen. The comparison is going to sound completely outrageous, but it reminds me of pick one up. But if you are looking for the blog nerd press, you're out of luck. Your only hope is Chain Of Strength with early Dwid singing. Or maybe it's just the record nerd cover staring at me. It's definitely hardcore. But hard to pin down. In fact, Endless Quest describes it as this:
Throw the vocal rage of Striking Distance & 108 over the chugging groove of bands like Snapcase & Burn, mix in a strong straight edge influence
So yeah, my comparison is sounding less ridiculous, right? Either way, these dudes have something good going on. And sure, it's just a side project / break from adult life, but it's a solid listen. I highly suggest you go pick one up. But if you are looking for the blog nerd press, you're out of luck. Your only hope is Ebay now. These are long sold out.
Making A Scene: New York Hardcore 1985-1988 Revisited
I remember coming across an original copy of Making a Scene: New York Hardcore many years ago. Even back then, I felt slightly hollow. I remember older dudes talking it up HARD, but upon seeing it, I was pretty let down. I mean, I have read zines with more pictures than this book. Granted, the work that Bri Hurley put into it was AMAZING. It was a great book with some awesome photos. But there were less than 100, and the book wasn't cheap (still isn't. Check some of the prices on amazon, yikes!). You always knew a hardcore kid owned it properly because the book binding was always broken to open immediately to the Steve Reddy pic. The other issue, the short interview snippets didn't hold much with me. I had no idea who Ralphy Boy was, and I know Diego was an OG member of Agnostic Front, but his name was foreign to me too. Gavin's name was, of course, familiar. But they didn't resonate with me. Where was Raybeez, Jimmy G, Ray Of Today, Jules, ...? Where were any of my hardcore heros? A great book, but it was a little off.
Thankfully, Chris Daily felt the same way as me. It turns out, Bri Hurley felt the same too. Apparently her original printing company stiffed the first time author and edited the crap out of her original work. But in 2011, it has been revisited. And it's truly worth it. There are now 3 times as many pictures as the first version. There are a ton of great interviews too. From Jeff Perlin to Sammy, Neil Robinson of Nausea to Steve Mcallister of Damage, ... the list goes on and on. This one is awesome. Such a great work.
If you are looking for the best take away, the item that stands out the most, you'll find it on page 4 & 5. The introduction by Freddy Cricien (aka Freddy Madball) is off the charts amazing. He seems to encapsulate the entire birth of the scene through the eyes of a child. A child that grows with the scene. Three pages and you are hooked. It makes me hope he does write his own book.
You need this book. It'll look smart on your coffee table. Go order it now. Check their homepage for information about upcoming book release gigs. Don't miss them, they look dope.
PS. why can't I find any real pictures of the new cover? The new cover also says "revisited by Chris Daily." He definitely deserves plenty of credit here. Kudos to him.
Live… Suburbia by Anthony Pappalardo and Max G Morton
A few years back, AP (or IME) hit us up with his book Radio Silence. That book was awesome. It had everything a young hardcore kid (or an old hardcore kid) could ever want: rare tshirts, old flyers, quotes from big names in the scene, stellar pictures ... It was perfect.
This time around, with Live...Suburbia, AP and Max G. Morton do something a little different. This one is more introspective. It's more personal, really. There are a ton of old pictures, but if you are expecting wall to wall Mags and Insted pics, you'll be out of luck. This one is much broader than Hardcore. There is talk of skateboarding, bmx, metal (lots of metal), skinheads and getting in trouble in the mid 80s. Anyone who grew up during this time will have an immediate feeling of nostalgia. And anyone who has ever met AP will recall his great story skills. These are brought to the forefront in this book. More words this time around.
And that's a good thing. I mean, I recall hearing APs story about a certain wild fire in the woods near his home, but I had never heard the WHOLE story. This book has it. And it's worth reading. I've never met Max, at least I don't recall, but after reading the stories in the book, you can tell he's a kindred spirit. He lived the life we all lived back when we were teens. You'll see.
Order your copy of Live...Suburbia now. It's worth the read.
Kid Liberty – Give Up. Give In.
