Playwright Kirsten Greenidge will be joining the Company One staff as a playwright-in-residence as part of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's National Playwright Residency Program (NPRP) — we are so thrilled!
The purpose of embedding residents into theaters of varying sizes and locales is to provide playwrights the time and space to write without distraction, to offer playwrights regular access to the theaters' extensive resources and to their artistic leaders, and to encourage institutional practices at theaters that are more inclusive of artists' ideas and needs. The expectation is that these arrangements will foster the creation and production of theatrically ambitious plays that lend themselves to more effective engagement with audiences and communities.
Both the Tonys and the Oscars recognize white artists by an overwhelming majority. Whites make up 95.5% of all Tony nominees, and 96.4% of all Oscar nominees, a difference of only .9% between them. This doesn't take into account when people were nominated, however – minority recognition is becoming more frequent as the years go on. The results also don't account for the Tonys starting two decades after the Oscars. But we did the math on that, too: if we ignore the first 20 years of Academy Awards, the numbers would be even closer together, with the Tonys being only .43% more diverse.
The Los Angeles County Arts Commission conducted a deep investigation into the cultural life of the Willowbrook neighborhood to develop an arts-related asset map and visioning document. They used this information to ensure the community's spirit was reflected in the county's ongoing capital and infrastructure improvements.
But the most important key to a sound technology practice is empathy. When you build things, you absolutely have to begin by thinking about real people and their real desires and needs…So, to the extent that you and your organizations are ready to practice technology with the organizations you serve—to build stuff, either for them or with them (and with them is almost always better)—you absolutely can't gear your practice around their organizational needs. You have to have actual human beings in mind. The things they care about. The tasks they want to accomplish on any given day. And, yes, their relationships.
An essay about August Wilson is up at The New Republic, as well as a link to the PBS American Masters documentary August Wilson: The Ground on Which I Stand, which aired recently to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Wilson's death.
The economic hardship and systemic racism suffered by African Americans were hardly the only subjects Wilson tackled. Seven Guitars deals with black manhood. In King Hedley II, set in the 1990s, actors, such as future Oscar nominee Viola Davis, powerfully brought women's reproductive choice into an African American arena. Wilson also delved into the paranormal in The Piano Lesson and Gem of the Ocean. In that way, the playwright perhaps helped us see aspects of our lives even we tried to erase.
A vital question was raised at the event: what might the theatre landscape look like if it were more relaxed, not occasionally, but all the time? Last summer, a Theatre Charter was proposed, detailing expected behaviour for the benefit of occasional theatregoers: no rustling sweet wrappers, no mobile phones, definitely no eating McDonald's. How much more inviting might theatres feel if they didn't just reject the snobbery embedded in such a charter, but offered a different manifesto, in which it was clear that all people – whatever their backgrounds, ages, physical or mental abilities – were welcome to see any performance, any day they wanted, together?


My son is five and a half months clean, still going strong in recovery, but still struggling to acquire the basics in life, what so many of us take for granted: stable housing, stable income, stable relationships.
He lives in a metal shed, what his friend calls "his guest house." It has a bed, a chair, a table, a refrigerator, and even a TV that plays two channels. Pretty comfy for a metal shed. But there's no plumbing. No kitchen. No insulation. No heat or air conditioning.
He showers at a local gym. He cooks on a hot plate and microwave oven. He has a portable heater and fan.
It's a step up, or a step down, depending on how you look at it. Before he moved here he was living in a motel room for $1350 a month. His shed is free, so he's able to start saving money again, and get caught up in child support payments. So that's a step up.
It's a step down because—well—it's a shed. And his girlfriend and son are no longer living with him. They've moved back to the shelter.
But he's still working, still going to AA meetings with his sponsor, still going to the counseling required by his Prop 36 program, still taking Methadone, and still dating his new girlfriend. He even has been able to see his daughter a couple of times since I last posted here. He's talked to a lawyer about getting visiting rights.
Life is good, considering he was at death's door only seven months ago when I started this blog: having been kicked out of rehab, living on the street, two overdoses within a week of each other, and another on my bathroom floor around this time last year.
So I'm happy and hopeful, and more importantly, so is he.
Life is good on the wobbly road to recovery.


Like and love are perhaps two words that have been most interchangeably used. It is not surprising to see couples saying that they like each other one minute, and then love the next. The interchanging of these two words has been so frequent, that quite often many people will equate like and love to be one and the same. However, in reality, like and love are two very different words. Here are the differences between like and love.
One of the differences between like and love is the scope of their meanings. While both like and love do pertain to positive feelings and perceptions towards people, places or even objects, the meaning of like is quite broad, and can be generic in its expression. Quite often, like is a term that is used when comparing two distinct, but similar objects or people. On the other hand, love is quite narrow, and often involves a deep sense of affection towards a particular person, place or object. This being the case, a person who loves another person, place or object, does not often find himself or herself comparing between similar individuals or objects, but rather between more distinct individuals or objects.
Another difference is the investment given by a particular individual. When a person likes something or someone, this is often based on what is immediately seen. As such, the basis of liking something or someone can be rather superficial, and can be felt within a short period of time. On the other hand, a person who loves a person, place or object has invested quite a lot of time with the subject. In effect, love is developed over a longer period of time. In the case between two people, love often develops after spending considerable amount of time with a particular individual.
Finally, there is the level of intimacy. As a person can like another person quite quickly, the relationship can be also considered as new and shallow. That being the case, a person who likes someone can easily change his or her mind within a short period of time, without any regret or ill feelings. On the other hand, because there is more investment given when a person loves someone, the relationship between two individuals can be quite deep. As a result, people who are in this kind of relationship do not just simply change partners. In the event that the relationship ends, the parting can be quite painful, and may take quite a long time for one or both persons to stop feeling love towards the other person.
1. Like and love are emotions that are commonly felt by a person towards another person.
2. Like is mostly based on what is immediately seen, causing the reason for liking another person to be rather superficial. Love, on the other hand, develops over a longer period of time spent between two people.
3. A person who merely likes a person can easily change his or her mind without much ill feeling. On the other hand, a person who loves another person will often have a long term relationship with that person, and may experience hurt and pain should the relationship end.

Getting info out in Spanish
Locations: News By James Steindler Published Mar. 25, 2020
This time in our history casts a hue of uncertainty over everyone. It may be especially confusing for those who do not understand the language the information is given in.
Spanish-speaking members of our community do their best to stay informed but the information being spread locally is often only offered in English.
As is the case for everyone, getting factual information about the virus is of utmost importance. Paulina Navas and John Lopez with America's Chamber of Commerce (ACC), a local chamber catered to the Latine community, encourage Spanish speakers to refer to the CDC website for translated information regarding COVID 19.They further notice that Latine businesses and individuals are monitoring KDNK radio's website for updates in Spanish as well.
There has been a rapid communal response to assist people more vulnerable to the virus. Facebook groups such as Carbondale CO Mutual Aid Group (CMA) sprung up overnight and are connecting people in need with those willing to help.There have been requests on the CMA page that their posts be translated.
Another group, Coronavirus Community Aid Aspen to Parachute Community Help/Ayuda Comunitaria, arose to meet the informational needs of Spanish speaking locals. Each of the posts on that page includes the option of being translated; a feature offered by Facebook.
On social media ACC has started trending the hashtag #solosperdemosjuntosganamos which basically translates to: "alone we lose together we win" signifying the necessity for everyone to do their part.
Navas explains that social media is a great tool to get the word out but worries about disseminating information to older Latine persons. She says, "The problem is that our older community doesn't use social media; they don't know about social media." She hopes that there will be other means of coverage in Spanish in sources such as newspapers and news broadcasts to reach this group.
As far as businesses are concerned, to Navas, "It doesn't matter if they are not a part of America's Chamber of Commerce. At this moment it is most important to help our community and try to overcome this crisis."
According to Navas and Lopez, many people in the hospitality and cleaning industries opted early on to stay home and not travel upvalley for work.
They also mentioned that some businesses such as Fiesta Guadalejara in Glenwood Springs are selling overstocked disinfectants and cleaning supplies below market costs to people in need.
The duo believe at this point the Latine business community overall is more concerned with public and personal health.
Local governments are doing their best to get out informational updates but it is not consistently offered in Spanish. That said, the Town of Carbondale's website does have a multilingual translation tool. Sally Boughton with Valley Settlement in Carbondale notes that Eagle County is posting informational videos and text regarding COVID 19 in Spanish. Boughton explains, "I think it's really important that our county governments are getting information out there in English and Spanish… only getting information out in English is going to hurt us in the long run."
According to Boughton, Eagle County Communications has convened "The COVID 19 LatinX Outreach Group," which is made up of approximately 50 representatives from various agencies in Eagle and Vail Valley but also includes participants from the Roaring Fork Valley. Those agencies then dispense their collective information and resources to the Spanish speaking communities each are connected with. Boughton reiterates that "a lot of the resources are relevant for folks in the Roaring Fork Valley as well."
Editor's note: We're experimenting with Latine as an easier to pronounce, pluralize and conjugate alternative to Latinx.
It takes community support to keep The Sopris Sun shining.

