Meat Loaf — Everything Louder Tour
I’m glad to see you here tonight! First thing I want you to know is that I consider it an honor that you are here.
What we have next is total free association thinking.
What do I hope to be remembered for?Making a difference.
How about a day in the life?First wake up about 11:30 a.m., order 2 poached eggs, coffee and toast. Think about baseball, in fact 2 things are always on my mind, the show and baseball. I play "Baseball Manager" on the Prodigy Network. In the past, I’ve run as many as 12 different teams but this year only 5 and they all suck, lack of time. Netx, about 3:30 we arrive at the venue and start getting ready for the show. Dinner happens about 4:30 and then sound check.
What do you do at sound check? Check the sound, no just kidding! The band starts first, John will bang on his drums, one at a time, it is very boring. Then steve plays bass, then John and Steve play together, well, you get the picture. I hate this part so I don’t come on stage till the banging and booming is over. When I do come on, I always play "Took the Words" first to check my monitors and for George, the front of house sound man, to work on the backgound vocal blend. Then we play "Out of the Frying Pan" then we will just play whatever or work on new ideas for the show, which I must confess happen every day. I’m always trying new ideas, sometimes they work, and some times they are just stupid! If the idea doesn’t work Pat will feel uncool, I think sometimes I embarrass him, although he will say I don’t, I think? After the show we will have a good laugh. Then I will tell the band
Don’t ever let me do that again!!! They say
don’t worry we won’t. After the sound check, I’m off to meet a few people at what is called a "Meet and Greet." I see people from the record company, from radio stations, record stores, record distributors, but my favorite people are the contest winners. Sometimes the contest winners have done crazy things, like the woman who jumped into a lake in the middle of January (in Canada) for a pair of tickets. What! Is she nuts!!! Once the "Meet and Greet" is over and I start "the process" of trying to warm up my voice, stretching and mixing my crazy drinks. Yea, I have some crazy drinks, energy powder and vitamin B drink. The best one, though is a mixture of fresh garlic, raw ginger, lemon and honey. I tried to get Kasim to try it once, I thought he was going to pass out. The drink smells terrible but the taste is pretty good. I then walk around back stage, thinking about the show, still trying to change things and looking for the band. I don’t know where they go but the only one I can ever find is Steve. When I find him he is always shaving, I think he must shave 4 to 5 times a day. Now we’re getting close, J.T. the stage manager comes and tells me I got half an hour. The next 30 minutes goes by like the entire world moved their clocks ahead 25 minutes as a joke on me. Now J.T. comes and says 5 minutes, OK, now I’m frantic not nervous, just frantic. The nervous part will come in a few minutes, I’m not ready but you’re waiting and I’ve got to go. It’s down to the band room for "The Kill"!
What’s "The Kill"? I’m glad you asked. For over 8 years we have had a ritual that we do as a band before very performance (TV included). New thought, I hate TV, I always suck on TV. It’s the only time I ever get stage fright. I feel like there are a hundred people with their hands around my throat. Patti on the other hand, is so calm I think she’s gonna take a nap. OK! Back to the show.
It’s time for "The Kill" and Mark will lead as always.
What are we going to do?
What do we need to do?
What do we always do?
What do big dogs do?
Now don’t ask me what it all means. I don’t have a clue but we all laugh, get pumped and it brings us togther before we go on. What I love about everybody in the band and the crew is we all really care about the show, not about dinner afterwards or whatever. OK! The lights have just gone out and The Beatles are on the sound system. We’re 4 minutes away! Time flys, I’m on stage right now and I’m nervous, not like you think, I want the show to be perfect adn you to have the best, that’s what I’m nervous about. Well Pat just started "Frying Pan", I’m 24 bars away from the stage!
It’s show time! So from my partner Jim Stienman [sic] who is somewhere in Upstate New York, Steve, John, Mark, Pat, Kasim, Patty and myself…may you all have a freat night, God bless you all aand keep you safe.
One more thing!!!
Never Stop Rocking
How did you name come about, did you invent it yourself? M: No, no, kids invented it. They just called me that, they’ve been calling me that my whole life. My dad called me Meat, my mom wouldn’t call me that, my aunts do, my wife does. Meat, it’s my name and it’s not weird. I mean, everyone knows someone named Bill.
Well, what’s bill? It’s the front of a duck. Nobody thinks… when you say the word bill, nobody immediatley thinks of the front of a duck. So why if you say Meat, shouldn’t it just be like any other name? Why couldn’t it just be Tom, Meat, Bill, Hank and Harry? I mean it works for me and backwards it spells taem. I guess Loaf is the weird part of it, but it’s not any different than Richardson, because Richardson is like Scandinavian for son of Richard. So it’s not that weird, people want to make more of it than it really is and once you are around me for a little while, it just seems normal.
So you’ve been touring almost constantly for quite a few years now… M: Since ‘85 until we started to do this record. Well, we still toured even after we started making the record. Because Jim wanted a break, and so I just went out and played.
You see, I’m about the work. When I do a film, it’s about the work, it’s not about being a film star. I do a record, it’s about the work. It’s about creating the characters and creating that world and the adventure that goes with that. What draws me back into it is wanting to make something that’s really good. If I wanted to go make soup, as long as it was really good that would draw me into it—if it was about the work and if I could do soup creatively, you know?
The thing is, you have to ignore the hype. I mean, people call me up and go
Man, Bat Out Of Hell just got voted number 3 record in everybody’s household in the entire world. And I say:
Oh that’s nice. People expect me to jump up and down but I don’t because that’s not about the work anymore. The work is finished, so for me that kind of news is good, it’s great, you know, but they expect me to be real impressed and I am, but it’s not the main thing. I’m glad people enjoy it and I’m not unimpressed and it’s interesting that it sold over 25 million and that’s good.
