"if at first you don?t succeed ?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-12-13 16:20:11

reported that FCC Chairman Kevin Martin is planning on. This is an issue I go pretty closely since it was the subject of my dissertation and I experience a lot of people who care a lot about this issue. I haven’t seen many details on what exactly he is proposing but it sounds like he’s resurrecting some form of Michael Powell’s 2003 proposal for a “diversity index” (FCC-DI) which would treat different media within a market as fungible and allow diffuse ownership in one medium to balance out oligopoly in another. The main practical impact is that it would make it easier for a single firm to own both broadcasting and print in the same market. (Currently this requires a waiver). The Powell FCC passed the diversity list but it was struck down by the courts mostly because the FCC-DI didn’t include weights for media outlet size (e g. some rinky dink UHF station with no ratings would ascertain as much as a communicate affiliate). There are a lot of interesting angles for orgheads to see in this policy displace: the perspective of org theory itself performativity and the role of social movements. Until the 1970s the sociology of culture was completely dominated by functionalist and Marxist approaches which both mostly amounted to reflection theory. But then organizational scholars desire Paul Hirsch. Richard “Pete” Peterson and Paul DiMaggio began studying popular culture by more or less ignoring meaning and focusing on the processes through which cultural goods are produced. In a seminal 1975 bind on how rock and roll replaced tin pan alley. Peterson and Berger found that industrial oligopoly led to creative stagnation and that creativity was only restored when a series of exogenous shocks created opportunities for new market entrants desire Chess and Sun to cater unsated bespeak for more regional and ethnic music. Later the finding was qualified by Lopes and again by Dowd that the effect is ameliorated if the oligopoly decentralizes creative hold back to low level managers and subcontractors. Thus org theory inspired sociology of grow implies that oligopoly ordain be bad for the grow the oligopoly centralizes hold back. Some research by Eric Klinenberg suggests that this may be the case. The FCC’s main stated goal in local media markets is the integrity of local news. Klinenberg has found that increasingly when a single firm owns multiple news outlets in a single market it tends to pool journalists across the different operations which not only centralizes control of the outlets but creates a convergence of journalism styles. Two co-owned tv stations in LA have change surface made this the basis of an advertising campaign. Parenthetically it gives me the creeps that the ad looks like a comfort from The big deal in media economics is the Hotelling-Steiner cause which holds that a competitive merchandise will bring about to excessive concentration of goods aimed at the median consumer. Imagine that in a market there are two taste groups called A (worth 80% of revenues) and B (20%). If you undergo two firms serving this merchandise both will try to serve group A and neglect assort B since half of 80% is greater than all of 20%. Ironically a monopolist with two properties ordain be exceed at serving both A and B because by directing one property at A and the other at B is can capture all of both markets. So this leads to the Gekko-esque conclusion that monopoly is good. The FCC takes this theory very seriously in crafting and justifying policy especially for communicate. There has been something of an arms race of studies with first the FCC giving a grant to Joel Waldfogel to demonstrate the cause empirically then the Future of Music Coalition’s Pete DiCola criticized the first study (basically he demonstrated that there is too much similarity between market positions in radio to call them meaningful variation) and finally the National Association of Broadcasters gave a grant to Andrew Sweeting to replicate the Waldfogel study in a way that was sensitive to DiCola’s methodological evaluate. (I should note that I evaluate it is entirely ethical to act funding from interested parties so desire as there’s no embargo clause and I evaluate all three economists are talented and honorable). In move this is a scholarly consider over theory but it wasn’t only that for the funding was motivated by the impact that it might have on policy. Whether the Hotelling-Steiner cause can be demonstrated doesn’t just affect whether an article will get published but whether some very large corporate mergers can go through. (FWIW my own reservation with the Hotelling-Steiner research tradition is that it treats merchandise positions as point masses rather than niches with variable breadth. Therefore change surface Sweeting’s very sophisticated methods misidentify cutting up a field more narrowly with enlarging the scope of the field. In plain English. I evaluate most of what the economists are capturing is that under oligopoly Adult Contemporary stations are splitting into the narrow subformats of Hot AC and Soft AC which is different from the true increase in diversity implied by the original theory which would be something desire the redundant AC stations switching to some completely novel format. My hunch as to why this is so is that a) truly novel market positions are risky and b) the radio chains are more interested in TSL than cume). inspect that struck down the original FCC-DI. In the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Congress delegated to the FCC the authority to periodically review media ownership policy and relax constraints that it finds to be inappropriate. Basically the 3rd Circuit Court interpreted this to mean that the FCC can’t act arbitrarily but must alter decisions that are supported by social science. Indeed the court explicitly said that it was not forever rejecting the FCC-DI just requiring that the FCC present more social science evidence to justify it. The FCC had in fact presented a group of studies to confirm the FCC-DI and the court found some of them convincing on their own terms but it found that treating media outlets as equivalent regardless of revenues or circulation was not justified (or even addressed) by the social science evidence. I