text: Guest Post: Pluralism in the Face of Tragedy by Emma Goldstein |Apr 24, 2013|Comments Guest blogger Emma Goldstein is a senior at Tufts University with a double major in Community Health and American Studies. She is the student president of Tufts Hillel. As soon as I boarded the bus back to Medford with the other Tufts marathon volunteers on Monday, I started to think about Shabbat. I needed a separation from this week of my life, that seemed to be the most frightening and violating I had ever experienced. When I woke on Friday morning to the news of a full city lockdown, and a Hollywood-style search for the alleged bombers, my first thought was about that evening. I stayed glued to Twitter and CNN all day long, hoping a resolution just might come about before the sun would set. At 2PM, I started to receive the calls and the texts and the emails: "What about Shabbat?" Our Shabbat services and dinners at Tufts Hillel had been increasing in attendance this year, several weeks nearing 200 students at dinner. Shabbat had become ingrained in the Tufts ethos. When things were unsettling, Shabbat would happen. In the middle of a snowstorm that set back the entire northeast, we had Shabbat. After a student at our university had been critically injured, we had Shabbat. How could this night, a night where we needed Shabbat more than ever, be any different? Throughout the day, I had been checking in with Rabbi Summit, our Executive Director, about the contingency plans for that night. Could we do services, but not serve dinner? Would the university allow us to open the building? What if the lockdown were lifted at 5:30 or 6? Together, we crafted a plan. We would arrange for services to be held in the common rooms of a dorm in the uphill and downhill regions of campus. We gathered a few service leaders and suggested to do the best they could to make the services feel welcoming and comforting without siddurim and with a potentially diverse group of students. Just minutes before services were to begin, the Massachusetts governor, Deval Patrick, announced from the television screens in the common rooms that the shelter in place mandate had been lifted. We combined services and joined together in one common room. Someone turned off the television; we pulled over couches, chairs and end tables to form a circle for our minyan. At this point, there were fifty students gathered for Shabbat. We do not normally daven (pray) together. We have a set Reform service and a set egalitarian Conservative service. On this Friday, we were all in one public place. Our service leaders began with an invitation for students to join in and help make the service feel "right" for them. As we prayed Kabbalat Shabbat, different melodies were introduced. Before Ma'ariv, one student offered a brief drash (explanation) on the week's portion. We counted the omer and then we sang Debbie Friedman's Mi Shebeirach. We concluded with Yigdal, a part of the liturgy that often is not included in a Reform service, but that lifted the community with its quick tempo as the sun completely set. In the Hillel context, we often discuss pluralism. Whom should we be accommodating? Who can feel comfortable where? We worry about being inclusive while honoring tradition. I have spent hours and hours talking and thinking about how, at Tufts Hillel, we can be a place where the diverse Jewish community at Tufts can live, learn, and pray together. On Friday night, there did not need to be a discussion about ideology or how to please everyone involved. Our pluralism worked because it had to. As we finished services, news of the capture of the second bomber began to circulate and we were able to breathe a bit more easily. This past week, there was an eerie silence in Boston; there was an eerie silence at Tufts. But just as it does each week, Shabbat came and this week, we found that we could all pray together.

Ann has spent her 80 years focused on the things she loves: family, church, traveling, sewing, quilting, shopping, skiing, gardening, temple and missionary service, ball games, dance recitals, horse shows, solitaire, reading, camping and family history.
She keeps young by staying in touch with childhood friends.
But above all, she loves being with her family. She and Max have been married 61 years and have lived and raised their family in Hooper. They have three children, nine beautiful and talented grandchildren and 10 darling great-grandchildren so far.
Ann is busy from sunup to sundown. If you can't find her on her birthday, try in town. She will be getting a pedicure with her granddaughters.

When husband and wife duo America Ferrera and Ryan Piers Williams decided to open their latest film "X/Y" with their own sex scene, there's one reaction they didn't quite expect: laughter.
The cast of William's second directorial effort joined HuffPost Live's Ricky Camilleri on Monday, following the premiere of the film at New York City Tribeca Film Festival. "X/Y" stars Williams, Ferrera, Melonie Diaz and Jon Paul Phillips and is a character-driven drama that focuses on the lives of four friends struggling to connect with each other and the world.
Ferrera, who starred in the recently released Cesar Chavez biopic, was first helping produce the film before taking on the role of Sylvia. In the film, the actress stars alongside real-life husband Williams to portray an on-screen relationship on the rocks.
"The movie opens with you having a pretty sad sex scene," Camilleri asked the duo. "What was that like, watching that with 900 people?"
"They started laughing!" Ferrera responded.
The HuffPost host quickly interjected, "What were they laughing at?"
"The discomfort of this relationship... Ryan and I were shocked, it was the last thing that we anticipated, is that people would laugh," Ferrera continued. "It's a very, like you said, uncomfortable, sad sex scene that then turns into a fight. And I started to realize that the laughs were laughs of familiarity. That this relationship that was obviously deep and intimate but it'd grown a little cold and distant. And people were laughing, I think, because they recognized it."
During the interview, the cast spoke about the struggles of each character and how they represented some of the struggles of those caught between "generation X and generation Y."
Check out the full interview above.