Obviously people enjoyed it. It’s changed peoples lives, they’ve played it at weddings, they’ve even played it at funerals. A whole new generation of kids, kids that are my daughter’s age, that are 18, are getting into it and that’s pretty impressive to me. That’s impressive, not that it’s the third biggest selling album of all time, but the fact that every place my daughter goes to, to one of her parties or to a prom, they’re always playing something from Bat Out Of Hell. That’s pretty wild.
Putting this album together involved working again with Jim Steinman, who you hadn’t worked with since the first Bat Out Of Hell. What was that like for you? M: Well, we started this as an idea in ‘86. I was on Virgin for 3 years and nobody even knew I was on the label. We actually signed to Virgin in 1989 when the project was just starting. And Jim and I had been doing different things for a while. It was like two cars driving down a highway and one person was following the other person and they got separated. One of them was no longer following the other but we knew the direction we were going in and we knew we both had to get to Philadelphia! So eventually, we both did get to Philadelphia and we met up where we were supposed to meet up. I stopped at a truck stop to get gas and he kept going, he didn’t need as much gas as I did at the time and we eventually caught back up with each other in about ‘86 or ‘87.
Jim and I think alike when he writes a song, he creates a world where the song lives in. And it’s a very theatrical world, but it’s also a real world which really exists. And when I sing a song, no matter what song it is, I generally do that too. Jim’s songs create a much more visual world than many other people. You take a Jim Steinman song; when he writes it, what takes him so long to write it, is that he has to create this whole world and this whole world has to surround him. He has to be involved with it and it takes a long time to pull that world together for him. Then it takes a long time for me to pull that world together too, not as long as it takes him to write it, but it takes me a long time to pull that world in around me and [they] are different worlds, too. They project themselves differently. You project a different world when you’re doing a vocal in a studio than you do when you live the work. So right now, we’re rehearsing for the live shows and you have to find this live world because then you gotta bring a whole audience into it.
You see, I don’t sing the same way other people sing, because they either sing to you or they sing eternally about themselves. I don’t want you to understand what I’m feeling. I want you to understand what you’re feeling.
You become an audience and you watch the story, you watch the feeling unveil and it’s like you take on this new record into your own experience. Take for example, from the new album the track "Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are." Now, you may not have had an alcoholic father who hit you, but hopefully what you do is that you get an emotional feeling from that for you. It may conjure up the same kind of emotional feeling that that particular character is having but about another particular incident in you life.
It’s like when Elvis Presley sang "Jailhouse Rock," he wasn’t singing from an internal situation or he wasn’t singing to you to do this. He was telling you this story, and you became part of that world. "Stairway To Heaven,"—Robert Plant did the same thing there Joplin did on "Ball and Chain." I’m very conscious of the fact and it’s very deliberate how I do these things, and I’m very conscious of the fact of creating these characters and creating these worlds and so is Jim and that’s why the team works so well.
So when you’re working with Jim, do you spend a lot of time together. Do you have a routine? M: nah, no… He’s… He’s in a different time zone than I am! I work in the day. He works at night. So what we have to do, we sort of compromise. He comes in for half my day and I deal with half his night. And then I get tired and go away and then he gets tired… he can’t get up to come to my world. So like that’s how that works. But basically a lot of time we like the same movies, we like the same roles. But it’s lots of different things, agreements on little stage pieces and agreements on this and that. Just different little things that we agree on. But we’re not exactly the same though. I’m very impulsive and I want to go with the first thought and he’s not like that. To me, making this record took a long time and for him there wasn’t enough time. We control each other, though in that he slows me down and I speed him up, which is good.
So listening to the album, it has got [an] incredible orchestral scale to it… M: Well, that’s waht we do. The greatest thing anybody could say about it is that it’s rock and roll and that it’s self indulgent, bombastic and completely over the top. I mean, we’re not the Travelling Wilberries for Christ’s sakes, you know, give me a break here. Nothing personal against the Travelling Wilberries but they’re them and I’m me!
But you know the humor running through it is great! Rock and roll is funny. It’s supposed to have a sense of humor. It’s supposed to and people forget that. People forgot that, you know "Heartbreak Hotel" is funny. I mean you listen to…
Since my baby left me, I found a new place to dwell. Just the word "dwell" is funny.
You know, the last thing that I ever want to be in my entire life is hip. Do not, don’t call me hip, if you call me hip, then I’m insulted. That’s not what I want to be.
Bat Out Of Hell II sits in no one time frame. If we go back in time to when Henry the Eighth was writing Greensleeves and if we had the ability to to play Bat Out Of Hell II to the toiling serfs and the noble courtiers without half scaring them to death, they would understand it. They would get the idea. If they could just accept the fact that this amazing sound was coming out of this weird thing called a ghettoblaster and these speakers, sort of like Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, then they would understand it. They would know about the emotions that all these songs are talking about. If a cavewoman hits her caveman over the head with her stone cudgel and tells him
sooner or later you’ll start screwing around then that’s the same emotion through all the ages, right!
Even in a stone-age cave it would go to the max, if you decided I’m going to escape all of life’s pressures and you go off into the mountains in Colorado, you’re going to run into a a massive snow storm and be cut off from the world and you’re going to be on the verge of life and death. That’s what this album is about, it’s in your face. It’s about power, hurricanes, storms and raw nature. It’s there and you gotta deal with it. You know, you can’t run away from life, no matter how hard you want. Oh yeah, you can run from being a marketing guy and the stress of, you know, having this color be wrong, but you can’t run away from the emotions. You can’t run away from fear of a bear.
And the record’s full of images, like when the girl comes in on "I’d Do Anything For Love, But I Won’t Do That." You create your image of that girl, what she’s wearing, who she looks like, where is she standing, what she’s doing. The minute that sound comes on, you know you’ve gone somewhere and it’s a different place for each of us.
