Washington: Majority of Indian-Americans prefer Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump as their choice for the next US President when it comes to issues of immigration, religious freedom and outsourcing, a Silicon Valley-based think tank has said.
However, the New York-based billionaire has an edge over Clinton when it comes to India-specific foreign policy of the United States and the fight against terrorism, the Indian-American think-tank said on Tuesday quoting its recent survey.
Most of the respondent preferred Clinton over Trump on immigration (59 to 29 perc ent), religious freedom (67 to 27 per cent), outsourcing (52 to 22 per cent) and trust issues (40 to 17 per cent), the Foundation of India and Indian Diaspora Studies (FIIDS-USA.org) said while releasing the results of the survey carried out on Indian-Americans about their opinions on the two US presidential candidates.
Trump faired little better against Clinton over terrorism (48 to 43 per cent) and India specific strategic alliances (47 to 40 per cent) with respect to countries like Pakistan, China, Russia among others.
FIIDS is a US think-tank based working on dialogues and research related socio, economic and geo-political issues and policy matters related to India and the Indian diaspora.
An overwhelming majority of the respondents were naturalized citizens (89 per cent) and male (82 per cent).

Presented in partnership with The Seattle Public Library and Vanishing Seattle.
In the face of rapid redevelopment, how do we save the places that anchor Seattle’s LGBTQ communities but may lack the architectural significance typically required for landmarking? A panel of preservationists, small business owners, and activists will discuss important community places and the challenges we face in making preservation more inclusive.
Cost: Free! Advanced registration appreciated.

Steve Bennett – Owner of the Gaslight Inn, a Seattle Landmark, for over 30 years. In that time the house and business have assumed a significant role in the neighborhood’s LGBTQ community, from its time as a refuge for grieving families devastated by AIDS to its use for political events for the state’s first openly gay legislator and mayor.

SK Battery America is investing $19 million to open an IT center in Roswell, Ga., to serve the company's battery manufacturing facilities across the United States.
"We decided to open our IT regional center in Roswell to strengthen SK's position as a leader in the battery industry," Jason Choi, head of information technology at SK Battery America said in a Jan. 26 news release. "It will help us build and operate an advanced manufacturing system in accordance with further expansion of battery production bases in the United States."
The center will create 200 new jobs in the area including positions like data analysts and IT experts for battery manufacturing execution system development and operations.
South Korea-based SK expects operations at the center to begin in January.
The company is investing almost $2.6 billion in two lithium-ion battery manufacturing facilities in Commerce, Ga., about 70 miles east of Roswell, to supply batteries for EVs like the Ford F-150 Lightning and Volkswagen ID.4.

Details of the swoop last Saturday emerged as the Navy was praised for seizing £81million-worth of cocaine in three separate busts in the Caribbean.
Police chiefs warned drugs are “inextricably linked to a high proportion of the violence” and Navy chiefs said sailors and Royal Marines “have done themselves, their families and the country proud”.
Meanwhile, officers from the Met, Surrey, Kent, Essex, Hertfordshire, Thames Valley, Hampshire, City of London and British Transport Police have also arrested 230 criminals this week in a blitz on county lines gangs.
Nikki Holland, NCA Director of Investigations, said: “We know that a lot of these drugs would have ultimately been sold in the UK, through county lines networks.
“There is violent competition between rival organised crime groups at all stages of Class A drug production and supply. The business model also involves the exploitation of vulnerable adults and children both in the UK and overseas.
“By targeting those at the top of the chain and dismantling the county lines business model, we reduce drug supply to the UK, making it an unviable business.”
In the Caribbean, Royal Marines and the US Coast Guard team on board support ship RFA Argus hauled 11 bales of cocaine weighing 358kg (789lb) in the first operation.
Patrol ship HMS Medway and her US Coast Guard team followed that up by catching traffickers in two interceptions within 24 hours in the Caribbean Sea, which saw 650kg (1,433lb) of cocaine seized.
Dealers were chased by speedboat. Commanding Officer of HMS Medway, Lieutenant Commander Jim Blythe, said: “The Royal Navy and the US Coast Guard have prevented a significant quantity of drugs crossing the Caribbean that could have been destined for the streets of the UK.
“They have done themselves, their families and the country proud.”
Minister for the Armed Forces James Heappey told how the Royal Navy task group helped the operation after it was in the Caribbean to respond to damage caused by hurricanes.
He said: “Now they’re making drugs busts alongside our friends in the US Coastguard.
“This is amazing work from our people after months away from home.”

A new case of Martsolf syndrome.Genet Couns. 2007; 18(1):71-5.GC
Martsolf syndrome is an autosomal recessive syndrome characterized by microcephaly, mental retardation, cataract, hypogonadism and short stature. A seven-year-old boy was admitted to the hospital with growth retardation and difficulties in walking. His parents were first cousins. Bilateral lens extraction was performed during infancy because of congenital cataract. On physical examination he had short stature, microcephaly, micropthalmia, hypogonadism, mental retardation. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed alterations in the white matter. Up to date very few cases with this syndrome have been reported. This is the first case described in the Turkish population and may add valuable information to the literature.

Having a dog can be emotionally fulfilling and bring meaning to your life. Dogs are a long-term commitment, and the owner should be willing to dedicate considerable time for their well-being. However, there are also many resources available for dog owners to train their pets and make the most of their pets. Read our articles for more information on responsible dog breeding and training, and on different communities for dog owners.
Training a Dog
Training a dog is a central part of having one. It provides emotional benefits for the dog and opens more opportunities for the owner. How to train a dog depends very much on the breed, on the planned used of the dog, and on the needs of the owner. Some breeds, like the German Shepherd, are much easier to train than others. Show dogs or work dogs also require much more training than house pets.
Breeding dogs is necessary for providing healthy puppies of different breeds. Breeding can be a fulfilling hobby or profession, but one should not breed dogs without being committed to its ethical standards. Even dog owners who are not interested in breeding itself should understand the principles of responsible breeding before adopting a dog.
There are many dedicated dog clubs and communities available for dog owners interested in spending time with their pets, training them, having them participate in shows or sports, or simply learning more about their hobby. There are numerous clubs around the world, and all dog owners will surely find a club that will suit their needs and interests.

Vietnam has one of the world's fastest growing economies. 60% of the population is under 30, most living with their parents until marriage. Pressure to conform comes from all sides; the Communist Government, state run media and the family unit itself. Private moments are shared in public spaces; crowded coffee shops, bridges and parks. Acess to the internet and satellite t.v. give the youth a taste of life from outside these borders. For a small minority, this underground metal scene provides a means of escape. The sheer force and velocity of this music creates the backdrop where these Vietnamese individuals join to express themselves.
I relocated to Saigon 4 years ago, I wanted to document contemporary Vietnam. I went to a rock/metal gig, where I witnessed an arena full of Vietnamese teenagers going crazy to this music. As a teenager I’d been into punk bands like The Dead Kennedy's, The Damned and Fugazi. The passion and energy of these teenagers resonated with me, youth sub-cultures have been a subject i have been documenting since then. I wanted to find out more about this form of expression, which had found a voice under a one party state.
Over the last two years, a breakaway group of bands and dedicated fans were getting into the more extreme forms of metal music - Death, Brutal, Raw Black and Grindcore. These gigs would take place in 80's style mirrored discothèques, run down shopping malls at the city limits and in people's living rooms - sometimes shut down at the last minute by the police. These impromptu DIY gatherings form the basis of my photographic project.

