Sink the Bismarck! by C. S. Forester (1959)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I love the movie version of this story, and finally found/purchased a copy for my reading pleasure. However, having recently read books by Edward L. Beach and Alistair MacLean, I was less than thrilled with Sink the Bismarck! It is a good, solid read, but it didn't grab me nor draw me in as those other authors' books did. I do recommend this book, but you might want to find a free copy first. My copy is going to be passed on to someone else who will enjoy it.
This is the first C. J. Forester I have read, but I believe i shall tackle another one as I liked his concise description. He paints the picture just well enough for me to see it in my mind's eye and that is what it is all about. That is why I do not like my style, my style is (probably like me) too loquacious, verbose, and sometimes pedantic. However, I get better as I get older.
Intended for young readers I believe, and little more than an outline of events, but still worth a read. Short.

In 1941, Hitler's deadly Bismarck, the fastest battleship afloat, broke out into the Atlantic. Its mission: to cut the lifeline of British shipping and win the war with one mighty blow. How the Royal Navy tried to meet this threat and its desperate attempt to bring the giant Bismarck to bay is the story C. S. Forester tells with mounting excitement and suspense.

Craft Show Tips Part 3
I ALWAYS have my 'emergency' kit as well! It's a toolbox filled with all my random goodies, pens, reciept pads, my shop lables and stamp, jewelry tools, jump rings, duct tape, masking tape, price tags, zip ties, hammer, rope, nails...that sort of thing! I always keep everything and anything in here. Even change for a 20.00 if for some reason, I forgot to get change. I also set up a work table as well with my laptop & my shop pulled up. This way people can browse my shop as well as purchase from there as well! I call ahead of time to find out if there is wi-fi or if it will be available. I do all research possible on show locations! This way I can also accept credit card payments and Paypal payments too since I have my laptop fired up!
I will add more as I upload photos from other shows! If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask! I will go into detail on anything!

Craft Show Tips....Part 2 The Coupon Code
When a customer in turn uses your code, they will write it in the messages to seller box. Here, my customer would use CARIBOUSHIP if they had my business card from the show. Then they would check out as normal. As Etsy DOES NOT have any service for coupons or discounts, my customers WAIT for the revised invouice that I will send them from PAYPAL. All this must be done manually until Etsy incorporates a promo code system. After 1 week, my Caribou Promo has brought me 1 sale, so I knew that out of the 20 cards that people took at the show, 1 person bought something straight away. (I also use expiration dates on codes, so that people will be more apt to use it right away as opposed to forgetting about it).
Whenever you have a sale, mention your shop, want to give a discount, run an Ad, you should use a seperate code so that you can keep track of what it working for you in the long run! When I ran a Facebook ad, I used FB3 (since expired) in the ad, because I was keeping an eye on what sales an ad in such a big place would bring. (Not many). Before Flickr started cracking down on profiles and Etsy peeps, I had a code in there for a free pair of earrings that said FlickEar (since expired) and I realized that a HUGE amount of my sales were coming from Flickr! It's not hard to keep a little notebook by your computer or even a file ON your computer of codes to keep track! Hope this has helped you all!!!

Craft Show Tips....
Have a tent! Seriously, if the rain comes down your stuff is safe AND if it's a beating hot day, you are in the shade! It was a crazy day on Saturday! A bit chilly in the early morning during set up, but then it got rainy as the show opened and then in the afternoon it was hot hot hot! (OH and it was verrry Windy! So be sure to weigh your tent down!)You don't have to get a big, fancy EZ-Up tent right off the bat, you want to test the show waters first before you make such a large investment. The one I am using in this show is a simple, green one with no sides from Target. It was on sale for 18.88. I use water jugs to weight it down. Simple and re-usable! More tips to follow tomorrow!!!

|Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Regulated Activities) Order 2001
Mr. Howard Flight (Arundel and South Downs): I would like to put on record my congratulations to the Minister and her officials. The orders are complex and I know that great efforts have been made to consult representatives of the industry, especially security lawyers. As the Minister said, it is important to the nation's economy to get such matters right. There is broad satisfaction with those efforts and with the fact that the point about reinstating the overseas person exemption for investment firms without such branches in the UK has been taken on board.
As I think is my duty, I have consulted representative bodies in the industry, the Law Society, and lawyers and I seek clarification from the Minister on a number of points. As the Minister mentioned, although we are dealing with secondary legislation, in some sense the matters are meat suitable for primary legislation. I also thank the Minister for her comments on N2. The industry has been keen to know where the Government stand on that.
First, I want to deal with the regulated activities order. The clarification of the overseas person definition in article 3 is welcome. However, further clarification is needed on two points. Would a branch office of an overseas person be regarded as a ``permanent place of business''? Would a person offering to carry out a specified activity from a branch office therefore need to be an authorised person?
Does the exclusion in article 22(2) cover moneyfor example, if a cash ISA is held temporarily by an investment firm before it is deposited in a bank? In respect of article 51, there have been many queries by the industry about the previous draftin which it was numbered article 48most of which have been resolved. However, why does article 51(2) say that the terms ``trustee'', ``authorised unit trust'' and ``depository'' have the same meaning as that given in section 237 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, but does not say that ``open-ended investment company'' has the same meaning as that given in section 236 of the Act?
The inclusion of the activities of establishing, operating or winding up a stakeholder pension in article 52 is welcome. Can the Minister confirm that that applies to trust-based stakeholder schemes, as well as to contract-based schemes run by authorised managers?
Article 54 contains a welcome clarification of the provision of advice that is given in newspapers. Can the Minister confirm that, provided the service meets the ``principle purpose'' test, the exclusion applies to the specialist financial trade press and to money or financial supplements? She may know that the industry has expressed some concern on that issue.
Article 76 states that shares in an open-ended investment company are excluded from the sort of shares that are regarded as specified investments. That is presumably because OEIC shares, although not specifically mentioned, are included within the meaning of units in a collective investment scheme.
The absence of a specific reference to OEIC shares has given rise to confusion in the past, particularly when institutions are subject to restrictions or reporting requirements on investment in unquoted shares. Problems have arisen when OEICs are treated as unquoted shares rather than units in a collective investment scheme. Full clarification and confirmation would be welcome.
On article 82, I would welcome clarification that rights in both individual and employer-designated stakeholder pensions are included. Interests under the trusts of an occupational pension scheme are not included as a specific investment in article 89 and, although it is not stated explicitly, there is a presumption that rights in a personal pension scheme are also not considered to be specified investments.
Echoing the Minister's comments on the subsequent order and its relationship to the Myners report and on encouraging entrepreneur and venture capital activity, there is no explicit exemption from articles 14 or 69 for corporate venturing, even when the trading company which invests in start-up is carrying on similar related activities which are less than the 20 per cent. necessary to fall within article 15. The issue has already been raised with the Treasury and I am sure that it has the Government's support given the Chancellor's wish not to have structural obstacles to investment in start-ups.
There are some omissions concerning issues that have been discussed but not included and I would like to know whether the Government have any intention of addressing them either in further orders or through the FSA. The first concerns article 25 on the arrangement of deals in investments. Article 25(2) follows the text of the similar regulated activity in the Financial Services Act 1986 and is preferable to the proposed regulated activity that it replaces, which was too wide. It covers all arrangements that are made to enable a person who participates in them to buy or sell investments and so covers even a courier who arranges to take an application form to a receiving bank. However, I hope that the Government will interpret that as applying only when the courier knows that his customer has given him an application form.
The scope of the arranging deals and investments category of regulated activity should be more restricted along the lines of making arrangements with a view to inviting, influencing or persuading someone to enter into a transaction under which a person who participates will buy, sell or subscribe or underwrite investments falling within the relevant articles. The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 is new, so advisers will be less relaxed than they were under the previous Act and all arrangers may be advised by their lawyers to seek precautionary authorisation. I am sure that the Government do not intend that, because it would merely clutter the over-burdened FSA machinery.
On specific exemptions for professionals when providing professional services under article 67, there is still no specific exemption for lawyers or accountants, although the Treasury made it clear that it wants one. No one wants lawyers and accountants to have to become authorised under the Act to practice. Specific exemptions or a blanket exemption is, therefore, surely necessary.
There is now a more relaxed exemption than in the previous version of the regulated activities order that applies if the activity is
The exemption is made worse because it applies only if no other activities carried on by the professional firm consist of other related activities. That seems to apply anywhere in the world.
I believe that the intent is to exclude from articles 21, 25(1) and (2), and 53 any activity undertaken in the course of carrying on any profession or business that does not otherwise consist of carrying on regulated activities in the United Kingdom; and either: may be reasonably regarded as a necessary or desirable part of other services provided in the course of that profession or business; or relates only to negotiating or the legal or commercial consequences of an investment transaction or agreement.
The exemption for arranging deals with or through FISMA authorised firms may be helpful in specific circumstances but in many other cases there will be no FISMA authorised firm involved. The parties may therefore negotiate a particular transaction using only their lawyers or accountants and not have a corporate finance firmor at least one authorised under the Actto advise them. That exemption cannot apply in such cases, hence the need to cover it with either further exemption or clarification of the existing intent.
The consultation document issued by the Treasury in February 1999 with the first draft of the regulated activities order stated expressly in section 3 that the Government wanted to avoid professionals seeking authorisation on a precautionary basis merely in order to ensure that in advising their clients in a professional capacity they did not commit a criminal offence. The Treasury said that the RAO would seek to define activities regulated under the Bill in a way that would leave as little room for doubt as possible, and therefore, minimise the number of firms that would clutter up the process by seeking authorisation protectively.
The Treasury's consultation document made it clear that professional firms would need to be authorised only for investment activities and, even in that case, they would not need to be authorised if those activities were clearly carried out by the professional firm when providing professional services. In addition, the Treasury suggested that the RAO would include provisions to clarify that the authorisation requirement for arranging deals in investments does not include arrangements that are purely administrativepreparing legal documents, for example. We are asking only that the Treasury make that clear. Our concerns also relate to all United Kingdom and non-UK firms of lawyers or accountants, not only to non-UK firms. Our advice, and what we have found, is that City firms will not want to become FISMA authorised merely because they advise or negotiate corporate finance transactions.
It is surely inappropriate that firms that provide only legal or accountancy advice to companies or private individuals on transactions, or negotiate the transactions for themtypically, a law firm advising on corporate finance transactionshould be regarded as providing a financial service. Those are not investment activities, but merely professional activities connected with investments. The Treasury has said that they would not require an authorisation, and section 3(6) of the consultation document makes that point. There is no need to require authorisation for those firms. Indeed, in a debate on the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 in the other place, Lord McIntosh said that professionals would not require authorisation under that Act if authorisation is not required under the old legislation.
It is surely inappropriate to require professionals to use part XX exemption unless they are providing financial services. In order to use the exemption, a firm would have to accept that it was providing financial services even if it were not. In addition, use of the exemption would subject the firm to the risk of eventual direct regulation by the FSA, which neither the firm, the FSA nor the Government want. As a result, many non-UK law firms practising in the UK that are not multinational partnerships will not be regulated by the Law Society, so they will be unable to use the exemption. In terms of international markets, that point touches on the need for the Government to keep the UK as open as possible to all participants who are connected with the financial services industry.
As matters stand, all such overseas firms would need to apply for precautionary authorisation, which, according to the Government, is precisely what their light-touch regime is trying to avoid. Such firms provide advice or arrange facilities only in relation to investment transactions; they do not advise on investments themselves or arrange investment transactions, except in the sense that they are involved in negotiations leading to the purchase or sale of shares or other investments.
On signature of investment agreements, given that article 21 is concerned with dealing in investments as an agent, the Government presumably intended some form of exemption where a person merely signs an investment agreement on behalf of another, is not himself a party and has no discretion as to the terms of the agreement. However, I am advised that, in the FSA's view, that constitutes dealing as an agent. The person signing is binding the party to the agreement by signing on his behalf, and is therefore agreeing to do whatever the party has to do as an agent. The person signing is not agreeing to buy or sell anything as an agent; he is merely arranging matters and agreeing only that the party to the agreement will buy or sell.