Kid Liberty just released an album called Give Up. Give In. It drops today, to be exact. And I'm sure I'm not the first one to point out the obvious, but I hope to beat it into the ground. The album is called Give Up. Give In. That's right, no shit. Give Up. Give In. I'm not sure which band member (or more likely, management) came up with this genius title, but I think it's an incredibly bad idea. The door to terrible puns has been kicked open and is being held wide open. Give Up. Just Give Up. Imagine if this album flops or if this album sucks. Think of the mileage reviewers can get off that simple title. They might as well just name their kids Ben Dover. But let's get into the actual review, as I'm sure you are all dying to hear what I have to say on this one.
This one is a four song ep. Bullet Tooth Records (post Trustkill Records). There is one new song, two acoustic tracks and a Cee Lo Green cover song. Yes, that's right. A Cee Lo Green cover. Fuck You. Wow. Before even listening to the EP, I said to myself, "oooooooffff." That dude had his 15 minutes of fame about 6000 internet lifetimes ago. And now Kid Liberty record and release the song? Wow. Terrible idea, just awful. Give up. Plus, the original is shit. It's just awful so you can only imagine how "entertaining" the cover song is. It's been appropriately mall punkified for easy listening. Ugh. The acoustic songs will appeal to your skinny jeaned, warped tour little sister. Maybe. She might also get into push pitting over the new track. It was not for me. I could not give in to these songs. Not even close. This album's saving grace? In reverse alphabetical order, it's immediately followed by Kid Dynamite. Yeah, I had to stretch for the positive. Sorry.
If after my review (because we all know how shit awful my reviews are), you are still interested, you can pick this album up on amazon or your local record store. For older merch, check Ebay. Good luck.
Kicked In – Kansas City Straight Edge – 2010 And Beyond
A while back (ok, a real long time ago), Taylor sent me this cd of all the Kicked In material. He wanted to send a demo, but they had sold out. I can see why now. After listening to this off and on for the last few months, it's really grown on me. Great straight edge vibe and plenty of central US love. At times, I even get a distinct Rzl Dzl sound, but that could just be some Lockin Out nods in the music. Solid short songs (some of those 3 syllable lines are a little TOO short for me) that you can mosh to. What more do you want?
Turns out these boys are playing "The Bitch Pit" in Boston, Mass tomorrow. I have never heard of this venue / living room / basement / back alley, but now I'm interested in checking it out. If you got the info, hit me up. I suggest you hit up Kicked In's facebook page. You can download most of all their material and form your own living room mosh. Good look.
Plus. Look at that drawing. That's just good stuff, folks. Who says skins always win?
Late To The Party: A Pickup Post
This pickup has been a long time in the making. I actually scored these a few months back, but am just now getting around to mentioning them. Before I get into the actual items, let me start with a few stories.
Back in 2001 or 2002, I was hot on the hunt for a Bane test press. I was pretty much looking for any one I could find. Back then, I had very few options. 3 EPs, a split with Adamantium, and two LPs. Those were my options. I dug deep but no one was giving up a Give Blood test press, and I couldn't find an It All Comes Down To This test press anywhere (who's got one??). The EPs were even harder to find. I knew a few friends who had the first one, but they didn't seem to want to let them go either. AT that point, I had pretty much given up. That is, until my friend Bob started talking about them. It was at this time that I decided I would get one for him. He's a good friend, loves Bane and could use one in his collection. Around the same time, I also learned that Steve Neale had a test press for the first EP. I called Steve up one day and told him how I wanted to give one to Bob. He was definitely into it. He really dug that camaraderie. When I asked him how much he would want for it, he told me I could have it for FREE as long as I gave it to Bob. That's right. FREE. And that's what happened. A few days later, I drove to Steve's house, he gave me the EP, I gave him a hug, we chatted, and I left. Incidentally, that was the last time I saw Steve. He tragically died a year later in a car accident. We miss you, Steve.