No matter your age, living in a green space and tending plants has many benefits. It reduces stress, improves one's mood and provides a sense of emotional well being. Planting seeds and watching them grow generates feelings of hope. It it's edible, even better. Indoor herb and vegetable gardens provide fresh, nutritious food to harvest and enjoy.
Match the plants to the light conditions and the recipient's gardening skills. Succulents are trendy and perfect for busy gardeners with sunny windows or grow light setups. They thrive with benign neglect; as do snake plants, Chinese evergreens, Anthuriums and ZZ plants in low light conditions. Orchids and bonsai make the perfect gift for those ready to take their indoor gardening to the next level. For the most fool proof winter option, gift an amaryllis or paperwhite bulb kit.


The first step to receive is the same signing up on the online websites to get the Authorization Code and it does not have a certain cost and each service provider receives some cost for it varied from 35 to 100 Euros and it depends on your luck! The second step is getting the visa stamp from Iranian Embassy that depends on your nationality and costs about 40 to 70 Euros and it is paid to the embassy. Of course, these all are approximate. In total, it does not cost too much; do not worry.


Our hosted reconciliation solution combines an innovative technology platform and outsourced services to help banks eliminate upfront capital investment and reduce cost of ownership for the reconciliation process by 35-40%.
Financial instruments and transactions are getting increasingly complex. Escalating transaction volumes and changing market conditions have put pressure on financial institutions to perform faster reconciliations to meet market demands for accurate, real-time reconciliation regardless of volume levels. Improper or delayed reconciliations can result in finance irregularities and impact statutory and regulatory compliance. To meet these challenges, financial institutions must address both business and technology factors such as decentralized operations, aged open items, non-standard file formats and data, multiple systems, and a continued prevalence of manual processing.
To meet these market challenges, financial institutions must consolidate business functions in silos and implement an integrated technology and operations approach for end-to-end process of reconciliations. An integrated approach provides better control, monitoring and adherence; increases operational efficiency and optimizes costs; improves risk and compliance management; and supports better decision making and error resolution.

Fallen aviator remembered by family
Tim Friese (left) and Ervan Gould stand beside the gravestone rubbing created in honour of Gould's uncle, F/Lt Frank Dotten. Photo by Lane Farguson, Manager Media Relations and Communication, Halifax Port Authority
Virginia Beaton
Trident Newspaper
Flight Lieutenant Frank Dotten was just 22 years old when his plane crashed during a bombing run over Nuremberg on March 17, 1945, killing him. He was buried at the Durnbach War Cemetery, a little known fact for current day family members.
It took some historical sleuthing to discover his burial site, but on Nov. 7 it paid off. Ervan Gould, F/Lt Dotten's nephew, received a framed gravestone rubbing from the gravesite of the uncle he never had the chance to meet.
"We made this happen," said Tim Friese, a colleague and friend of Gould during a presentation held in the gallery of the Halifax Seaport farmers Market.
Friese, a history buff who volunteers with the Canadian Naval Memorial Trust and The Memory Project, researched the location of the grave with help from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, 576 Squadron of the Royal Air Force, and a business owner who lived near the Durnbach War Cemetery.
The business owner made the gravestone rubbing and mailed it to Friese, who then had it framed for the presentation.
Gould, together with a group of friends from Halifax Port Authority, watched as Friese showed a series of photos and documents depicting F/Lt Dotten's military career.
Among them was a record that indicated all the sorties F/Lt Dotten had flown, a photo of him from November 1944 with his crew from 576 Squadron, and a photo from the visitation book at the cemetery that showed where a local resident signed the book for Ervan Gould in honour of the occasion.
After the event, Gould said he was completely surprised to receive the gravesite rubbing as a memento. "I didn't know why or what to expect," he said.
Gould grew up hearing stories about his uncle. F/Lt Dotten was a native of Hants County, Nova Scotia. He joined the RCAF during the war and was flying with 576 Squadron of the Royal Air Force when he was killed. It was a shattering experience for his family, he noted.

"My grandfather had joined the Canadian Army during the First World War. He was only 17 but he lied about his age to get in. He never talked about his war experiences."
Nobody in Gould's family was ever able to visit the cemetery in Germany where F/Lt Dotten was buried, which was a source of sadness, said Gould.
"My uncle's name is on the headstone of my grandparent's graves in Selma, in Hants County."
Now that Gould has the framed headstone from his uncle's final resting place, he says, "I will appreciate this for the rest of my life."

The price of bitcoin fell by 20% after troubled Tokyo exchange Mt Gox tried to explain why a temporary ban on bitcoin withdrawals imposed last week remains in effect.
Mt Gox staff urged users to remember bitcoin "is a very new technology and still very much in its early stages" and insisted the technical problems would be resolved shortly, although no estimate was given as to when this will happen.
The exchange claims a bug in the way bitcoin is coded is to blame for the ban on withdrawals. "A bug in the bitcoin software makes it possible for someone to use the bitcoin network to alter transaction details to make it seem like a sending of bitcoins to a bitcoin wallet did not occur when in fact it did occur."
Mt Gox added: "Since the transaction appears as if it has not proceeded correctly, the bitcoins may be resent. My Gox is working with the bitcoin core development team and others to mitigate the issue."
Having previously thought Mt Gox's withdrawal ban was because the exchange was encountering liquidity problems leaving it unable to fulfill users' requests, members of the BitcoinTalk forums now believe either the exchange is lying, or a genuine shortfall in bitcoin's construction has been discovered.
Some claim Mt Gox has done the right thing by revealing the problem, while others claim that - if true - the claim should have been made directly to the Bitcoin Foundation and not publicly disclosed, where it will prompt widespread panic-selling.
At the time of publication, bitcoin had fallen as low as $554, its lowest point since mid-November, and less than half the $1,200 high of early December.
Forum user Rannasha offered an explanation for the problem Mt Gox claims to have discovered: "The flaw isn't so much in bitcoin as it is in exchange systems. Many exchanges use the tx-id [transaction identifier] to uniquely identify transactions, but as it turns out, an attacker can change the tx-id without changing the actual transaction, rebroadcasting the changed transaction (effectively creating a double-spend)...the attacker receives his coins and can complain with the exchange that he didn't."

DUCKS LEAD ALL MLB PARTNER LEAGUES IN ATTENDANCE, FINISH WITH BEST RECORD
(Central Islip, N.Y., Oct. 10, 2021) – Following a 20-month shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Long Island Ducks began the 2021 season looking to regain the form enjoyed through their first 20 seasons, where the club led the league in attendance 14 times, won four championships, and welcomed 8 million fans to the ballpark. On Sunday, the team completed what could only be described as a comeback season for the ages. Long Island completed the 2021 regular season with the Atlantic League's best record (68-52), while leading all MLB Partner League teams in total and average attendance for the season.
Major League Baseball designated over 40 minor league clubs operating throughout the United States and Canada as MLB Partner League clubs prior to 2021. These teams operate in the Atlantic League, American Association, Frontier League and Pioneer League. The Ducks welcomed 224,120 fans in 56 openings, an average of 4,002 per game in 2021. Both the gross attendance, as well the average per game, placed the Ducks atop any club in any MLB Partner League.
"There are a lot of great operators, teams and markets in the Partner League universe," said Ducks President/GM Michael Pfaff. "To be winners on the field and off, after all we have been through, is a tribute to the support of our fans. Our ownership, staff, players and coaches are all incredibly appreciative and proud to be part of what was a very special comeback season as we got back to Fun in '21."
The Ducks accomplished the feat despite strict capacity restrictions being in place through mid-June. Following restrictions being lifted, the Ducks welcomed their first 2021 sellout on July 4, as over 7,000 fans packed into 6,002-seat Fairfield Properties Ballpark. The largest crowd of the season (7,101) entered the gates August 14. Since beginning play in 2000, the Ducks have welcomed 8,299,545 fans and 691 sellout crowds – both league records.
The Long Island Ducks are members of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, a Professional Partner League of Major League Baseball, and play their home games at Fairfield Properties Ballpark. For further information, visit LIDucks.com or call (631) 940-DUCK (3825).