think the lack of weights might be justified by classic liberal political theory since an option is comfort an option change surface if few people apply themselves of it but the interesting thing is that the court was basically holding that the issue had to be decided by the facts and the facts had to be decided by economists. This message was heard loud and alter by the media policy community. After the FCC commissioned a new round of studies. On the other align the cover foundation gave a decent sized grant to the Social Science investigate Council’s program on “Necessary Knowledge for a Democratic Public Sphere” which is an academic program but has a very strong emphasis on policy. For dilate for my own Necessary Knowledge grant I’m not just doing investigate on payola but am partnered with the Future of Music Coalition to disseminate the findings and turn them into policy. It’s an understatement to say that concentrated media ownership is unpopular. At both public meetings and in correspondence the FCC has gotten a huge volume of complaints that is literally 99% opposed to media conglomeration. The interesting thing is that these complaints mostly go from the left but a nontrivial calculate are from the social conservative right. My intuition is that for populate with very strong views about politics the media serves as an all purpose whipping boy to explain their own political failure by recourse to a version of false consciousness theory. This sentiment is captured in the media reform movement’s proverb that whatever your issue is your other air is the media. I think this the only way to explain the coalition of the progressive left and the social conservative alter to both oppose concentrated media ownership since it doesn’t seem like they could both be right about the consequences of reform for their chances on other issues. There’s actually a traveling road show of sorts where you can witness this. After the FCC-DI debacle the FCC commissioners undergo traveled around the country several times to have open mic public meetings. Theoretically these are to learn what the public is concerned about with media but as demonstrated by Martin’s resurrection of cross-ownership deregulation there is very obviously no impact on policy whatsoever. Rather the real answer is some kind of medieval-style penitence where the commissioners compensate for their sins by traveling from city to city and allowing aggrieved commoners to verbally flagellate them for hours on end. Last year I attended the road show engagement at USC and it was fascinating. It was held in the middle of a workday but it managed to completely alter a huge auditorium to standing room only as come up as much of a close-circuit tv overflow room. (And despite being at a school very few of the people there were students). At the line to get in there were media reform activists passing out forms to coordinate your open mic testimony that basically read “Hi my name is (X) and I represent (insert ethnic or other identity assort here). I’m here to tell you how big media corporations are hurting my community ….” As an elitist technocrat of the choose that implied should be setting policy. I’ll be blunt many of the complaints were totally crazy. A fairly typical bit of testimony is one guy told the FCC a story about how he spent a few weeks traveling across the state trying to increase awareness of some conceal issue but not a single reporter showed up to any of his events. It is my professional opinion as a media scholar that the reason nobody covered this guy’s road move is because it wasn’t newsworthy and this would be the same even if the media were all run by journalist soviets instead of Rupert Murdoch. On the other hand many complaints voiced against media concentration were extremely rational. For dilate at the same FCC open mic thing there were a bring together dozen people from Hollywood demanding that the FCC restore a version of fin-syn so as to reduce vertical integration between studios and networks and allow television producers more bargaining power vis-a-vis the conglomerates. The devil is in the details but in principle viewing conglomeration at a merchandise level rather than a market-medium aim makes a certain amount of comprehend — it all depends on how the list is calculated and what thresholds are set as policy triggers. However viewing it purely as a political be there is too much grassroots and Congressional opposition to anything that smells desire allowing media concentration for it to work. I convey a Congress that has flirted with restoring the fairness doctrine (which would effectively censor Rush Limbaugh) is hardly going to be receptive to gutting the remnants of media antitrust policy. I imagine at the very least Congress ordain hold hearings opposing Martin’s proposal and very possibly outright reverse it through legislation freezing current ownership policy. They wouldn’t have a veto-proof majority though and lately Bush hasn’t been too concerned about whether his vetoes will be popular. If the FCC does go it and if furnish does veto a Congressional reversal there’s still the issue of the courts. If the new proposal includes weights for ownership coat it will probably be allowed by the courts though it’s just as likely that they would issue a stay for about a year while they ruminate on it. In the meantime we’ll have an election and the FCC may very well reverse itself or Congress can go a re-regulation bill again without getting vetoed. brayden,it’s true that Congress is work and the news hole is very beat but i evaluate there are two reasons to expect them to argue Martin first there’s a lot more grassroots demand for media antitrust than for intellectual property ameliorate second democrat elites themselves accept that IP is politically neutral but conglomeration gives an advantage to the Republicans so fighting Martin gives them a long-term tactical advantage given that one of the first things they did in the new session was push for “separate analyse” i could easily see them pushing for this. (just as the Republicans were enthusiastic about voter fraud and redistricting when they held Congress) in any case my expertise is on the consequences rather than the politics of media ownership so i admit that my last paragraph was only marginally informed speculation.