So, I’m going to give you my picture. I’m in this foggy like place. I don’t know what I am, and teher’s like breath, there’s this hot air and I’m asking,
Where am I? and all of a sudden the fog starts clearing, there’s this haze, then all of a sudden I’m in this place and pretty soon I end up in this room that is totally white and there are doors everywhere, just endless amounts of doors and behind every door there’s a choice but I’m always at the same door. But just as I tried to open the door the girl comes in, she opens the door. And she’s been in an identical room down at the opposite end of the hall, only she was in a room that was all dark.
So do you think a lot about your audience before you do your live shows? M: Well, yeah, you know audiences are so smart. Like when you go see a band and the band ends and they go off and people stand up and yell for an encore, right? And the crowd is really yelling and then the band comes out and the band thinks they’ve been really great? In some instances they really are great, but when the audience keeps doing it over, and over again and the band keeps coming back out, the reason is the audience hasn’t been fulfilled. They haven’t been entertained, and they’re sitting there and they’re like looking at each other and they’re going,
Is that it? We want more and it’s not because the band is great, it’s because we the audience need more. We came for something and we’re not getting it and we need it! Meanwhile the band is getting this enormous ego! They think they’re brilliant when they really suck! And the band will go,
Yeah, man, we got seven encores last night. But you know they might ask why they got seven encores and think the answer is because,
They loved us! But the audience didn’t love them, they were awful and they just needed to release that energy to say so! Now when an audience leaves my show, they just crawl out! They have no energy left! They have nothing, there’s nothing left of them. I’ve drained them to an empty shell! And it’s like that’s my favorite thing. I mean that’s my job.
There’s not a minute that I don’t think of on that stage. Not one minute for the two hours that is not thought through even though it may also be a total improvisation. The band has to watch me, they can work for me for 500 shows and still not know what I’m going to do next. They have to watch me the whole night or they’re going to hung out to dry.
Between 1976 and 1986, Kasim Sulton co-wrote and produced nine Utopia albums. He was the sole composer and vocalist on their only Top 30 single, "Set Me Free," from the album Adventures in Utopia. His compositions and distinctive voice were increasingly featured throughout Utopia’s albums and live performances.
Sulton’s first solo album, Kasim, was released on EMI in 1982. A succesful solo tour on the east and west coast followed.
In 1987 Sulton released Lights On, a collaborative album with drummer Thommy Price, on CBS Associated Records. Two videos were produced to accompany the LP; one of which was featured in the movie, The Allnighter.
As a session bassist and singer, Sulton has performed on numerous albums, most notably Meat Loaf’s Bat Out Of Hell, Rick Derringer’s Guitars And Women, and Patti Smith’s Dream of Life. Sulton has appeared on albums by Jim Steinman, Tom Robinson, The Indigo Girls, Steve Stevens, Ronnie Spector, Johnny Hates Jazz, Shawn Cassidy, Steve Hillage and the Roadie soundtrack.
After Utopia’s final album, Trivia (1986), Sulton briefly played with Cheap Trick before joining Patty Smyth on her world tour. He can be seen in her video for Downtown Train.
In 1988 Sulton hooked up with Joan Jett, touring the world with the Blackhearts. He has sung and played bass on three of Jett’s LP’s including the platinum selling Up Your Alley. He appears in six videos including the Grammy nominated I Hate Myself For Loving You.
Most recently, Sulton began touring with Hall & Oates, playing the upright bass for the Unplugged tour. This critically acclaimed tour received worldwide network and cable television coverage.
Guitarist Pat Thrall has long been known for his versatility and his track record reflects this.
In the late 70’s Pat recorded with Steve Winwood and with his own band Automatic Man which in 1991 was voted of the Best 20 Albums of All Time by the Los Angeles Times. That was followed with three albums with the Pat Travers’ Band, including the hit single "Boom, Boom (Out Go The Lights)." Pat was then vited "Best New Guitarist" by the readers of Guitar Player Magazine.
Thrall teamed up with ex-Deep Purple bass player and singer Glenn Hughes and in 1982 released "Hughes/Thrall" on Epic Records. Its influence is hailed by bands such as Whitesnake and guitarist Gary Moore.
The rest of the 80’s found Thrall playing with, among others, artists Sly & Robbie, Jack Bruce, and Little Steven. In 1987 he wrote, produced and performed on the soundtrack to the film Dragnet ‘87, including a video with Dan Akroyd and Tom Hanks.
In 1989 Thrall preformed on Tina Turner’s multi-platinum "Foreign Affair," including the signature guitar riff on the top ten single "The Best." The folling three years he toured and recorded with Meat Loaf, Asia (Asia—Live in Moscow), and Curtis Stigers (Curtis Stigers). He also performed on the soundtracks to the films The Bodyguard with Curtis Stigers and Home Alone II with Little Steven and members of the E Street Band. This year marks the return of Pat to Meat Loaf’s Neverland Express both on Bat Out Of Hell II and the World Tour.
Before joining Meat Loaf, John toured with Blue Oyster Cult on their 20th Anniversary 1990 National Tour, and with Marchello, on their 1989-90 National Debut Tour.
As the first band ever to record a video at MTV Studios, Marchello’s "First Love" premiered on Headbanger’s Ball and went on to reach No. 7 on Dail-MTV. Their debut album, "Destiny" (CBS Associated) was hailed by Rock Magazine as a
definite winner, strongly supported by the efforts of John Miceli on drums.
Touted by New York Newsday as one of rock’s hardest hitting drummers, John’s musical accomplishments have been recognized by the industry with endorsements for Zildjian Cymbals, Tama Drums, and Vic Firth drumsticks.
John was also featured in an international print ad campaign for SONY cassette tapes, which appeared in Rolling Stone, People, Spin, Circus and US Magazine. When he’s not touring, John teaches at the Long Island Drum Center, and has published two drum instruction books featuring his unique double-bass style, Lead Switch and Sticking In The Foot.
After receiving his degree in classical piano from Syracuse University, he moved to New York City and quickly established himself with artists as diverse as Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul, Joe Cocker, Melissa Morgan and Nona Hendrix. Before joining the Neverland Express, Mark toured with Curtis Stigers on his highly successful debut tour, performing extensively throughout Europe and the United States.