One thing I hear all the time when we start a photography workshop is "I want to learn how to add people in my photos". It is not unusual to be uncomfortable taking photos of total strangers, whether it is a simple case of shyness or not knowing how to approach someone you want to photograph because of language barrier.
The other thing is that with privacy laws coming up everywhere, it is also becoming more challenging to photograph people or street scenes without getting into trouble. With some patience and practice, you can include people in your photos, keep them anonymous and yet not loose the impact they bring to the image.
The first point to recognize is that people are part of the image composition; it is a balacing act between the scene (or the background) and the human element in that scene - they support each other making a whole. It is not about the facial expression or features of the person (this would be a portrait), but about the dynamic tension they create in the photo.
Photography is about light and waiting for the moment. When you discover a spot for an image, first observe how people move in the scene, visualize what you are looking for. Frame the place, check the camera settings, take a couple of test shots to make sure everything in where it should be and then... wait. Wait for the moment to happen, for someone to come along.
Careful composition and waiting for the right person to walk in the image is key, requires time, patience and a dab of luck! Here are some 8 ideas to get you started.
Without anyone in an image, it can be difficult to appreaciate the size of a place. Here, the horse and rider bring life and scale to the Moroccan dwellings in the background, yet the distance between them and the camera makes it possible to gain the necessary balance in the photo, without making the rider the main subject.
When facing the sun with the camera, you not only have great backlight, but you also create great people silhouettes and keep the passersby anonymous, such as the one in the Italian street above.
Against the dark cement blocks of the Jewish memorial in Berlin, someone walking by was a welcome addition and the human element becomes more powerful than capturing a face.
By capturing reflections, you not only include a passersby in your image, but you also create an intriguing image. This has the added advantage of everyone ignoring you and your camera as you point down at the ground rather than directly at people.
On a rainy day, umbrellas pop out and faces disappear. Another perfect ocasion to capture life in the streets keeping people anonymous.
Here, the ball in mid air, the young girl's movement and the accompanying shadow are far more important than catching her face.
By intentionally blurring the image, faces disappear. Here, zooming in while releasing the shutter created intentional blur which makes the passerby unrecognizable.
Shadows make a mirror effect which can bring interest. Here the shadow of the couple holding hands is actually stronger than the couple itself.
With some practice, you will soon see many occasions to create images that include people without being in their face or breaking privacy laws. Don't be shy and share with us your own photos using creative ways to include people.


Gnome and Reader Alert: Some of the information on this page is out of date, due to the fact that recreational use of cannabis has only been legal for adults over 21 years of age in Davis since 2016. It would be great if you'd help the community by editing and updating this page!
Cannabis, often called marijuana, is an annual flowering plant and the derived products of the plant. Related to hops, it has quite a few names including weed, pot, and ganja. When discussed within a scientific or legal context, cannabis is the generally accepted term.
The City of Davis has a website that explains the local laws and regulations. The city includes an additional 10% tax on all non-medical cannabis businesses.
Davis had a moratorium on cannabis retailers until July 4, 2017. Prior to that time there were recreational delivery services to Davis from places like Sacramento. The city then began passing a series of resolutions to plan the infrastructure for Davis' own commercial cannabis businesses. Since then, a series of licenses were granted to both storefronts and delivery services based in Davis. The first cannabis storefront in Davis opened on September 14, 2018.
Some think that this substance is one of the cornerstones of Davis life and culture and that if Davis wasn't so full of good grass then it would be full of a lot of bored and angry college kids. Others disagree and think it is the scourge of the earth. Some Davisites also believe that cannabis is a gateway drug ... to awesomeness. Of course, its nickname "demon weed" also points to others blaming it for quite a bit of sadness and pain. Folks that smoke a ton of weed are commonly referred to as stoners or potheads.
Many of the laws and enforcement standards at local, state, and federal levels have undergone a significant overhaul in the 21st century, initially lowering penalties, and then slowly granting more legal use.
In 2016, California voters approved recreational use for adults through Proposition 64. Medical Marijuana laws are also in effect and can be found here. Even though there are medical marijuana laws in California, the U.S. still classifies marijuana as a schedule 1 drug and sometimes enforces over California laws, including for medical marijuana. 420 Relief, now out of business, was a place in Davis where marijuana cards could be obtained by qualifying patients in order to have legal medical access.
Former Davis City Code that banned Dispensaries - 40.26.275: Prohibition of Medical Marijuana Dispensaries. Medical marijuana dispensaries are prohibited in all zoning districts, including without limitation to all planned development districts. The city adopted this ordinance because of the conflict between federal and state law on medical marijuana.
In 2010, possession of an ounce or less was downgraded from a misdemeanor to an infraction. In effect, this means that the consequences of getting caught with a moderate amount of pot were no greater than if you were to receive a mild traffic citation. All that lingers was the $100 fine, although the matter is public record and could show up in a background check.
Previously, Proposition 36 passed in 2000 which made the penalties for possession of marijuana much lighter. Possession of an ounce (28.5 grams) or less was no longer an offense for which you could be arrested. It became a misdemeanor punishable by a $100 fine with no jail time. The court could also take away your driver license for up to a year. Possession of paraphernalia was punishable by a civil fine of $200-300 for the first offense, more for subsequent offenses. Penalties for the sale and cultivation of marijuana are much greater.
—R.I.P. Hunter, you will be missed.
NIDA Factsheet - Supposedly Marijuana depresses the immune system, increases the chance of heart attack by eight times, etc.
Marijuana Anonymous For those who find that their use is out of their control and affecting their lives, Marijuana Anonymous (MA) is available. MA is a 12 Step program guided by the 12 Traditions. A belief in a "higher power" is suggested but not mandated: only "a desire to stop using marijuana" is needed.
Other Recovery Options Other recovery options include medical treatment (talk to your physician!), LifeRing, SMART Recovery and other 12 step programs with a "general consumer" scope, such as Narcotics Anonymous or Cocaine Anonymous which welcome potheads. All have online information, chat, and meetings and other help for those who have lost control over their use. Many churches have 12 Step programs that don't follow the 12 Traditions.
National Academy of Sciences Report - Points out several health problems associated with smoking marijuana, and presents a case for medical use (and prompts for research on how to get the medical effects without the side effect of getting high).
I would suggest getting caught by the police rather than your mother. They really are much easier on you.
If you have more than 1 ounce and are not medical you could get get charged with a misdemeanor. Possession with intent to sell any amount of marijuana is a felony. If you are driving, and the cops find weed in your car, you will probably get a DWI if you are acting stoned. However, there is no test for being under the influence of marijuana and therefore if you act normal its very hard to prove. Beware that cops are more likely to hassle you in a vehicle than when you are walking around with them, so keep it in the trunk.
Warning: If you find yourself in a legal situation, I suggest you do not rely on me or Daviswiki, neither of which takes any responsibility for you. If you are charged with a crime, find yourself a lawyer.
Aggie article about Yolo County's medical marijuana program.
You just gotta know where, and who.
There are several dispensaries and delivery services in Davis. You can find a list of delivery services in Davis at http://www.weedmaps.com. A list of California dispensaries outside of Yolo County is hosted at canorml.org.
A show that airs on Davis' own KDRT is http://CulturalBaggage.org which is hosted by an ex-cop who often interviews Law Enforcement Against Prohibition.. (current officers, many).
Another show not to miss is web-only (or iPhone App?) as for Davisites: http://expertwitnessradio.org which airs over WBAI.org and is hosted by DEA-turned-whistleblower Mike Levine.
Not sure if it's in print anymore, but someone can look up and please link up the book stuffed with facts called "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" on cannabis issues specifically.
I actually did hear a science report on a shortwave (wrn.org) broadcast (radionetherlands perhaps?) correlating daily pot smoking with dimentia as subjects got into middle age.
I'm told smoking the seeds causes impotence (the chemical that causes this is concentrated there).
That study is fairly flawed when applied to most 'weekend' or casual users. The problem with that is that they way they defined marijuana users was people who smoked roughly twice a day on a continual basis. Anyone doing that much of anything will be come impotent.
Most medical experts agree that smoking cannabis in itself does not cause mental illness, but that people who are predisposed to psychosis are much more likely to develop symptoms if they use the drug regularly.
Nothing about legality mentioned here.
Steven, I'm not familiar with the relation of cilia to the destruction of throat/lungs, but if you google: 2006 "lung cancer" marijuana, you'll find that there was a study done at UCLA last year showing NO LINK between lung cancer and smoking marijuana. they actually think the THC fights against lung cancer!! smoking tobacco, however, did show there to be a link to lung cancer. (articles: Washington Post, Science Daily, Fox News) "People who smoke marijuana—even heavy, long-term marijuana users—do not appear to be at increased risk of developing lung cancer. Marijuana smoking also did not appear to increase the risk of head and neck cancers, such as cancer of the tongue, mouth, throat, or esophagus, the study found."