Credit account dispute could stall mortgage application
Could a little-known and potentially controversial practice by mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac kill or stall your next loan application? Absolutely.
Picture this scenario: You’ve got outstanding credit scores close to 800 and solid equity in your home. All you want is to refinance your mortgage to take advantage of today’s rock-bottom interest rates.
Your application should rocket through your lender’s system and get you a great rate. But your bank says: Sorry, we can’t do your loan. Fannie Mae’s automated underwriting system won’t accept any application where there is a notation in the credit report that a consumer has disputed an account or “tradeline.”
You explain that the dispute -- over a medical bill or a credit card charge -- was valid. The account was closed. The creditor promised to remove the dispute notation but apparently didn’t. Your loan officer won’t budge. Policy is policy, he says. Your refi application is dead.
What’s going on here? Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, consumers are guaranteed the right to dispute erroneous information on any account in their credit files. Once a consumer challenges that information, a notation to this effect must be made on the file. As long as it remains, most credit-scoring systems generally will not factor the disputed account into the computation of the consumer’s score.
Does Fannie Mae deny loans to consumers simply because they exercised their legal rights? In an e-mail response, communications director Amy Bonitatibus confirmed that the firm’s automated underwriting system -- used by virtually all lenders doing business with Fannie Mae -- sends applications with “consumer disputed” items on credit reports back to the lender for what is known as “manual underwriting.”
Bonitatibus said the company does “not prohibit delivery of a loan . . . where the borrower has disputed information” on his or her credit report. Through manual underwriting, she said, “our policy requires the lender to determine and document whether or not the disputed information is accurate and underwrite the borrower’s credit accordingly.”
What’s the practical effect of bucking back applications to lenders for potentially lengthy discussions with applicants and their creditors? According to consumer postings on FiLife, a financial education website, the net result often is that the bank brushes you off and blames it on Fannie Mae.
Christopher Cruise, a Maryland mortgage originator and founding member of the National Assn. of Responsible Loan Officers, said, “There’s no question -- when there are lots of other applications and business is good,” applications requiring extra time and research “just aren’t going to move.”
Evan Hendricks, author of the book “Credit Scores and Credit Reports” and publisher of Privacy Times, a newsletter that outlined Fannie Mae’s policy in a recent report, calls it “extremely unfair to honest consumers who are simply doing what they should -- challenging misinformation.”
Freddie Mac’s policy on disputed tradelines is broadly similar to Fannie Mae’s, spokesman Brad German said.
Why are Fannie and Freddie so uptight about applications with disputed accounts? Mainly because credit repair companies have been gaming automated systems tied to credit scores by disputing accurate but negative items. When tradelines in a consumer’s files contain a “disputed” notation, most scoring software ignores them for the purposes of computing the score.
A seriously delinquent account that could legitimately depress a FICO score might be taken out of the equation -- at least temporarily -- if a “consumer disputed” notation is in the file. Fannie and Freddie are trying to protect themselves from fraud.
For the time being, it’s tough luck for all applicants with disputes in their credit files.
Fannie Mae, however, says it is reviewing its policy, so maybe there’s a chance for a change.

The issue about promotions – a reaction to an SLP preferred by the Centre against the August 2017 judgment of the Delhi High Court quashing the DoPT Office Memorandum (OM) dated August 13, 1997, which provided for the continuation of reservation in promotions indefinitely – was on Wednesday (July 11) referred to a constitution bench by the Supreme Court bench of Chief Justice Dipak Misra and Justices A M Khanwilkar and D Y Chandrachud.
The high court had passed the verdict in the light of the apex court constitution bench judgment in M Nagaraj (2006).
Today, petitioner Jarnail Singh said that the Union of India is not debarred from making promotions, quoting Nagraj decisions.
Senior counsel Rajeev Dhavan said that the matter should go before a constitutional bench. The only problem is created by the order of May 15, which stated “reserved for reserved and unreserved for unreserved” by justice Kurian Joseph. This order questions the validity and applicability of the Nagraj judgment.
Attorney General KK Venugopal supported the arguments of Dhavan saying that many issues have arisen.
Senior counsel Indira Jaising said that a holistic approach has to be taken by the bench in this matter.
At that the CJI said that 15(4)&(5) are enabling provisions.
Respondents Lachhmi Narain Gupta said the Nagraj decision needs to be reconsidered. The CJI, however, said that the petitioners have to make out a case stating that the Nagraj decision is wrong.
Jaising said that no promotions will be stopped, as per the decision of this court.
The matter to be listed before the constitutional bench along with the other matters at 2pm on August 3.