Mark’s keyboard work is also featured in several film soundtracks, including the remake of Nick Lowe’s recording of "Peace, Love and Understanding" which he recorded with Curtis for Whitney Houston’s multi-platinum album, "The Bodyguard." In addition, he recorded with Darlene Love and the E Street Band on "Nobody Wants to Be Alone on Christmas," the featured song for the box office hit "Home Alone II."
The Village Voice ad said only,
Internationally known singer looking for backup singer with an open mind. That was in June of ‘93 when Patti Russo was a hairdresser by day, club singer by night. Who would’ve believed one month later she’d be singing in front of 40,000 people in Newfoundland as a backup singer for Meat Loaf, whose current album is racking up sales of over ten million. Sounds like a fairytale come true? Well that’s how it happened for this 29 year old singer.
I can’t remember not wanting to sing. She wrote hire first song at nine years of age and she would be bopping around the house with a candle for a microphone. It wasn’t long before she started sneaking into local rock clubs where one of the groups got her up on the stage and as she puts it,
I found my love. She joined her first band at age 15, singing for around $20 per gig. After graduating from an upstate New York high school, she set out to persue her dream. (One that didn’t come with a handbook!)
She tried everything. She sang with metal bands, rock bands, orchestras, and wedding bands. She even tried ger luck at doing cabaret clubs, complete with joke telling and impersonations. She earned extra money doing demos in just about every music style imaginable.
It didn’t matter if it was a kid’s song or an ethnic song; as long as I was singing.
She had some minor success doing jingles, but not enough to quit her day job. She had recently appeared on a Dick Clark special which aired nationally on ABC-TV by the time the audition for Meat Loaf appeared in the paper. Within a week of her audition, she was preparing for a world tour and singing the monster hit, "I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That)."
As a songwriter, Russo had co-written and performed on a solo project which was released in Japan to critical acclaim. She’s also been fortunate enough to have worked with the likes of Nile Rodger and Dick Clark Productions.
God has blessed me with an opportunity I used to only dream about. I am working with a great group of people that feels like family to me. Thanks, Meat!!!!!
Steve Buslowe was one of those American kids who saw the Beatles and the Rolling Stones on the "Ed Sullivan Show" and felt the earth move. He picked up a bass guitar and, after long nights of practising in mom’s basement, his band had their first number one local hit when he was age 16.
From there he played with famous local bands, including one whose lead singer was an equally young Michael Bolton. He finally decided that there were enough mathematicians in this world and after graduating college he concentrated on his bass playing.
He joined Meat Loaf when the first touring band was formed in 1977 and became musical director in 1988.
In addition to 16 years of touring worldwide with Meat, he has performed with such artists as Bonnie Tyler and Flo & Eddie. As a New York session player, Steve’s studio credits include number one hits with Bonnie Tyler and Air Supply, and recordings with Barbra Streisand, Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes, Paul Stanley (of KISS) and Blackjack (Michael Bolton), among others. He has also played on commercials and soundtracks, such as Streets of Fire.
Steve can be heard on most Meat Loaf albums since Dead Ringer, including Midnight at the Lost and Found, Live at Wembl[e]y, Hits Out of Hell and, of course, Bat Out of Hell II—Back into Hell. He also played on Jim Steinman’s solo albums, Bad for Good and Pandora’s Box.
On the rare occasions when he can be found without a bass guitar around his neck, Steve is usually in his garden, trying to persuade his four dogs not to dig up the plants.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has recently kept busy with diplomatic visits to neighboring countries. On May 23, he arrived in Islamabad, his third trip to Pakistan since Prime Minister Imran Khan took office in August 2018, and held talks with Khan, army chief Qamar Bajwa, Speaker Asad Qaisar and his counterpart, Shah Mehmood Qureshi. Few details of the meetings were shared with the media, except for comments underscoring their focus on reducing tensions in the region and on connecting the Iranian port of Chabahar and the Pakistani port of Gwadar.
The fate of Chabahar has important consequences for relations between Iran and India, Pakistan's archrival. The port has been a focal point and pillar of an emerging partnership between Tehran and New Delhi over the past decade or so and is the only territorial facility that the Iranian government has been willing to lease to a foreign state. For India, Chabahar is vital to its strategies toward West Asia, Afghanistan and Central Asia. So far, India has notably managed to persuade the Donald Trump administration to exempt its presence there from sanctions. Yet, Iran is now talking about connecting Chabahar and the rival Chinese-Pakistani route, that is, Gwadar and the multi-billion-dollar China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

The PhosphorusOne test uses next-generation sequencing to analyze 375 genes covering 170 inherited conditions and 175 different drug reactions.
The kit is approved for the qualitative detection of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in patients with different cancer types including breast cancer.
The test is for monitoring treatment response in chronic myeloid leukemia and uses a new Droplet Digital PCR instrument.
The assay, which uses the Bioneer ExiStation molecular diagnostics instrument, was also recently registered for purchase by the Global Fund.
The assay is designed to detect ribosomal RNA from four clinically relevant Babesia species and runs on the company's Procleix Panther system.
The test uses multiplex PCR fragment analysis with Promega-designed five-mononucleotide repeat markers to detect the MSI-high phenotype within tumor tissues.
Qiagen's test detects the most frequently occurring somatic mutations in EGFR in less than four hours using real-time PCR on the Rotor-Gene Q platform.
The tests are designed to detect genetic variations including SNPs, insertion-deletions, copy number variations, and variations in segmental duplications.
The long-running Framingham Heart Study has received a $38 million grant, according to the Boston Globe.

Nairobi, Kenya While the world focuses on the crisis in Darfur, three times as many people have been suffering for many more years in two other conflicts involving the Sudanese government.