Contact persons: Dr. Mike Hoyt and David Quattlebaum
This group meets Tuesday mornings at 6:45 for a hot breakfast prepared by Tony and Howard (cost $5 per person).
One hour study begins at 7:00 a.m. This fall the group will study reflections on the life of David from First and Second Samuel using a study book by Eugene H. Peterson "Leap Over a Wall".
(Study books are available in the Church office.)
Group meets in the room beneath the sanctuary. All are welcome!
Contact Person: Dr. Mike Hoyt and John Byce
This group meets on the first Tuesday evening of each month (except July) from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at The Community Tap, 205 Wade Hampton Blvd., Greenville, SC 29609. The group gathers for a time of fellowship and discussion of the Scripture. The name of this informal Bible study group comes from the casual discussions that Martin Luther would have with friends around the dinner table. Students and fellow reformers would flock to Luther's table for the food and drink and stick around for the conversation. Many of these conversations were recorded by students and later published as "Table Talk."
This group tries to recreate this type of setting and encourage a fellowship-based discussion of scripture. What better place to meet than in the back of a beer store in the North Main neighborhood. The Community Tap has agreed to host this group. Light food is provided and drinks are available for purchase.
For more information, please contact John Byce.
Teacher: Rev. Debbie Kyser
This class meets on Tuesday evenings from 6:45 until 9:00 or Friday mornings from 9:15 to 11:30 in the Kelly Library (Room 25) beginning on September 12th and 15th and will meet through May 2018.
This is a Lectionary-based study, which will usually tie in with the Scripture passages for the following Sunday's worship. The Lectionary is a listing of Bible passages compiled by most of the mainline denominations, designed to (1) coordinate the Scriptures we study and preach with the church year, (2) ensure that over a three-year period, most of the Bible will have been covered, and (3) strengthen the connections among the various branches of the Church Universal as we look together at the Scriptures we all hold in common.
Each week we will look at four to six Scriptures. These will typically include a Psalm, another Old Testament passage, a Gospel lesson, and a reading from one of the letters. The curriculum material focuses on one of these passages; but in our class meetings, we will also look at how these Scriptures speak to each other. One of the important tenets of Presbyterianism is that we understand Scripture best when we allow Scripture to interpret Scripture. In other words, by exploring one passage, we may also learn to understand another passage more clearly.
Last year the class found that this study allowed us to become more familiar with the entire Bible, but at the same time gave us a chance to look deeply into particular passages. We explored a great variety of Scriptures and a variety of styles of Scripture. We will continue that study with this year's lectionary. This is not a repeat of last year, but an ever-changing, ongoing relationship with the living Word of God.
This study is open to anyone, regardless of your level of experience with Bible study. All you need is a Bible, a thirst for knowledge of God's Word, and a willingness to be open to the Bible and each other. Because there is no book to buy, this is a class you can join at any time instead of having to wait until it starts over again. It will, however, require some preparation. I will hand out reading assignments, background information, and questions to consider that will cover several weeks at a time, and I will communicate information by e-mail when appropriate. The only cost for this class is $10.00 a person per year to help defray the cost of printing the reproducible handouts that are used.
For more information, please contact Debbie Kyser.

Lady Gaga hailed teenage education activist Malala Yousafzai at the Glamour Women of the Year event in New York on Monday (11Nov13), insisting the Pakistani youth was more deserving of the magazine's December (13) cover than herself.
The Paparazzi hitmaker graces the front of Glamour's annual special issue and while she is grateful for the honour, she felt an image of Yousafzai would have been a better choice.
Accepting an award at the Carnegie Hall gala, Gaga admitted the spotlight belonged to fellow honouree Yousafzai, who hit the headlines last year (12) when she was shot in the head by Pakistani Taliban operatives who disagreed with her outspoken support of education for girls in her homeland.
She told the audience, "Who really belongs on the cover is not me. If I could forfeit my Glamour cover, I would give it to Malala. You're so inspiring, so young and so brilliant."
And Gaga then took aim at the image of her Glamour magazine editors chose to use on the cover, adding, "Malala used her voice, so I'm going to use mine... The picture, which I'm very grateful for and very happy to be on this cover, I felt it was too beautiful. I felt my skin looked too perfect, and my hair looked too soft. This is not usually how I dress or how I carry myself...
"I believe my true mission is to inspire young people to fight back against forces that make them feel like they're not beautiful or important. I do not look like this when I wake up in the morning."
Others feted among Glamour's Women of the Year included Kerry Washington, models Christy Turlington and Liya Kebede, Microsoft founder Bill Gates' philanthropist wife Melinda, and Barbra Streisand, who was presented with the publication's Lifetime Achievement award.

Gynna Rosas, a fourth-grade teacher at Robert M. Bracker Elementary School, was recognized at the March 26, 2018 governing board meeting, which was held at Bracker.
Rosas, who started in Nogales Unified School District 22 years ago as a teacher's aide, is a product of NUSD schools, said Supt. Fernando Parra.
"Ms. Rosas is an outstanding educator with energy and passion," Parra said, adding "She relates to everyone personally."
Rosas spoke at the meeting and shared her gratitude for everyone she works with and for being recognized, saying that when a teacher is honored like this, it lets him or her know that they "are on the right track".
The NUSD governing board, as part of its community outreach efforts, was holding its meeting at Bracker. Parent Robert Nicolaus, who spoke about why his two daughters are attending Bracker even though he lives in Rio Rico late in the meeting, said that Rosas was a very positive influence on his daughter who went from not wanting to go to school to not wanting to have school vacations because it meant she would not be going, and that Rosas was a major influence in that change.