Optional toppings: jalapeno slices, Mexican cheese crumbles, pico de gallo, etc.
Mix together the spice rub for the fish; use all of it to rub all over the surface of the fish, both sides. Allow fish fillets to set for about 15 minutes with the rub on it, then place the fillets on a baking sheet you have coated with cooking spray.
Bake the fish at 425 degrees, until fish is done and flesh will flake easily.
Removed the pan from the oven and cut the fish into bite-size pieces.
Fill a warm corn tortilla shell with some of the fish, top with some of the slaw, and serve with any additional toppings you wish (we didn't add anything since it was so flavorful on its own).
Hi Krumcake! Please add this wonderful recipe to the "I Made It" group! We like to keep track of recipes made by others:) Thanks!


The owner of Airgate Mall, formerly known as Taj Mall, has come out to address speculation that the controversial building is owned by Deputy President William Ruto.
Former Nairobi Senatorial aspirant and businessman Ramesh Gorasia dismissed the claims asserting that Ruto held no stake in the shopping complex.
"Ruto has zero shares. I can show you the title. I'm the owner of Taj Mall," he told The Star.
The mall is said to sit on a road reserve and was the subject of a protracted court battle during construction of Outer Ring road.
Gorasia maintained that he acquired the land legally, rubbishing allegations that the mall sits on public land.
He argued that he acquired 1.75 acres in 1991 and two acres in 1995 in Embakasi from Abuja Limited.
National Lands Commission [NLC] Chair Muhammad Swazuri had in 2017 revealed that the government undertook compulsory acquisition of part of the land in the 1960s for road expansion.
Gorasia called for the government to target state officials who issued approvals before bringing down buildings.
"Before demolitions, the state should arrest and charge people who approved construction of the buildings. Those who issued the title deeds should be responsible.
"If a mistake has been done, let them divert the river, instead of demolishing a building worth billions that authorities have approved," he stated.


Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) strikes again, and is severely affecting pork prices. From last April to this March, the virus has been transmitted across 25 states and killed millions of young pigs. PEDV results in diarrhea and vomiting and is only deadly for young pigs—the virus isn't harmful to human health or food safety.
The lack of pork is driving hog futures up, just in time for pork's biggest selling season; summer. Analysts believe that traders might be putting too much significance on the virus—production hasn't suffered any huge losses yet this year. However, in order to counterbalance any loss and make more money, pig farmers have been selling hogs at heavier weights, which could also help bolster our pork provisions. According to federal data, this year's supply is on par with, or perhaps marginally higher, than last year's weekly figures.
This February, the US Department of Agriculture reported it's prediction for total US pork production as 23.4 billion pounds, 160 million pounds less than US production in 2013, indicating the virus as the main reason for the loss. Since farms aren't required to inform federal regulators about total deaths, the magnitude of PEDV is unknown.
At the end of 2013, 1,998 cases had been reported; by February 16, around 3,856 cases had been reported. Since January, three states were also added to the list of those affected, totaling in 25. The USDA predicts that US pork prices will jump 2-3% in 2014, a 0.9% increase from 2013.

Is the House of Commons ready for a manager?