And, while money has flowed in to help the 2 million people in Sudan's Darfur region who have been caught in 18 months of civil war, few funds are available for the 6 million Sudanese and Ugandans affected by related conflicts that have lasted more than 18 years.
"The magnitude of these other problems has been lost a bit because of the intensity of Darfur," said Dennis McNamara, the top U.N. official dealing with people displaced within their own country by war.
"You've got to deal comprehensively and even regionally if you want to stabilize these situations," he told a small group of foreign journalists Friday.
McNamara recently returned from a trip to northern Uganda, where more than 1.6 million people have fled their homes because of an 18-year-old civil war between government forces and the rebel Lord's Resistance Army.
The rebels, operating from bases in the southern region of neighboring Sudan, rarely try to hold territory in Uganda and concentrate their attacks on civilians. The group has abducted more than 30,000 women and children to use as servants, concubines and child soldiers, according to UNICEF.
As a result, more than 90 percent of the population in northern Uganda has taken shelter in 180 refugee camps.
"We're very concerned about (northern Uganda) being neglected. It's been very hard to maintain international attention, and donors haven't funded it adequately," McNamara said.
Only 43 percent of what is needed to meet the minimum humanitarian needs in northern Uganda has been donated, he added.
In the 1980s and 1990s, the Ugandan government supported the southern-based Sudan People's Liberation Army in its battle with the Sudanese government in Khartoum. Sudan's government, in return, backed the Lord's Resistance Army, a cult-like group that has little contact with the outside world.
Sudan and Uganda normalized relations in 2001 -- and Ugandan troops have been allowed to operate in some parts of southern Sudan -- but reports persist of senior Sudanese officials protecting Joseph Kony, the Ugandan rebel leader, as recently as last month.
Most observers agree that until Kony, who claims to be the messiah, surrenders, dies or is captured, the war in Uganda will continue.
While diplomats have focused on ending the fighting in Darfur in western Sudan, little is being said about the wars in northern Uganda and southern Sudan, McNamara said.
"We can't be politically selective if we want to have a solution when the causes are inter-linked," he said. "If we stabilize one part, and not the other, the un-stabilized bit may destabilize the stabilized bit."

The purpose of my travel was, foremost, to experience locations and ways of life related to my works of fiction.
(I've shared some of that tucked between photos on my 'tour by town' pages. I'll add prose and novel excerpts in future editions of this site.)
Surprisingly, my imagination was bombarded each day to consider 'new' fiction and photographic topics. For example:
Interesting doors and entryway photos (the stories of what lies beyond them)
Rural fences and gates (the stories that pass through them)
Masonry walls and hedgerows (stories of the masons and their materials, and the hedgegrowers and their hedge-stock)
Little-used or baracaded public footpaths (stories of the peoples they used to tie together when the paths were well-trod)
The different masonry and roof styles in connected houses - leaning eras together like books from prior ages on the shelf of a treasured library collection
The changing light in 'close' (narrow) lanes and alleys in villages, towns, and the old parts of cities (sunlit at noon, else-wise edged with shadows or in deepest darkness)
Views from facing windows or window views contrasting servant and 'stately' life
The secondary purpose for my travel was the opportunity to meet my beloved British 4th cousins. You can read about Thomas Jones on the England 2012 tour home page. I hope to make a page sharing photos and personal reflections inspired by my cousin's well-guided glimpse-thru-time at our 5th great grandfather's life, village and environs. I'll provide a link when I finally get the job done.

If you share your home with a cane corso, you know that you've got a very big, dominant dog. With that comes a very big responsibility on your part. It's important to properly train and socialize your cane corso so aggression doesn't become an issue.
With any purebred dog, it's always important to research for what purpose the breed developed. Terriers were bred to hunt vermin, collies to herd and the cane corso was used as a guard dog and to hunt strong, vicious creatures like wild boar. Cane corsos require experienced handlers. Their natures compel them to protect their people from strangers, and that is anyone outside the family circle. He's not a particularly friendly dog to outsiders and often doesn't like other dogs or pets. If you're bringing home a cane corso, make sure everyone in your family likes and understands large canines.
Prevention is always worth a pound of cure, especially when you're dealing with a large, powerful canine. According to the Cane Corso Coalition, "A certain percentage of dogs are genetically unstable and inherit aggressive tendencies." They recommend purchasing your cane corso from a reputable breeder and meeting his parents to gauge their temperaments. Because of their strong wills, it's important to enroll your puppy in puppy kindergarten classes and keep on going at least through basic obedience. Look for trainers who specialize in the breed. A cane corso must obey his person. Don't let him loose in your backyard unless your fence is at least 6 feet high. Don't consider an electronic fence -- he'll go right through it.
If you see your dog starting to behave in an aggressive manner, correct and stop him at once. When he behaves well, lavish him with praise. Dominant aggressive behaviors include growling or snapping when a person asks the dog to move, or gets close to items the dog considers his, such as food or toys. Cane corsos bond very closely with their pack leader -- you -- as long as that pack leader demonstrates that they are the boss. Cane corsos can test boundaries, but you must never allow them to cross the line between appropriate and inappropriate behavior. In less dominant breeds, it's not something that needs reinforcing as frequently as in dominant dogs like the cane corso.
The most common type of canine corso aggression is a male going after another male dog. Neutering your pet will help reduce potential aggression toward other dogs. If you're out for a walk and come upon another dog, always have control of your dog but praise him if he ignores the passing canine. Dogs on or near your property might be another story, as your cane corso is very territorial. Once again, here's where your position as pack leader comes into play. Gently but firmly let him know what is and isn't acceptable behavior.

Tiggi Hawke has an 'alibi' For her successful run
UK rising star Tiggi Hawke is back with another hot single. This time entitled 'Alibi’, Tiggi has everyone thirsting for more with this new song. After earning lots of praise from her previous single, ‘Remedy’, auditors can expect even more originality in ‘Alibi’.