"Temprid worked so well for me in this infestation that I decided that I wanted to use it religiously," Dunlap said. "I'm a one-man operation, and I need to have the best chemicals I can buy. Right now, Temprid from Bayer is my liquid product of choice."
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. (PRWEB) February 12, 2013
Robert Dunlap, owner of No-Bugs Pest Management in Monroe, Ohio, has been announced as the Bayer Temprid Save the Day Contest Winner. Environmental Science, a division of Bayer CropScience LP, called upon PMPs last summer to share triumphant stories of instances when they saved the day by tackling a pest problem using Temprid® SC Insecticide. Following two months of online voting by PMPs across the country, Dunlap has been declared the contest winner and recipient of free Temprid® and an all-expense-paid trip for four to Las Vegas, a much-deserved vacation for providing such a critical and exceptional service to his customers. Dunlap received the highest number of votes for his story when he provided treatments at no charge for a blind couple living with thousands of bed bugs.
Norman Barclift, General Insect Control Product Manager at Environmental Science, is happy to announce Dunlap as the contest winner.
"Robert shared an incredible story with us and his peers about a time when he certainly saved the day, donating his time for members of his community," Barclift said. "We're extremely proud to offer a product and platform that has allowed him to provide results and complete customer satisfaction."
"I am thrilled to receive this award from my industry peers and want to thank all PMPs who contributed their votes to the contest," Dunlap said. "It was an honor to represent my business and devotion for this industry, along with the other finalists who shared their compelling stories and passions for helping their communities live pest free."
Dunlap's story of success comes from a visit to the home of a blind couple who had been suffering from a severe bed bug infestation and lack of effective treatment. Using Temprid®, Dunlap was able to successfully treat and rid the couple's property of bed bugs, eliminating the non-stop bug bites and giving them peace of mind. He provided the services to the couple at no charge—a gesture he strives to achieve at least once a month for a local home or business owner in great need of a pest control treatment.
"Temprid worked so well for me in this infestation that I decided that I wanted to use it religiously," Dunlap said. "I'm a one-man operation, and I need to have the best chemicals I can buy. Right now, Temprid from Bayer is my liquid product of choice."

Wank Tribe Live Album
That is right! We recorded this album live over a month's worth of performances at the Volstead Lounge at the fabulous Me Mer Mo music nights. It's incredible. Really, it is way better than it should be. It's definitely noise music but played live by a band and the vibe is a little American impressionist. Love it or leave it!
Blind Sign at the Off Center
a unique musical experience. Two of Austin's best musicians, TJ Wade and D Madness, team up to give you a taste of their perspective, they are both blind and will be performing for an audience immersed in darkness. Also, the opening bands have to play in darkness too! Brown Whörnet is so honored to be invited to this special event and we have been practicing very hard (in the dark) we will be joined by Sam Arnold and Greg Yancey and Eric Roach. The inimitable Toxic Water will blow minds first. This will be unforgettable. May 6, 7pm at the Off Center.

Aw man, I just love listening to Dr. Octagon on Brown Whörnet tour back in the day. So much fun! Now MoneyChicha opens for this iconic rapper at an iconic venue, Antone's. Bring it!
Kool Keith
After single-handedly redefining "warped" as the mind and mouth behind the Bronx-based Ultramagnetic MCs, "Kool" Keith Thornton — aka Rhythm X, aka Dr. Octagon, aka Dr. Dooom, aka Mr. Gerbik — headed for the outer reaches of the stratosphere with a variety of solo projects. A one-time psychiatric patient at Bellevue, Keith's lyrical thematics remained as free-flowing here as they ever were with the NY trio, connecting up complex meters with fierce, layers-deep metaphors and veiled criticisms of those who "water down the sound that comes from the ghetto." His own debut single, "Earth People" by Dr. Octagon, was quietly released in late 1995 on the San Francisco-based Bulk Recordings, and the track spread like wildfire through the hip-hop underground, as did the subsequent self-titled full-length released the following year. Dr. Octagon's left-field fusion of sound collage, fierce turntable work, and bizarre, impressionistic rapping found audiences in the most unlikely of places, from hardcore hip-hop heads to jaded rock critics.
Music Directing Cabaret at The Mary Moody Theater
Happy to be music directing the classic musical Cabaret with St. Edwards University. Greta students and professorship there, very supportive. Also, who doesn't want to work with Danny Herman and Rocker Versatique? Lovely!!!
FROM BROADWAY WORLD: Directed by Danny Herman, with choreography by Herman and Rocker Verastique, this excellent staging utilizes the unique Theater in the Round setting of MMNT to transport the audience into the seedy, dreary and desperate world of the Kit Kat Club with aplomb. With the interesting decision to place the orchestra not in one place but scattered throughout the top of the audience seating areas, and to utilize every bit of playing space the theater has to offer, they manage to seamlessly immerse us into this story and keep us there until they choose to release us back to reality

Ex/Static Virtual Reality by Quba Michalski
I was lucky to get to work with the extremely talented VR film maker Quba Michalski on this award winning film. Thank you Renè Pinnell and Kaleidoscope Film Festival. This text from Quba:
The world stands still Yet, my thoughts race forward -- Winner of Special Prize for Innovation in Storytelling at World VR Forum 2017, Ex\Static combines elements of theatrical stage design, light art, installation, and Quba Michalski's unique vision for VR spaces, taking the viewer on a surreal journey through thoughts on art, society, culture and technology. Created in a spirit of free flow of concepts and ideas, the spaces of Ex\Static represent thoughts racing through the busy mind looking for patterns, connections and new meanings. The work itself is an expression of pure joy of moving forward and inherent refusal to remain static.