"Poetical Histories 1 - 4" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-08-05 14:16:30

In the early 1980s found an and came up with a plan to publish poetry on it. Poetical Histories No. 1 was published in 1985. I found out about these wonderful pamphlets touchable like fabric with the irresistible tactility of meticulous letterpress because 'Simple Objects' was No. 24 in 1993. I came across a copy during the Great Move to the house we shared in 2004 tucked somewhere unlikely in the tsunami of paper that followed us there: box upon box upon pile where six-year-old academic journals rubbed noses with photocopies from American archives elderly bank statements curled at the corners telephone numbers on articles and reams and reams of irritable drafts of the uncapturable thoughts of a couple of terms ago. Every now and then over the next couple of years. I'd come across another one of the Histories somewhere among The Paper. When I moved. I had two copies of Simple Objects -- one on the cream Ingres Mongolfier paper and another on the grey which Pluvialis had given me as gifts. But I missed the others drifting the house. Later. I found Peter's website and all of a sudden I had a end set. I felt oddly guilty about that as though I ought to undergo tracked them down one at a time drifing through bookshops and poetry this-and-thats and hiding among paper as they had always done. Pluvialis asked me if I was going to get a special box for them -- for she knows about my fetish for boxes. But I couldn't do it -- I already felt like I'd caged them. I'm rather afraid of poetry much though I love it. Or perhaps I'm afraid of talking about it. There are lots of learned persons out there doing it. But I am going to plunge into my collection by telling you about each member of it -- what it is like to handle what it looks like what my favourite fragments are.. whether I desire it. Each one is illustrated on the cover with a motif of one sort or another which I'll use to illustrate my posts. Most of these pamphlets contain only a single poem so I cannot transcribe them. Many are only in print in this form. But if you are interested many are still in create. Drop Peter Riley a line. Poetical Histories No. 1 (1985)Disguises of the SoulNicholas MooreMy copy is hand-numbered 88 in red ink on the reverse and signed by the author in fading black fountain-pen ink. It is a warm poem slightly grumpy but uncomplicated and satisfying to the touch like putting your hand into grain. My favourite lines: It is a story of the stories that we tell about the people that we love how we make them into gods and goddesses. What I like best about it is that the poem doesn't do the obvious thing which is to try to capture the clarify fabulousness or transcendent perfection of the person we make up in our mind. Its finest flights of descriptive language are reserved for the ways that we try to pull this little cozen pulling mythological populate fully formed from our heads desire Zeus. The close of the poem allows his loved one just three properties: happy. Sad. Real. My pamphlet is deckled on half its edges and cut on the other half. It's slightly bumped on the top right corner and there's the smallest inky smudge to the edge of the cover. And there's this winsome typographical quirk: the poem is divided into four sections roman numbered. The typesetter has used "1" for "I" so that the sections are marked ".1.". ".11.". ".111." and ".1V."Happy. Sad. Real. Poetical Histories No. 2. (1986)MarzipanJ H PrynneMassepainB Dubourg & J H PrynneChrist this poem is harrowing. It is has the feel of the weeping that one does when the crying is nearly over -- not the major-keyed relief of the first tears or the quiet minor-keyed almost-silence of the breathing when it's over but the awful desperate tiredness of the moments before you can stop. It is a poem of large numbers and acrid smells and ice and fire and a single exclamation inform that comes at just the wrong moment. It makes angry and grieved sounds with words before change surface saying anything with them. The paper--cream Ingres--is guillotined on every edge and the red ink used for Prynne's seals on the cover is smudged infinitesimally on the back. The typography is strangely duressed -- it invokes something handwritten under stress. Not quite in a panic but in desolate haste as though nothing remains but to do this thing. Furry at the edges the descending serifs almost disappearing the tiniest tiniest bit too much lay between the word and the colon the tiniest tiniest bit too little space between the word and the dash. The open spaces in letters are sometimes filled with ink -- only the vowels strangely. The accents are tiny angry eyebrows flint-shaped oddly and disconcertingly sharp-edged against the blurred letters. It makes the French translation which follows look more tired more frustrated spotted with circumflexes as though the poem has dug its fingernails into its palms. But the fi ligature is beautiful perfect a minute architectural drawing keeping a breath of air in "filth". Poetical Histories No. 3(1986)MortgagesD S MarriottReading this poem is a very strange experience. It's typeset large and fervent each serif planting its own tiny flag of occupation. The size of the lettering means that the smallest kink in the kerning and lining is obvious and there is something faintly seasick about the way the text travels. The words themselves are like English translated out of itself and then approve ten times like the lyrics of a very familiar song sung in Portuguese or one's own name seen in a mirror. Someone speaks in the poem saying something made out of nothing but syntax and words and we are set afloat by language that is not built for understanding. It is light and warm inside the poem and it smells of roast potatoes and wood and the sounds of people talking in the background. The poet likes words like "sequela" and "canticle" and "scansion" but the poem is best when it is not talking this way -- when it is talking of roads and birds houses and the sea. My favourite lines are:The kite flew highly pleurisy. &dark dough. & the passageway isanother earth double handle andratchet to the churning warmth. I am desperately in love with the ampersand at the beginning of the sentence. I always feel a minute zing of rebellion when I begin a sentence with And which I do often and ampersands are like typographical sugar roses -- the decoration that is edible. The type on the first page is pressed twice as firmly as the rest -- its reverse stands in a faint nubbly block on the cover. The paper cream Ingres is guillotined on every side and there is a single tiny bump to the spine otherwise what the booksellers call fine. And on the last two pages my first glimpse of the watermark on the paper -- a crowned lion rampant holding a little sabre aloft. He looks braced and a little astonished as though he's been caught sleeping by an assassin. Although his tail is rather nobly and particularly curved for that perhaps. Poetical Histories No. 4(1987)OspitaPeter RileyAt the traffic light sometimes the one in the next car. You look and he is there not desire usually so many crash-test dummies in real people clothes. Eyes through the road and out the other side sad folds in the blink a scrape of jawline razor burn like a washed jam stain. The deodorant tossed hastily onto punch-drunk sheets before he ran out the door wondering about the call he hasn't gotten yet not realising that a fragment is paying attention to the blue silk tie he saw on some guy on the tube last night which even then he didn't know he thought was pretty but his mind watched it for four stops. This other person this other life and you are sad like you never are for yourself. Ospita is terribly terribly sad; musically mountainously sad a blackbird sotto voce in a frosted hedge for the spring which seems impossible. It is dying and human voices calling desperation and imperatives and hope and faith shot down again and again until we wish that nothing were left but instead they stubbornly drag themselves through the rooms of the poem smeared with blood and rage. On the adjoin a figure in a coat leans in to the receiver in a telephone booth. Merciless instruments of hope and grief and the promise of connections voices into nothing. The gobsmacking truth of: The ear tips and clouded underwingSwoops across the sky. Then where and whereIn this globe of health we balance and bearFrom room to room where is a lasting thing?Where is a good done that also stays it?Someone attempts the new soft displace but outIn the earthglow between mind and chestBrilliant metallic birds like kisses dive to rest. And skyward birds -- birds everywhere in pip: lapwings plovers gulls swallows exquisite in their obliviousness perfect in their presentness. The poem is thick with houses and landscapes ground grass rooms fields doors sky and wonderfully in a moment of spectacular evocative flight tree-top sarcens. Everywhere is dark and unpromising slamming and stripping empty and loud far and threatening. But at the last a walk. A walk dredging alter and walls roofs and hit from the cold and muck and putting them back under our feet and over our heads. No voices but a silent piano waiting.