text:
Fans of the very brutal, early 90s Scandinavian Death Metal in general and bands like ABHORRENCE, DEMILICH, GRAVE, DEMIGOD, FUNEBRE, CREMATORY or TRAUMATIC in particular should definitely make sure to add the new album by American oldschool Deathers FUNEBRARUM to their shopping list as it perfectly recaptures the atmosphere and brutality of those acts. "The Sleep Of Morbid Dreams" takes you back in time, on a journey to the more glorious days of Death Metal, when bands were still promoting themselves through xeroxed flyers and cassette demos, spending ridiculous amounts of money on postage to get their name out worldwide. The following interview was originally planned with FUNEBRARUM's vocalist Daryl Kahan, but due to lack of time, most parts of it got answered by guitarist Nick Orlando in the end (with Daryl adding a few answers here and there nevertheless). Read on and enjoy…
FUNEBRARUM was formed exactly ten years ago (in April 1999) by yourself, Daryl, and guitarist Nick Orlando and according to your bio both of you have been playing in various bands besides FUNEBRARUM already… So, could you tell us a bit more about those activities, like when exactly you two played with EVOKEN, FUNEREUS, ASMODEUS, PUTRIFACT, DISMA, CITIZENS ARREST, ABAZAGORATH and ASSUCK, if those bands still exist these days and why it didn't work out with them for you?
Nick: "Well, I am Nick Orlando… so I will do my best with the bands that didn't actually include me you've mentioned. I started playing originally in Putrifact back in 1990 / 91. I guess you could call them my first real band, even though they were never more than a basement band who put out one 7" in their entire history. Funereus was Evoken back in 1992 when we first formed. By 1993, we had already changed our name to Asmodeus. Then, we found out there was another band by that same name from Norway so in 1994 we became Evoken. Both sound nothing like modern-day Evoken. Daryl was in Citizens Arrest. They were a legendary NYC Hardcore / Punk band from the late 80s / early 90s. Very influential stuff. Abazagorath is both David & Daryl's band currently along with FUNEBRARUM. They are one of the top USBM bands and also one of the oldest. He also toured with Assuck back in the 90s as their vocalist. DISMA is another band Daryl is in along with FUNEBRARUM drummer Shawn and ex Incantation guitarist Bill Venner. Heavy-duty Death Netal stuff. I think that explains it all."
The first FUNEBRARUM line-up also featured drummer Dario Derna, who used to be part of ABAZAGORATH and EVOKEN as well, so was FUNEBRARUM originally just a side-project for the three of you maybe?
Nick: "I think it's unfortunate but most of FUNEBRARUM's career has been in side project status. Dario did help out on the 1st demo but I don't think I ever considered him to be a full time member of the band. I had known even then that his plans were to eventually move back to Seattle once he had finished college, which is on the west coast of the U.S. and about 3,000 miles away. When we started the band, I think we both wanted it to become full time, but other bands and busy schedules prevented that from happening… and then the whole drummer problem pretty much put us out of commision for 3-4 years."
In July 1999 you recorded 3 songs at Dungeon Studio that ended up becoming your debut demo "Triumphant Ascent": 'The Depths Of Misery', 'Kingdom Of Suffering Souls' and 'Abandoned Gods'… Were those 3 songs the only tracks you had finished at the time or were they the ones you simply felt most confident about?
Nick: "At the time, they were the only songs we had completed. We had some other unfinished material compiled from the few years before that but it was just a bunch of riffs…not actual songs. Dungeon studios is not an actual recording studio. We recorded the drums live in a rehearsal room with me playing a scratch guitar track, then we did everything else either in Dario's cramped dorm room or at Daryl & Dave's house. It was all done on his portable 8 track recorder. We could've waited to get more songs completed, but with Dario leaving and with noone in NJ playing this type of music, we knew it would've been next to impossible to find a drummer and get the demo out."
Tell us a bit more about these songs and the demo in general… Were you satisfied how the demo turned out musically and soundwise? Did you send out many copies of it for promotion and was it officially on sale?
Nick: "I think we were all pretty satisfied at the end result soundwise-especially since you couldn't get any more of a low budget recording then what we had churned out. Of course, musically it was primitive as hell but it was our first release and the first step in creating the FUNEBRARUM sound. I do still listen to it occasionally…and the crudeness and rawness still impresses me even now. Its got a sound that gnaws deep down into your bones…which is fucking great!!!!! It does seem like we were stuck in the mud, however, because most of the tempos seem a bit sluggish. As for the amount of copies, I doubt there are more than 50-100 or so out there. I'm not sure if it was ever officially on sale though. I think most of the copies that are circulationg out there were sent more for promotional purposes so it is pretty rare."
When exactly did David Wagner and Brian Jimenez join the band on bass and drums respectively and what happened to Dario? David was also part of ABAZAGORATH, wasn't he? So, is FUNEBRARUM basically the Death Metal outlet of the members of ABAZAGORATH?
Nick: "I think of FUNEBRARUM as its own entity…not just a Death Metal side project of Abazagorath or Evoken members. It wasn't meant to be that way when we formed the band even though that's what it wound up being. Originally, when we recorded the 1st demo it was just me & Daryl. Dario, who was also in Evoken & Abazagorath at the time, was helping us out on drums just for the demo. He was already in 2 other bands plus going to college, so he really didn't have the time to be in FUNEBRARUM full time. He moved back to Seattle shortly thereafter anyway. David Wagner joined up directly after we recorded the first demo (I played guitar & bass for the 1st demo). Yes, David was in Abazagorath too. Brian Jimenez joined a few months later, not too long before we recorded the 2nd demo in 2000."
In October / November 2000 you recorded your second demo "Tombs Of Sleeping Darkness"… this time at Off Stage Studios… Why didn't you return to Dungeon Studio?
Nick: "Because Dungeon studios wasn't actually a real, physical studio. We were actually rehearsing at Offstage and knew the engineer that worked in the recording studio. They were inexpensive and let us go way over the amount of time we actually paid for, which helped quite a bit. It was much easier to work with Ed (Kleyner) then try to find some other studio who would be tight with time and give us a shitty result anyway. Ed had already done a few heavier bands, so we felt he could handle our type of music. The last thing we wanted to have to deal with was an engineer who had no idea what death metal was. That road usually leads to alot of problems and disappointment."
The lyrics to 'Adoration Of Abscessed Cadavers' were written by former ABHORRENCE vocalist Jukka Kolehmainen… From what I recall you're quite a big fan of ABHORRENCE, so how did you hook up with him and was it an honour for you working with him?
Daryl: "Jukka and I were in contact in 1999 or so when I asked him if he had any old lyrics he could sent us. Being the cool guy he is he sent a few lyrics including "Adoration…" which we used on our first album / MCD. I am still in touch with Jukka today. We chat online occassionally. He is a Dad now and still writes for a big Metal magazine in Finland. He is also a huge doom and psych fanatic. Nick and I have been listening to Abhorrence since we were teenagers. We still do but maybe not as much nowadays. The power never dies with bands like Abhorrence. One of the sickest bands ever to be unleashed upon mankind."
In July 2002 that particular demo ended up becoming your debut full length "Beneath The Columns Of Abandoned Gods", because New Jersey's Necroharmonic Productions released a remixed and remastered version of it on CD… Did Roy (Fox – head of Necroharmonic Productions) convince you to do that because he believed in that demo so much or was the material intended to be an album release in the first place already anyway?
Nick: "Roy is a mutual friend of ours and really liked the material we had on the demo… so he decided that we should give it a proper release on his own label. Being that it would be too much to go in and completely record everything over again, he gave us a small budget to remix and remaster the songs so they would be good enough quality for an official release. I think that if Roy had not given us that extra push at the time, the band might've eventually folded. He really went out of his way yo support the band when we really needed it so he will always be well regarded in my book."
In 2008 it got re-released once again by Nuclear War Now! Productions… this time as two very special vinyl editions… The regular edition also features the tracks from 2003's "Dormant Hallucination" 7"EP as a bonus, while the die hard edition furthermore comes up with a bonus record that features the 3 songs off your "Triumphant Ascent" demo plus a 2 song studio rehearsal ('Tombs Of Sleeping Darkness' and 'Incineration Of Mortal Flesh')… Tell us a bit more about these two releases. Who came up with all the featured extras? Were those vinyl editions limited in any way?
Daryl: "I designed and put together both versions of our LP for NWN. They did a great job with the printing and the extras (minus the cover alterations), besides that we are all very pleased with NWN and the result. I believe the "die-hard" edition was limited to 500 copies. The rehearsal tracks heard on the bonus LP were taken from an old tape. We will be featuring more remastered tracks from this session plus others on an exclusive CD release on Obliteration Records (Japan)."
What about that studio rehearsal? The songs never made it on any other official FUNEBRARUM release so far – how come?
Nick: "Actually, 'Incineration Of Mortal Flesh' is on the new album. I don't think we have any other completed songs lying around at this point that have not seen the light of day on an official FUNEBRARUM release. Well… other than 'Abandoned Gods' from the 1st demo. We've done the whole 'rehash songs for new releases' thing one too many times already so from now on, releases will have all new material (unless there's a cover track!)."
Shortly after the album's release your drummer Brian left the band… what happened? Did you have any personal or musical differences or something? From what I understood this was a major setback for FUNEBRARUM, wasn't it? Is it that difficult to find likeminded drummers in your area?
Nick: "Brian was a really cool guy… but he was very young and impatient at the time and thought we should've been touring and doing all this crazy shit already even though we only had one demo out at that point. I think he was a bit disillusioned with the whole underground band thing and didn't quite realize that things were not going to explode overnight for the band. I also think that because we were all in other bands at the time, he felt we weren't serious enough about FUNEBRARUM. Well obviously, that was not accurate. Then, he got into an argument with Daryl over something totally irrelevant and that was it. He was gone. We all had our other full-time bands, so I can understand his desire to move on to something more stable and permanent for himself. Of course, this is my opinion on what happened and I'm sure his take on it would be different. I still talk to him every now and then, and consider him a friend. I know he was in a couple of bands after FUNEBRARUM but i'm not sure he's currently doing anything musically, which is a shame. I really had no problems with him other than the fact that his departure really left us crippled for a long time. Drummers are next to impossible to find in this area…and pretty much anywhere else for that matter. Finding any musician into this type of music is rare enough…let alone finding a drummer into it."
How did you finally hook up with session drummer Justin DeTorre in 2003 with whom you re-recorded 2 tracks from your debut album ('Dormant Hallucination' and 'Adoration Of Abscessed Cadavers) for the "Dormant Hallucination" 7" EP on Midnight 666 Records… Did Wes' idea to release this 7" have any input in getting the band back on track again? Why did you just re-record older material at the time? You also could've recorded 'Tombs Of Sleeping Darkness' and 'Incineration Of Mortal Flesh' properly instead…
Nick: "Daryl knew Justin from a previous collaboration in Daryl's post Citizens Arrest band, Taste Of Fear. He briefly played drums for them back in 2003. I still think he was a (pagan) saviour for us and came out of nowhere to save the band from the brink of obscurity. I'm not sure what Wes's motives at the time were, however I do know that he understood we were having some trouble keeping the band afloat without a drummer for so long. We wanted to capitalize on the small amount of momentum Roy gave us by releasing "Beneath The Columns…" and keep the band name in active status and in people's minds. However, the drummer thing really almost cost us getting a chance to record with Kam Lee's band at the time…Cadaverizer. Unfortunately, they broke up before they could record. I don't think we actually had any new material that was finished at the time, which is why we decided to re-record 2 older songs. It was kind of a lame thing to do, but we had been presented with a chance to record something and we wanted to get this release out there. Looking back, it probably would've been cool to get 'Incineration Of Mortal Flesh' in there somewhere."
The 7" turned out really impressive (a cool gatefold cover, impressive artwork by Dan Seagrave, some copies came as "glow in the dark" editions and it also featured a sticker), so I suppose the 1000 copies sold out in no time, right? Have you ever considered to re-release the material on CD sometime (as bonus tracks for some upcoming release, maybe along with your debut demo and studio rehearsal)?
Nick: "Yeah, the 7" came out killer… Midnight 666 did a great job with it. I think the Dan Seagrave artwork really made it stand out from the rest. We were really lucky to be able to use his work… it's was just being in the right place at the right time! I'm pretty sure that it did sell out very quickly. People still want to buy copies off of me, but I sold all of mine long ago. I see it up on Ebay occasionally, and it doesn't sell for insane prices so I don't think the demand is that great to print another 1,000… at least to my knowledge. I think a compilation CD of both demos, the EP & any other rare good quality rehearsal tracks hidden in the closet of doom would be a great idea. Hopefully one of these days we can make it happen."
In 2005 you were finally able to complete the band's line-up again… So, please tell us a bit about the background of your new drummer Shawn Eldritch and guitarist Matt Medeiros…
Nick: "Shawn joined the band first in 2005, and single-handedly brought life back into the long-dead & rotting corpse of FUNEBRARUM. Shawn was in a local Black / Death Metal band at the time called Abysmal Gates. Daryl was the one who originally got in touch with him and invited him to join the band. It really was an important moment in the history of the band as Shawn & Matt have really given us our modern edge to go along with the festering old-schoolness of the rest of us. Matt joined later that year and he is an excellent musician. He has a Floridian-type Death Metal band called Kalopsia that's been his (rotted) baby for many years now. He was a big part of the step-up in song writing on the new album. He is a great (de)composer; and got the songs to sound really fluid and precise. He is a prefectionist and really made all of us play at an entirely new level. I'll be honest with you though; as with any band out there we've had some troubles all being on the same page at times. Right now, Matt is the only one not part of FUNEBRARUM pt.2. However, we plan on having some discussions with him and eventually getting the line up back to full grinding power. We shall see…"
In April 2006 you returned to Off Stage Studios to record your part of "Conjuration Of The Sepulchral", a split CD with INTERMENT on Conqueror Of Thorns Records… Among others it features a re-recording of your old demo track 'Kingdom Of Suffering Souls' and two great cover songs by ABHORRENCE ('Caught In A Vortex') and GRAVE ('Into The Grave')… Tell us a bit more about this release in general and what made you choose those particular songs for it…
Nick: "I really enjoyed that release. After many years, we were an actual band with a complete line-up. Those were some good times! We had wanted to do a couple of covers to pay homage to our favorite bands, and it seemed like the split was the best time to do it. The only trouble was picking 2 of our favorite bands. It was very, very difficult. I think we should've done 'All That Remains' by Bolt Thrower too but there's only so much room and I could say that for many other songs I feel we should've done as well. As for the originals, they were written by a full band and were the first songs that had actual contributions from people other than either Daryl or myself."
That split CD also has the original version of 'Grave Reaper' on it, a song which you re-recorded for your brand new album now… When did you write that and weren't you satisfied with the original version or why did you go for another version now?
Nick: "'Grave Reaper' was the first song the new line-up had written back in 2005. It was re-recorded because we think it's a very strong song that would also fit perfectly on the new album… not because we thought the original version was unsatisfactory. I think the new album is a bit clearer production-wise; and there are certain factors that are more audible on the new version. This is a positive thing for me; although it could go either way depending on who you talk to."
What can you tell us about the label Conqueror Of Thorns, that released this split CD?
Nick: "Not much!! I didn't really know too much about Conqueror Of Thorns as they were really new at the time. Daryl had already been in contact with the guys from INTERMENT and the whole idea for the split was already in place. I guess through normal correspondence, Daryl connected with the guy who runs the label and he showed serious interest in releasing it. I don't know if the label is still in existence though… I haven't really heard much about them lately or seen any of their releases."
Ever since FUNEBRARUM's origin you already had the opportunity to share the stage with quite a lot of cool bands, such as MAYHEM, EVOKEN, MORTICIAN, EXHUMED, HATE ETERNAL, NUNSLAUGHTER, DEMILICH, DEAD INFECTION and MUCUPURULENT… Any shows that stood out because they were so incredibly good or bad maybe?
Nick: "There have been some great shows… even though we played most of them in the 1st year or so of our existence. The MAYHEM show was great; even though I gotta say the one thing I remember most was the song MAYHEM played that actually had what sounded to me like rapping. I will never forget that. That was a blow below the belt, indeed! The show we played in Queens, NY (with MORTICIAN I think) was awesome as well. The smoke machine was in full force and we were blasting away with crushing force and I couldn't see 2 feet in front of me. It was a chaotic but brutal night indeed. All I remember is some dude banging his fist on the stage a bit too close to my beloved Boss HM-2. The worse show was the one where I got stuck in traffic in the Holland Tunnel. The old singer of Abazagorath was in the middle of a NYC street waving me down. He was like "dude, you're late you guys are already on, go ahead & i'll park your car". So I ran in and got on stage in front of like 150 people who were utterly silent and watching my every move. We then got to play 1 ½ songs before we had to stop. Talk about bad nights!!! Very funny now, not so funny then."
Did you already have any label offers when you started recording your newest full length album "The Sleep Of Morbid Dreams" last year, or did you shop the finished product around after you were finished with the recordings?
Nick: "We shopped it around after we had finished the recording. I think a couple of labels knew about the band but weren't sure if we were stable / active enough to sign. I think for those who do know, our troubled career has been pretty well documented. Besides, the last recording we had done was the "Dormant Hallucination" EP 4-5 years before that. So we wanted to have the recording ready before we got in touch with labels to show that we were still a band more than able to produce some seriously morbid fucking Death Metal!"
What made you try out Don Fury's Cyclone Sound in Coney Island, NY for the album this time?
Nick: "Daryl had known Don Fury from way back in the 80s at the height of Don Fury's career… when basically every NYHC band had Don doing their albums / demos / 7"es etc. I'm pretty sure that Daryl's old band Citizens Arrest recorded with him a couple of times. So, we knew he had some serious exposure and experience in the heavier side of music. Of course, Death Metal is a whole different genre, but the idea was to have someone who had done some quality work and knew what they were doing in the studio. I think he did a great job whipping us into shape and getting the best performances out of each of us."
I was honestly quite suprised when I got the news that the band got picked up by Cyclone Empire Records from Germany… Tell us a bit more about how this deal came about and what made you sign with them?
Daryl: "Dave Wagner and I were negotiating with several labels when we were contacted by the guys at Cyclone Empire. After our first few discussions with them it became clear that Cyclone Empire would be the best choice for us. The also were very accommodating and flexible regarding the needs of the band. They are a professional label based in Germany who offer worldwide distribution, tour support and an excellent roster of bands we are now proud to join. FUNEBRARUM are working towards to more releases, shows and tours. In the works is new material for an 7" EP as well as a split 7" EP with WINTERWOLF (Finland), a brutal band featuring Antti and Corpse of DEMILICH. Both releases will be on Cyclone Empire."
What actually was the reason that you didn't make it to the Party.San Festival overhere in Germany? From what I've read you had line-up problems at the time, is that right?
Nick: "Yes, there were some line-up problems going on at the time, but we also had the album recording and that really interfered with us being able to get tight enough to perform live. We had booked that show way in advance, not realizing that the studio time would eventually come about at nearly the same time of the show. In the end it was best that we didn't play that show, because we certainly were not ready for it. It was really fucked up for all of us, but we feel that eventually we will get the chance to play some awesome gigs in Europe and the rest of the world."
By the time this interview gets published your fantastic new album "The Sleep Of Morbid Dreams" is already out, so what can you tell people about it? How does it differ from your previous works? In which department have you made the biggest improvements from your personal point of view?
Nick: "I think it's by far the strongest material to date; as well as the best quality recording we've ever done. Older fans will find no nasty suprises here. It's dark, morbid Death Metal and that is what people have come to expect from us. I think the material is much better arranged; the flow is more natural and it sounds like 7 cohesive songs. These are the areas I think we've improved the most at. The only noticible difference really, is the tempo. There are alot more blast beats, and the overall sound is much more aggressive and less plodding. That is due in part to having a top notch drummer who can blast with the best of them in your band. We still have some slow, atmospheric parts but not to the point of overdoing it. There's much more of a balance now as opposed to the 1st album, which was like 80-85% slow / mid tempo."
Would you agree that there's a stronger influence from the more brutal Swedish Death Metal of the late 80s / early 90s in your new material nowadays (even though your Finnish "roots" still shine through here and there as well… Manolis mentioned DEMIGOD's "Slumber Of Sullen Eyes" eternal classic as a reference for example)…
Nick: "I think it really varies… even from song to song. We've always gotten the DEMIGOD references from the start and we all totally hail DEMIGOD as they are one of our biggest influences. I think it sounds a bit more Swedish because it's not as sluggish or 'doomy' as our previous material… maybe a bit less plodding and more aggressive tempo-wise. We still have the doom parts, I just think this album is overall much faster. My influences are really from both sides equally. Then again, you could say we sound more like BOLT THROWER than anything else (I think along with GRAVE what we get compared to the most) and as we all know, they aren't from Sweden or Finland."
I noticed that the band logo on each of your releases always gets changed a little… what is the reason for that?
Daryl: "I guess I am not done with it yet… consider it a work in progress. The logo featured on "The Sleep Of Morbid Dreams" is a mixture of all of our logos which is close to being finished."
You're personally keeping yourself quite busy in the art department anyway, don't you? I noticed that you have done a lot of layouts for Necroharmonic Productions already… So, do you do that for a living? Which releases have you all worked on so far?
Daryl: "Yes, I am quite busy these days designing for other bands as well as our own. I am a web developer / graphic designer by profession. In my freetime, I run my own art / web / design business called Eye Studio as well as a small record label called Morbid Wrath Records. Some of our releases include ETERNAL DARKNESS – "Total Darkness" CD, GOREMENT – "Darkness Of The Dead" CD, FUNEBRARUM – "Beneath The Columns Of Abandoned Gods" CD, ABAZAGORATH – "Sacraments Of The Final Atrocity" CD, MUCUPURULENT – "Sicko Baby And More Babes" CD etc… Roy / Necroharmonic and I have been collaborating for years and have some great projects in the works. We pride ourselves on providing underground Metal fans with only the highest quality releases… trendies beware!"
Why do you actually use art by Dan Seagrave, Chris Moyen or Christophe Spajdel, considering the fact that you're a really talented artist yourself?
Daryl: "Thank you. The person who released our "Dormant Hallucination" 7" EP (Wes Blackwulf / Midnight Records) obtained the usage of Dan Seagrave's painting for what was going to be a split between us and his band CADAVERIZER. We had nothing to do with choosing the artwork. CADAVERIZER broke up and Wes decided to go ahead with a full FUNEBRARUM 7" EP using the Seagrave cover. Chris Moyen was chosen as the artist for our split with INTERMENT because if anyone he could realize the vision we were looking for. This was done also to the present the CD as a collective conceptual project between the bands with artwork from a third "satanic" party."
I was a little confused when I read the following news recently: "Matt left the band, Nick moved to North Carolina, Dave joined EVOKEN, Daryl and Shawn have a new band with Bill Venner (ex-INCANTATION) called DISMA but FUNEBRARUM lives on…" Please tell us more about the current situation here and also some details about DISMA…
Nick: "Well, there were a lot of things that happened within FUNEBRARUM in a relatively short period of time. All of what you read on the Myspace page is correct. However, the state of the band as of right now has changed since that was posted. I did in fact move to North Carolina… Dave is in EVOKEN… Matt is at the moment not in the band… and Shawn & Daryl are in a new band called DISMA. We have recently decided that we want to keep things going with FUNEBRARUM, even though we are not in the more active stages of it just yet. Right now, we're writing material and plotting out the next steps for FUNEBRARUM. So, don't consider us dead just yet. DISMA would better be answered by Daryl.