COTFG: Sulphuric Symphony with Don McGreevy
Don McGreevy's TEMPORAL NATURE OF STABILITY by the SULPHURIC SYMPHONY
6:30pm Maria Chavez
7:00pm Thomas Echols
8:00pm Sulphuric Symphony: TNOS
Instrumentalists for this performance include: Daniel Mee, Rachel Fuhrer, Nick Lombardo, Steve Parker, Leila Henley, Alan Retamozo, Lauren Gurgiolo, Sonya Gonzales, Adam Hilton, Mohadev, Thomas Echols , Carrie Clark, Henna Chou, Eric Roach, Michelle Born Kahan, Anne Heller, Janie Cowan, Laura Dykes, Brent Fariss, Peter Stopschinski, Derrick Fore, Laura Brackney
The TEMPORAL NATURE of STABILITY is a post-minimalist symphonic piece composed for electric guitars and basses, acoustic upright basses, trombones, bass clarinet, organs, and percussion. Similar to Don's previous "symphonettes", TNOS is an experiment. Aside from intended tonalities and melodies, its results remain largely indeterminate. It is intended to impress upon listeners an awareness of our synthetic biologic imprint for succeeding generations.
The Chernobyl disaster, like all byproducts of industrial economies, technological advancements, and unbridled profiteering, does not loom large enough on our minds, but still wavers somewhere in our collective unconscious. This basic uncertainty is suggested by removing the meter from the music and using modified guitars, a familiar tool made unfamiliar using an alternate tuning. TNOS is here to serve as a mnemonic of imprudent solutions, rather than those that arise from a more thorough understanding of potential consequences.
TNOS is slow, brooding, and delicately heavy, reflecting the insidious contamination of the city of Pripyat while its citizens slept unaware and unwarned. The lack of tempo and oddly resounding guitars depict the weary, inexperienced nature of the Chernobyl plant's engineers. This music is all encompassing and emotive and unconventionally intertwines minimalism and pop melodies.
Don McGreevy is a multi-instrumentalist, performer, and composer who lives in Seattle, Washington. He works extensively in many disciplines, including post-, orchestral-, psychedelic-, avant-, progressive-rock, traditional blues, and modern composition. Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, he studied piano and singing as a youngster. His father, Don, Sr., taught him drums and exposed him to performances as early as 4 years old. He is a founding member and composer for Genius Award nominees, the Master Musicians of Bukkake. Don also works as electric bassist with Doom/Drone pioneers, Earth. He has worked as touring drummer for Kinski and has appeared on recordings playing guitar. Alongside Milky Burgess, Don co-founded the Yada Yada Blues band who perform anachronistic interpretations of 60s and 70s Mississippi blues music. He has worked with Eyvind Kang, Wayne Horvitz, Trey Spruance, Randall Dunn, Danny Barnes, Bobby Previte, Wolves in the Throne Room, Stephen O'Malley, and many more. Don has been composing guitar symphonies with traditional acoustic accompaniment since the late 90s.

String Quartet Smackdown III
Ill be helping a Graham Reynolds host this really great and unique event:
A follow up to the highly successful and sold-out "String Quartet Smackdown" I and II from late 2012 and 2015, this is a bracketed NCAA basketball tournament style competition using original string quartet compositions submitted by composers and musicians worldwide. It's like March Madness for the ears!
A jury of experts have selected sixteen of these compositions to move on to the "Smackdown" portion, where the audience will be directly involved in the decision process by texting a code to vote for their favorite piece, all performed by The Mother Falcon String Quartet, comprised of three members of the local orchestral band Mother Falcon (Olivia David, Lexi Cardenas, Clara Brill, and Diana Burgess). The winner of each round moves on in the tournament and the champion will receive a grand prize of $1,500, plus other items of recognition. Fun and engaging for the whole family!

October 16, 2016 at The Oculus at the World Trade Center in New York
Collaborating with Jenavieve Varga on live music for this unique, one-time-only 1,000 person meditation at the World Trade Center. Check out the room we are playing in called 'The Oculus'
The Big Quiet returns with something that's never been done before…
In collaboration with Kit and Ace and the Port Authority of NY, we're taking over Santiago Calatrava's new and stunning Oculus World Trade Center Transportation Hub. Reflecting the Oculus's unique shape, we're constructing 1000 seats in concentric circles for a massmeditation and sound experience, followed by a 360-degree string quartet, powerful vocalists, a surprise performance and live DJs.
A simple technique will be shared for first time meditators and a portion of all ticket sales will support the H.E.A.R.T. 9/11 foundation.
This was pretty amazing. The MTA tried to shut it down but the Oculus people were into it so we did it flash-mob style with a few hundred meditators and armed soldiers in camoflaugeas well as anti-terrorism police wandering around. They were all very cool. Everyone loved it. Good times!