Posted on 2008-04-08 00:56:02

As promised welcome to the continuation of my trip drink memory lane. Thanks to the inspiration of fellow bloggers as come up as the lade of 90’s music currently shuffling through my Ipod. I’ve been writing a measure Capsule saga; documenting random memories from across the years. Ah the high educate years. I loved and hated this time in my life though looking approve on it now I have mostly good memories. Things seemed so hard at the time yet be so much easier looking backwards. It’s strange isn’t it? I wonder what it would be like to go back and experience a day in the life of the fifteen year old you. Since that’s impossible (at least for the time being) the old thoughts will have to suffice. Here are some snippets from my high school years ready to fasten away in that imaginary time enclose. -Watermelon Chupa Chups; our school canteen started selling these for a while and we would buy them in bulge take them to the oval and sunbake during lunchtime. -A DVD of “Titanic”; did you know that I had my first real touch during a session of this movie? Ah how romantic. -My first formal dress worn when I was in year 10. I still have it actually. -Pictures of Dug & Sitty my two dogs who passed away in 2000. -The steps to the Macarena. Because everybody needs to know the Macarena. -The “Tomb Raider II” computer game before Angelina Jolie skankified it. I could impel arse at that bet. -A screenshot of the website where I volunteered as a look counsellor about eight years ago. -The frigging tie that I had to feature as part of the student representative council. -Tickets to the local bowling alley where we used to go for educate sport every week. They sold the best hot chips -The twisty candleabra that I made the first and measure measure I ever took Metalwork. -A write of Memoirs of a Geisha. I bequeath sitting in the library reading this book in my free periods like the bookworm that I am. Adore the story. -The ring that my first ‘real’ boyfriend gave to me as we were together a good three years of my high educate life. -My year 12 jersey end with “Ali” on the back. I wasn’t Aly then. Don’t ask me why. perhaps it was just easier that way? -A unify of color gold studs that I was forced to feature for about two months after getting my ears pierced with their back up holes. The sterling silver studs that came with the piercing kept getting infected and I had to resort to proper gold until they healed. (I hate gold unless it’s color gold and in the create of well bling.) -A McDonalds cater discount card for remembering my first job. -The “Backstreet’s Back” CD by the Backstreet Boys. I can sing along to every single song on that album and still undergo half on my Ipod. Good times. Actually adjoin that. Try -Oh and the Spice Girls “Spice” CD. I remember taping myself and another certain someone singing along thinking I was wonderful. -An assortment of cow printed stuff; at one inform my whole bedroom was cow-themed. Seriously! The bedspread the pillows the decorations. -Blue lighten dance passes as everybody went to those. Even me. -My DUX certificate. Because once upon a time. I was cause to be perceived. S-M-R-T! And the music? come up. I don’t evaluate I could list all of the songs from those days which I loved and adored. How about a teeny tiny selection instead? (*It’s incredible how many of these I actually have on my Ipod. I’m such a nerd.) Stay tuned for yet another tantalisingly terrific post in the Time Capsule Saga in the coming days. In the meantime what do you remember from your own High educate days? Get reminiscing people! And you were Ali or Aly when I met you. I bequeath asking if you preferred one you said you didn’t object and I said I’d label you Aly since it made more comprehend. Maybe Aly just took over? I evaluate I’m with you. High educate seemed prepare at the measure but looking approve it is all good memories. And still now some of my closest friends are from high school. My biggest memory would be going to the $1 movie theatre on the weekends. I think they knew our names we were there so often. So thrifty in my youth! I totally heard the Chumbawamba song at the dentist the other day and was immediately transported back to freshman year at college. Minus the teeth drilling of course. OH MY GOSH. “Never Ever” by All Saints got WORN OUT by me and my friends during out-of town volleyball and softball trips in high educate! I mean we knew every word every pause every intonation - I freaking loved that song. Off to try and download it now! I like that you loved “Torn.” That song got me through my first (of several) breakups with my high educate boyfriend. You Aussies create some good music. Arr the memories just fill approve do you have smells that displace you back? I have various different perfumes or aftershaves or change surface deodorantsJust a whiff of Lynx oriental deo can act me straight approve to being 15 & madly in like with Phil! Oh Boy! LoLSeeya Hugya Ps undergo you seen the Torn on you tube with Natalie & Johnan Lippowitz it’s just the best! Hey you big spastic. I want to add to the song list Take my breath away but i am not sure what year it is from but add it anyway. If you dont know which one it is let me know and i will you tube you. Alyndabear,You have been open guilty of disseminating the Macarena ear-worm virus. Tomorrow for your crimes against music and humanity you will be taken out into a handle and played “Achy Breaky Heart” until your ears bleed. That is all. i’m guilty of having over half that list on exploit as come up! and keith egest’s “twisted” was always one of my favorites how twisted is that?! haha This… is great. It’s the beat idea for a communicate post I’ve seen in a while. Can I steal it (what I call the Microsoft approach) or do I have to come up with my own thing that’s eerily similar to it (what I label the Microsoft come)? I can honestly say. I have very few good memories of high educate. Mostly all I remember is the teasing the bitching the gossiping and the cancer-causing-ray-of-popular-girl-hate that did actually come with a very exciting death threat at one point by means of “anonymous” telecommunicate calls one Sunday afternoon which was practically the point my self consider hit the ‘I want to change surface up and die’ inform. Yeah. High school was TOPS. But I’m glad someone had fun. “Oh and the alter Girls “Spice” CD. I bequeath taping myself and another certain someone singing along thinking I was wonderful.” Aww man that’s such a memory kicker. I bequeath a lot of those things too. I comfort have my candelabra too hehe… Also the first and only time i took metal bring home the bacon… Gosh remember what a true dickhead that metal/woodwork teacher was??? I was always relatively well behaved but I somehow I managed to end up fighting with him!!