Government safety ratings for helmets are irrelevant because tests focus on impacts to the wrong place, according to a new report.
Testers target points on either side because they have "misinterpreted" research to conclude this is where helmets are most likely to be hit in a crash, the report claimed.
Meanwhile the area which is really most likely to be struck is ignored.
The Birmingham University report is by the chairman of the British Standard for motorcycle helmets, Dr Nigel Mills.
It affirms concerns about the Government's Safety Helmet Assessment and Ratings Programme (SHARP) first raised in MCN last year.
SHARP awards helmets a star rating from one to five based on ability to withstand impacts in tests.
More importance is based on performance in impacts to points on either side than elsewhere because testers believe this is where more than half of real blows happen in crashes.
They claim 26% are to the left side and 27% to the right.
But those figures are taken from a study which simply divided helmets down the middle into left and right-hand portions and counted blows either side of the dividing line, according to Mills. Only blows to the very top of the helmet were excluded.
SHARP testers have misunderstood the research by taking the numbers to represent impacts to the extreme left and right-hand points, the new report says.
It suggests the underlying assumption of SHARP ratings – that helmets should be particularly able to withstand impact tests to points on either side – is completely wrong.
Mills report says research in fact shows most impacts are to the chin-bar, an area not tested by SHARP at all.
He told MCN the lack of chin-bar tests was particularly worrying because SHARP has rated flip-front helmets. "A lot of people are quite concerned that flip-front helmets don't have the same protection at the chin," he said.
His report says it is a 'misinterpretation of… statistics to say that 27% of impacts occur on a specific left site'.
A SHARP spokesman said: "We strongly dispute that any data was misinterpreted during the development of the SHARP rating system, which is designed to ensure that only helmets providing good levels of protection to a wide area of the head can achieve the highest ratings.
"International research, reviewed by the Transport Research Laboratory on behalf of DfT, recommended that helmets should provide improved protection to the rider's temple as this area of the head is particularly vulnerable to injury.