Editing Shakespeare and Verdi for Melbourne
Totally immersed in this commission from Gertrude Opera in Melbourne, Austrailia: Re-orchestrate and edit the hell out of Verdi's opera based on Shakespeare's MacBeth.
McBeth could be your neighbour, the odd guy up the road with a McMansion and his own business...Mr & Mrs with an aptitude for glory led by an appetite for destruction...vandalised opulence...menacingly beautiful.
Click for Gertrude Opera Website
Gertrude Opera has commissioned a 're-imaging' of Verdi's score by US composer, Peter Stopschinski - orchestration for electric violin, electric guitar, trombone, double bass, keyboard and percussion - and will bring a 21st century aural sensibility to Verdi's sublime melodies. In our first co-production with Monk Parrots (NYC), a cast of 12 will present a 70minute version, sung in English. Set in fantasy modern Scotland where every day is All Hallow's Eve, in the Underground Cellar at Mitchelton winery, with Australia's most revered Verdi baritone, MICHAEL LEWIS OAM, in the title role.
Artistic Director: LINDA THOMPSON
Director/Designer: LUKE LEONARD (USA)
Verdi 're-imagined' by Composer PETER STOPSCHINKSI (USA)
Conductor: WARWICK STENGARDS
'THE SCOTTISH OPERA' VERDI/STOPSCHINSKI Violent themes - PG* All tickets $60
Its so much fun taking the red pencil to "the masters". I don't know why I put it in quotes. Those guys are pretty good and my love for MacBeth and the music Verdi wrote for it has come into full bloom. There is some amazing music in there plus: the re-orchestration includes electric guitar! Its totally messed up. I have about 2 months to complete the score. Its going quickly and I can't wait for the premier in Melbourne in September. Thanks to director Luke Leonard and artistic director and Lady MacBeth Linda Thompson. Boom. international baby.
Zirque Bois D'arc at The Mohawk
Bought my next door neighbor's Roland EP-30 especially for this gig with Bois D'Arc by mastermind Eric Roach. I'm helping record and produce the new album and we have a killer band with Eric, Peter Stopschinski, Cameron Page, Sam Arnold. We totally Jam. Here is an album review from Reverb Nation:
Zirque Bois D'Arc – Things I Should've Done Better
display for my love of Austin progressive rock groups, including Opposite Day, proud farmer, and the Orchestra stop motion, it shows that they have no stop sign on which the State of Texas will go in the next to see which lie ahead. One of the guitarists who have just had my brilliant ears up is a guitarist named Zirque Bois D'arc. It is an alter ego name for Eric Roach. He has been performing in bands in the Austin area, such as: Lick Lick, Baby Got Bacteria, and the stylings of bluegrass The fencesitters. Eric itself occurs since the 1980s, with more than 100 live acts as Membership while n 'there's no sign of stopping for him everywhere as trucks powerfully and see where it will go next. What I should have done better is his first solo album. He recorded music and his compositions demoed four years ago in Los Angeles. And what you will hear is a dystopian universe set with Zirque hypnotic guitar improvisations. He brought along people like Sam Arnold (Opposite Day) on Bass Drummers David Hobizal (brother Eddy Hobizal), Pat Kennedy Chuck Fischer (invisible czars), Matt Kelly (Lick Lick) on Organ and pianist Peter Stopschinski. Not to mention a horn section and strings on the album. But let's go directly to the music. The music itself is a haunting, surreal, avant-garde and experimental journey into the world that was once peaceful, transformed into hell. And the music of Eric defines the atmosphere of the place where he takes his guitar in these areas. There are 15 compositions on the album that just take me by surprise in the whole structure, nearly as whether he follows in the footsteps of Danny Elfman and Fred Frith (Henry Cow). I can hear some of Rock In Opposition sounds that looks as whether it was recorded in the mid-70s he nailed. On both tracks, player and Brilliant, is channeled improvisations and Fred Roger Trigaux (Univers Zero, Present) with Zappa touch to it. And it does not show everything, it is really showing its chops and it is freezing, which can be disturbing and sinister. Techniques and galloping percussion crescendo of David and Sam Hobizal bass goes into some amazing fretwork that has both a flavor and Jannick Top Jaco to it, shows the teamwork. gggggg has this wah psychedelic groove underwater funky with a quirky turn and zany while ASDF has a quiet movement with a bluesy section alarmingly brass before seguing in the deafening unexpected signatures a Hendrix-sk style that resembles Axis: Bold as Love -era on Flirt. experimental, electronic, classical and meet in full circle withNews. The strange synths, string section, and nightmarish just doing guitar licks my hair arms up where Stopchinski arranged for them Eric wants to see where the string head. Peter knows precisely where sounds with room-sk beauty to it and deafening intensity is believed. This is my fourth time listening to What I should have done better. And Eric Roach has really come into a circle that is now full. And I really had a blast enjoying this album with virtuosity, Crimson-sk, and the unexpected momentum that triggered this year and his new album, Songs approximately Russia I'll delve into later . But his first album, is a intellect-blowing experience that has made me want to play more of the music of Eric. Irresistible, Complex, Experimental and Avant-Garde, early Ziroque Bois d'Arc is an adventurous and energetic.

MAssacre of Spring Live at NMASS
So very pleased to get a second chance to perform Massacre of Spring (my percussion trio and piano arrangement and reconstruction of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring) at NMASS festival this year. Thank you to Henna Chou and Melissa Seely. The band is incredible featuring Thomas Burritt – marimba, Chuck Fischer – drum kit, Cullen Faulk – vibes, glock, bass drum and Peter Stopschinski – piano. I have very few of my Vacation With Stravinsky graphic novels left which will be for sale at the show. I was reminded when I began revisiting this piece that I only arranged the first part of the Rite. Someday I need to do that second part. It starts with the Tatooine music from starwars.

The Beachcomber Boys: A Reading by Playwright Myra Slotnick and Composer Peter Stopschinski
WHENFriday, April 22, 7pm
PRICEFree and open to the public
"The Beachcomber Boys" is a fictional tale of the historic true-life fraternity of painters and poets and novelists and playwrights who, since 1916, have gathered each and every Saturday night for an evening of rollicking good fun and certain debauchery, in a not-so-disclosed decrepit location, on a spit of sand jutting out to the sea, known as Provincetown, Massachusetts. The story, set in 1953, amidst the Hollywood Blacklist, touches upon the intersection of art, literature, fame and family, and the disappointment of failure, in work and love. Driven by this, seeming, male dominance, it is also propelled by the powerful force of the women who orbit and confound their lives; words are tossed and hearts are wrecked and the foghorn blows and the wind whips and the bells chime! And art is made. "The Beachcomber Boys" is an age-old fishing village "love storm" and, as such, has an emotional rip-tide, where some swim safe to shore…and others are pulled out to sea.
University of Texas New Play Festival: The Orange Garden
So stoked to be asked to compose music for this, the graduating play of graduate playwright Joanna Garner and Directed by the fantastic Alexandra Bassiakou Shaw. I had the pleasure of working with Joanna on her play 100 Heartbreaks which was a honky tonk musical. This is so different. Set mostly in Iran in the 1970's this play explores social differences, love, and geographical displacement. I had a blast making the music and used the lovely voice of Erin Ivey on much of the soundtrack. The play runs April 15-April 23, 2016 in the Oscar G. Brockett theater. Check it out!
She Loves Me at The Mary Moody Northen Theater
UPDATE: Our production got nominated for several Austin Critic's Table awards (including Best Musical Director) and ended up in a tie for first place in Best Musical Production. Sweet!
Running through April 17, 2016
Tis the season of musicals for me right now. Among all the others I am also music directing and playing piano in the 1960's Broadway underdog hit, She Loves Me book by Joe Masteroff, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, music by Jerry Bock (Fiddler on the Roof) There is a lot of great things about this musical including a crazy-ass plot twist at the end of act one and some really well scored music. I had to create a 6 piece orchestra reduction from the original 12 piece version which was a ton of work but well worth it. The students are really excellent and we have 3 equity actors acting alongside the students in this production. Our fearless director is Nick Mayo and he has a super clear and passionate vision of this production. He has big Broadway cred and also starred in She Loves Me in high school at the age of 16 so has lots of great insight into the piece.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland @ Zach Scott Theater
Running through May 15, 2016
They lead the kids all over the lovely grounds of Zach Scott (down near Town Lake) and the kids watch little performances and sing songs and dance. There is sweet video design by Stephanie Busing and awesome actors including children and adults. See Humpty Dumpty sitting on a wall and a great huge Caterpillar and Tweedle Dee and… you get the picture. Its totally cool and I wrote the music including a surf-punk tantrum song that Alice sings in the beginning that makes me so happy every single time.
I super loved collaborating with Katie Bender and Gabrielle Reisman from Underbelly and Nat Miller from Zach Scott's Children's Theater department. My first time at Zach Scott and this thing is really crazy and fun and aparently the kids are going crazy for it.
Erin Ivey at the Long Center Rollins Theater
Erin Ivey has the most lovely voice both physically (expressed with her clear bell like sound) and her spiritual voice (expressed through her lyrics and vocal expression). I have heard her name around town but never had the pleasure of hearing her. Now, through Chuck Pinnell (film score composer and guitarist extraordinaire), I am proud to say i'm currently playing piano for her and we just had an really fantastic gig at the one of Austin's loveliest venues. It also happened to be our first gig as a band!
Our band is amazing and we have a very cinematic sound. Every musician is killer and a pleasure to play with. Steve Schwelling – Drums, Chris Afflerbough – Upright Bass, Chuck Pinnell – Guitars, Peter Stopschinski – Piano, and of course Erin Ivey – Guitar/Mandolin
Music writer Jim Caluguri posted on social media right after the gig: They were subtlely fabulous and the 1st great local show of the year! Album coming soon…
New Opera Commission

