Dental implant is a permanent solution to replace missing tooth by placing titanium fixture in the jawbone.
The dentist will insert the titanium fixture into the jawbone and it usually takes around 2-6 months for the bone to fuse with the fixture thread completely.
After osseointegration has been completed, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth and fabricate the replacement tooth (dental crown) which will be attached to the dental implant.
In Casa Dental, all our clinics are fully equipped with Digital Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT); an advanced X-ray machine which is able to generate a highly accurate 3D visualization image of patient's jaw bone.
The use of CBCT together with virtual planning software will enable our dentists to visualize and plan the implant surgery better, thus ensuring a safer and smoother surgery for our patients.
Dental implants are directly connected to jaw bone like our natural teeth. This allows the application of higher biting force which helps restore patient's chewing function and enjoy the food they love.
When we do not chew well, we tend to favour soft food which is often high in sugar and fat content, and avoid fibrous (Vegetables and fruits) or tougher food (Meats) which is high in protein and vitamins. Replacing teeth with dental implants will enable patients to have a more balanced diet through improvement in chewing efficiency.
We can use dental implants to enhance fitting of loose denture. Loose and ill-fitting dentures can cause ulcers and cuts into the gum tissue. This occurrence is unavoidable as the patient's jawbone resorb overtime from missing teeth. With dental implants, dentures can anchor onto it thus improving its retention.
Dental implant is firm and anchors in jaw bone. Patient need not worry about their teeth getting loose during important function (eating, singing or talking). Oral hygiene care would be similar to natural teeth (flossing and regular brushing).
Implant procedures are virtually painless. We usually perform the dental implant surgery under local anaesthesia. Most of our patients are able to resume normal daily activities the following day.
What You Can Expect at the First Consultation?
We will assess your teeth and jawbone and discuss the best treatment plan to suit your needs. Once the treatment option has been agreed, we will take a study model and X-rays for further evaluation before proceeding with the treatment.
Any individual who is in reasonably good health can undergo dental implant treatment.
Some medical conditions may decrease dental implant success rate. For example: uncontrolled diabetes or individual who had previously received radio-therapy around jaw bone area. If in doubt, please feel free to consult and discuss with our dentists.
Neighbouring teeth can drift out of position and opposing teeth may grow into the space left by the missing tooth. Once the surrounding teeth has shifted, additional dental treatment would be required to rectify the problem.
Can I Replace the Missing Tooth on the Same Day of Extraction?
Yes, you can. However, it is subjected to the conditions and the health of the surrounding jaw bone that is needed to support the dental implant. If there is a severe lack of bone volume or if the bone quality is greatly compromised during the time of extraction, we will advise you accordingly on the best dental implant treatment.
Good oral hygiene is required to maintain dental implant health just like our natural teeth. Daily brushing and flossing is essential. We also encourage all of our dental implant patients to visit us every 6 months for professional cleaning and check-up.
How Much Does my Dental Implant Cost?
Our dentists will provide you with a comprehensive quotation after reviewing your oral conditions.
Am I Able to Use Medisave to Fully Pay for my Implant?
Traditional Implant Treatment is the most common way of placing dental implants. This type of implant treatment has been around since the 1960s (developed in Switzerland) and has a very high success rate (95- 99%) over range of studies and research.
Treatment duration ranges between 2-4 months.
Key-hole Implant Treatment is a more advanced technique for replacing missing teeth. With the aid of advanced CBCT (3D X-rays) software, we are able to perform a less traumatic surgery procedure. Hence, it will reduce trauma and speed up recovery time.
However, not every dental implant case is suitable for this surgical technique. Please check with our dentist should you need further information.
Dental implants can be used to support denture. We use dental implants to support patients' denture which improves patients' denture retention and chewing function.
It is a good alternative solution for patients who only wish to undergo simple surgery.
Mini implant consists of a slim titanium fixture which can be placed into a jawbone. The denture can then be fitted to the slim titanium fixture with the help of O-ring that acts like a socket.