Fast forward a few years. I had basically given up record collecting. This was probably 2009 or 2010. I wasn't actively looking for any records. But then Marcus (of endless quest records fame) asked me if I could help him out. Turns out someone had tracked HIM down offering to sell him a Bane test press. Yes, you read that right. Marcus had posted about wanting one, and the seller had googled Bane test press ... Boom. Match made in heaven. Marcus was a little suspicious and asked if I would be willing to middle man this transaction. I of course, agreed. The dude lived in Boston so it was no big deal. Then he revealed that the seller was Dickie Cummings. This one blew my gourd. 10 years back, I bought Dickie's entire record collection, or so I thought. Obviously, he held a few special items back. Bummer for me because that test press would have been a great score in that record collection. Regardless, I met up with Dickie, handed him some cash, and he handed me the Bane test press. Of course, this was a test press for the first EP (if you are keeping count, that's two that I have handled without keeping). I shipped it off to Marcus and he shipped me some Nikes. Win-win. You can read the story from Marcus's view here.
Now Marcus had the Bane test press market pretty much cornered. EPs, LPs, splits, comps. He has it all... I'm just a little bit jealous ... Fast forward another year, and two things happened: a) Bane released a ridiculous amount of EPs in every color of the rainbow, distributed from every continent and b) vinylnoize.com was kicked off. I was posting daily about records, and started getting the bug again. I wasn't going deep on old records, but I pre-ordered a few EPs and even hooked up my record player. It had been unplugged for 3-4 years at that point. Those Bane EPs really filled out my collection. The same with the Holding This Moment repress on LP. I was psyched to get all of those, when one day, it occurred to me that I could probably score some test presses.
And that's what I did. With a little hooking and crooking, I grabbed some test presses. I'm not in Marcus territory yet, but I'm working my way there. Real happy with these.
The collection continues to grow. Now I need to track down those older EVR and Life Record test presses. If you got them, let me know.
Take Your Shot Fanzine #4
I'm not going to lie. My knowledge of foreign hardcore is close to nil. I can't name any Japanese bands that I listen to regularly, and would have a hard time naming any if it wasn't for Jaybil. The same can be said about Norway, Brazil, Poland, Mexico, ... You see where I'm going there. My knowledge of international hardcore pretty much begins with Larm and ends with True Colors. Sad, I know. This is where Take Your Shot Fanzine broadens my horizons. This zine is ALL about foreign hardcore. Not one band interviewed is from the US (ok, Setback is, but that's only one ninth of the interview section. Talk Shit, Get Hit). Not only that, but it's the PMA issue. And if you know me, you know I'm big on the PMA.
The interviews in this zine are cool. Fairly standard questions but super genuine. The combination of bands interviewed is also refreshing. There's everything from hard mosh, to near metal to positive hardcore. It's a sweet little mix. And the last two pages are devoted to guest columns and thoughts on the current scene. Most of the words ring true, which is chill considering this dude lives thousands of miles away. Different culture, same core. Diggin that.
If that sounds like something you can get into, check out the online site where you can find order information, and plenty of new interviews and reviews. It's updated pretty regularly so you'll always have a reason to go back for more. #PMA
Joyce Manor – S/T – 6131 Records #027 – 2011
I'm not going to lie. I've been sitting on this review for a while. But it was for a good reason. My initial reaction went straight to fanboy. I wanted to sit with it for a while hoping to even out my reaction. It didn't work. I'm still a Joyce Manor fanboy. This LP is sticking to my record player and not leaving. Favorite song: Constant Headache, no doubt. I've been on a bit of a pop punk kick lately, and this band fits the bill. Think Title Fight, think Transit, think west coast punk rock. This has the definitive Californian vibe to it. Picture vans eras with long tube socks. I don't picture a lot of stage diving, but I bet the sing alongs can get pretty intense.
Despite being a band since 2008, these dudes are taking their first full US tour this summer, and I'm really looking forward to it.
They are coming through NY, Philly and Mass. I'm definitely hitting up the Mass gig. You won't be able to keep me away.
Go over to hellfish to pick up the lp. I promise you, it is worth it. And if you need that old merch, check Ebay. I need to snag a shirt.
Record Store Day Previews
I just got this note from Talia at Independent Label Collective PR. Some good stuff coming up for Record Store Day (RSD).
The Independent Label Collective will release six titles for Record Store Day 2011 in collaboration with a selection of their labels. Labels participating this year include Dr. Strange Records, 6131 Records, Init Records, Red Scare Industries, and a special arrangement with one of New York City's best independent music retailers, Generation Records.