Senate Probes Shell Over Joint Venture
Breach, Seeks $200m Refund To FG
The Senate, on Wednesday, June 22, 2022
constituted an Ad-hoc Committee to investigate Shell Petroleum Development
Company (SPDC) over non-compliance with the Petroleum Industry Act and breach
of the Joint Venture Agreement entered into with the Federal Government of
The Ad-hoc Committee was mandated to
probe the Oil Mining Lease granted to SPDC between 1959 to 1989, and 1989 to
2019 under the SPDC/NNPC Joint Venture agreement.
The Ad-hoc Committee constituted by the
Senate President, Ahmad Lawan, has Sen. Aliyu Sabi Abdullahi as its Chairman.
Other members of the Committee include
Senators George Thompson Sekibo, Abdullahi Yahaya, Bassey Albert Akpan,
Olamilekan Solomon Adeola, Smart Adeyemi and Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed.
Accordingly, the Chamber demanded a
refund of $200 million (USD) or any amount short of what was paid by SPDC,
including penalties and interests under the said lease agreements to the
coffers of the Federal Government.
The resolution was reached by the Chamber
after it considered and passed a motion sponsored by Senator George Thompson
Sekibo (PDP, Rivers East).
The motion was titled, “non payment of
the sum of $200,000,000 accruals from the Oil Mining Lease (OML), by Shell
Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Limited under the SPDC/NNPC Joint
Venture Agreement and, illegal and unlawful renewal of Oil Mining Leases by the
Ministry of Petroleum Resources/Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR)
contrary to the provision of paragraph 10 of the First Schedule to the
Petroleum Act 1969 (now Section 86(1) and 86(6) of the Petroleum Industry Act
Sen. Sekibo, while presenting the lead
debate, observed that the SPDC/NNPC Joint Venture (JV) agreement, is in
contravention of the provisions of the Petroleum Act 1969, by the defunct
Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) and the Ministry of Petroleum
Resources, granted to the SPDC/NNPC a 30-year Oil Mining Lease from 1959 to
He observed that doing so constituted
an illegal extension of the Oil Mining Lease by 10 years in the first instance,
instead of the prescribed term of 20 years, without recourse to the provisions
of the Petroleum Act 1969 in paragraph 10 of the First Schedule.
According to the lawmaker, “upon the
expiration of the initial Oil Mining Lease in 1989, SPDC/NNPC JV, was granted
another 30-year Oil Mining Lease again from 1st July 1989 to 30th June, 2019,
by the Ministry of Petroleum Resource/DPR instead of the 20 years lease period
prescribed by the Petroleum Act, which is contrary to paragraph 10 of the First
Schedule to the said Act”.
He disclosed that in the initial
additional 10 years Oil Mining Lease of 1969 to 1989, illegally granted to the
SPDC/NNPC Joint Venture (JV) by the Ministry of Petroleum Resources/DPR, the
Federal Government lost fees, taxes, rents and royalties to the sum of $120,
Sen. Sekibo stated that in the second
instance of the extra 10 years, the Federal Government also lost a further sum
of $80,000,000, making total of $200,000,000.
He noted that a loss of $200,000,000,
which is equivalent to N83, 130, 000, 000 billion, could have been of great
value to the economy of the nation.
The lawmaker observed that the illegal
action by the Ministry of Petroleum Resources/DPR as regards the SPDC/NNPC JV
may not be the only non-compliant grant as details of other Joint Venture
agreements with: Chevron Nigeria Limited, ENI Joint Venture, EXXON Mobil Upstream
JV, Total E & P Nigeria Limited JV, need to be ascertained through a
thorough investigation to verify compliance with the provisions of the extant
Distinguished Sen. Sekibo expressed
worry that that the trend of illegal extension of Joint Venture (JV) period
from 20 years to 30 years lease period without recourse to the Petroleum Act
may have also applied to other Joint Venture agreements with the International
Oil Companies (IOCs) and need to be investigated.
Sen. Sekibo informed the Chamber that
SPDC went to Court on the clarity of the lease period and the judgment was not
in their favour as regards the additional 10 years lease period in the two
“Regrettably, the court failed to order
the SPDC to pay the arrears of the 20 years lease period to the tune of
$200,000,000 to the Federal Government for the illegal extensions”, he said.
The lawmaker further disclosed that a
whistle-blower petitioned the EFCC on the need to recover the sum of
$200,000,000 from SPDC for these illegal extensions by the Ministry of
Petroleum Resources/DPR and to further investigate all other Joint Venture
agreements that involved the aforementioned IOCs.
Accordingly, the power to make laws for
the Federation as vested in the National Assembly by the Constitution also
encompasses the power to make laws for the promotion of national prosperity and
a dynamic self-reliant economy as provided in section 16(1)(a) of the 1999
Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended.
The lawmaker emphasised that the
Constitution also gives power to each House of the National Assembly to carry
out appropriate investigation on observed misapplication of the laws enacted by
the National Assembly, as provided in Section 88 of the Constitution.
He stated further that Section 89 of
the same Constitution provides the process on how such investigation should be
Accordingly, the Senate resolved to
constitute an Ad-hoc Committee to investigate the non-compliance with the
Petroleum Act and the Oil Mining Lease granted to SPDC between 1959 to 1989,
and 1989 to 2019 under the SPDC/NNPC Joint Venture Agreement; and compel SPDC
to refund to the Federal Government the sum of $200,000,000 or any amount short
of what was paid, including penalties and interests under the said lease

CAIR-CA: REDDING MAYOR, SHERIFF ATTEND IFTAR
(REDDING, CA 10/17/2006) – The Redding, Ca., Muslim community recently hosted a community iftar (breaking of the daily Ramadan fast) and invited many of their friends and neighbors to attend to learn more about the month of Ramadan and Islam in general.
Redding Mayor Ken Murray attended the event to assure the local community of his support. Last month, the Murray stated that Shia Muslims are “wing nuts” and that “Either the Judeo-Christian philosophy will survive or the Islamic philosophy will survive.”

“I commend Mayor Murray for attending the iftar,” said Basim Elkarra, executive director of the Sacramento Valley chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-SV). “His willingness to attend and speak before the local community sends a reassuring message that Muslims should not be stereotyped.”

The googly eyes make the whole video experience.
“For better or worse,” as Cymatic Bruce says, this developer’s decided to put up video diaries of his Oculus Rift virtual reality experimentation. His Rift arrived earlier this month and, ever since, he’s been toying with various Steam titles, everything from Half Life 2 to Team Fortress 2. See Mirror’s Edge in a completely new way; just try not to wince when Faith tumbles to her all-but-inevitable doom.
Bruce had better luck here than with his Portal 2 experience, which left him – and possibly also you, if you watch it – a little woozy. There’s clearly some kinks to be worked out, but this self-described “VR enthusiast sharing his thoughts,” as Bruce puts it, is willing to give it a shot. Though sometimes – as with his Dear Esther experiment – older technology and shifting shadows kinda throw a monkey wrench in the works. Music and sound, in Dear Esther‘s case, more than made up for it. “The horror game element is going to come into play,” Bruce says, “something flickering on the edge of your vision, and combine that with someone whispering in your ear … I would make [that game], and then I wouldn’t play it!”
Bruce’s one man band, Cymatic Software, is something he’s only able to devote spare time to at the moment. “The idea of VR has fascinated me since childhood,” says Bruce, “but unfortunately the tech never really delivered on the promise of movies like Lawnmower Man and Johnny Mnemonic.” Now he has something that might just do the trick, and – Razer Hydra interface and snazzy eyewear at the ready – Bruce is trying out a brave new world.

YS Sharmila, the daughter of the former Chief Minister YSR is trying her luck in Telangana. She has been painting herself as the daughter-in-law of the state. She recently completed a big milestone of finishing two thousand kilometers in the yatra. Sadly, the milestone is not helping her increase his political mileage.
Sadly, more than the yatra, her fight with the ruling party leaders is bringing her the mileage. A few leaders of the ruling TRS complained to the Assembly Speaker against Sharmila. Experts said that the legislators complaining about Sharmila can be seen as her growth in politics.
Now Sharmila raised many eyebrows with her explosive press meet. She attended the Vanaparti press meet with handcuffs and made some sensational comments about her late father. Her comments have increased the political heat at once.
Taking everyone by surprise, YSRTP chief YS Sharmila alleged that her father was killed with a conspiracy. Not just that, she even said that a conspiracy is being made against her and she's not going to fear the conspiracy. Terming herself as the daughter of YSR, Sharmila said she doesn't fear anything.
Sharmila launched an overall attack against the KCR government and dared the ruling party to arrest her if they could. To date them, she came with handcuffs as per the political observers.
Sharmila breathed fire on Minister Niranjan Reddy and asked how can a Legislator use such kind of language and the cops did not take any action. Talking about the FIR filed against her, Sharmila asked why no FIR was filed against the Minister when she complained, but an FIR was filed against her when the Minister complained.
Expressing her dissatisfaction with the cops, Sharmila asked if the cops are working only for the ruling party. Why no cases and FIR were filed when Niranjan Reddy called me Mardalu? Is this the respect women get in the state she asked?
The supporters of the ruling TRS doubt that the explosive comments about the conspiracy to target her might have political aspirations as Sharmila wants to increase the political mileage she got with the complaint registered against her.