Brown Whörnet back on the crawfish belt
BROWN WHöRNET is playing in Houston, New Orleans and Austin May 23-30th 2014. We're playing two shows with the fantastic and unique double-guitar-blade-weilding-poetic-avant-swamp rockers CHURCHWOOD and once with Flying Balalaika Brothers and OMGWTFBBQ. We don't play all that often but when we do we freakin' tear shit up! Here is a nice little featurette:
Bizarre, frenetic, sometimes offensive, and always amazing, experimental rock collective Brown Whörnet has survived as long as it has on sheer grit and immense talent. The Austin eightpiece rocks out hardcore as effectively as they dismantle jazz, funk, klezmer, or anything else they get their eight sets of grubby hands on. The thinking man's freakout session, their music leans as hard on Sun Ra as it does on Beefheart, as much Zappa as Minutemen. Chaos has ruled since their first show in 1993, and though the lineup has undergone changes over the course of the band's decade-plus history, the sense of anything-goes and God-what's-next has never left them. Currently composed of players with the monikers of Stin-G, RUNPMS, XSP, JimE, and Gaseous C, membership has evolved and revolved, including the likes of Juicy, AUNT J, MC Squeak, Chef Poonstick, Wolff, J, Oscar, and McKinney. Somewhere in there is Peter Stopschinski, composer, keyboardist, and a driving force behind this band and frequent collaborator with Golden Arm Trio's Graham Reynolds. – Christopher Hess

The elusive social ROI. Executives demand it, marketers search for it.
But it's actually not so elusive, especially for those marketers who've embraced the latest social technologies. In fact, there is a treasure trove of data available.
Perhaps, however, marketers should not be thinking old-school marketing metrics for today's social web. For social, it's more about the ROE (return on engagement) than the ROI.
Measurement is the number one priority
There's no denying the importance of social for marketers, as Facebook closes in on 1bn consumers and Twitter tops 200m, not to mention emerging platforms like Google+, Instagram and Pinterest.
And as smartphone proliferation continues to rise, literally hundreds of millions of mobile consumers will make social networks their on-the-go portal. Mobile social will be the future and provide us an even more personal and detailed look at a consumer, virtually 24/7. That's a lot of data.
By now, every major brand has a social presence. But proving exactly what that social presence is doing for your brand, and how it helps you reach our goals, should be priority number one for marketers.
Return on engagment (ROE)
Executives are asking for analytics to prove social ROI, but social is a completely different medium that requires a different way of looking. Executives might be looking for the old-school "ROI" but "ROE" can offer much more including brand awareness and loyalty that lay the foundations for invaluable consumer-to-brand relationships.
An engaged consumer can be much more powerful than a few sales, they can be a walking brand ambassador.
We've assembled and integrated over 120 social media metrics into our Social Relationship Management (SRM) platform. That number grows daily. The data is available, and the technologies exist to harness and make sense of that data. But each brand is uniquely different and must learn what they want to know and why.
For most of the people in the executive suite, however, there's not a great desire to swim through an ocean of data looking for the one little pearl that they need. CEOs want to know that social connection "a" led to consumer pounds spent "b".
That was never a demand for traditional branding media like billboards, but times have changed and companies are used to the idea of digital affording them more and better numbers.
The fact is, the ability to track consumer behavior on social is already quite impressive. Those abilities are evolving and changing every day, and even if the ROI pearl is not yet here for CEOs, social marketers have great cause to embrace and celebrate the analytics that are available to them, because they greatly inform both content and strategy.
The first course of action is to determine which statistics are relevant to your efforts and what you're trying to accomplish. With too much of a good thing available, parsing out the key performance indicators (KPI) you want to use to drive your decision-making clears up the picture considerably.
A third party management tool that allows for a customisable analytics dashboard streamlines that process. If it's one that also allows for different reports for different internal stakeholders, then so much the better, but brands must establish what "success" looks like before they can attempt to measure it.
Facebook facts
Here are some of the many Facebook facts that should be available to you, all by customisable date ranges:
- Fan total.
- Fan growth and loss.
- Fan demographics.
- External referrers with traffic counts and percentages.
- Unique reach count, paid reach, organic reach, viral reach.
- Total impressions, paid impressions, organic impressions, viral impressions, and impressions by story type.
- Post totals, post types, top posts, best post times and days.
- Sources that drive fan acquisition.
- Top countries, cities and languages.
- Day to day totals for Page stories, people talking about this, engaged users and Page consumption.
- Sentiment.
- Top engaged users.
With these metrics, social marketers should be able to not only paint a clear picture of who their audience is and how they're behaving on social, but also have the ability to quickly determine how content or a specific campaign is resonating with them.
Marketing is a two-step proposition:
- Step one is to attract and capture the attention of your target.
- Step two is to effectively communicate your value proposition to them.
Step two revolves around your marketing operations' ability to craft effective content for that collected community that in turn leads to desired branding and yes, sales. Analytics can show you if and how you captured attention… and at what level consumers engaged with that content. There's much that can be gleaned from that data, and in a real-time response.
Marketers have largely led their businesses into social. Increasingly, however, other organisations within the enterprise are utilising social media to build relationships with today's socially-connected consumer.
Enterprise brands are looking for a more comprehensive approach that connects across departments for a seamless brand experience with their consumers, across all touch points. Social analytics will play a huge role in providing that full picture.
The future of social analytics
We await new and more comprehensive analytics that get brands closer to where they want to be.
This could include:
- A more automated way to monitor organic comments and tie them to specific posts, campaigns, or check-ins.
- Tying social activity to existing CRM profiles across the enterprise to monitor the consumer throughout and across all touch points.
- Attributing a social touch point directly to an individual sale (sCommerce, coupon redemption and location-based deals are already doing some of this).
- Integrating social analytics completely with www analytics.
Until then, there are more than enough metrics to tell a strongly convincing ROE story.
As social continues to grow and mature, look for brands to deploy a more comprehensive, seamless approach that ties together enterprise for a consumer's entire digital footprint. That future is much closer that you might think.