Given the FSA's policy, the provision needs further clarification or there should be some form of exemption from dealing in investments. For example, one could exclude from the provisions of article 21 any transaction that is, or will be, entered into by a person or agent who is signing, or will sign, an agreement to that transaction as signatory for, and at the discretion of, one of the parties to the arrangement. For the purposes of article 1, a person signs an agreement at the direction of a party only if that party has approved the agreement or an agreement of substantially the same form.
Article 76, which deals with the definition of shares, treats as shares interests in any unincorporated body constituted under the law of a country or territory outside the UK. Accordingly, a Netherlands, Antilles, Cayman Islands or Channel Islands limited partnership will be treated as a company as well as a collective investment scheme. For marketing, it is therefore always necessary to fall within the exemption for both the public office of securities regulations applying to shares within article 76(1)(b), and the restrictions on marketing collective investment schemes under section 238(1). There is no exemption because both the section 238(1) restrictions and the prospectus requirement under the POS regulations apply whether or not the unincorporated body is open-ended. That contrasts with a corporate collective investment scheme because a body corporate is a collective investment scheme only if it is open-ended, in which case the POS regulations do not apply.
There is a cumbersomeness in the regulations that limits the utility of the exemption. Although the definition is the same as that in the Financial Services Act 1986, surely it can be amended to avoid defining both bodies as collective investment schemes. Another solution would be to amend the references to shares in the POS regulations so that they exclude shares in all entities that are collective investment schemes.
The final piece of legal meat concerns the definition of close relatives in article 3. The exemption should surely include trustees of trusts where the only beneficiaries are close relatives, which is especially important in relation to the exclusions for activities connected with the sale of a body corporate. Many family companies use trustees, but if the definition of close relatives is extended, unless a spouse is given a life interest and any children are minors, the exclusion, which currently applies under the Financial Services Act 1986, cannot be used, which strikes me as pedantic.
There is also the issue of the removal of the investment services directive passport from non-UK European economic area banks. The regulations do not reinstate the unilateral ISD passport, which has been granted to non-UK EEA credit institutions. In other words, the passport, which is similar to the passport granted by the ISD to non-bank investment firms, has been granted by the Treasury to credit institutions from the EEA that are unincorporated in the UK. However, when we asked for the reinstatement of the universal passport during the passage of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 through Parliament, the Government stated in both Houses that the Treasury has not unilaterally granted such a passport. None the less, a leading expert on the single financial European passport has again advised us that the Treasury has granted it. It covers ISD activities that are not covered by the second banking directive and is especially relevant to arranging deals in the secondary market that are not takeovers and mergers or receiving and transmitting orders. That is highly technical territory over which there is a bona fide dispute, but it certainly needs to be nailed down and tidied up.
The important point is that the ISD passport is contained in regulation 5 of the investment services regulations. Regulation 3(1)(c) provides that an investment firm is a European investment firm if it is a European authorised institution. An investment firm is any firm that provides core investment services to third parties on a professional basis and which would therefore normally be subject to the ISD, unless it is excluded by virtue of the provisions of article 2(2). Crucially, credit institutions are excluded from the ISD by article 2(1) only if the bank is authorised to provide at least one core investment service by its banking rules. I understand that both Andrew Whittaker, the general counsel of the FSA, and his predecessor, Michael Blair, QC, are aware of the position.
The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 does not continue the unilateral ISD passport and will therefore prejudice incoming EEA banks. It would surely be helpful to the United Kingdom to continue with the passport systemwhich is, presumably, intended to reflect the internal marketas UK banks can similarly benefit when they use their outgoing passports. Indeed, the UK surely wants an open market in principle.
I do not have a great deal to say about the order that relates to carrying on regulated activities by way of business, but some clarification would be helpful on the main aspect to which the Economic Secretary referred: pension fund trustees. The proposed exemption of pension fund trustees from the need to be FISMA authorisedthe effect of article 4is welcome. However, the exemption under article 4(1)(b) applies even if decisions to invest in private equity funds under paragraph (6) are not taken by authorised or exempt firms or overseas persons.
That exception to the general rule that the exemption applies only if all decisions on investments are taken by firms that fall within those permitted categories reflects a major recommendation of the Myners report, as the Economic Secretary said. However, the order does not meet the objective. It merely allows the end decision to be taken by pension fund trustees; they still need to be advised by one of the permitted persons. The trustees must still find a permitted person who knows about venture capital, become his client and, at least in the case of FISMA-authorised firms, hold a know-your-customer inquiry. Indeed, if the FSA conduct of business rules reflect existing Investment Management Regulation Organisation requirements, the authorised firm must treat the pension fund as a private client and comply with the suitability requirements.
That is extremely cumbersome and expensive and represents a regulatory obstacle to pension funds investing more in private equity. Perhaps the requirements in paragraph (6)(b) cannot be deleted, but they need to be explained away. Surely the idea behind the exemption is that a private equity fund is an investment in which it is fair for the pension fund trustees to invest because it is managed by a permitted person.
The definition of ``relevant investments'' under paragraph (7) is also rather narrow. Shares include interests in non-UK collective investment schemes, unless the Government accept the suggestion that article 76(1)(b) of the regulated activities order should be restricted so that it does not include unincorporated bodies that are collective investment schemes. Without that, the two-tier fund, whereby the body corporate itself invests in relevant investmentsfor example, when it is an investment trust or a venture capital trustbecomes a three-tier fund, whereby the fund in the second tier is not restricted to private equity. If that was not specifically included, surely it would be appropriate to allow for such three-tier funds to be established throughout UK collective investment schemes, too.
Paragraph (6)(d)(i) requires a manager who is FISMA authorised to be permitted to act as a discretionary investment manager. However, the private equity fund may be managed only on a non-discretionary or advisory basis, in that the investment decision may be taken by the trustee, general partner or directors of the body corporate itself. If it is, the manager may only be authorised under article 53.
In addition, the order contains two small typos. In article 3(2)(c), in line 1 an ``s'' needs to be added to the word ``investment'' that appears in brackets, and in article 4(6)(a), in line 1, we should delete ``trustee'' and substitute ``trustees''.
I have another small point to make about article 4. Following consultation, the activity of managing the assets of an occupational scheme can be delegated to an overseas person with no requirement for that person to be subject to an appropriate level of authorisation or supervision by the relevant national authorities. Obviously, that could reduce the protection afforded to members of the scheme. I have a second question about the implications of article 4(6). What is the significance of the words,
In practically all cases, it will be best for a variety of reasons for the passporting firm not to be authorised at all. For example, as an unauthorised person it will be able to approve financial promotion communications issued by other people, which it cannot do under the EEA nationals exemption in the 1986 Act. Firms whose executives merely visit the UK from time to time without having a branch here should not be able to do that.
The second issue concerns the provision of express authorisation for UK credit institutions to carry on all lawful activities. The Law Society, in particular, pointed out that unless there is such an express authorisation for UK credit institutions to carry on lawful activities, UK banks will not be able to establish branches overseas under the 2BCD passport for lending. While UK banks will not need authorisation under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 or the Consumer Credit Act 1974, to provide loans to companies, none the less, there must still be express authorisation from the banking regulatorthat is, the Financial Services Authorityfor such activity, otherwise the 2BCD passport will not apply.
We had assumed that the Treasury intended to provide for such other activities to be covered, because paragraph 19(3) of the schedule to the Act that provides the outgoing passport expressly states that the notice of intentionwhich is what sets out the passport activitiescould include activities that are not regulated activities, such as making loans. Will the Treasury be providing for such activities in regulations under the European Communities Act 1972, or under its powers granted by section 426? I hope that it is not too late to cover that point, as it will be a practical impediment if it is not so covered. The express authorisation should be for all activities covered by the 2BCD passport, even if there is no need for authorisation under UK law. The passport will cover the activity only if it is authorised by the banking regulator. That is the proviso to article 18(1) of the 2BCD. The authorisation should follow the clever wording drafted by Jane Stokes in regulation 21 of the 2BCD regulations, and provide that UK credit institutions are authorised to carry on all 2BCD activities that they can lawfully carry on.
If, however, the Treasury wants to give UK banks an ISD passport as well, it will be necessary to exclude core investment services from the wording so that credit institutions may also use the ISD passport. The passport will apply to them because they are not authorised for any core investment service by their banking regulator, but only by their securities regulatoralthough the securities regulator and the banking regulator are both the FSA. Jane Stokes suggested that that was how UK credit institutions would qualify for the ISD passport under the ISD's terms.
I apologise for raising such detailed and technical issues, but it is important that, as we move to complete our consideration of them, there are no party political issues involved. The law officers in the Treasury are aware of most of the points and I am simply seeking assurances from the Minister that, although they are not covered in any of the orders, they will be dealt with somewhere.