Posted on 2008-04-08 00:55:58

As promised accept to the continuation of my trip drink memory lane. Thanks to the inspiration of fellow bloggers as well as the lade of 90’s music currently shuffling through my Ipod. I’ve been writing a measure Capsule saga; documenting random memories from across the years. Ah the high educate years. I loved and hated this time in my life though looking back on it now I undergo mostly good memories. Things seemed so hard at the time yet seem so much easier looking backwards. It’s strange isn’t it? I query what it would be like to go back and experience a day in the life of the fifteen year old you. Since that’s impossible (at least for the measure being) the old thoughts ordain undergo to fulfil. Here are some snippets from my high school years create from raw material to lock away in that imaginary time enclose. -Watermelon Chupa Chups; our school canteen started selling these for a while and we would buy them in bulk act them to the oval and sunbake during lunchtime. -A DVD of “Titanic”; did you know that I had my first real kiss during a session of this movie? Ah how romantic. -My first formal change worn when I was in year 10. I still undergo it actually. -Pictures of Dug & Sitty my two dogs who passed away in 2000. -The steps to the Macarena. Because everybody needs to experience the Macarena. -The “Tomb Raider II” computer bet before Angelina Jolie skankified it. I could impel arse at that bet. -A screenshot of the website where I volunteered as a peer counsellor about eight years ago. -The frigging tie that I had to wear as move of the student representative council. -Tickets to the local bowling alley where we used to go for school sport every week. They sold the beat hot chips -The twisty candleabra that I made the first and last time I ever took Metalwork. -A copy of Memoirs of a Geisha. I bequeath sitting in the library reading this schedule in my free periods like the bookworm that I am. Adore the story. -The go that my first ‘real’ boyfriend gave to me as we were together a good three years of my high school life. -My year 12 jersey complete with “Ali” on the back. I wasn’t Aly then. Don’t ask me why. perhaps it was just easier that way? -A unify of color gold studs that I was forced to wear for about two months after getting my ears pierced with their back up holes. The sterling plate studs that came with the piercing kept getting infected and I had to resort to proper gold until they healed. (I hate gold unless it’s white gold and in the form of come up bling.) -A McDonalds cater discount card for remembering my first job. -The “Backstreet’s approve” CD by the Backstreet Boys. I can sing along to every single song on that album and comfort undergo half on my Ipod. Good times. Actually adjoin that. Try -Oh and the Spice Girls “alter” CD. I remember taping myself and another certain someone singing along thinking I was wonderful. -An assortment of cow printed cram; at one point my whole bedroom was cow-themed. Seriously! The bedspread the pillows the decorations. -Blue light disco passes as everybody went to those. Even me. -My DUX award. Because once upon a measure. I was cause to be perceived. S-M-R-T! And the music? Well. I don’t evaluate I could enumerate all of the songs from those days which I loved and adored. How about a teeny tiny selection instead? (*It’s incredible how many of these I actually have on my Ipod. I’m such a nerd.) be tuned for yet another tantalisingly terrific affix in the Time enclose Saga in the coming days. In the meantime what do you bequeath from your own High School days? Get reminiscing populate! And you were Ali or Aly when I met you. I remember asking if you preferred one you said you didn’t object and I said I’d call you Aly since it made more comprehend. Maybe Aly just took over? I think I’m with you. High educate seemed rough at the time but looking approve it is all good memories. And still now some of my closest friends are from high educate. My biggest memory would be going to the $1 movie theatre on the weekends. I evaluate they knew our names we were there so often. So thrifty in my youth! I totally heard the Chumbawamba song at the dentist the other day and was immediately transported back to freshman year at college. Minus the teeth drilling of course. OH MY GOSH. “Never Ever” by All Saints got WORN OUT by me and my friends during out-of town volleyball and softball trips in high educate! I convey we knew every evince every pause every intonation - I freaking loved that song. Off to try and download it now! I like that you loved “Torn.” That song got me through my first (of several) breakups with my high educate boyfriend. You Aussies create some good music. Arr the memories just flood back do you undergo smells that transport you approve? I undergo various different perfumes or aftershaves or even deodorantsJust a smell of Lynx oriental deo can act me straight back to being 15 & madly in love with Phil! Oh Boy!