SAN LEANDRO — Could so-called ranked-choice voting eliminate municipal runoff elections in San Leandro?
On Thursday, a City Council committee generally supported what is also known as the instant runoff system, and changing the even-year municipal election date from the June primary to the November general election.
In San Leandro, a runoff election must be held if no municipal candidate receives at least 50 percent of the vote plus one. But under the proposed new system, voters would indicate their first, second and third choices on the ballot to preclude having a runoff.
Advantages of the proposal include avoiding the costs associated with holding a runoff election.
Last June, in a three-candidate race for the District 2 council seat, none of the challengers received the necessary 50 percent plus one vote to be elected.
Linda Perry received the most votes, but not the required majority. Perry and Ursula Reed, who came in second, then went on to a November runoff. Reed received more votes in November and was elected to the four-year seat.
Last June's election cost the city $50,000, while the November election cost $68,000, City Clerk Marian Handa said. Three measures on the November ballot increased the cost of that election, Handa added.
Candidates would save money, too, if the primary was eliminated, Mayor Tony Santos said.
"I would have saved $50,000 if there hadn't been a runoff in 2006," said Santos, a member of the council's Rules and Communications Committee, which reviewed Handa's proposal.
However, Santos doubted there will be enough support on the full council to make the election change.
The next municipal election is scheduled for June 2010, in which Santos's mayoral seat and three of the six council seats will be on the ballot.
The council will have to make a decision by the end of this year to change the municipal election from June to November. If no change is made, the candidate nominating period opens in February 2010 and ends in March 2010.
Handa said there have been three runoff elections since 2000.
If approved by the full council, San Leandro will work with Alameda County, and the cities of Berkeley and Oakland, to use the ranked-choice voting system developed by Sequoia Voting Systems for the November 2010 election.
The election would require special certification by the California secretary of state, because the Sequoia system has not been approved by the federal government. The cost of developing the system is $350,000, Handa said. San Leandro's share would be $45,000, based on the city's number of registered voters.