Hello! I have been playing with mixed media. Talk about fun! I make a huge mess whenever I break out all the mixed media goodness. Paints + sprays + texture paste + Tina = disaster!
Anyhoo, this month at KennyK the DT's theme is anything, but a card. I decided to make a canvas.
The image I used is KennyK's Texting Friends. When I first saw this image, I thought of my sister and I. Since we live so far apart, we rely on our phones to keep us close. We would be lost without being able to call or text each other everyday. Sometimes several times a day.
My first step in this project was to color the image with Copic markers. Then I textured and painted the canvas. After it was dry, I added beautiful laces from Pamela Joy Pifer Wrights FB shop (the love charm is from there also), the image and flowers.
I had an idea of the sentiment that I wanted, but I didn't know the exact wording so I went to Pinterest and searched sister quotes.
That's when I found this sentiment. It fit my sister and I perfectly. We have a really special bond. I am truly thankful for her and our friendship.
Here's a close up of the gorgeous laces from Pamela's. I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink to darken the bottom of the pink lace.
Thank you all for stopping by. Hope you have a craftastic day!

PITTSBURGH (93-7 The Fan)- Pittsburgh Pirates General Manager Neal Huntington joined The Fan Morning Show on Friday to discuss his current team, but also the future, a day after drafting two high school prospects with picks 9 and 14 in the first round of the 2013 MLB Draft,
The biggest question right now is about the health of Wandy Rodriguez who had to leave his start in the first inning on Wednesday. Huntington says there inflammation in the elbow but the ligament is sound. "We are hoping to avoid the DL with Wandy" Huntington said "We are not going to need a 5th starter until 5 days after the off day on Monday". Huntington said the extra days will help bounce around guys to find an option. Rodriguez may not even miss a start.
There is still a need for another starter with Jeanmar Gomez out and some possible candidates are Charlie Morton or James McDonald who both are working on rehab stints. "McDonald had another really rough start last night." Huntington said. "We have seen the good and bad McDonald in his rehab starts". As for Morton, Huntington said he still appears to be close. He is not ready to say publicly who may be the the guy or guys they will fill that spot with.
Gerrit Cole is the one the fans have been asking about, "Cole is making quality progress" Huntington said. "We can understand why the interest is there and we really like him but we are not ready to say publicly that he is a candidate but not ready to say that he isn't."
Huntington said he is not concerned with the innings being thrown by the bullpen because they are monitoring it closely and they expect the starters will extend their outings.
The Pirates offense has been in a slump as of late and Huntington says it's because they have gotten away from their approach and are pressing too hard. He also said they have run in to a great deal of quality pitching. Huntington says that the plan is to remain aggressive and he is confident that this lineup will provide enough offense.
Huntington is also smiling today because of two quality high school prospects in last night's MLB Draft.
The Pirates selected OF Austin Meadows with the 9th overall pick and C Reese McGuire with the 14th overall pick. Both are high school players.
"We like both" Huntington said. "Meadows was a talent we had ranked higher than 9th on our board…We like the bat, the athlete, frame, he runs well." as for Maguire Huntington says he was who they were looking for at 9 and so they were happy to get him at 14. "We love how he receives the ball, the block and the arm." Huntington adds.
The Pirates have lost 5 of their last 6 games but remain 10 games over .500 as they open a three game series in Chicago today at 2:20 pm. The Game can be heard on 93-7 The Fan.

The San Francisco 49ers looked brilliant for taking Reuben Foster at the end of the first round after the inside linebacker from Alabama dominated in training camp and the preseason.
Then Foster was carted off less than a quarter into his NFL debut.
[Sign up for Fantasy Football before it's too late! Draft now for free]
Foster was carted off the field with an ankle injury late in the first quarter against the Carolina Panthers. A big part of the enthusiasm for the rebuilding 49ers was wrapped up in young players like Solomon Thomas and Foster, so seeing Foster leave on a cart just after the season kicked off was a stomach punch. Fortunately for the 49ers Foster was able to walk back to the sideline, albeit with a significant limp as his ankle was wrapped up.
Foster already answered questions about the health of his shoulder, which was one reason Foster slipped in the draft. Now the 49ers have to worry about a different health concern with their exciting young linebacker.

The Jacob Javits Center's vast North Hall was the site of BMCC's 47th Commencement Exercises on June 1st, marking the conferring of associate degrees on 3,200 students in 30 areas of study.
BMCC President Antonio Pérez welcomed the audience.
"BMCC has played a role in expanding your hearts as well as your minds," he told the graduates. "Through its diverse community and its curriculum, BMCC has provided you with a sense of the world as a global community."
In that community, he said, "people of more than a hundred countries, people of all ethnic and religious backgrounds, study together—and in the process, forge friendships that last a lifetime."
NYC Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott delivers keynote address
New York City Department of Education Chancellor Dennis Walcott delivered the keynote address, recognizing on the dais his friend, guest speaker New York State Senator Charles Schumer, and sharing something they have in common.
"Both his father and my father were exterminators," Walcott said. "My father was a high school dropout. Fortunately, there were opportunities for him to go on, and learn to support my mother and our family—opportunities that are no longer there."
Emphasizing the increasingly critical value of higher education, Walcott talked about leaving his job as a kindergarten teacher to found the Frederick Douglass Brother-to-Brother mentoring program for young boys. From there, he served as President of the New York Urban League, where he expanded youth programs including Jeter's Leaders and the Bridge to Brotherhood.
Today, said President Pérez in his introduction of Walcott, "he is committed to making sure that the 1.1 million public school students in New York City today receive an education that will be a strong foundation as they enter college," and noted that 4,000 of those students will enter BMCC this coming fall.
Losing the fear of falling
Philip Alfonso Berry, Vice Chairperson of the CUNY Board of Trustees, also congratulated the graduates. "Is this a good day or what?" asked Berry, who happens to be a BMCC alumni, himself.
"I am a product of the New York City schools and I got my start right here at BMCC," he said.
"In this audience are our City's next medical doctors, our next heads of community organizations and corporations, and those who will come up with new advances in science. Education doesn't stop with this degree, but it begins here. Do not forget this college. Give back."
Marc V. Shaw, CUNY Senior Vice Chancellor for Budget, Finance and Fiscal Policy, brought greetings on behalf of CUNY Chancellor Matthew Goldstein.
"Whatever your next step, make it a challenging one, a difficult and honorable one," he said. "Also, don't be afraid to fail. Don't be afraid of taking some risks, falling down a little now and then."
"Tell them, it's never too late."
BMCC Vice President for Student Affairs, Marva Craig, introduced Student Government President JoNae Smith, who spoke of the unique experience of attending BMCC, "whether you were watching the sun rise over Battery Park or watching it set on the growing Freedom Tower."
Valedictorian Andre Barber described the challenges he overcame as a special education student in high school, thanking his mother and "nurturing professors at BMCC" for supporting his efforts to earn a 4.0 grade point average.
Barber, who volunteers at Metropolitan Hospital by reading to young patients, is active in the Phi Theta Kappa honor society, the BMCC Debate Club and Scholarship Society events, and works at a Manhattan Starbucks.
He even took time during his studies to don the big blue head and furry costume of the BMCC mascot, going incognito as the Panther, and told of returning to the school close to midnight one night, because he had forgotten his books.
"When I arrived," he said, "there were students studying and reading…that's when I realized, hard-working individuals who make up my campus surround me all day."
Having been inspired by others at BMCC, Barber urged his fellow graduates to "share our knowledge with our communities and those future students who will take our place at BMCC…Tell them it is never too late. Tell them that you know the journey ahead is difficult…and then tell them our BMCC motto: 'Start Here. Go Anywhere'. Then they will sit where you are now."
A senator's gift, and Presidential Medal
Longtime BMCC friend, New York State Senator Charles Schumer spoke to the graduates and their families, reminding them to take advantage of legislature he created, to help offset college costs.
"I wrote a law so that you and your parents, whoever paid your tuition, will be eligible for a full tax credit, $2,500 off your taxes each year—provided that your family income is below "$200,000 a year," he told the cheering audience.
Finally, in a traditional moment of the commencement event, President Pérez presented the BMCC Presidential Medal to a special friend and supporter of the college; this year, recognizing Elizabeth Butson, a member and former chair of the BMCC Foundation Board.
Butson, who was the first woman vice president at Philip Morris, also excelled as a photojournalist, and with her late husband, Tom Butson, bought two small newspapers in New York City that provided an important forum for community issues related to BMCC's Lower Manhattan neighborhood.
"Every time I walk the halls of BMCC, I am inspired by the energy of BMCC students," she told the graduating class, adding, "You have to remember where you came from, but also where you're going. Every time the sky darkens a little and rain falls on your dreams, remember this day."
Education's impact on the whole family
The vast North Hall was filled about halfway with graduates, and in the other half with families and friends holding happy face balloons, bouquets of flowers, and the graduates' younger siblings.
Socorro Beltran was there to watch her son Michael Pérez Rinaldi walk across the stage for his degree in multimedia design.
"He's the second one to graduate from college in our family," said Beltran, whose daughter, Katherine is a special education major at NYU, and whose son, Alfred, graduated from Columbia University and is working at CBS.
Inspired by her children's success, Beltran, who has worked as a teacher's aide, says, "I would like to go back to school to study teaching, someday."
Graduates focus on their next goal
Before the ceremony, graduates in blue robes lined up outside the hall in groups erupting with hugs and camera flashes, sharing plans as diverse as the student body itself.
Joyce Julio, who moved to New York from the Philippines in 2007, majored in early childhood education and plans to transfer to City College, CUNY this fall, "to eventually become a preschool teacher," she says.
Human services graduate Tamiko Nelson is transferring to Medgar Evers College "to obtain my bachelor's in social work," she says, adding that she will continue working full-time at YAI, a social service agency—a job that evolved from her internship through BMCC.
Andrea Kreth served as an Intelligence Interceptor and Analyst in the Army before attending BMCC. Now graduating with a degree in English, "I want to teach junior high English," she says.
Liberal Arts major Yancy Greene was accepted into Brooklyn College for the fall, where he plans to focus on a medical field, or teaching degree. Meanwhile, he is pursuing his dance career. "I'm taking two classes at Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater," he says, "and I'll continue auditioning for dance and music videos."
Diego Zuniga, a business administration major who moved to New York from Colombia 20 years ago, plans on attending Baruch College to earn a bachelor's degree in business and finance. "Now I'm working as a manager for a parking company, and my plan is to continue advancing with that company," he says.
Robert Smith, whose associate degree is in Computer Information Systems, actually graduated from BMCC in December 2011, and is already attending Brooklyn College for a bachelor's degree in computer information systems. "I have a tech job now, doing database work and programming," he says. "My long-term plan is to get my master's in computer information or computer science."
Respiratory Therapy major Palash Sen, who grew up in Bangladesh, plans eventually to complete a pharmacy and biotechnology degree. "I enjoy chemistry," he says.
Video Arts and Technology graduate Vincent Reardon, who grew up in Queens, plans "to attend the New York City Police Academy," he says, "and eventually work in surveillance, going into counter-terrorism and preventing the next terrorist attack on New York City."
Lissett Ortiz, a Liberal Arts graduate, is transferring to SUNY Binghamton this fall, and wants to teach math. "I've always loved math," she says, "and I like working with kids. Why not put them together?"
Math major Leonce Colas has worked as an electrician while completing his degree at BMCC. "I'm an MIJ—a mid-level journeyman, working with Local 3," he says. "I'd like to pursue a degree in electrical engineering eventually. Meanwhile, the math is important for code calculations, and other aspects of my work."