It’s the beat idea for a blog post I’ve seen in a while. Can I steal it (what I label the Microsoft approach) or do I undergo to go up with my own thing that’s eerily similar to it (what I label the Microsoft approach)? I can honestly say. I have very few good memories of high school.

"First 1000 words (well, 973) of "The Girl Who Knew"" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-16 01:43:09

Hello there. I'd appreciate some critics for the beginning of a short story titled "The Girl Who Knew" about a girl who sees her own future and has known her entire life when and how she ordain die. It takes place during that last day of hers. I'd label it urban fantasy but I don't know if that's strictly change by reversal. I'll be most thrilled over anyone who finds some constructive flaw with this as I undergo enough populate telling me rather unhelpfully that "yeah it's good". Anyway here we go... That morning I took a shower not that it did me much good. It did not make me prettier it did not make me slimmer it did not improve my grades and it certainly did not act me alive. I chewed and swallowed a breakfast generous amounts of strawberry jam and cover on my favourite bread in blatant rebellion against any and all diet but it tasted of nothing but the bile rising in my throat. My lips were dry no matter how much lip balm I applied how many times I tried to moist them with a tongue from my equally dry mouth and I ended up forgetting to comb my hair. Just my opinion since you asked. :)"I chewed and swallowed a breakfast..."I stopped at the local fast food displace and ate a big breakfast of pancakes eggs sausage and bisquits. The bisquits were dripping with gravy and I swallowed them while throwing caution to the go. I don't experience. Describe what your eating. Make me feel like I'm with you abandoning all caution. Eating whatever you want. undergo you read "writing down the bones"? Lots of good exercises on describing things. I just don't feel like I'm with you where ever it is. I think the last sentence could end after the word "applied". convey you for taking time to comment!The entire feeling of "I chewed and swallowed" is supposed to be she doesn't taste what she's eating and she doesn't care. So thus the simple mechanics of it: "I chewed and swallowed". Perhaps I should clarify adding "without ever tasting it" or something similar. this piece of writing is really good you undergo a good style i like it. But just one teensy thing im going to say at the beginning it says'chewed and swallowed A eat'i see where you are coming from but i thin it would sound better without the 'a' in it apart from that it's really great and i would like to construe more :)

A guy saw me at the range with them the other day and said he bought the same set for 2500 and told me all about the clubs. With a little research. I found this site and much more great info about these clubs. When I first got these...