"We at Independent Label Collective are extremely proud to be participating in Record Store Day 2011 with what we consider to be a great selection of titles from some awesome bands," said Sean Patrick Rhorer, General Manager for ILC. "Anything we can do to help encourage record store culture we feel to be totally worthwhile and Record Store Day continues to demonstrate it's an event that does just that."
This marks the ILC's second year of participation in RSD, and the number of labels involved has grown significantly, from one to six. "I think it is important to have a large scale celebration that not only draws attention to the music at hand but to the brick and mortar stores who give these physical products a place to be sold out of," asserts Tracy Wilson, Head of Sales for the ILC. "It's refreshing to have one day a year where we can remind the world that there is still a small army stores all over this planet selling music and plenty of records to fill them."
The offerings include the following:
Black Market Baby / Potential Suicide / 7" / Dr. Strange / Limited to 200 Copies
Bouncing Souls / Live at Generation Records / LP / Generation / Limited to 1000 Copies
The Frustrators / Griller / 7" / Dr. Strange / Limited to 200 Copies
The Menzingers / Chamberlain Waits / LP / Red Scare / Limited to 300 Copies
Touche Amore / To the Beat of a Dead Horse (All-White Art Edition) / LP / 6131 / Limited to 250 Copies
William Elliott Whitmore/P.O.S. / Split / 7" / Init / Limited to 1500 CopiesFor more information on any of these releases, or any media inquiries, please contact Talia Miller at the Independent Label Collective at email@example.com
About Independent Label Collective
The Independent Label Collective took shape in early 2009. We are a group of independent record labels, musicians and individuals who work together to create a one of a kind DIY distribution system. Since the inception of the ILC, we have worked hard to provide worldwide physical and digital distribution for our label roster and their artists from around the world. In early 2010 we extended our services to merchandising, mechanical licensing, and PR and our primary goal is to provide everyone involved with some of the best services possible.
ILC is exactly what our name states; a group of independent labels taking matters into their own hands.
I'll be keeping my eyes peeled for that Touche Amore record, that's for sure. Love 6131 Records.

Homes Worth 42 Percent More Near Metra Stations
A study finds people can commute cheaply to a greater number of jobs if they live near public transit.
Living near a Metra station is not only convenient for commuters, but it also raises property values, a new study reports. Data in the study released by the American Public Transportation Association and the National Association of Realtors reveal that during the last recession, residential property values performed 42 percent better on average if they were located near public transportation with high-frequency service, the realtors' and public transit associations said in a statement. The reasons? Access to more jobs and a cheaper, often shorter, commute. "When homes are located near public transportation, they are among the most valuable and desirable in the area," said APTA President and CEO Michael Melaniphy. "This study shows that …

By Trevor Little
April 12 2012
While ICANN previously stated that the application window for new gTLDs would not be extended, technical issues with the TLD Application System (TAS) have forced its hand – with the window now open until April 20. The news comes in the week that Google revealed it was applying for a number of TLDs.
The application window had been due to close today (April 12) but ICANN has announced that, having "received a report of unusual behaviour with the operation of the TAS system, we then identified a technical issue with the TAS system software". As a result, TAS will now be shut down until Tuesday – after which "the application window will remain open until 23:59 UTC on Friday 20 April 2012".
ICANN has not yet announced whether this will impact the planned application reveal date of April 30. While industry waits to see who has applied for what, this week Google confirmed that it plans to "apply for Google's trademarked TLDs, as well as a handful of new ones. We want to help make this a smooth experience for web users - one that promotes innovation and competition on the internet".
Responding to a request from Ad Age, the company did not elaborate on the precise TLDs it would apply for, but reporter Jason Del Rey speculates that applications for '.google' and '.youtube' are likely. Two brands who have seemingly ruled themselves out are Facebook and Pepsi, a spokesperson for the latter predicting that consumer browsing habits will take some years to alter.