Does a minimalist therapy room do it for you?
I don't know if you would agree but when I think of therapy rooms I usually think of colourful, plush, comfy, warm spaces.
I guess this may be personality dependent but it would seem that most therapists go for less of a sleek, ultra design-conscious aesthetic.
But this doesn't always have to be the case.
What about this kind of thing instead of a big, comfy couch with lots of scatter cushions?
Or instead of a huge bookcase stuffed with books are varying shapes and sizes, what if the walls were bare with only a slight accent here and there?
In my minimalist dream therapy room, even the indoor plants are sleek and zen.
And there would be a lot of naked wood, metal, and glass.
So what do you think? Is this your dream therapy room? How does it compare to the comfy, cushy "norm"?
E8Vwme Simply wanna admit that this is extremely helpful, Thanks for taking your time to write this.

(PRWEB) January 25, 2013
TicketProcess.com will be offering The Package Tour tickets for reasonable prices beginning today. The news was met with just as much excitement as NKOTB's announcement that they will be joining forces with 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men for a tour that begins in late May and will run until at least the middle of July. The demand for these tickets is going to be very high in the upcoming weeks, and by the time these tour dates roll around many of the opportunities will be long gone.
The tour will begin on the East Coast in Uncasville, Connecticut on May 29 and make stops in New York and Massachusetts in the following days. Like many massive North American tours in 2013, The Package Tour will touch down in Canada, so fans north of the border should make arrangements to attend early June shows in Ontario and Québec.
These three bands all have unfathomably large followings that they have built over the past decades, and the concept of all of these talented artists being in one arena on one night is literally something out of a dream. The West Coast will be visited in early July with stops at the Staples Center on the 5th of the month and the HP Pavilion in San Jose on July 7. The time to move on the opportunities TicketProcess.com is offering on New Kids On The Block tickets to this NKOTB tour is now.
*TicketProcess is not associated with any of the artists or venues listed. Names used in this release are for descriptive purposes only and do not imply endorsement or partnership.
About Ticket Process
Since 2010, TicketProcess secondary ticket exchange has been offering a large selection of live event inventory to some of the most exclusive sports, concert and theater events nationwide. With 7-day customer service, all backed by a 100% Guarantee, its simple design and ease of use allow anyone to purchase event tickets with confidence.

The ABX.HE CDS index is recovering and ticking back up. The 06 series mark 1 versions reached the 91.63 price point on a rising base: a sign of a recovering and more secure market.
Some Quick Analysis
So, taking the AAA tranche that were insured by the ABX.HE.AAA.06-1 CDS index, the upfront protection collateral transfer stands at $610k for a $10 million notional exposure (0.728889194 pool factor as of 25th March 2011 fixings) with a $13.12k per annum insurance premium. That is a 27% reduction in upfront collateral payments requirements since October 13th 2010.
Correction To Post
The section entitled "Breakeven Yield", now removed, included a flawed assumption in its calculation over the underlying Asset Backed Securities and should not have been included in the initial publication. The protection collateral transfers and insurance premium calculations remain valid.

Recruit volunteers. Give them drugs. Record what they do on live television. It seems like a recipe for disaster – or at least a sure-fire way to ensure a slew of angry letters from Anne Widdecombe fanatics.
However, what on paper might have sounded like a tacky publicity stunt on Channel 4's part, a shock tactic to boost ratings, actually turned out to be highly intelligent, interesting and scientific affair.
The first programme, which aired last night and concludes this evening, essentially acted as a platform to raise public awareness and educate people about what an illicit substance, ecstasy, in this case, actually does to a person based on recent research.
Interviews with regular pill-poppers, videos of live drug-taking, anatomical models of brains and Twitter-fuelled Q&As with experts in the fields of pharmacology and drug addiction combined to produce a thought-provoking and comprehensive overview of the effects of MDMA on a person's biological, social and emotional wellbeing.
The programme featured the effects of ectasy intake on various luminaries such as deputy editor of New Scientist Graham Lawton, bestselling author Lionel Shriver, and even a former MP. The effects seen were strange and myriad. Shriver's rather poetic observation that it "changes your emotions, from being watercolours to being oils" seemed representative of the experiences of most participants. Intriguingly, however, she said this while on the drug, explaining later that she felt that the drug in no way impaired her ability to articulate her thoughts at the time.
However, you don't get a the go-ahead to hand out Class A drugs to volunteers every day, and the show was not simply an excuse to broadcast people saying things "the pink door is incredibly pink" live on television. Rather, the driving force behind the programme was what has been touted as an 'unprecedented study' into the effects of MDMA on human beings.
This study was headed up by with two of the world's leading experts on MDMA, controversial psychopharmacologist Professor David Nutt of Imperial College London and colleague Professor Val Curran of University College London. The study was ethically approved by a research ethics committee, and actually had a real academic aim beyond communicating the effects of drug-taking to the nation.
The research studied and videotaped 25 volunteers in total, using a combination of qualitative techniques, psycho-social assessments, and fMRI brain scans to build a comprehensive picture of what the drugs actually did to the person on both the psychological and biochemical level; with one possible application of this data being the evaluation of MDMA as a potential therapeutic agent for use in psychiatric medicine.
The end result was an enlightening exploration of something we really know very little about, effortlessly orchestrated by the brilliant Jon Snow, and which further establishes Channel 4's reputation as a broadcaster which pushes boundaries for entirely commendable reasons.
Part Two of Drugs Live: The Ecstasy Trial is broadcast tonight at 10pm on Channel 4.