Considered to be Tiggi’s most powerful single ever released yet, ‘Alibi’ is definitely a song you’d want to lend your ears to. The soaring vocals of the singer/songwriter will make you want to sing along, especially in the chorus. Hawke explains the song’s production as the following, ‘‘I was so lucky to write Alibi with a group of incredibly talented writers and producers when we were all together on a writing camp so it draws inspiration from a lot of places. It really is a mix up of all the amazing musicians who were in the room! For me, Alibi is about an on and off relationship where you both know how the other feels but you're both still slightly in denial.’’
She adds that the song is like ‘‘A situation I can personally relate very strongly to, and one I’ve also seen a lot of my friends find themselves in whichever way it ended going.”
Well, 2018 has been a really good year for Hawke by seeing her burst through the summer with her smash hit single ‘Remedy’. Its popularity didn’t limit itself in the UK, but also in many other countries in Europe like Italy, Germany and Denmark. As a matter of fact, her track was popular enough to be listed in the renowned playlist of Spotify’s New Music Friday.
Hawke has been supported and championed by radio royalty including Radio 1 and KISS FM and has over 175k monthly listeners on Spotify coupled with millions of streams across Apple Music and Spotify. Be on the lookout for this talented artist, as more amazing music is expected to be produced from her.

By DOUG AUER and REGINALD PATRICK
44-year-old father of toddler drove his car to Verrazano-Narrow Bridge and jumped into water
STATEN ISLAND ADVANCE
At 6 o’clock yesterday morning, Gerard Tarter got up to help his wife prepare breakfast for their 16-month-old son. Then the family went back to sleep.
Sometime later, while his wife and son were still sleeping, the Tarter quietly slipped out of their Port Richmond home and eventually drove to the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
Halfway across the lower level, about 1:30 p.m., he parked his car in the Brooklyn-bound right lane, then jumped.
An NYPD helicopter happened to be circling in the area and witnessed Tarter’s death plunge. And coincidentally, Coast Guard personnel were on the beach within sight of the Verrazano when Tarter hit the water.
They notified headquarters at Fort Wadsworth, and a Coast Guard recovery craft was dispatched quickly from the Rosebank station.
Guided by the NYPD helicopter, the boat, manned by Petty Officers Bryan Jones, Christopher Taylor and Robert Norling, and Fireman Eduardo Gutierrez, found Tarter floating unconscious, face down.
They pulled him from the waters of New York Harbor at about 1:40 p.m., some 200 yards south of the bridge and about a mile from the Staten Island shoreline. Lacerations covered his face, chest, stomach and arms, according to the crew.
Tarter had no pulse and the crew performed CPR in a desperate effort to revive him as the boat raced to the Rosebank station. There, firefighters and paramedics from St. Vincent’s Hospital, West Brighton, took over until Tarter was whisked by ambulance to Staten Island University Hospital in Ocean Breeze. He was pronounced dead at 2:07 p.m.
A floral designer, Tarter had reported to work on Monday at Clark’s House of Flowers, Meiers Corners, the same as he had done for the past 25 years.
But co-workers told the Advance that in recent months they had noticed a change in his behavior.
And although his stunned wife said Tarter had been taking medication for depression, nothing had prepared her for yesterday’s tragedy.
“I’m speechless. I have no idea what to say,” Gloria Tarter told the Advance last night, as she sat on the front porch of the two-family home the couple shared with her mother, Gloria Colon.
Tarter graduated from St. Peter’s Boys High School and St. John’s University on Grymes Hill. The couple was married in September 2003 in St. Roch’s R.C. Church in Port Richmond.
Their 16-month-old son, Christopher, trotted around in his pajamas on the porch, his long, curly blond hair pulled behind his ears, as his grandmother tried to feed him yogurt.
“This was completely unexpected,” Mrs. Tarter said in a soft voice. She didn’t know the exact time her husband left their Treadwell Avenue house, which they had been renovating since moving in a year ago.
She didn’t understand what happened.
“I wish I knew,” she said.
Last night on Pelton Avenue in West Brighton, where Tarter had lived until his marriage, he was fondly remembered by neighbors.
“The nicest person you’d ever want to meet,” said Elaine McCormick-Lewis, who has lived two doors from Tarter’s mother, Paula, for 30 years.
She recalled how her son, Bill, 42, played on the same Snug Harbor Little League team as Tarter.
“He was so respectful and always had a smile,” said Mrs. McCormick-Lewis.
Her husband, Joseph, said he couldn’t imagine “what might’ve provoked” Tarter’s suicide.
“I can’t even picture him doing something like this,” said Mrs. McCormick-Lewis.
Dawn Sorrento, a next-door neighbor of Tarter’s mother for seven years, said everything seemed to be fine.
“Two weekends ago, the family was all over and they were on the porch, talking and laughing,” she said, adding that Tarter’s mother would often visit her son and his family. “He was so excited to have the baby. I’m just shocked.”
As police investigated Tarter’s death yesterday, the right lane of the lower level of the Verrazano, Brooklyn-bound, was closed, said Frank Pascual, spokesman for MTA Bridges and Tunnels.
Tarter’s gray 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe was vouchered for safekeeping at the Mid-Island’s 122nd Precinct, a police spokesman said.
Tarter is the second man to jump to his death from the Verrazano this year.
On Feb. 7, Anuj V. Jain, 30, of the 3500 block of Amboy Road, Bay Terrace, tumbled nearly 100 feet over the Fort Wadsworth Gateway National Recreation Area before landing on concrete. He was said to have been despondent over job woes.

I think the fact that I was able to meet with most of the Descendants 2 Cast made my daughter just a tad bit jealous…”tad” being an understatement. All of them were so sweet and extremely grateful to be a part of this sequel. From what I gather, we can expect a lot more from the film and given how good the first one was I can only imagine what they have in store for us. Since we were able to meet most of the cast on their own, I figured I’d share my favorite quotes from our interviews.