A mid-year economic recovery has seen some of the gloom abate and the festive season may have imparted an added buoyancy. But the mood in the Indian media industry as it heads into the new year, remains sombre.
Impunity continues to be the norm where attacks on journalists in Sri Lanka are concerned. Since the murder of Dharmaratnam Sivaram “Taraki” in April 2005, there have been at least 14 other cases of journalists and media workers reported murdered,writes Sukumar Muralidharan.
There are occasions in history when collective trauma brings a nation intimately in contact with its deepest anxieties. Mumbai 26/11, to use the media shorthand for the horror that began one night in November and carried on for close to three days, was one such. The terrorist attacks that began November 26 and transformed swiftly into a 60-hour long siege of three landmark buildings in India’s commercial metropolis, have deeply transformed the national polity. The true consequences will take a while manifesting themselves.
Veteran journalist Sukumar Muralidharan writes on the shoddy manner the investigations have been conducted into the blasts case and how the feverish mainstream media coverage has failed to highlight the inconsistencies in the investigations. The absence of a due course of law while political influence looms large on the process of providing justice has only made a mockery of the whole process; in turn creating conditions for further grievances with the system, which could well metamorphose into further acts of terrorism.

Early this morning, police dismantled the Occupy Oakland encampment in Frank Ogawa Plaza. KALW’s Holly Kernan called Mayor Jean Quan to find out why officials decided to clear the camp now.
* * *
HOLLY KERNAN You’ve been back and forth on whether the camp could stay in the plaza. Why did you decide to evict the protesters today?
MAYOR JEAN QUAN: I’m not sure if I’ve been back and forth. And when we started the demonstrations, I said it would be on a day-to-day basis. That was about a month ago and then it was clear pretty much by the end of the first week and the beginning of the second week that every day there was more violence there were sexual assaults, A person was hit over the head with a two-by-four to control them.
The encampment really seemed to lose the focus of the movement and everything became about the encampment and not about the 99% or organizing, and that’s when as a part of our leadership team, the city agreed that we had to close the camp before someone was hurt even more seriously.
And then, unfortunately, at the demonstrations, it was clear that people were not clear on why the camp was closed. We’ve taken this time over the last two weeks to really talk to the community about the impact of the camp. The fact that it’s not questioned at all… It was a question of safety, and the murder last Thursday sort of underscored that.
The second thing is the impact on the City of Oakland and particularly in the downtown area. I don’t know how long you’ve been in the Bay Area but after Loma Prieta, downtown was like a ghost town. It took us a long time to build up. Now there a lot of thriving small businesses, immigrant businesses, restaurants, [and] office buildings are starting to fill up again, and we were finding that the impact was pretty devastating.
I tell people I am a restaurant brat; I grew up a Chinese American so I’ve had a lot of occupations, and my family as immigrants have a lot of small businesses, in particular restaurants, and the restaurants even as far away as Chinatown are telling their staff that patronage has gone down about 50%. And I know being someone who grew up in a family – and the example I give is that we would never even close for Christmas until I was about five because we couldn’t afford to lose a single day to keep our business going – and so a lot of small businesses have been really, really hurt.
The third thing is that the services for the city have really been reduced because of budget cuts. I cut $30 million this year to balance the budget. We laid off hundreds of people and Occupy was really draining the resources of maintenance workers, the police. There was one demonstration where almost 100 calls went unanswered because the cops were tied up downtown.
And so it’s not just one reason – it’s many reasons. And it’s something that I think now more Oaklanders understand and more Oaklanders are dividing the issues of supporting Occupy Oakland’s goals from the encampment.
I was on a conference call with big city mayors and of the 18 of us, we were having the same problem where the people who started the camps were no longer in control, and that they’ve become a big drain and have become very dangerous places.
KERNAN: And you talked a little bit about the cost to the city. A lot of people are criticizing the October 25th police response as overly-aggressive and something that is likely to bring lawsuits upon the city. What your response to that?
QUAN: You know I said “in the beginning,” since I wasn’t here when most of the violence happened, that we would have an independent review. And I hope to be able to announce the person who will do that review this week.
We’re not happy. I started as a council member during the Iraq War and helped formulate the guidelines for demonstrations, and we want our rules to be filled, but I think it’s a lot like the demonstrations… Most the people of the demonstrations are non-violent and believe in good goals, and the small percentage have created the problems like the violence and the vandalism.
I think that’s the same with our police. Most of our police officers have tried to keep the peace and there may have been some instances for a few officers, but we really need to move forward together.
KERNAN: And you’re being criticized on many sides for how you’ve dealt with this occupation. Your advisor Dan Seigel resigned today. How are you dealing with the political fallout and the recall?
QUAN: Well you know I haven’t had enough time to deal with the recall. The reality is that this is a pretty troubling time in the history and the city has to decide whether or not these kind of movements are going to be non-violent or not, and I’ve really been focusing on that.
Dan and I have known each other since we were at Berkeley. Sometimes we agree; sometimes we don’t. I want to thank him for the work he’s done, and he’s moving on and I’m moving on ‘cause today I’m just going to do a regular meeting focused on getting new jobs here. I’m trying to change our community policing and working with the schools, and I’m just moving on too.
KERNAN: And you said that you support the Occupy movement. What does that mean for you?
QUAN: I think that the movement across the country means a lot of things for a lot of people, but for me it means that we really focus on the distribution of resources in a more fair way. So locally, that comes down to making sure that families get a chance to save their homes on cases of foreclosures. It means that we try to make sure that people have opportunity for jobs, that we try to make sure that people work really hard to get the benefit of decent services.
The way I’ve been particularly leaning on this issue is that I’ve been trying to focus on the 100 blocks in Oakland that have had the most violence. If you followed this year when I became mayor, murders were spiking in the city and I was able to start to bring those down in the summer where we were able to put in more officers because the police union started contributing to its fund. We were able to bring back over 30 officers. We were able to bring back more officers in those neighborhoods with the most violence and were able to bring down some of the violence.
And now I want to add on to that more resources for kids such as mentors, parent training, more resources for those schools, more after school programs, more programs to keep kids in school. I think when you deal with helping Oakland [you] will have to deal with giving young people an opportunity for a decent education and to have real hope.
KERNAN: And even before Occupy Oakland movement moved into Frank Ogawa Plaza you had a bit of a strange relationship with the Oakland police department. This seems to have made it even more acute. How are you dealing with trying to repair that?
QUAN: Yeah it’s true I was not their candidate. And first of all I brought back many officers that were laid off and I worked on the issues that they cared about. When I went to a majority of the police lineups I heard in the rank and file that there was three things they wanted: They wanted more police officers, they wanted better radios – and we worked on that, in fact we heard few complaints about that recently – and they want laptops and other equipment. So I’ve really been trying to work on their priorities.
I’ve also been trying to work on different relationships. I’ve been asking them to get out of their cars and walk in neighborhoods, and now on this 100-block project with the new federal grant, we’re going to have 25 officers who are going to be out of their cars, on their street, talking to people on the street, visiting the schools, and making sure that kids get to school safely. And so I want to change the relationship fundamentally with the police department and the community.
KERNAN: And Mayor Quan, when you tried to address the general assembly of the Occupy Oakland movement you were shouted down. What would you like them to hear from you?
QUAN: You know it was interesting that night a very small group surrounded me and shouted out, but the majority of people actually were saying, “Let her speak.” And so what I said that night, and what I continued to say at that point, was I wanted a dialogue.
I’m one of the few mayors that has an Occupy movement that doesn’t have somebody to talk to and you know that resolution’s never gone to the general family to have a group of people that formally represent the movement, to talk and meet with the city.
Recently a group of people who moved out of the camp who said that they want to have a peaceful continuation meeting with the police chief – and that was a good first step.
And I know that they’re gonna try to stabilize their movement by finding a place to be, that they’re looking for a place to rent or a place inside so they can continue their organizing ‘cause they too are tired of just making the movement about whether or not they can be in Frank Ogawa Plaza. It takes so much energy for them to maintain that and keep it safe, and they were not successful. So I know a lot of people who are in the unions and other community groups want to get on with their organizing the movement was launched on
KERNAN: Is there anything else I should ask?
QUAN: Yes, let me just say that I know that not everybody agrees with my decision as mayor. I’ve really had to try to make a decision that I’ve thought through and each step was for the city. Not everyone agrees with it, but I ask people to respect the decision.
But I think now the consensus of the city is that people were tired of the impact of the encampment on downtown and on the rest of the city, and hope that people will be peaceful tonight and that we could work together on issues that unite us and not divide us.