Imagine yourself in this common scenario: Your elderly mother has received a diagnosis of dementia from her neurologist, which means she will likely lose cognitive function over the next few years. You soon become her primary caregiver, in charge of delivering her medications, ensuring her safety, and communicating with her medical providers.
As months go by, you see the disease progress. Your mother's reasoning and judgment decline, she frequently gets lost, and she starts forgetting important details on a regular basis. You're not a trained professional, and have no way of knowing if her behavioral changes are normal, or merit a trip to the E.R. You're also troubled by how some of her medications affect her, and wonder if you should help her re-write her medical directive.
A new collaboration between UC Hastings, UCSF and the University of Nebraska could provide anyone in this situation with essential help. As part of a three-year, $10 million grant from the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS), doctors and policy experts at the three universities will pilot a new model of care for dementia patients and their caregivers. This healthcare innovation award is made possible by the Affordable Care Act, which authorized the federal government to design and test new ideas about improving health care and lowering costs to consumers.
The proposed "dementia care ecosystem" is projected to reduce the cost of dementia care by delaying admission to long-term care facilities 180 days, lowering ER admissions by 50%, preventing 30% of hospital and ambulance costs, and cutting the costs of prescription drugs by 15%. It should also have other qualitative outcomes, including increased wellbeing for patients and caregivers and improved satisfaction with medical care.
For the study, a "care team navigator" will offer 24/7 care to dementia patients and their caregivers. Carefully monitoring their needs, the navigator will provide links to targeted education, facilitate connections to community resources, and assist with contacting health care professionals as needed. Navigators, who will be extensively trained college graduates with an interest in the medical field, will also offer more holistic resources to patients, encouraging exercise, stress-reduction, respite and nutrition programs.
1500 subjects will be part of a randomized controlled trial taking place in both urban San Francisco and Omaha, Nebraska, as well as in rural Nebraska beginning on October 1, 2014.
Sarah Hooper '08, Assistant Director of the UCSF/UC Hastings Consortium on Law, Science & Health Policy and Adjunct Professor of Law, is spearheading the legal services component of the study. Patients and caregivers will connect to resources and education that will help them in appointing agents, making health care directives, managing finances and benefits, as well as setting up protections against fraud and abuse. Advisors will also assist with resolving health insurance coverage issues and checking for eligibility in various care programs.
Hooper said that one of the most important aspects of the legal services is encouraging patients and caregivers to have conversations about what they want on a continuing basis as the disease progresses. Patients will be regularly assessed by care providers to make sure they retain their decision-making capacity.
Hooper explained the many barriers to legal assistance that the program is hoping to break down. "So many people don't recognize when they need legal assistance, or they have misperceptions about lawyers and what they do, thinking that lawyers are only for when they're in trouble or going to court," she said. Pro bono and private bar legal providers will be available to consult with patients and caregivers on various issues, including estate planning.
The focus on the caregiver in addition to the patient is a new direction for dementia care. Dr. Winston Chiong, who is Assistant Professor in the UCSF Department of Neurology Memory and Aging Center and helped design the study, said that "there is growing recognition that a tremendous amount of the burden of this disease falls on the caregiver. They experience lots of deleterious health and psychological consequences," he said. "Caregivers may feel like they are out on their own doing this very important work, but we want to provide a system of support," he said. Hence the name "ecosystem," which is meant to reflect the idea that the patient and caregiver exist within a supportive network of providers and advisers.
The study will collect metrics and qualitative information from every participant. Medical outcomes will be assessed, CMS will comb over data about health care utilization, and the legal part of the program will also be carefully tracked. "We'll be asking if they have seen a lawyer and checking their baseline attitudes and experiences of the legal profession," said Hooper.
The final analysis may touch on some potentially controversial outcomes. For patients approaching the end of life, the study will track if participants expressed the wish to die at home and if this occurred. "We will want to know if they cycled through hospitalizations at the end of life," said Hooper. She is wary of a recap of the national conversation around "death panels" that ensued during President Obama's campaign to reform American health care in 2009.
"When we survey patients, they say that they prefer less intensive and less expensive care at the end of life," Hooper said. "This isn't about rationing care. It's about trying to do what patients want, which also decreases costs at the end of life."
In the future, the dementia care ecosystem might become a wide-scale program that could be adopted by health insurers, hospitals or other providers.
"We know the population is aging and we expect the total population with dementia to increase," said Dr. Chiong. "We hope we can come up with a model of care that is more sensitive to patient and caregiver needs and is cost effective, so it can be sustainable in the long term."

Simmer the husks in water to cover for 10 minutes, weighing them with a plate to keep them submerged. Remove from the heat and let stand for a few hours until pliable. Place the toasted anchos in a bowl and cover them with the vinegar and warm water. Soak for about 20 minutes, then pour the mixture into a blender. Add the cumin seeds, oregano, thyme, salt, garlic, and vinegar. Blend to a smooth paste. Cut the fish into 3 by 1 inch batons and place in a ceramic or glass bowl. Add 6 tablespoons of the chile paste and mix together gently but thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
Separate out 18 of the largest and most pliable husks, at least 6 inches across on the wider end and 6 to 7 inches long. If you cant find enough good ones, overlap some of the larger ones to give a wide and strong unbroken surface to spread the dough on. Pat the leaves dry with a towel. Make ties for the tamales by cutting a few of the husks into strips. Divide the marinated fish into 6 equal portions. Spread 1 teaspoon of the reserved chile paste over a 2 by 3 inch area on the wide end of a husk. Lay half of one portion of fish over the paste. Sprinkle with a little salt and top with the remaining half portion of fish. Fold over the sides and then the ends to enclose the filling. Lay the finished package flap side down, repeat the operation to double wrap the fish and tie it twice around its width with the cornhusk strips. Continue to form the other 5 packages in the same way.
About 20 minutes before serving, heat a large griddle or a grill to medium high heat. Grill the packages for about 6 minutes on each side, until the husks have blackened. Open one of the packages to test for doneness, taking care not to let out any of the precious juices. Remove the strings from each package and carefully pull away the outer layers of husk. Set each package on a heated dinner plate and carefully remove the last husk, pushing the fish out onto the plate. Drizzle a little olive oil over the fish and scatter with a little onion and chopped cilantro. Serve the lime wedges on the side. Pass the warm corn tortillas, mashed avocado, diced cucumber, and chiles at the table.