This sentiment is echoed by Roland LaPlante, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at Afilias. However, he adds that it is brand uptake and promotion of new gTLDS which will be at the forefront of this change in online habits. He told WTR: "Anyone who is contemplating launching a generic term, it is going to be a significant marketing challenge to generate knowledge, awareness and trust in those – people don't generally trust things they aren't familiar with. But people are familiar with brands and it will be much easier for those entities to get customers to come to their '.brands' name, as there is already an inherent level of consumer trust in those names and they will give those names the benefit of the doubt. I would guess it will take five to 10 years before there is a significant amount of traffic going to these '.brands', as it takes a significant amount of time to change consumer habits, but I can foresee a day where – just as many brands have decided to open their own retail stores – companies will focus their online activities on the '.brand'. Over time, going to, say, a '.rolex' or a '.pepsi' will become more the norm in browser navigation, as people can remember them. Especially for brands where there is a lot of counterfeiting online – you would know that if you went to a '.brand' address you would be getting genuine goods, and you can't say that with '.com' now."
As to which brands will be the early adopters, until we hear otherwise the reveal date remains April 30.

The South Pole is a world apart from the visual, audio, and color stimuli of daily life on the rest of the planet. It's either light or dark; for six months of the year you don't see the light and during the summer you miss the darkness. It is occupied by the best community of hard-working folks on the planet! To photograph there is always challenging, to say the least. I love these gigapans that attempt to give some sense of the enormous scale of the place. Even with a stitched panorama of 30 pictures you can't get it all in!

text: The City of Mississauga has won a pair of awards while Safe City Mississauga also received recognition this week. City solicitor Mary Ellen Bench was honoured on Wednesday at City Hall for winning the International Municipal Lawyers Association's Bruce A. Noble Award. It's given out annually to a member of the association who demonstrates excellence in practice, achievements and contributions to the legal community. "This award is reflective of the dedication and high standard of service our City solicitor Mary Ellen Bench has provided to the City," said City manager and chief administrative officer Janice Baker. "It's wonderful to see her work recognized and honoured at this level." The City also received a silver Summit Marketing Effectiveness Award for its internal campaign, Living Our Values, that focuses on the municipality's core values of trust, quality and excellence. As well, Safe City Mississauga received the 2012 Community Based Crime Prevention Program of the Year Award from the International Society of Crime Prevention Practitioners for its Aspire tutoring program. Aspire, which was established in 2010, offers free tutoring for students from kindergarten to Grade 6 in priority neighbourhoods. Students are tutored by high school and university students and also learn social and academic skills. "The fact that a Mississauga-based program was selected out of an international pool of crime prevention programs from the United Kingdom, the U.S. and all over the world speaks to the significance of the Aspire program and the great work that Safe City Mississauga is doing for this city," said Ward 9 Councillor Pat Saito. Research suggests that helping students develop strong academic and social skills reduces the chances of them of dropping out of school or getting involved in crime. "What is truly great about this program is that it provides students with a positive peer mentor and role model who will not only support their academic skills development, but will also work to promote feelings of self-confidence and inspire students to make healthier life choices," said program coordinator Sheena Moya Chen. firstname.lastname@example.com

Saving the Bay through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration.
All of the Bay states agreed to implement 60 percent of their Bay cleanup plans by 2017 and 100 percent by 2025. To track progress, Virginia and the other states agreed to establish interim, two-year cleanup goals called milestones, and to publicly report progress toward achieving them beginning in 2011. The two-year milestones and progress reports are a critical tool to hold the states publicly accountable.
West Virginia submitted its Final Phase II WIP (PDF) (124 pgs, 1.7MB) to EPA on March 30, 2012. EPA issued its comments (PDF) (6 pgs, 363KB) on the plan May 31, 2012.
EPA evaluated the Bay jurisdictions' Draft Phase II Watershed Implementation Plans (WIPs) and 2012-2013 two-year milestones and provided feedback on Feb. 15, 2012. The Phase II WIPs and the two-year milestones are important elements in helping to meet the Chesapeake Bay Program Executive Council's goal of having all practices in place by 2025 to meet water quality standards in the Chesapeake Bay. View the evaluation for West Virginia (PDF) (5 pgs, 33KB).For their Phase II WIPs, EPA asked jurisdictions to make key stakeholders—local governments, conservations districts, farmers, builders and others—aware of their roles in cleaning up the region's waterways, and to strengthen pollution-reduction strategies for any sectors subject to federal enhanced oversight or backstop actions based on the Phase I WIPs and the Bay TMDL issued in 2010. Visit West Virginia's website to learn more about their activities to finalize their Phase II WIP.Final Phase I Watershed Implementation Plans were submitted to EPA by the six watershed states and the District of Columbia beginning November 29, 2010. The WIPs were designed to provide a roadmap for how and when a jurisdiction intends to meet its pollutant allocations under the Bay TMDL. View the Final Phase I WIP for West Virginia.