Kernan also spoke with KALW’s Ali Winston, who has been covering the Occupy movement and was at the camp this morning.
* * *
HOLLY KERNAN: Ali, what happened this morning?
ALI WINSTON: So this morning a group of 400-500 people gathered at the intersection of 14th and Broadway. They’d gotten wind of a police raid by Oakland police and departments from around the region around 4 or 5am. They gathered in this intersection, they pounded on drums, they chanted, they formed a picket line. The police came around 4:45am and formed a loose perimeter, maybe two or three blocks around the encampment. And when they moved in, they set up a line at 14th and Broadway, cutting the demonstrators off from Frank Ogawa Plaza and the camp, the tent city. And they moved in and arrested about 32 people who had remained in the camp and tore the tent city down.
KERNAN: So it was relatively peaceful this morning, this eviction, compared with October 25th?
WINSTON: That’s right. There were no bottles thrown, there was no tear gas fired by the police. There were no less-lethal projectiles fired as there were on October 25th. There were fewer arrests as well. But the real disturbance on October 25th happened during a 4pm re-convergence at the Oakland Public Library where thousands marched on the police station and the plaza as well. And that’s going on right now so it remains to be seen whether this is going south again or not.
KERNAN: And we’ll keep our eye on that and continue to cover it. As sort of a human interest moment, right before the police cleared the camp there was a wedding?
WINSTON: That’s right. Two medics got married, a man named Bakesale and a woman who goes by the name Amanda Hug-a-chicken. They did a wedding by human mic and it was kind of special.
KERNAN: So the big allegation is that the camp had become dangerous and violent. Can you tell me about who was in the camp this morning and whether those allegations are true?
WINSTON: Well the demographic of the camp definitely shifted after the October 25th raid. Prior to that there’d been a lot more organizers, a lot more people who went to the general assembly who were very involved in that. And after the raid, after the camp was set back up again, a lot of the people who stayed overnight were either homeless or dependent on social services for housing, for mental health services. And it really became kind of a triage center for a lot of people who are left out from the social safety net that’s been cut so severely in California and around the U.S.
So the demographic had changed and a lot of the problems that come with dealing with folks with mental health or substance abuse problems came along. The murder of Kayode Foster, the 25-year-old man who was killed last Thursday, actually happened – it was the result of a fight over a marijuana deal that had gone south.
KERNAN: And a lot of people say that that was kind of the last straw for the city.
WINSTON: That’s right. It’s a painfully common story in Oakland about a fistfight between two young men of color ending with a firearm and somebody lying dead on the sidewalk. And the difference is that it happened in the middle of rush hour, dead smack in the middle of the city, and in front of news cameras.

After two years in limbo, the Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational is officially back. It’s all happening pretty quick, too. The news that the Aikau family had secured new sponsors for the memorial contest came out less than a week ago, and by Thursday afternoon a slew of competitors and fans had made their way to the North Shore for the opening ceremony.
And now that the formality of an opening ceremony is complete, the contest window will be opening up immediately as well, running from Saturday, December 1 to February 28, 2019. After a whirlwind week of massive surf in Hawaii, a quick Google scroll and search through forecasts will hint that conditions for the contest might line up as early as having a go at it next week.

"In an arena in which formats are sacrosanct, Joe Frank has charted new territory with his literate, frequently bizarre, wildly funny essays and parodies... He can be funny, poignant, serious and off the wall - sometimes within the framework of the same piece. Unique is one word to describe it. Brilliant is another."
Los Angeles Times
"Joe Frank's often bizarre scenarios for the mind are decidedly offbeat radio fare...part surreal satire, part bizarre meditation, part fever dream."
Los Angeles Daily News
"The world of Joe Frank is a wildly entertaining surrealistic universe...hilarious, unsettling, zany, powerful, moving and perhaps the most unique, inventive and effective use of radio since Orson Welles convinced much of America there was a War of the Worlds."
The L.A. Weekly
"Joe Frank is an original whose work has helped form some of the most eccentric, dark and interesting parts of public radio's personality. "
Terry Gross, Fresh Air
"Although commonly categorized as radio drama, Frank's work bears very little resemblance to the stagy artifice of plays performed over air. Frank wanders deeply into the unconscious, producing Dionysian stories with a fairy-tale intensity whose effect is often funny, disturbing and deeply memorable."
"The perfect Joe Frank experience is driving down an unfamiliar highway alone at night. You turn on your radio and are greeted by a lush, resonant voice that lulls you into a seemingly simple tale of love: a man at an airport saying goodbye to his wife over the phone, which abruptly turns into a vision of betrayal, alienation and death - often from obscure disease - all brought about by some profound personal failing, which is redeemed at the last moment by a nearly transcendent moment of joy."
"To me, he's what radio is really for... his show makes me think he's getting to some great truth... so completely captivating and just unlike anything else."
David Sedaris, writer
"Frank [is] the apostle of radio noire... His free-form radio dramas... are sometimes moving, often funny, but always manage to confound the listeners' expectations. A maestro of verité, Frank exploits the power of radio..."
"You don't have to close your eyes to appreciate Joe Frank's dense audio universe cascading out of your radio. It helps, though, because there are so many layers - of sound, philosophy, of reality-coursing through his dramas... Come to think of it, after awhile, you won't want to close your eyes because in Frank's short stories for the radio, the tension and pathos are as enveloping as they are intriguing... "
The Washington Post
"Frank has created a series of dead-pan radio monologues so sharp and intelligent that during the quiet bits you can almost hear God taking notes."