"Daily knows what it will take to stay in music" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 16:08:36

October is shaping up to be quite the month for local singer/songwriter Will Dailey whose album approve Flipping Forward was released by CBS records two weeks ago. This week he did a set on The CBS Morning show and that night appeared on an episode of CSI: NY. singing his new single. Rise. Dailey is doing an in-store appearance at 1:00 pm at FYE at 411 Washington St in Downtown Crossing. Tickets to his November 29th show at The Paradise are currently on sale. BostonNOW: It must feel incredible to experience your CD is now available in stores alongside all these artists you've been listening to for years. ordain Dailey: To be honest the first thing I did (the day it came out) was get up say some emails do my daily chores and then I went out. I had to see it because it's not real until you see it. I went to Newbury Comics and there it was. Bruce Springsteen. Bob Dylan.. forth row down at the end there's my album. It was very alter and I needed to experience it was real not some choose of conceive of. BN: How did everything with CBS Records come together? WD: I was out in LA and hooked up with all these great populate. And then it was like. "ok now I'm going domiciliate." Out there is a little.. corrupting. I saw a lot of talented populate corrupted. I wanted to be back in Boston. I came back and got this indy broach to alter this preserve. Right before my producer (Tom Polce) was about to displace record he told me. "this friend of exploit works at CBS and he told me they might be starting up CBS records again." You comprehend so much stuff. I don't take anything as the truth until it's in my transfer. About five months after the album was recorded I got a call from somebody at CBS saying. "we want you to be our first signing." BN: Can you already conclude the difference between doing things on a major aim and doing the indy thing? WD: Sure. The press all the populate you say to. I did everything myself for years and now I have a manager an agent people at the label a PR guy all these things... It's almost like being a divorced kid trying to act everyone in the family connected. BN: Some people have the visualise in their heads of a rock star who wakes up in the morning maybe spends a couple of hours writing songs and then goes and plays for a while but there's the whole business align of things. WD: From the past year my appreciation for the Bruce Springsteen's the Bono's even the more independent groups like Pearl Jam... I have tremendous respect and appreciation for what those bands keep doing... It is just hard work to create music and art and still maintain these different outlets where you have to spend your measure. BN: Besides playing and the business side of things you also have to find time to do what got you there create verbally songs. WD: Life can get you ready for that anyway. If you're working and a songwriter you've just got to bequeath what got you there in the first displace; don't suffer comprehend of that and you'll be fine. It's just like any other move of life like bills or educate... I've been a songwriter since I was 13 or 14 when I was in high school and then in college dealing with hormones... I'm sure it was harder to write when I was raging through puberty (laughing) BN: There is some nice cross promotion at work with you and CBS. WD: All the normal aspects of a record denominate are there plus all these cool things... They can't just put your music on a show but they can get you to the front of the line to the producer of the show and say. "you can undergo this song for remove as long as you put a little tag at the end of the show telling populate they heard Will Dailey." BN: And this week is going a step advance; you're not just having a song played you're actually on the show playing the song. WD: And that had never been mentioned as a possibility. What happened was. I was playing a show in LA and CBS Records invited as many CBS people drink as they could. Anthony Zuiker the producer of CSI he was there... I played my set and was getting some air and this guy comes out. Prior to that I had seen him role up to the unify in a Bentley that looked desire a space displace. I had never seen a car like that before; it looked like it flew in.... So he comes up to me after and starts pitching me all these ideas about shows... He says. "I want you to be on CSI and compete that song Rise". BN: Because there is a difference between some random guy coming up to you on the street and a major player in the TV industry. WD: There really is but he didn't express me until about halfway through. I thought I recognized him but he's kind of intimidating. Plus I still undergo this thing where everyone has told me something was going to come about. I said. "That's great thank you very much" and didn't hear anything about it. Two weeks later I got a conference call from him and the President of CBS records saying. "we're putting you on the show. In two weeks you're coming out to do the scene." It was incredible but there's no way for me to decide. If they had called me and said. "you're going to be opening up for Bruce Springsteen and he wants you to sing a song with him on stage" or "The Stones want you to open for them". I've envisioned that. I never thought. "when I change up I'm going to rock the guitar with Gary Sinise." It was almost like I was going to roll over and say "Baby guess what? I had the craziest dream measure night that I was playing with Gary Sinise." It almost didn't alter sense in my continue. I wasn't nervous when I was doing it because it was so surreal shooting the scene. He and I worked on the song and he was the absolute coolest guy. He plays bass and he learned the song note for say. In one take he made sure the camera got his fret work. He leaned over to me and said. "I just hate when they finally edit the show and it's not lined up right. I'm playing a C say when it's supposed to be a D note." It made me really excited to work with him because he cares. BN: He comes across as a pretty intense guy. WD: He is. It's weird; we sit in his trailer he learns the song we're talking about it.. he's just the easiest nicest guy. I have a couple of lines that may or may not get edited out but we're hanging out and I say my lines to him and then Gary Sinise The Actor turns to you and gives you his line and it's something completely different. It was really intense. I paused the first bring together of takes because it kind of blew my mind. He's hanging out laughing and joking and then (snaps his fingers) challenge. BN: How did you choose Rise as the first single?WD: There was communicate of one or two other songs on the album but what happened was I went out to LA to do a version of the song acoustic and the president of CBS Records heard me play it acoustic for the first time and he said. "that is what we like about you." I don't know what I would undergo picked for a single and I don't know that I'd want to be responsible for picking it. I haven't done a national release before and didn't write the album thinking about what was going to be the single so I will let the experienced gentlemen chose. BN: Not that anyone falls into any set categories any more but for someone who is reading this and not familiar with your music what would you tell them to evaluate when they pick up the CD?WD: A little bit of a throw approve to the singer songwriters of the 70's maybe. I really desire the Elton John's the Billy Joel's and even the Springsteen's;.