The Phase I WIPs were reviewed by a team of EPA sector specialists based on detailed expectations provided by EPA in November 2009 (PDF) and supplemented in April 2010 (PDF) and extensive interaction with the jurisdictions since the submittal of draft WIPs in early September 2010. The WIPs needed to meet the lower pollution limits for that jurisdiction and provide reasonable assurance that the actions identified would achieve the reductions, particularly for non-permitted sources like runoff from agricultural lands and stormwater from urban and suburban lands. The final WIPs represented significant improvements over the draft WIPs, enabling EPA to reduce and remove most federal "backstops" that had been included in the draft TMDL. Because of inadequacies in dealing with agriculture, EPA included a "backstop" measure in the final TMDL, that could lead to a requirement that WV regulate more of their animal feeding operations if they don't make sufficient progress reducing agricultural loads. In addition, because of some deficiencies in their plans to reduce pollution from stormwater and wastewater, EPA will be conducting "enhanced oversight" of these programs, potentially invoking more stringent measures in the future. View the Phase I evaluation for West Virginia (PDF).

You can track progress for all Bay jurisdictions on EPA's Chesapeake Stat website. On you can read about progress already being realized.
Apathy, anti-Bay legislation, lawsuits, and a bad economy all threaten to derail the state-federal Bay cleanup. Yet most experts consider this the Chesapeake Bay's best, and perhaps last, chance for real restoration. The problems have been identified; we have the know-how and tools to fix them; and the benefits of a restored Chesapeake Bay manifestly outweigh cleanup costs. If we work together to make the pollution limits work, many scientists believe the Bay will reach a tipping point when improvements outpace pollution and the Bay rebounds exponentially.

We all have our favorite crime shows on television. Whether it's Crime Scene Investigation, Law & Order, Forensic Files, or NCIS, shows that include the process of forensics tend to draw a high viewership. These crime shows make the viewer wonder whether or not it is possible to commit such crimes and get away with it – and while some viewers may think it's possible, it's worth noting that the forensic practices you see in these shows are heavily exaggerated. These 'fictional' procedures distort viewers' perception on the actual practice of forensic science, causing what is known as 'The CSI Effect.'
What is The CSI Effect?
The CSI Effect, named after the show Crime Scene Investigation, is the idea that your favorite crime shows develop a false perception of how the forensic process works. For instance, in shows such as Law & Order and Crime Scene Investigation, DNA test results only seem to take an hour or a few hours when in reality, it can take days or weeks to get the results back, depending on which DNA testing facility is used. This distorted perception leads jurors to believe that cases are supposed to be handled the same way they view it on television.
What is the problem with The CSI Effect?
The problem is this: Not all viewers know fiction from reality. Most viewers begin watching these crime shows with no education on the forensic process – and since they know nothing about the topic, the 'Hollywood' fictional practices they see on these shows start to influence their perceptions. Why is this a problem? Unfortunately, The CSI Effect contributes to false perceptions and can ultimately lead to a disaster in courtrooms, especially a courtroom where the jurors are heavy CSI and other crime show watchers.
The CSI Effect Case Studies
Here are a few cases that were influenced by The CSI Effect:
Robert Blake
Actor Robert Blake was accused of murdering his wife, Bonnie Lee Bakley, in Blake's car outside of a restaurant in 2001. Although the prosecutor presented over 70 witnesses that testified against Blake, the lack of being able to present clear-cut evidence (as most of the cases in CSI contain) led the jury to acquit Blake of all charges. According to the CBS News article:
It was prosecutor Shellie Samuels' first loss in 50 murder cases. Though she presented more than 70 witnesses against Blake, she couldn't show the jury blood evidence, or conclusive gun-shot residue.