The home stretch! (Bloggers in order of appearance: Arya Imig, Ruth Brown, Emilee Booher, Shane Danaher, Matthew P. Singer, Robert Ham, Mark Stock, Jonathan Frochtzwajg, Nora Eileen Jones, Martin Cizmar.)
12:05 pm @ Doug Fir Lounge
I didn't attend any MFNW on Friday so that I would be well rested and awake early enough to see Dinosaur Jr. at Noon on a Saturday in a small club. Hell yeah, brother. Shortly after getting on stage, Lou Barlow lets the s-h word slip. "The one thing they said not to do, and I did it," he apologized. The legendary trio had no setlist and welcomed shouted out requests from the audience. It's a pity we were all just barely awake enough to not mosh, but there would be time for that later. (AI)
2:05 pm @ the Bing Lounge
Punctuated by earnest, honest and self deprecating banter, the Tallest Man On Earth's Kristian Matsson played a short, moving set to a packed Bing Lounge. (AI)
2:32 pm @ Pioneer Courthouse Square
When I ran into Starfucker's Shawn Glassford at Squarepusher earlier this summer, I teased the multi-instrumentalist that his group would have to kick it up a notch in the light show department. "We're actually working on building a light wall," he replied. On a trek from the Bing Lounge to the Dinosaur Jr. pop up shop, we stopped and caught a little of Starfucker's soundcheck. Sure enough, there was that light wall, lookin' good. (AI)
2:53 pm @ Red Bull Common Thread Dinosaur Jr. Pop Up Shop
Caffeine count at this point: tea, Guayaki yerba mate, Monster Energy drink at the Bing Lounge, and now a Red Bull. I'm kind of freaking out a little bit, talking a mile a minute, dropping my ice cream, and phone. I'm about to meet one of my favorite bands of all time, and I have a feeling I'm gonna be the Chris Farley to their Paul McCartney. ("Stupid!!!") Meet and greets are weird for both signers and people getting their stuff signed, I'm sure but how could anything be more awkward than trying to interact with the notoriously taciturn J. Mascis? It wasn't my most uncomfortable interaction of the day so it was totally worth it to get that purple J on the giant, giant posters available in store. It's going to be really interesting to see where this Red Bull Common Thread series goes next. (AI)
3 pm @ Puppet Labs
The final event of Portland Digital eXperience is a hackathon using APIs from Spotify, Rumblefish, MapQuest and Twilio. There's a big turnout and some pretty cool things are created—one uses a WW article to create a map of Elliott Smith songs and their inspirations around Portland. I hope next year's festival has way more of these hands-on sessions, and more music tech mashups. (RB)
5:08 pm @ Doug Fir Lounge
Redd Kross are ripping through a really great high energy set but this damn cell phone keeps trying to get service. The McDonald brothers make a lot of jokes about turning off iphones before Jeff finally confesses it's his iphone in the bottom of a John Lennon duffel bag that is the culprit. (AI)
5:09 pm @ Doug Fir Lounge
Redd Kross are selling cassette tapes of their new album Researching The Blues at the merch booth. Of course they are. (AI)
5:32 pm @ Someday Lounge
I agreed to watch a cell phone charging station at MFNW's VIP revitalization lounge for a couple of hours, forgetting it was right up against Starfucker's set at Pioneer Courthouse Square. C'est la vie. For the next few hours, it's like I'm a bartender, providing a service, bullshitting with strangers. I drink another Red Bull, and it's not so bad. (AI)
6:30 pm @ Pioneer Courthouse Square
AU is playing with a whole lot of energy, which sometimes proves to be a difficult task for opening bands performing in front of trickling, unsettled audiences. Some guy just stepped on the back of the stage and started rocking out hard with a huge smile on his face. I don't know who he is, but he's dressed so well that I feel like I should know. (EB)
7:30 pm @ Pioneer Courthouse Square
Starfucker's live show (which includes some fancy, synced lighting) has tightened considerably since the last time I saw the group. It's nice to see a couple thousand people lose their shit over "German Love," which is something I've been insisting should happen for a good long while now. (SD)
7:37 pm @ Someday Lounge
I'm supposed to close the cell phone charging station but a straggler's android is still plugged in and the owner is nowhere to be found. I get a friend to watch the station for a minute while I try to find the Android owner. I ask a couple of people twice if the phone is theirs before finally hearing from my friend that the owner has retrieved his phone. (AI)
8 pm @ Backspace
"This venue is the best," I overhear one of tonight's performers say. "I just played Counter-Strike." (AI)
8:05 pm @ Doug Fir
Kicking off the last full night of MFNW by drinking a beer alone in the corner upstairs at Doug Fir. I don't think I've fully recovered from last night yet, but I'm determined to power through. It's basically my job now. (MPS)
8:45 pm @ Pioneer Courthouse Square
The Pioneer Courthouse shows have leaned understandably toward mellower fare in past years, but Girl Talk's ability to instigate mayhem on a grand scale argues for a reversal of this policy. I'd feel pretty well served if I paid the price of admission and was only able to see his light show/toilet paper cannons, to say nothing of the courtyard-spanning dance party that sets everyone from pinnacle to pit into motion. (SD)
8:45 pm @ Hawthorne Theater
The pre-concert music is a mix of '80s hip-hop. Perfect for opening act Xiu Xiu but hilariously out of place for the headliner. (RH)
8:50 pm @ Doug Fir
Screw Girl Talk: The We Shared Milk is dropping some killer hazy-stoned jams right now. They will be ruling Portland soon. (MPS)
9:05 pm @ Hawthorne Theater
Sadly, it looks like Jamie Stewart is on his own tonight. Guess he didn't want the full band experience to overshadow the meek, quiet sound of Swans. #irony (RH)
9:07 pm @ Old Church
So pleased this place joined the long list of venues. It's gorgeous in here. Pure Bathing Culture's rubbery sound is bouncing off of the many soft walls of this beautiful chamber. The band sounds fantastic, like a girl-next-door version of Beach House. (MAS)
9:10 pm @ Holocene
Man, way to be late to Vice Device, me. VD—he he—is maybe my favorite band in Portland right now, combining my fondness for the sax and my predilection for music that scares me a bit. (JF)
9:20 pm @ Roseland Theater
J. Mascis is on stage with an acoustic guitar plugged into a lot of effects and at one point it sounds like a symphony of noise. It's the perfect weird soundtrack to the emotionally charged conversation I'm having with a friend, but I stop him when J. plays "Not Enough" from last year's solo record Several Shades of Why. (AI)
9:23 pm @ Hawthorne Theater
This is my first time seeing someone on stage hitting a gong with a slingshot. Will it be my last? (RH)
9:33 pm @ Old Church
You can't carry a Heineken out of the small impromptu bar, so I'm stuck staring at old photos of Portland buildings that no longer exist. There's an incredible light fixture in here and it's blinking when Pure Bathing Culture plays extra hard. The band is playing wonderfully together, amazed by the echo chamber that is the Old Church and what its doing to their songs. (MAS)
9:37 pm @ Hawthorne Theater
Jamie Stewart is screaming about abortions while clawing at an autoharp and a theremin simultaneously. A guy up on the balcony yells, "It'll be OK!" (MPS)
9:39 pm @ Roseland Theater