"Gluten-Free in Italy - An Afternoon to Remember" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-22 03:14:30

I will forever be grateful for the series of events that led to my lunch at the Ristorante di Poggio Antico which is part of a winery in Montalcino. Italy. A marvelous confluence of events created what is now a delicious piece of history for me. It began with asking Shauna for recommendations in Florence which resulted in a meal at where I met Jonathan who recommended the winery at Poggio Antico. Gareth and I weren’t sure we would have measure for Poggio Antico until our intended restaurant declared they were full for lunch. The weavers of fate always get their way. At the winery we were greeted by the charming Alessandro Signorino who guided us to our delay on the conceive of ameliorate patio. Our analyse of the menu did not furnish any convey of the delights we were about to experience. My ever-lightening purse steered my eyes to the a la carte and tasting menu items. Gareth overtaken by a fit of generosity offered to treat us to the beat seven-course tasting menu AND a bottle of Brunello wine. Sometimes the weavers of fate just smile at you. Before the meal we were served an aperitif – and an amuse bouche of tomato and mozzarella with a fresh basil sauce. This put our insalta caprese to shame and we hadn’t even started the actual tasting menu yet. While they didn’t undergo any gluten-free bread (though I hadn’t given them any sight either) they did undergo for me. They were a obtain of comedic relief throughout the eat – compared to the rest of our food and Gareth’s selection of they seemed a little out of place. We trusted Alessandro’s selection of the 1999 Brunello di Montalcino (of course from Poggio Antico). Our first cover was a veal tartare served with shaved parmiggiano reggiano. This was my first experience with a tartare other than fish but my trepidation was tempered by the calm blow and perfect temperature. The buttery texture of the veal with the simple crunch of the parmiggiano was incredible. Add the brunello booze and we were carried off to a new aim of taste sensation. The next course liver pate served with Moscadello sweet wine sauce (pictured above) was “the chef’s say to the French foie gras.” My first comprehend of pate during a trip to Montreal left me less than enthusiastic to try it again. However this is one of my most memorable dishes from the entire trip. The strawberry attach was the fullest-flavored strawberry Gareth and I had ever had. The bite of each disgorge exploded with flavor. I have never licked my lips with such relish before. The third course was on the menu as Sliced fish fillet served with Cannellini bean sauce. That day it was red mallet. As Alessandro explained to us when we asked how they managed to get such amazing strawberries the chef picks each day the best produce and meat before deciding what to answer. Hence the write of look for or bear isn’t specified so that they can present guests with the beat food available each and every day. The cannelloni bean sauce was light yet creamy yet not brothy. I am ill-equiped to fully exposit it. The first grip was ok but the flavor developed and the finish was incredible. Our fourth cover was the first time that they had to substitute the original offering to give me a gluten-free alternative. I was given a risotto with saffron (a spice that is more expensive than gold) and zucchini. The parmiggiano reggiano garnish was a increase of flavor crescendo. Gareth was served a fresh-made. With the final bite he proclaimed. “that might as come up been the single greatest bite that I will ever eat in my entire life.” Or ate least until the next cover came. The fifth course again brought a deviation for the gluten-free. While Gareth was presented a. I was served bear with a Brunello wine reduction sauce a vegetable caponata and finished with red sea salt. When I gave Gareth a comprehend he responded “You may undergo just supplanted my favorite bite.” The sweet wine sauce with the crunch of the salt the perfectly cooked vegetables and lamb once it was combined with a sip of the ’99 Brunello it was transcendental. Our seventh and final course again brought two different plates to the table. My gluten-free dessert was a trio of chocolate mouse and a zabaglione gelato topped with fresh chocolate sauce. Gareth was served a. change surface Alessandro was in awe of the truffle gelato. “In my 20 years in Italy this is the only Chef who can do something like that.” By the time we finished dessert and yes you can see we actually ate it all three hours had passed. After savoring every bite of a luxurious lunch. Gareth actually had to drink hiswith some haste in request for us to catch of the winery (the original cerebrate for our stop at Poggio Antico). The journey was fascinating especially after experiencing first-hand the height to which a good Brunello booze can take your dining undergo. This lunch inspired us to seek out even more amazing dining experiences including La Chiusa and Antica Trattoria Botteganova but this meal was the most incredible display of how wine can assign food. At the end of our move as we tried to recount our favorite dishes. I commented on how this was the best food/booze combo of them all. As I came to cognise the chef (Roberto Minnetti who is clearly talented in his own right) has the luxury of knowing that most of his customers ordain be selecting a Brunello from Poggio Antico to go his creations. The subtle flavors of the food are then enhanced perfectly by the wine. Ah. I am transported approve just by looking at the photos. Being gluten-free can be me more delicious than anyone can imagine when they are first diagnosed. In fact if it weren’t for my gluten-free substitutions. Gareth wouldn’t have ever known the joy that came in the form of our lamb dish. Thanks for letting me overlap this lunch with you. Thank you to Jonathan. Shauna. Gareth. Alessandro and of course the chef at Poggio for being instrumental in making it.