How to arrange artificial flowers in a hanging basket
From small decorative baskets to blooming cascading flowers, you can design your own instantly while saving money. When it comes down to it, there's no right or wrong way to arrange your own flowers – what you think looks good and mimics your vision is good enough. Do you want a flowing, horizontal line of flowers or overflowing and falling flowers? Do you want a crowded aesthetic or something simple to complement another feature of your garden?
You can choose any flowers you like, just remember not to mix artificial and real flowers in the same hanging basket. Complementary colours can be a stylish choice, or a mixture of small, medium, and larger blooms. Artificial filler can be a nice addition for a pop of green. Start at the centre when arranging your artificial flowers and work outwards.
How long do artificial flowers and plants last outside?
How long your artificial hanging basket will last depends on where they are placed. While they are sturdy and made to resist the elements, if they are exposed to direct sunlight most of the time, they can fade.
Having UV, frost, and weather resilient artificial plants means they’ve been treated to specifically withstand the outside for longer. To top up when you notice general wear, you can apply a can of UV protection spray for an additional protective layer in the future.
Browse our full range of online artificial plant baskets or find even more choice with our solar hanging baskets collection.

Right to Repair is a no-brainer for business
It’s hard to find someone these days who hasn’t heard about Right to Repair. Right to repair is the concept that consumers should have the right to repair the products they own and also have access to repair information and replacement parts from manufacturers. Right to repair spans major industries, including phones, computers, agriculture equipment, medical devices, automotive, heavy-duty vehicles and more. For the automotive aftermarket, right to repair means that people would have the ability to maintain and fix their vehicles at the repair facility (both independent or dealer) of their choice (including their driveway), rather than having to rely solely on the manufacturer or authorized repair shops to do so. It also ensures that independent repair providers have the same access to repair information and parts as the manufacturers. Right to Repair isn’t a buzzword – it’s a global movement, that started with the automotive industry.
It’s your stuff, shouldn’t you be able to fix it?
No matter the object, there’s something inherent about ownership that means you can do with it as you please. With recent inflation and economic uncertainty, the ability to maintain and repair your car where it’s cost effective and convenient for you shouldn’t be in jeopardy. But for the second time, it is.
Five score and nineteen years ago
Ever since the automobile existed, so too, has the aftermarket to provide choice, convenience and affordability to drivers. With choice comes competition and after a Massachusetts state battle for the consumers right to choose where to repair their vehicles in 2012, the original equipment manufacturers signed a national memorandum of understanding (MOU) which agreed to “make the same service information and tools available to independent repair shops that they provide for their franchised dealers.”
This MOU has become the model for right to repair agreements across the U.S. for many of the industries mentioned above.
Fast forward to the battle of today and the original equipment manufacturers are pulling out all the stops across industries to monopolize that same repair and maintenance data which is now wirelessly generated and sent back to the dealer. From vicious TV commercials to backdoor lobbying and outright lies, they are doing everything they can to prevent drivers from exercising their basic rights over the second most expensive consumer purchase after a house: their vehicle.
This doesn’t just apply to sedans, pickups or SUVs. Right to repair is about keeping commercial vehicles on the road too – the same vehicles that deliver groceries to the store, the ambulances that transport us to the hospital and the buses we rely on for public transportation. All are part of an essential transportation ecosystem.
It’s not Monopoly money
American families need affordable options for repair. When Destinee Green’s 2013 BMW broke down last year, less than six months after she bought it, a dealership told her that she needed a replacement engine that would cost $19,000, nearly the same as the car’s price when she bought it. Unable to get to her job, 25-year-old Green started to miss shifts and got fired. She is now behind on payments on the still broken-down car, and the lender has threatened to repossess it (Wall Street Journal, April 2023). There are other options for drivers like Destinee to keep her car on the road, safer, longer—and this instance could have been avoided at a lower cost.
On average, consumers spend 36% more on repair at the dealership than at an independent service shop. Amid economic inflation and uncertainty, providing affordable repair for drivers is more important now than ever.
Drivers need convenient access to repair, too. In rural areas, access to a manufacturer-preferred facility such as a dealership can be upwards of two hours away for a working family. Now take that inconvenience and add it to the cost to tow a semi-truck that needs service while transporting vital goods. Thousands of dollars, fleet downtime, and delayed or spoiled goods because of lack of choice will inflict harm on our already fragile economy. Furthermore, drivers simply prefer using independent repair shops over dealerships by 2-to-1 due to their low cost and convenience once a vehicle is out of its warranty period.
When choice is lost
Drivers deserve the choice of where to maintain and repair their vehicles. If left with no choice on where to service, consumers will be forced to dealerships where costs are higher, taking an estimated $100 billion from consumers’ pockets. Drivers do take their vehicles to manufacturer-preferred facilities during the warranty period (0-5 years). If the aftermarket didn’t have access to maintain and repair vehicles in the 5-12 year age range (which is what most vehicles are on the road today), dealers would be flooded, unable to handle the capacity, resulting in weeks of waiting for a driver that just needs to get her kids to school that morning.
In the name of safety and sustainability
When vehicle owners are free to choose, innovative industries like the automotive aftermarket can keep the 292 million vehicles on the road safer, longer. Drivers are delaying maintenance on their vehicles at an alarming rate: 21.3% decided to put off repairs on their vehicles in 2021 due to factors such as cost and convenience (IMR Inc., 2023 Auto Care Factbook, page 77).
Keeping well-maintained cars on the road longer can reduce waste, conserve production energy, lower cost of materials, and increase recycling.
Without the right to repair, we’ll lose the ability to innovate and create new solutions that enhance safety and mobility. We’ll lose a fair playing field and the ability to compete and provide choice for the consumer – a basic right. Costs for repairs will skyrocket and hurt our local communities. Our businesses, and our livelihoods will be harmed.
So, tell me readers: why is this basic choice so hard to guarantee?
Right to repair is good business, for all parties involved.
With liberty and business for all,


The Thuringian Basin is a depression covering an area of about 2.700 km2. Geologically the basin is a more or less concentric scarpland comprising rocks of the Germanic Trias Group (Buntsandstein, Muschelkalk and Keuper). The older rocks are exposed along the outermost edge while younger rocks are found in the centre of the structure.
The Thuringian Basin is crossed by northwest-southeast trending fault zones. The Drei-Gleichen region is traversed by the so-called Eichenberg-Gotha-Saalfeld Fault Zone, which appears as a rift ("Wachsenburg Rift"). One interesting morphological aspect of this rift structure is the inversion of the landscape relief. This means that the inner, downfaulted part of the rift (called a graben) forms the current elevations in the landscape (Wachsenburg, 420 m above sea level). This relief inversion is caused by the extremely resistance of the Rätsandstein (Upper Keuper / Upper Triassic) to weathering. This rock protects the tops of the castle hills and the plateau of the Seeberg northwest of the group of castles.
The resistant sandstone caps of the hills are associated with another special feature. They have protected the very soft marl deposits under the sandstone from erosion. On the south-facing slopes of the castle hills, this sequence of marls ("Steinmergelkeuper“) forms the near barren slopes of the so-called Badlands. These are the most significant occurrences of this type of terrain in Germany and are protected geotopes and conservation areas.
The Thuringian Basin is a classic region for Triassic stratigraphy, especially of the Keuper (Upper Triassic). The 135 m thick "Steinmergelkeuper“ sequence is perfectly exposed. In the new formation classification of the Keuper (DSK 2005) this sequence is now defined as the "Arnstadt-Formation“. The type profile for this sequence, which is ubiquitous in the Central European Keuper Basin, is located in the badlands beneath castles Wachsenburg and Gleichen
The Arnstadt-Formation is around 215 million years old and contains some of the oldest saurians in Europe. The next years will see the continuation of a palaeontological excavation, which began in 2018.