J's set is over. "Alright, thanks. See ya in a bit, " he says. I think he's actually really enjoying the Common Thread concept. (AI)
9:45 pm @ Holocene
Was planning to camp out at Holocene all night, then realized: That's not the MFNW way! Headed to Doug Fir to see this Kishi Bashi fellow the kids are talking about. (JF)
9:49 pm @ Roseland Theater
I'm continuing that emotionally charged conversation from earlier and Eric Clapton's "Cocaine" comes on over the house speakers. The dude soundchecking vocal mics intones "Cocaine, cocaine, 1,2, check, check, cocaine, check check." It's funny, trust me. (AI)
9:50 pm @ Roseland Theater
Too tired and lazy to make my way over to the Hawthorne for Swans. I'm already wearing plaid, so I may as well go see Sebadoh and Dinosaur Jr. (RB)
9:50 pm @ Hawthorne Theater
All the heavy-hitters of the local music scene have made it out to see Swans: Jason Urick, Sir Richard Bishop, Jed Bindeman (Eternal Tapestry), Luke Wyland (AU). (RH)
10:20 pm @ Hawthorne Theater
10:30 pm @ Doug Fir
10:30 pm @ Branx
10:53 pm @ Roseland Theater
Holy shit. All of a sudden I realize this might be my favorite MFNW ever. There's just been something about enjoying great bands with old friends, new friends, and colleagues that has been chill as fuck. It doesn't hurt that my experience has been bookended on either side by Joyce Manor and Dinosaur Jr., two of my favorite bands this year. (AI)
10:58 pm @ Hawthorne Theater
Swans start tearing into the title track from its new album The Seer. Nearly 40 minutes later they will end the song, riding waves of shuddering volume and dynamics, and enveloping tribal rhythms. For the band, it looks like another sweaty day at the office; for everyone here in the audience, it's a religious experience (RH)
11:10 pm @ Branx
Branx smells really fishy right now. The things I do for you, Big Freedia. (NEJ)
11:10 pm @ Roseland Theater
Dinosaur Jr.'s drummer Murph is on stage meticulously adjusting his drum kit. That kit's had a busy day too. (AI)
11:15 pm @ Crystal Ballroom
This place is packed. People are either frustrated about a) finding a place to stand in hopes of catching even a glimpse of who seems to be the shortest man on earth, or b) trying to experience the feeling of his songs through all of the crowd chatter. C'mon people—just hug 'n' sway. (EB)
11:18 pm @ Berbati's
The Soft Moon is dark and droning, like the soundtrack to an '80s horror film. Only this soundtrack has bounce. The drummer is beating the hell out of his equipment. I'm pretty sure a splintered piece of drumstick just landed in my neighbor's drink. (MAS)
11:20 pm @ Holocene
Back at MFNW's darkwave night, Dangerous Boys Club's Aaron Montaigne is just a dancing silhouette amidst plumes of fog and fields of lasers. (JF)
11:20 pm @ Roseland Theater
Dinosaur Jr. are twenty minutes late to the stage. (AI)
11:20 pm @ Roseland Theater
J. Mascis appears to be wearing neon yellow teddy bear slippers. According to his instagram, they are actually Adidas sneakers acquired from the Adidas HQ earlier in the day:
Needless to say, they are mesmorising. (RB)
11:20 pm @ Branx
Ass everywhere, ass everywhere. Big Freedia BROUGHT IT. The best thing about this show is watching Portlanders twerk and booty bounce. Priceless. (NEJ)
11:22 pm @ Branx
I know that majestic creature onstage in the kaleidoscope jacket!! GO JAMAL! SHAKE THAT THANG! (NEJ)
11:47 pm @ Hawthorne Theater
Swans seems like its far from over, but I manage to tear myself from the band's grip to haul my aching bones downtown for one final show. (RH)
11:46 pm @ Roseland Theater
J. takes another swig of coconut water. I don't even like coconut water, but I'm jealous he has something to quench his thirst. (AI)
11:50 pm @ Branx
Rather than the booty-shaking contests or the rapid-fire onslaught of club bangers, the best part of Big Freedia's set winds up being the string of hard-assed a cappella verses she delivers by way of a closer. (SD)
11:54 @ Roseland Theater
Dinosaur Jr. plays "Feel The Pain". I'm grabbing friends and strangers in the mosh pit by the shoulders and we're screaming at each other, "I FEEL THE PAIN OF EVERYONE!!! AND THEN I FEEL NOTHING!!!" This is so much fun. (AI)
11:55 pm @ Crossing W Burnside
Sorry, Dino Jr., but I must leave you for Redd Kross. It's been real. (RB)
12 am @ Doug Fir
The tap of Fat Tire ran out halfway through my cup, so the bartender gave me a whole other cup of Newcastle too. Cool! (NEJ)
12 am @ Dante's
The crowd waiting for Redd Kross to come on stage deserves to be way bigger than this. Ah well, your loss, MFNW. (RB)
12:10 am @ Dante's
The boys in Redd Kross look their age (bassist Steve McDonald will be 50 next year; his younger brother Jeff is in his late 40s), but everything else about them is as youthful as ever. The brothers McDonald hit their harmonies and swagger on the stage like it's 1984 all over again. (RH)
12:14 am @ Roseland Theater
"Are you guys ok?" asks Lou Barlow. "I just wanna make sure you guys are okay."(AI)
12:15 am @ Holocene
I see how Nite Jewel, aka Ramona Gonzalez, fits this bill, but it is decidedly the funkiest, most joyous act on it. Gonzalez compensates for her small stature by pogoing around the stage between keyboard parts. (JF)
12:15 am @ Roseland Theater
I've just been thinking how this mosh pit for Dinosaur Jr. has been the most fun I've had in a mosh since seeing Weezer in Seattle last summer. It's cathartic and raucous all at the same time. I gotta get some fucking water though. On my way to purchase it I run into Kathy Foster from the Thermals, who opened that Weezer show. As I approach the counter for a bottle of water, the band plays "Freak Scene". Of course they do. (AI)
8 pm @ Rontoms
I've no interest in Silversun Pickups, so I'm closing out MFNW with Portland music agency Marmoset's free, all-day showcase of local bands on the back patio at Rontoms. Free beer and burgers from Violetta? Can't beat that. Although at this point of the weekend, the slow, gentle harmonizing of Pearly Gate Music is not what I want or need. I'm taking my burger home. Fare thee well, MFNW 2012! (MPS)
11:15 pm @ Missisippi Studios
The hardly-mentioned finale show featuring Earlimart is the perfect sendoff to MFNW. Deep Sea Diver may be putting on the best set of the weekend. Jessica Dobson's voice is angelic and she's teaching us all a thing or two about how to play a guitar riff. Plus, there's a guy in a sport coat playing the tambourine and a few pots and pans. (MAS)
12:00 am @ Mississippi Studios
Earlimart is cool and crisp, true pros. Aaron Espinoza has been compared to Elliott Smith his whole career and, as he sends his drummer to the bar and plays alone, it seems a pretty accurate assessment. Both are whispery vocal wizards, so introverted you wonder if they've ever seen daylight. (MAS)
12:35 am @ Mississippi Studios
I spent the day listening to System Preferences so that I could politely request new Earlimart tracks. But I can't get myself to ask, frozen by the fact that this year's festival is a song or two from over. Earlimart resumes it gorgeous brand of sublimely subdued alt-rock and I brace for the end with a cold margarita. (MAS)

Located in a rejuvenated part of North Portland, this pizza shop offers quick, free delivery for orders of more than $10. The menu includes pizza, calzones, spaghetti and salad. The pizza crust here is perfect: not too thin, not too thick. The tomato sauce has just enough zip to add a little tang to all the dishes. A favorite is the spaghetti with meatballs.