Oregon District Attorney, Josh Marquis adds:
Jurors now expect us to have a DNA test for just about every case, they expect us to have the most advanced technology possible, and they expect it to look like it does on television.
Marina Calabro
Marina Calabro was an elderly woman who was murdered by her nephew and his friends in 2001. The CSI Effect was evident as the suspects were heavy viewers of the crime show Forensic Files. As their infatuation with the show intensified, the boys came to the conclusion that it would be rather easy to commit murder and get away with it. A few days before Christmas, Marina's nephew, Anthony Calabro, kept watch outside while his friends murdered the 84-year-old using techniques they learned from television. The boys made it look like she fell down the stairs by dragging the body to the stairs and placing a trash bag next to her.
The murder was ruled an accident until one of the boys' friends went to the police upon hearing the story of how the crime happened.
Jermaine McKinney
Jermaine McKinney broke into a home and murdered a mother and daughter. As a fan of the show Crime Scene Investigation, McKinney had implemented many tactics he had learned from the show, including using bleach to wipe the blood off of his hands as well as burning the bodies of the victims in the basement. McKinney even covered the inside of his car so that blood wouldn't get transferred.
Although he was careful in his crime, McKinney had overlooked a few obvious things that his favorite show didn't teach him. McKinney was found guilty and received two life sentences.
The CSI Effect can have a negative impact on society's perceptions. Are you a fan of crime shows? Which one is your favorite? Let us know below.

The Department of Environmental Facilities workers have spent this scorching day hosing and scooping chlorine into an open manhole adjacent to Horan's Landing where .
Just what the quantity is is uncertain, and Superintendent of Maintenance Joe LaBella on the site directed me to the Commissioner's office to get a sense of the bigger picture.
DEF Commissioner Tom Lauro further described the mechanics of our sewage system in Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow and what precipiated such a drastic, but not unheard of, result.
Lauro said the problem, which has happened several times before, is with the 30-inch diameter pressurized "force main" line that runs from the Tarrytown Pump Station uphill roughly along Church Street, crosses Broadway, and connects with the Aqueduct until it takes a left at Route 119, and follows the Saw Mill Parkway to its next pump station stop in North Yonkers.
It's this main line, part of which runs inside the Old Croton Aqueduct, which experienced a break Tuesday. The pipe, he said, developed a hole on the top at Leroy Street and as a result, about 500,000 gallons of sewage ran inside the aqueduct, which no longer carries water but telecommunications lines, starting around 10 a.m. Lauro said the telecommunications lines would not be damaged because they are housed in their own pipes inside the aqueduct. The foreign sewage in the aqueduct flowed to Yonkers where it exited out a storm drain.
Tuesday night, workers shut down the pumps to drain and work on the damaged pipe. This resulted in an overflow in the gravity-run system usually connecting houses to the pump station by way of going naturally downhill to the easiest outlet, which happens now with this bypass to be at Horan's Landing in Sleepy Hollow. Here, the workers noted the outflow beginning, he said, at 7:15 a.m. which remains ongoing at of Wednesday afternoon.
Because the discharge is "ongoing" until the pipe is fixed and the bypass restarted, there are no figures available on the actual amount of sewage entering the waterway verses the "millions of gallons" first offered in the Health Department alert.
Lauro said the pump station moves 2.7 million gallons in an average day, so you can figure it is indeed in the millions after a full day.
The County Health Department would come to Horan's Landing Wednesday at 3 p.m. to take water samples. They will have the results 24 hours later and then report on whether the water advisory can be lifted or not. Or they might need to take another sample at that point, said Lauro.
Contrary to the initial report that said the water advisory was in effect from Croton Point Park to "all points south," Lauro said the water was unaffected south of Yonkers, where a smaller but negligible amount of sewage is also being discharged as a result of the Tarrytown break.
"There is no impact south of Yonkers," he said. He noted that the Iron Man race involving swimming in the Hudson in NYC this weekend "should not be affected."
Lauro said the water advisory would likely be lifted shortly after the discharge stopped since "there's just so much water in the Hudson." Lauro also addressed those who expressed concerns about living in closest vicinity to this discharge site, specifying that it's an advisory against being in the water itself not near it.