Kit Harington has said that tonight’s episode of Game of Thrones contains the toughest thing he’s ever done on the show.
In one of the most cinematic moments in the HBO series so far, Jon Snow is involved in a huge battle with 400 extras and 50 stuntmen – a scene that proved seriously hard work for both Harington and his character.
“It was three to four weeks of shooting for a sequence that should add up to [more than] 20 minutes,” Harington said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “We shot less than a minute a day! It’s so CGI-heavy it’s unlike anything I’ve ever done on Thrones. I’ve always been proud of the way Thrones doesn’t go overboard with special effects, but in this sequence they had too. I think it’s going to be spectacular.”
“Every fight I would shoot three times,” Harington said. “First against a man in a [greenscreen-projectable suit], the second with man who’s not in a green suit, but has full-on makeup to look like a dead person, and the third time I would just fight [without an oppoent, striking open air]. It gave them the option of using whichever way looked the best. [The Battle of Castle Black in] episode 9 last year was the hardest thing I’ve done. This was twice as hard as that. It was exhausting.”
Harington added: “If this was a classic narrative, then this is the point in Game of Thrones where everything is at its darkest, where nothing seems like it can go right and all is lost – that’s the point where we’re at with episode 8.”
Swords and Dragonglass at the ready then, Jon Snow…

Mexican Drunken Turkey
- Ready In:
- 2hrs 15mins
- Defrost turkey.
- Remove giblets and wash with cold water inside and out.
- Pat dry.
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper and coriander inside and out.
- Tie the wings and drumsticks.
- (Ordinary sewing thread will work just fine) Peel the garlic cloves and crush.
- Mix the crushed garlic with the butter and the cognac.
- Rub this paste all over the turkey and return the turkey to the refrigerator to marinate for an hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Baste the turkey with the chicken broth and wine.
- Do it gently so you don’t rub off the garlic paste.
- Cover the turkey with aluminum foil and roast for about 90 minutes, basting frequently with wine and chicken broth.
- If your oven isn’t very accurate turn the pan a few times during baking.
- After about 90 minutes of cooking remove the aluminum foil cover.
- Sprinkle with paprika all over and raise the oven temperature to 500 degrees.
- Stop basting.
- This will allow the turkey skin to brown and crisp.
- Continue cooking until the skin is crisp and not watery or greasy.
- Flip the turkey so it crisps on the other side as well.
- If you are butchering your own turkey feed it two glasses of wine or cognac the day before.
- It really does make a difference in the cooked flavor.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Hi everyone! I'm addicted to recipezaar - there are so many things that I love about this site; the wonderful people, recipes, lots of great pictures and there's always someone who'll answer my cooking/baking/general question. I grew up in Malaysia, but now live in sunny Singapore. Both are beautiful tropical (read: HOT!) countries in Southeast Asia. There are so many good food here, especially ethnic stuff like spicy Malaysian curries (which will clear the worst blocked nose), flaky & crispy Indian roti paratha/canai, homey Chinese stir-fries, rich & decadent Asian desserts like kuih lapis (Malay many-layers cake), pineapple tarts, crumbly peanut cookies etc. <img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v632/zaarfreak/REI/12may05REI2_S.jpg" alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com">


Yee haw, Gwyneth Paltrow is going country. She's starring as a fallen country music singer in a new movie titled Country Strong and has released a new song by the same name.
I have a hard time picturing the city-chic queen of GOOP gettin' down and convincingly playing a country girl. She's a good actress, but Pilates and macrobiotic diets are a long way from honky tonks and hillbillies.
As for the song, which was released today, see what you think ...
Videos of her performance that were posted earlier today on the web have been removed, but you can at least hear Gwyneth croon here.
I've got to give it up for her; she's good. Though I'm often a little embarrassed to admit it, I actually like country music. Blame it on my Nebraska roots, but I do -- and I like this.
Lest you've forgotten her previous singing experience, here's a clip from when she sang with Huey Lewis in the 2000 movie Duets.
I'd say she's gotten better.
So what do y'all think -- do you like Gwyneth Paltrow's new song? Do you think she'll be believable as a country girl?

Train To Busan Horror House
Award winning movie Train to Busan, came to life the night it was launched in Skytropolis Genting Highlands with presence of Roger Ong, Assistant Vice President of Entertainment & Events from Resorts World Genting together with Jzune Wong, Business Development Manager from AirAsia and Jed Mok, Chief Executive Officer of VividThree to present the best of horror in a horror house adventure. The first-of-its-kind in the world, the Horror House launches on 31 October 2019 with zombies and walking dead terrorizing the media launch.
Based on the blockbuster 2016 South Korean zombie apocalypse movie -Train to Busan, Resorts World Genting has got the entire railway line of horror for the whole of two months, offering a unique blend of horrific thrills and scary fun to fans of the movie and fans of horror in general. Fan of the movie would really enjoy the set up of scenes from the movie as well as superb acts of the zombies. The talents were completely convincing to have visitors absolutely immersing into apocalypse, one would appreciate the fluent Korean and the amazing prosthetic makeup.
According to the release from Resorts World Genting, Train To Busan is one of the highest-grossing Korean films ever. In Malaysia, it has grossed over RM21 million and still ranks as the top Korean film of all time in the market. So, local and global audiences will be familiar with the story of a father and daughter attempting to survive among a zombie outbreak – which has been described as ‘a thrillingly unique and pure entertaining take on the zombie genre’ with ‘plenty of social commentary… and skilfully staged action.’
The entrance gets visitors to experience several sections of interactive activities, starting from Seoul station, to an apocalyptic version of the gigantic train station, fending off zombies and traps as they battle through environments such as the Long Corridor, the Toilet, the Supermarket, the Café and the Mirror Maze to reach their goal: the train that will take them away from this hellish nightmare. And moving to an actual train to Busan with Train Platform and Passenger Train Carriage, through the Chemical Cargo Train and CDC Lab, to safety, before a good VR experience with amours and guns to the quarantine areas from invading zombies – just like the finale of the movie – or fighting against time to develop a cure from the ravaging virus.
Should anyone survive the experience, there is a lovely retail street with super cute Korean vendors selling popular Korean snacks.
Check out footages of the launch on my weekly Youtube vlog:
Take note the Horror House will be open from Friday to Sunday between 1 November to 1 December 2019, and daily from 2 December 2019 to 1 January 2020. Tickets are priced at RM90 for regular admission (RM80 for Genting Rewards Club members).