“What’s beautiful about having such a broad cast of characters is that we all have our really unique storylines. One of my favorite storylines actually isn’t my own, it’s Lonnie’s, and you’ll see that when the movie comes. She has this beautiful, empowering message for girls that gets me every time I see the movie.”
“You’ll see a different side of Evie because in the first film, when we met her, Evie was very much her mother’s daughter. She was very consumed in what she looked like and she was sadly willing to believe that her reflection in the mirror is what defined her as a person. At the end of the movie, she realized that as girls, [our looks do not] define us. That doesn’t make us more important or beautiful or special. It’s who we are in our hearts and to be the fairest of them all is to be fair inside. In the second movie, Evie has really grown into herself. She is strong and independent. She’s smart. She’s a fashion designer. She has made her dream come true without a prince and she’s become a leader. At the same time, her best friend Mal, [who is like] her sister, is lost and really confused. Their relationship is really beautiful and important and it’s a story of girl power, which I love.”
China Anne McClain
“It’s cool to play a villain. This is my very first time [playing one] I think. We all have those feelings inside that we just want to unleash on people sometimes, and that’s the definition of Uma’s character. She has always bottled up feelings that she randomly unleashes on people and is not sorry for it at all. So, it was fun playing that and it was really cool. She’s really cool.”
“After the first movie we knew we were going to do the second one. The whole time we were thinking, “Okay, how are we going to top that? How are we going to make something that’s bigger and still better?” You don’t want to just go bigger but you also want to go [deeper with] the characters, but the physical sets themselves are just insane in the second one. You guys haven’t seen anything [like this]. I’m really excited for you guys to see it.”
“I feel like this [lesson] is touched upon the first film, but even more so in this film. Young boys are very [competitive] and they want to be the best. And Jay, in the first film, is a [typical] guy. He wants to be the best. Just having an open mind is such a different, rare thing for a young boy to have. So I’d like it to not even be a question that young people should have an open mind. It just should be how it is. Jay’s opening the door for the people to follow. I [want to] make sure young boys come out of it with more of an open mind.”
*I have a tendency to find a catch phrase that I love and use it all of the time. One of the latest ones is “You do you boo boo”, that being said one of my biggest regrets is that I didn’t say that to Booboo. Seems like a missed opportunity to me.
Kenny Ortega (Director)
“Did any of you ever see “Dirty Dancing?” That was a big part of my youth. I grew up in the ‘60s. I was born in 1950 and I was dancing in my middle-school gymnasiums. When I got the job to choreograph that movie, the director Emile Ardolino said, “What does Dirty Dancing mean to you?” and I said I just remembered when we would go to our Saturday night dances in middle school, that the teacher would come up on the stage and, and say into the microphone, “If there’s any dirty dancing out there the lights are on, the music is over and the party is off.” Sometimes we weren’t even dancing for 20 minutes and the lights came on. But for me, dance was conversation. Before I was a choreographer I danced and there were things that I couldn’t say, that I didn’t know how to say, that I was afraid to say. But I could dance them and so I could communicate through movement. And I think that was always a big thing for me – was that dance was an opportunity to communicate and to have conversation. And that’s what I love about doing it, you know?”
“Where the words stop on the page, the dance can continue to evolve characters, can continue to evolve relationships, can continue to tell story, so that by the time you get to the end of the dance you’re further along than you were when you started it.”
My daughter is super excited about its premiere this Friday July 21, 2017 on ABC, Freeform, Lifetime, Disney XD, or Disney Channel! *and so am I!

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — European Central Bank head Christine Lagarde has warned that the world’s central banks have less room to stimulate the economy in case there’s a recession.
Lagarde said in an appearance Thursday before the European Parliament’s economic and monetary affairs committee that interest rates and inflation are already low, meaning there is less room to reduce rates further and make credit cheaper to support business activity.
“This low interest rate and low inflation environment has significantly reduced the scope for the ECB and other central banks worldwide to ease monetary policy in the face of an economic downturn,” she said.
The ECB has already reduced key policy rates to zero or below. The benchmark rate for lending to eurozone banks is at zero, and the rate on deposits left at the ECB by banks overnight is at minus 0.5%. The negative rate costs banks money and gives them an incentive to lend the money instead of letting it pile up. The U.S. Federal Reserve is holding its benchmark federal funds rate at a range of 1.5-1.75%.
Lagarde has urged European governments that are in good financial shape to use government spending to support the economy and not rely so much on stimulus from the central bank.

I am thinking of doing this change plus going up two in the back and down one in the front.I am not that interested in top speed more into stunting and playing around inthe country.But i would like to know what top speed would be with this change can anyone give me a honest answer please?
11-28-05 09:48 AM
If you're stunting, there's probably no reason to drop down to a 520 chain unless it is cheaper. Most people go to a 520 because they don't know any better, but the people that need a 520 chain do it because it is lighter.
You can calculate this yourself by finding the gear ratios.
(2.933-2.625)/(2.625)=11.7% increase in numerical gear ratio(your engine will have to turn 11.7% faster
TS=(RPM)(K) where TS equals top speed, RPM equals max engine RPM, and K equals a constant based upon your gear ratios.
Since max engine RPM is constant, solve for RPM, set both equations equal to each-other. Then, because 1.117(K1)=(K2), you will find that your new top speed will be 89.5% of your former top speed.

Presentation by Renee Baernstein (Miami University).
The paper analyzes patterns of aristocratic marriage alliance across regional states of Italy during the period of Spanish domination (1535-1600) to argue that cross-regional marriages helped build a shared Italian culture and language long before the political unification of Italy was viable. Gender roles in cultural transmission. Drawing on models such as Stanford’s “Republic of Letters” mapping website, the paper combines cartographic and textual analyses of social networks.