I don't see how social media can make money out of ROE. Any advertiser that's comparing an ROI in one media with ROE in another is not going to get ROE past its finance dept.
With regards to "Attributing a social touch point directly to an individual sale" --
I don't think it's a simple one-to-one relationship with social media. There might be multiple interactions before a sale, including social and traditional online marketing. How can you definitively say one clinched the deal. I think it's always going to be a combination of factors.
Good points here but I think we need to unpack them a bit to make the case for ROE a bit more clear.
You can certainly measure ROI in the traditional sense, but those need to be transactional data points. In that way, measuring campaign success is fairly easy if you have properly connected all the dots between social activities and sales.
ROE (as described) is much more sticky because it's essentially trying to measure the value of an entire social media program, which is very difficult because a "social media program" ideally works across business units helping each one achieve difference goals. But the value of socially active customers and socially sourced prospects can be measured with sCRM. So while you may not be able to measure the monetary value of each post your community manager makes, you should be able to use sCRM data to measure the value of your socially active customers in terms of their engagement with your properties. They key is asking the right questions. For example: Do socially active customers spend more, are they more loyal, do they refer more? Are there differences between customers who engage more with us on FB vs. Twitter?
Most companies will track and measure every phone call and email that goes out to customers, but are very much in the dark when it comes to all the touchpoints their customers have with their brand on social. If we start to use social data as a source of business intelligence, we can then start to make better business decisions.
Nick you asked how you can attribute a particular sale to Social Media efforts, with engaged consumers you can. I actually wrote a blog post over one such small Social Media victory for one of my clients! (http://socialhotelguy.com/one-thing-ive-learned-advise-is-key-a-small-social-media-win/) This is not ALWAYS possible but by its very nature Social Media is SOCIAL and consumers share!
This is a great article. One of the things we're trying to understand better at Shop Direct Group is the cause or effect issue of a Facebook fan. Essentially the question boils down to whether a customer spends more as a result of the social content they see, or whether because they are a fan of the brand they are already predisposed to spend more. What we are missing is a date stamp for when someone becomes a fan.
Great article on the benefits on the necessity of effectively using analytics to track how much of an influence an engaged online community can have on providing a return. Turning members of your online community into brand ambassadors seems to be the best way to spread positivity about a brand. Analytics also allows marketers to know how not to waste their efforts on users who will not fully engage with the brand message.
You can get overwhelmed by data points but let's take a step back. Make pretend you're not a marketer.
Why does a consumer do Facebook or Twitter? Because it's fun? And I like content because it's interesting, I'll share it with my friends, or comment if I think I have an opinion on a post.
So the issue with marketers- how to leverage this fun for branding, increased website traffic, and sales. We're still learning what "engagement" is and how it equates to lead generation, quote request, or purchase.
At the end of the day, if a CMO or top management is convinced that share of voice is increasing over time, and marketing ROI decreases, then there is actual value to the efforts. Of course, the connection with SEO is undeniable.
Large number of people look for this information but on social media they cannot get effective one.

Improving local participation at international climate change Conference (COP20)
DRI is proud to announce the return of COP@home, 2014 Edition, following deliberations from COP 20 Lima, Peru in real time. The landmark Video Conference Facility will connect live from Lima, Peru from the 1st to the 12th of December 2014. The facility will follow 6 sessions namely Mitigation, Adaptation, Finance, Technology, REDD+ and side events. Book your place today and make your contributions to the global climate change negotiations at your convenience. Follow the link to register for a session.
COP@Home project was launched in 2011 to bring access of the International negotiation process, Conference of Parties (COP) to the to the many young people unable to travel to such meetings. With climate change affecting the present and future generations, young people are intermediaries between these generations and have an increasingly vital linkage role to play in ensuring that the present generation hands over a clean and habitable earth to its offspring. While there is consensus on the need to "act now" against the impacts of climate change the youth in Zimbabwe have little or no knowledge on the interactions of climate change and their livelihoods. In recent years youth across the world have been organizing themselves in coalitions in response to the climate change challenge.
At the COP17, the UNFCCC awarded the Youth NGOs (YOUNGO) a constituency status in the climate change process, almost 20 years after YOUNGO was identified as one of nine constituencies in the climate change process under Agenda 21. In Zimbabwe Development Reality Institute (DRI), became the first youth NGO to be awarded Observer Status of the UNFCCC, opening up opportunities for youth in Zimbabwe to be accredited to the UNFCCC processes. Zimbabwean youth have the opportunity to take advantage of this development and have their voices heard on an issue that is of primary concern to their livelihoods and futures.