As the war wore on it became clear the Belgians needed new aircraft
Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter. Belgium was in dire need of some more modern planes, and received "spare" Strutters from both England and France. This is one of the English sourced ones which were 2 seaters, the French supplied versions (licence built) tended to be single seaters with the weight saved allocated to bombs. The pics of the original show the RFC roundel was hastily overpainted and I have tried for that effect here. Yet another Shapeways model.
Next the RE8. This is an "official" Wings of War model, and the cause of much heartache. The RE8 was supplied to Belgium by Britain as a replacement for the ageing collection of F40s, GIVs etc. The RE8 was at best an obsolete design when it entered British service, by the time it arrived in Belgian hands it had a reputation as an easy kill. The reasons are pretty simple. The British "Higher Ups" thought that an airplane should be stable and easy to fly so that the crew could get on with the important stuff like leaning over the side taking photographs. They built the RE series to do just that, and ended up with slow flying planes that could not evade any enemy that came looking for them. Even worse the RE8 turned out to be flimsy and a bit of a handful to fly, being prone to stalls and badly balanced so that there was a warning on the side that said something like "It is dangerous to try to take off WITHOUT an observer or counterweight in the rear cockpit". The Belgians did try and fix this by replacing the engine with a more powerful Hispano-Suiza. This helped boost speed a bit, and made them far less dangerous to fly. The problem is that Wings of War produced the RE8 in Belgian colours they decided that rather than remodelling the front end with teh Hispano engine they would leave it the same as the RFC version, but remove the prominent exhaust stacks. This leaves the model as a bit of a deadloss - if they had left the stacks you could still use it as an unmodified RE8, but as it is it looks nothing like the Hispano engined Belgian RE8 and also looks wrong as an original. Oh Well.
Luckily Shapeways do an Hispano engined RE8 so I'm hoping to pick one up to show as a comparison.
Next - Fighters!

The San Francisco Bay Area rockers known as The VRBs were born when two members of Audiobender joined with the drummer from Weapon Eleven to form "a whole new sound of contemporary rock with a distinctly '90s feel." Their new release is a double album simply titled The VRBs, but it combines two separate collections titled The White Album and The Black Album. You can download them separately or together on Bandcamp.
The band members are Jared Richard (guitars/vocals), Paul Cingolani (bass), and Jeff Ham (percussion). While not mentioning any specific influences, they describe their songs as "melding powerful vocals, guitar-driven power pop, and neo-grunge." All songs were written by guitarist Richard, with arrangements by the group. Recording took place at Reeds Recordings in Campbell, California. This double set features 15 tracks, so I'll be talking about my favorites.
Having heard the album through, I can tell you it's alternative rock very much in the vein of Pearl Jam's Vs./Vitalogy era, with Jared Richard's lead vocals showing traces of Eddie Vedder, Ozzy Osbourne, and even David Lee Roth. He has that classic rock voice that hits most of the notes and cuts through the buzzing guitars like a hot knife through an ice cream cake.
"Take Me Home" starts the set with descending hardcore guitar riffs that slowly give way to roiling drums and locked-in bass riffing. When these guys mentioned guitar-driven power pop, they weren't kidding! The guitars, bass, and drums are locked in like a Swiss watch, squeezing every bit of juice from each chord. These are not those cheating two-note "power chords" guitarists use to sound heavy (though that's coming soon) but full, across-the-neck voicings that ring and wail. Awesome rock solo too!
"Say Hello" has a good helping of The Killers and The Strokes energy. Based on a fairly simple blues structure, Richard overdubs himself in a higher register for the relentless, unavoidable choruses. I love how the guitars seem to come back alive toward the end, one joining in after the other until the barrage is complete. "New Drug" puts us on a war footing with pounding toms à la "52 Girls" (B-52's) and slashing chunks of guitar that stop and start on a dime. The choruses dare to recall the glory of The Sweet or The Knack. The topic isn't new (paging Huey Lewis), but that barely matters! "Paper Claims" again mirrors classic Van Halen and Roth.
"Without You" is based on a skeletal descending riff on bass and then guitars, joined by sweet, heartfelt harmonies for a surprising trip back to late '60s power pop. The choruses sound like a great lost single by a one-hit-wonder band. "Scream for Me" spreads the musical diversity into disco for a danceable, funky romp heavily dependent on spicy 7th chords. Disc One ends with yet another surprising detour into waltz time with "Under the Sea," which has the lush, pop sheen of a teen dance closing song. Halfway through, the volume kicks up, and we're back to classic alternative rock. A perfect "intermission" track!
"Gravity" opens part two with an ominous rumbling, followed by "emergency alarm" fuzz guitars and wailing leads. Right away, the boys feel more serious, heavier, and not willing to mess around: when they sing "gravity," it sounds like a threat! "Closer" features a fuzzed-out bass and slashing guitar chords atop a marching John Fogerty-style riff.
This one takes its time getting funky and provides lots of "air" between guitar chords, while the vocals seem to insinuate many amorous adventures ahead. "Hog" is dominated by phase-shifted guitar surrounding dark, Sabbath-like vocals: "Our friends are what you might call strange / They lack moral fiber."
"Do You Remember" is another minor-key tune that starts like a ballad but blasts in with guitar choruses so nasty they should be illegal, along with super intense vocals by Mr. Richard. A late favorite! If anything, "Blow It Up" ups the blazing guitar ante even further, with Richard displaying the trademark sneer of Quay Lewd. It's almost like the guys can't wait to hit the finish line and just keep playing faster to get there.
"Run" moves into yet another genre, Tex Mex. Shimmery desert guitars and pickaxe drums play a tune that could be the soundtrack of a Sergio Leone potboiler, with Richards singing like a cowboy wracked with regrets. The unrelenting chorus chants of "cry!" are especially powerful. "Down the Mountain" is a nine-minute epic that ends the second album with a more introspective vibe, with Richard in Eddie Vedder mode (I can almost see his eyeballs fluttering!). The guitars quiet down significantly, giving the drums and bass a lot more spotlight. The middle section has a sweet, pared-down dialogue between (clean) lead guitar and drums that sound different from everything that's come before. The final section could be a different song entirely but still fits perfectly.
This is an especially lengthy album, but amazingly there's very little repetition and tons of variety within its basic framework. The songs are all top-tier with some real gems throughout. Great work!

Square-jawed country singer Sam Hunt will lead off the Atlantic City beach concert series this summer.
Hunt, a Georgia native and former college football quarterback who broke out big by blending hip-hop and R&B into his Nashville sound more skillfully than most on his 2014 debut Montevallo, is playing AC on July 1.
The "Body Like a Back Road" singer sold out the BB&T Pavilion in Camden last summer, and he's headlining his own Nashville Music Festival in Music City in April, as well as touring touring stadiums this summer with Luke Bryan. Kane Brown and Conner Smith open up for him on the beach.
Tickets go on sale via Ticketmaster at 10 a.m. this Friday March 2. Hunt is not to be confused with the North Carolina State basketball player of the same name who was trending on Twitter this weekend. Additional ticket info is at ACBeachConcerts.com. No word yet on how many concerts in total will be included in the beach series this summer, which is in its fifth year, and included a headlining date by Philly-bred popstar Pink in 2017.