Renee Baernstein is Associate Professor of History and Miami University. She teaches the history of Renaissance, Reformation, and Counter-Reformation Europe. Her current book project, Gender and Marriage in Baroque Rome: The Colonna Family, argues that the unique characteristics of the Papal political system, particularly clerical celibacy, created in the ruling class a family environment conducive to women holding powerful but hidden and mistrusted positions of influence.

Megan Thee Stallion shines through adversity in Variety Magazine’s latest cover. The last month for the multi-platinum rapper has not been the easiest after she suffered gunshot wounds in both feet. The outcome required surgery. She called the situation “the worst experience of her life.” Following the traumatic incident, she endured the insensitivity of social media, leaving her to clapback at those who made light of the situation.
In her first public statement, she took to Instagram Live. Bearing with emotion, she fought back tears as she expounded on what had occurred the night of her surgery. Despite the Twitter trolls, she received love and support from Beyoncé, Rihanna, Lizzo, Michael B. Jordan and more.
“I don’t like to be sad or keep myself in a dark place, because I know it could be the worst thing happening, but the pain and the bad things don’t last for long.”
From her upbringing and early success, to juggling the demands of a music career while pursuing a Bachelors Degree, Megan is turning her hot girl dreams into a reality. Through it all, she is one of music’s brightest superstars today. Earlier in the week, she announced a new collaboration with Grammy Award winning femcee, Cardi B, entitled, “Was.” The track is set to release on Friday.
She scored her first Hot 100 chart topper, after teaming with Beyoncé for “Savage” remix. They met after the Roc Nation signee was invited to Bey and Jay’s New Years party.
“She treated me like family, and now I feel like I am family. We talk all the time, said Megan about Beyonce.”
Now the buzz for her highly anticipated debut album has shot further into the stratosphere. According to the story, she hopes to drop her first full length release by the end of the Summer. Read the full Variety cover story here.

Update: here’s a highlight video from the event
This event is organized as a part of the official Google Local Guides Meet-up day. And this is not your usual tourist tour of Sanur and the beach. We’ll discover Sanur village by bike and visit a few hidden gems, beautiful scenery and paddy fields that are towards Denpasar.
We will be following the trails of Sanur Bike Green Map which is presented by Rumah Sanur as an initiative for raising awareness to the local neighborhood and cultural heritage of Sanur. We will start our journey from Rumah Sanur (google maps link) and pass through the beach area up to the northern part of Sanur, where we will turn westward towards Denpasar and explore the beautiful balance of urbanization and farming land.
Please note that you need to bring your own bicycle and be prepared for a pretty long journey. It will also be good if you bring a good camera to contribute with as much photos as possible to Google Maps.
It will be fun and sweaty and there will be time to break the fast at Rumah Sanur by the time we return.
This event is open for anyone to join. We hope to see as many new and friendly faces as possible as it is a chance for you to get to know us and vice versa.

The Gable Tostee murder trial has proved ineffective once again with the failure of the jury members in giving a unanimous verdict on the matter.
The struggle of the jury members in finding the right way to punish the suspect is evident from their confusion. It is significant to take a decision that would deliver justice to the woman who died because of him. Warriena Wright fell off the 14th floor of Tostee’s Surfers Paradise apartment at a Gold Coast apartment balcony in August 2014.
Earlier, the court heard that the couple met on a dating website, Tinder, while Wright was visiting Australia all the way from New Zealand for a vacation. They met for their first date, which took an ugly turn, leading to the death of the tourist. In the previous hearings, an audio recording was presented to the court in which the couple seemed to be fighting in the suspect’s apartment.
However, the sounds indicated that it was not Tostee but Wright who became violent that night. She beat the suspect badly and blamed him for not only stealing her cell phone but also tampering with the data. On the other hand, the recording sounded like the suspect showed her where the mobile phone was kept. Despite the evidence supporting the alleged killer, the jury could judge him guilty as he was the reason for Wright’s death.
The jury consisted of six men and six women. They began deliberations on Monday but Justice John Byrne provided them more instructions on the matter on Tuesday morning and then again in the afternoon. After long hours of discussion, the members were sent home for the night. Justice Byrne, according to the media reports, would only allow them to relax when he will get a satisfactory verdict on the matter.
He told the members to take as much time as they want until a suitable decision is reached. Byrne advised the jury to listen to the opinions of their fellow jurors very carefully as it would lead to a better understanding of the differences of opinion. “This often leads to a better understanding of the differences of opinion you may have and may convince you that your original opinion was wrong,” he said referring to the Gable Tostee murder trial as quoted by the ABC.
“That is not, of course, to suggest you can, consistently with your oath or affirmation as a juror, join in a verdict if you do not honestly and genuinely think that it is the correct one.”

How real is reality?
Related: free online acting class
by N J Howell unless otherwise noted
UPDATE: 2018. The Mass Participation TV Project I’m sharing here has since been discontinued but I’ve kept a lot of the tapes on my youtube channel for those who might want to see how it works.
What’s Behind Door # 3?
Remember that game show where contestants bid on what was behind closed doors? They didn’t know what they were bidding on til later. They were bidding on faith, on a hunch, on whatever the audience or their mother thought.
I recently got involved with a mass participation tv project. I’ve enjoyed acting for decades but this gave me the chance to expand into writing, collaborating with other writers and actors and creating characters for specific shows.
MPTV is a web-based virtual reality world where you can create a character, any character you want, and become part of a fictional place and storyline. You may also create your own show.
Amusing, fun and ultimately spiritually profound.
It turns out that virtual reality is really no different than real reality. If what I perceive is real reality, that is. Not sure about that anyway.
In any case, playing in this virtual world has shown me that whether we are creating in 3-d reality or in virtual reality, our choices affect others. Our contribution impacts the whole. As I write my character script, noticing the storyline of the show and the other characters, I weave myself into the story. It’s really no different in real life so in a sense, this helps me be a better communicator and also helps me understand where I belong and feel most at home.
It’s a fascinating creative experience and a delightful spiritual exploration. If you want to know more, please visit