The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus is a short work which coins the well known term in occult circles "As above, so below." The actual text of that maxim, as translated by Dennis W. Hauck is "That which is Below corresponds to that which is Above, and that which is Above corresponds to that which is Below, to accomplish the miracle of the One Thing".[18] The tablet also refers to the three parts of the wisdom of the whole universe. Hermes claims his knowledge of these three parts is why he received the name Trismegistus (thrice-great, or Ao-Ao-Ao meaning "greatest"). As the story is told, this tablet was found by Alexander the Great at Hebron supposedly in the tomb of Hermes.[19]

Well.....I have read this entire thread, up to this point....raptly. Yet, still confused, at sea here....
Is there a "Cliff Notes" summary, from some one? I gather (infer) from references to the ancient mythical "gods"....yet, spoken of as if not myths. Very peculiar.
...because....in Humankind's constant quest for the "Meaning of Life" it would seem that the few of you here apparently believe you know more than average.
Keep in mind I approach with full skepticism.....AND from a standpoint of abhorring all organized "mainstream" religions...inventions of control, in my opinion...those are. (Yes, including christianity).

I can't recall anyone looking like that.
But check this out, I have had 4 ravens hit the windows of my house this year.
3 in one day. Freaked me out. The other one hit my bedroom window and woke me up.
Come on guys, tell me, tell me, tell me. Plleeeeaaassseee.
In the case of an inner blockage there are 2 possible answers: The first would be a meditation on the rune based upon a bind-rune made of a triple form of the rune, 3 joined together at their bases. The second would be to combine the rune with others related to the concept it expresses. This acts to amplify the rune's intensity, but in a different manner from the triple form. This also brings up another interesting topic: divine intervention. My patron god FreyR has more than once advised my choices of runes for bind-runes, both for meditative & magickal purposes (though more often than not these magickal forms have lead to a meditation on the operant principles which themselves have also lead into insights about myself and the life I both live & seek). In this context it is also worth considering how far you seek to work in the tradition, as it may further your efforts even more.

- About
Coast to Coast Carports, Inc. is proud to offer free-span metal buildings up to 80' wide and as long as needed. The free span (clear of supporting legs) buildings can be constructed to fit any commercial or residential need. Every steel building is carefully manufactured by Coast to Coast's fabrication teams. Like all of their buildings, they are installed by trained, professional installation crews.
Web truss engineered designs allow for super strong and affordable trusses that span as wide as 80' to be fabricated from the same galvanized steel tubing that all of Coast to Coast Carports' buildings are made from. This web truss design includes a 'web' of triangular shapes formed from the precise welding of the fabrication teams. Forklifts are required to lift the great trusses into place as the professional installation crews weld and bolt them together.
Clear-span buildings are used to make a variety of structures. Some buyers use clear-span buildings as large carports for semi trucks or busses. Clear-span buildings are the beginnings of warehouses and some workshops. Businesses need wide open, unobstructed floor plans to drive equipment through or store large items. Coast to Coast Carports, Inc. uses their self steel clear-span buildings to operate fabrication facilities in. They also use them as loading bays for their installation crews as they load up for the upcoming building deliveries.
Aircraft hangars are often built from Coast to Coast Carports, Inc.'s clear-span buildings. Coast to Coast does not supply the side-sliding doors, but they do frame for them. A free-span steel building from this metal building company makes an affordable and quick way to commandeer an Aircraft hangar.
Maximum width of a clear span building from Coast to Coast Carports is 80'. There is no maximum length. We have yet to turn down a building because it was too tall, having built buildings with leg heights in excess of 20 feet.
Clear Span Buildings have options available such as walk-in doors, windows, transparent panels, commercial sized roll up doors, insulation, interior panels, and more.
A web truss building from Coast to Coast Carports, Inc. must be on a cement foundation. This can be an entire cement pad or simply a continuous concrete footer. We ask that the outer 1.5' of the pad (the footer) be at least 2' deep for proper support.
Standard roof pitch for our buildings is a 3'/12' pitch. Some other pitches can be accommodated.
Construction of the web trusses and other parts can take a few weeks, depending on material availability. Once the parts are constructed, they will be freighted to the work site. Actual construction time depends on the building size, so it varies between a couple days to several weeks.
Apart from the affordable cost of the Clear-Span Building, customers can expect to pay for freight, forklift fees, and engineer drawings and calculations for certification. These costs are usually about 2.5% the cost of the building.

(CNN) -- The key to President Barack Obama's triumphant performance in Monday night's debate was not his command of the facts, his well-crafted answers or his cutting comeback lines. It was one thing: the stone cold, laser-like stare Obama shot his opponent when Mitt Romney was answering questions. I call it "Obama-stare" -- but unlike Obamacare, this Obama plan may not be good for your health.
For those, like me, who watch the other candidate closely when his opponent is answering a question, the contrast between Obama and Romney's reactions was like comparing Darth Vader with Honey Boo Boo. Romney's look vacillated between forced smiles to that of a person whose stomach was alarmingly churning and was worried he wouldn't make it to the bathroom in time.
But Obama pinned Romney with the look -- Obama-stare. It's not a look we saw at the previous debates. (Of course, Obama didn't even attend the first one.)
Obama-stare resembles the grimace that Wyatt Earp might have had on his face moments before guns were drawn at the famed gunfight at the OK Corral. Or even Clint Eastwood's classic scowl in his "Dirty Harry" movies just before shooting a bad guy -- not to be confused with the look he recently gave to an empty chair.