Home Africa Live Egypt to hold Parliamentary elections
Egypt to hold Parliamentary elections
Egypt set to hold parliamentary elections starting October 18-19
The Egyptian Electoral Commission announced on Sunday that the long awaited parliamentary election will be held starting October 18-19. This, the commission said, is the final step in a process aimed at bringing back democracy that many critics say has been tainted by widespread authoritarianism.
Egypt has been without a parliament since a court dissolution of the democratically elected main chamber back in 2012. The then parliament was dominated by the now-banned Muslim brotherhood movement to which the toppling of former president Hosni Mubarak was credited.
The elections had been set for March but were delayed after a court ruled part of the election law unconstitutional.
The electoral commission also disclosed that after this first phase of election, there shall be a second phase on November 22-23. Egyptians abroad will vote on October 17-18.
The incumbent president, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi successfully led a mass revolution that toppled Egypt's first freely elected president, Mohamed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood in 2013. It is after this that the army announced a 'road map' to democracy in Egypt, the most populous Arab state in Africa.
The government has said that the election is a proof of the country's commitment to democracy.
In the long absence of the parliament, president Sisi has exerted legislative authority to limit political freedoms. He has however introduced massive economic reforms in the country.
The parliament is expected to effectively check the actions of the executive after its institution.
The house of Representatives is made up of 568 seats with 448 elected individuals while 120 elected through a winner-takes-all policy with quotas for women, youth and Christians. The president may also appoint a number of people to the house, not exceeding 5% of its total makeup.
Hardcore Brotherhood supporters are likely to boycott the elections while others who initially supported the group but later became disillutioned with it during Mursi's troubled rule could either vote for pro-Sisi candidates or other Islamists.

GENEVA, 21 May 2013 - Leading figures from the private sector said today they were ready to "come in from the cold" and play a stronger leading role to reduce disaster risk.
CEO of Titan America, Aris Papadopoulos, praised 'pioneer' business leaders who were championing the cause of resilience, on the opening day of the 4th Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction in Geneva, but warned a long road lay ahead.
Mr Papadopoulos, who is also the Chair of UNISDR's Private Sector Advisory Group, said the private sector needed to be a central actor in building the successor to the Hyogo Framework for Action, the HFA2, and help on implementation of the framework agreement for disaster risk reduction.
"There are three main action points to make this happen: first we need to increase awareness of DRR as a means to protect business as well as an avenue for value creation; second, in this era of rapid urbanisation we need to invest smartly in resilient 'city ecosystems'; and third, we need a clear division of labour between the public and private sectors and for each to concentrate on what they do best," Mr Papadopoulos said.
"We've seen both the problem and the solution - and it is us. If we make the right decisions then we can really build resilience. If we do not make the right decisions then the consequences could be catastrophic," he said and added that "we take the decisions that create disasters and we make the investments that create risk."
Although both public and private sector were more aware of the issues than in the past, said Sandra Wu, Chairperson and CEO, Kokusai Kogyo Co., Ltd., it was now time to "move on and set goals and find solutions", as well as to develop further private-public sector initiatives. Getting involved was not a choice but necessary for survival.
Roger Sutton, the Chief Executive of the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority, spoke of his lessons from the disaster frontline in the wake of the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes in Christchurch, New Zealand. The cost of recovery was over 20% of the country's GDP.
'Successful recovery crucially depends on speed, using the best experts possible so that you start on the right track, and finally, good institutions and government, which really count,' Mr Sutton said.
Business representatives welcomed the Disaster Risk Framework put together after extensive consultations with 14 global corporations ABB, ARUP, BG Group, Citigroup, General Electric, HCC Group, HIRCO Group, Hitachi Group, InterContinental Hotels Group, Nestlé, NTT East Corporation, Roche, Shapoorhi Pallonji&Co. Ltd., and Walmart in a joint initiative between UNISDR and PwC.
The Framework is driven by standard risk management processes -- identification, assessment, response, and mitigation -- and is structured in three sections.
Dr Paul Robertson, head of PwC's Crisis Leadership practice in London said "good crisis management creates value" and without it, firms could potentially be in "company killer territory".
Risk reduction expert Dr Satori Nishikawa, of Japan, said "just in time" global supply chains are premised on resilient networks yet the disasters of 2011 in Thailand (floods) and Japan (earthquake, tsunami and nuclear emergency) exposed how vulnerable these networks really are to major interruption.
Dr Nishikawa highlighted the example of one Japanese medical waste processor that was only out of action briefly after the earthquake because of the robustness of its continuity planning.
Emiko Okuyama, Mayor of Sendai City, Japan, said that the city had worked with various sectors to increase its disaster risk capacity even before the earthquake and tsunami of 2011, and had been recognized as a role model for disaster management by the United Nations.


Benelli TNT 300 will return a city mileage figure of 25 kmpl in Delhi. You can switch off the bike on red lights to save fuel whereas riding between 60-70 kmpl, if possible, would get you the best out of its 300 cc, 37.73 BHP and 26.5 NM engine. The twin cylinder motor is good for a top speed of 154 kmph and comes with a 6-speed gearbox. The 16 liter fuel tank is good for 400 km stretch and the bike comes with a price tag of INR 2,83,000.


As we promised, today we are going to discuss about hydroponic gardening system and how to apply it at home in a low-cost way.
5 gallon square bucket (you can use the round bucket, but square pails are more efficient in hydroponic gardening since it saves space and you can put more pots). You can also choose a smaller or bigger bucket. Just suit it with your needs. The bucket will serve as the reservoir.
Measure the inside of the bucket and take a note on the dimension.
Draw the shape of the bucket with the said dimension (but ¼ inch smaller) on the Styrofoam and cut it. The Styrofoam should fit the inside of the bucket and should be able to sink as well to indicate the level of water in the reservoir.
Decide how many net pots can fit the Styrofoam and the bucket. This depends on the size of your bucket and your net pots.
Trace around the bottom of the net pots with a pen so that it draws (likely circle) shapes on the Styrofoam.
Cut the circles with a knife.
Make a small circle somewhere on the Styrofoam for the air line to get through.
Connect the airline with the air stone on one end and the air pump on the other.
Place the net pots through the holes of the Styrofoam.
Fill the bucket with water+nutrient solution. It's very important that you choose good nutrient system that has macro nutrients that the plants will need to grow.
Place one baby plant inside each net pot and fill it in with pea gravel so that the plant gets to stand steadily.
Place the Styrofoam that has net pots attached to it and the air line going through the small hole you just make earlier.
Place the hydroponic system where it gets ample amount of sunlight.
You will see the result that your plants are going rapidly in only just a week.

Tina Arena - a Musician - born on Wednesday November 1st 1967, in Melbourne, Australia.
Tina Arena is gifted with natural leadership and the capacity to accumulate great wealth. She has great talent for management in all walks of life, especially in business and financial matters, where she contributes the greater vision, purpose, and long-range goals. She understands the material world, and intuitively knows what makes virtually any enterprise work. Business, finance, real estate, law, science (particularly history, archeology, and physics), publishing, and the management of large institutions are among the vocational fields that suit Tina best. She is naturally attracted to positions of influence and leadership, and politics, social work, and teaching are among the many other areas where her abilities can shine.
She possesses the ability to inspire people to join her in her quest, even when they are incapable of seeing what she sees. Therefore, those around Tina Arena need her continual guidance, inspiration, and encouragement. Arena is a good judge of character, which serves her well in attracting the right people that she can prod them then into action and direct them along the lines of her vision.
Tina's challenge in life is to understand that power and influence must be used for the benefit of mankind, and only for her personal gain. Otherwise, Tina Arena is bound to suffer the consequences of greed and run the risk of losing it all. She must also learn to bounce back from failures and defeats. As with many greate visionaries, Arena can be reckless for lack of attention to details. Thus, it is not unlikely for such personality to experience major reverses, including bankruptcies and financial failure. Tina Arena, however, has the talent and the sheer guts to make more than one fortune, and build many successful enterprises.
Tina Arena tends to be quite adaptable, and she finds it easy to fit into most social set ups and vocational fields.
There are no particular virtues that can cause an imbalance in Tina's personality and life, but she has to work hard and persistently to develop those special strengths that she desires to attain.
Learning to be wisely assertive is a major lesson to be taken by Tina Arena throughout her life.
Tina Arena is more sensitive than usual on April 19th 2019. She can turn this state of hers into a productive day by focusing on relationships in work and personal life. Counseling others presents an opportunity to help, and may even bring admiration by someone.
Romance is strong, but Tina must control her tendency to lie today.