For those wondering how old is our old system, the main force line dates to the 1970s, Lauro said. Which is "not old-old" but "due to be replaced." The county is actually in design phase to replace that line, which would of course be quite an undertaking involving open excavation and drilling something tunnel-like along its long route.
Lauro agreed people don't know what happens when they flush their toilets until something like this happens.
"Out of sight, out of mind," he said.

Selecting the right lawn mower for you
How many have a screwdriver in your toolbox at the moment? If you're like me, this may be too numerous to count. I have at least five different Philips-head screwdriver. Why? Well they are different sizes and are used for various purposes. There are a variety of tasks Philips screwdriver, and for each task, select the best screwdriver.
Mower is a tool that should be tailored to the job. If you were given the task of cutting the median in a stretch of 20 miles of Interstate 10, what kind of engine would you use? Maybe some kind of tractor. If you have a mansion and is responsible for cutting the grass just a tiny airways in your backyard fence (say 20 feet by 20 feet), you still want the tractor to be used? Of course not.
Electric lawn mowers, both wired and wireless, has increased in popularity over the last three decades. Why? Since many of us out there who have small to medium-sized lawn and the benefits of cutting machines, smaller lighter. We appreciate that there is no hassle with spilled gasoline, exhaust fumes, and cranky, sometimes it's hard to be kept burning season after season to start.
Are there any disadvantages to electric lawn mowers? Of course. We need to cut the cord dragging in the garden. We need to flush the extension when we finish. We must not forget to charge us if we have to go the wireless route. An electric mower will not cut the 1-acre lawn.

We here in Fitchburg do not need to look any further than our current sewer-separation project to see the challenges presented by federally unfunded mandates.
How much more can we take?
In a recent debate with her Republican challenger, Jon Golnik, Niki Tsongas was asked if we are better off than we were two years ago. She replied, "Absolutely better off than we were two years ago."
We are not sure who Rep. Tsongas is referring to as better off, but we do not believe she means residents of Fitchburg. How could she with unemployment still over 9 percent, wages down and hundreds of homes still in foreclosure?
Are those of us who are paying 60 percent higher sewer bills, higher taxes and seeing home values decline consistently "absolutely better off"?
Fitchburg's not alone. Unemployment in the whole region is above the state average -- this is what a recovery looks like to Rep. Tsongas?
We have been impressed by Jon Golnik, not only for his focus and ideas on empowering small businesses to grow and hire again, but also for the way he has run his campaign. He's been a visible presence in the city and surrounding towns -- not just at official events or fundraisers, but actually meeting the people, knocking on doors, speaking with city councilors, and talking to people directly to learn more about the real challenges we face.
With politicians refusing to work together in Washington, we are struck at how Golnik and his campaign reach out to all citizens. He campaigns in places Republicans do not typically go in order to meet traditionally Democratic voters, even opening a dedicated campaign office here in Fitchburg. He recognizes that politics is about addition and not about subtraction, and about reaching out to build coalitions. The Boston Globe perhaps captured it best when describing the type of campaign that Golnik is waging, writing that "Golnik distinguishes himself by running an upbeat race, largely rejecting the sour style of many Republican congressional candidates. ... Golnik's positions are refreshingly light on rigid ideology....He also speaks movingly of his own experience as 'Pell Grant kid' and the need to make college more affordable. ... Golnik shows promise as a consensus-builder, something that is badly needed in his party and in Congress."
We believe how a candidate campaigns reflects how he or she will govern, and while Rep. Tsongas feels free to vote 95 percent of the time with the leadership of her party, Golnik has shown he will listen to everyone regardless of ideology.
Golnik is the kind of goal-oriented representative with a "can do" attitude that we need more of in Congress. He doesn't have an ideological agenda beyond growing the economy and creating jobs. He recognizes the need to raise revenues but not by raising taxes on the working men and women of this district. He realizes the best way to increase revenues is to lower taxes, leaving more of our money with us so the economy can grow and businesses can hire.
Rep. Tsongas says Golnik's promise not to raise taxes on us during a weak economy makes him "irrelevant." We disagree. We believe it makes him our best choice for U.S. representative. Please join us in supporting Jon Golnik for Congress on Tuesday, Election Day.