The size of mini implant is half the size of regular implant and it is not as costly as the latter. However, the lifespan is not as long as the regular implant.
Medisave cannot be used for mini implant treatment. Please feel free to approach us for other payment options.


"We build products that save first responders' lives. We are trying to bridge the gap between residents and officers," James Corbett, CEO of Blastar (Vorhees Township), told us. The company was cofounded by Corbett, CTO Chan Yeoh and William Luong, who is the lead UI.UX developer for the group. The company, which specializes in social media management services, has built an API and developed a product called "First Responders Live," which uses live streaming software to help police departments better engage with local communities.
The problem, as described on Blastar's First Responders Live website, is that communications in most police departments revolve around email, texts, phone calls, etc. Distributing tasks and agendas, and keeping track of the implementation of those tasks and agendas, is nearly impossible. Oh, and add the fact that residents often complain that their police departments aren't doing enough. Even worse, when a police department responds by saying, "Yes we are. We did X, Y and Z," the residents respond by saying, "Prove it," which can't easily be done. Blastar solves these problems.
Blastar is a collaboration and communications tool for officers, the cofounders said. Police departments are unique in their structure, so they require a special task-management tool. A lot of the time, officers are on the road and not behind a desk. "We built a tool where the men and women behind the desk can easily distribute information to the field," they added.
"We are a combination of Slack, Trello and Hootsuite for the officers. We have an API that connects out to other applications," said Corbett. The API links with home security systems, allowing police to connect with residents through those systems.
Corbett noted that at the Founders & Funders event, he and Chan got some good advice from the investors they met with, and they believed they communicated their message well. Corbett added that they are exploring a partnership, and one of the investors gave them advice about their pricing model, which he believed to be too high. "He told me to figure out how to make it lower to make it work." Corbett and Chan were grateful for the advice, which could prevent the company from making a costly mistake.
InquisitHealth (River Edge) is a tech-enabled public health company that uses peer-to-peer mentoring to help patients who are struggling with chronic diseases like diabetes, asthma, pre-diabetes, hypertension and sickle cell anemia. "Our mentors are patients who are successfully managing those chronic conditions," said Ashwin Patel, founder and chief medical officer.
InquisitHealth's technology platform is called "Mentor1to1," which the company website describes as the only fully scalable ‒ and fully managed ‒ peer mentoring solution.
"We train mentors to be able to help other patients," Patel said. "This is something that has been studied extensively and validated in academia. What we've done is deliver a one-on-one personalized intervention to each patient based on what they are specifically struggling with. We help with filling in knowledge gaps and taking that knowledge and converting it into action. In the process, we uncover the social and behavioral determinants of health that the mentors are able to understand and appreciate, and share that insight with the individuals." InquisitHealth gives mentors the tools to address these issues with the patients.
The investors asked a lot of great questions, Patel said. He noted that some of the investors asked for follow-up information and slide decks, and offered to connect them with their limited partners, which tended to be health systems or health plans. "The first time you meet someone, you don't want to be asking for a check," he said. "You want to build a relationship. This is helping us develop that relationship." Patel added that these meetings provided him with insights into what funders are looking for.

Check that… what a couple of weeks.
OK fine. What a month. In that case… what a year. Already.
2006 has not been kind to me health-wise. First the kidney stone, then the worst cold I've had in recent memory. The kidney stone was painful enough, let me tell you. But this cold was dreadful. Two weeks of misery– the worst of which was this past Sunday into Wednesday. It's been going around my office at work and through my friends as well. Chicago winters– gotta love 'em.
But I'm turning the corner and I'm finally feeling better. Just in time for the weekend, of course. How convenient!
So it's officially Friday, which means it's Friday Flesh time. But I haven't really given any thought to a Friday Flesh Foto for today, so I'm just going to wait until next week for the next installment. Besides, I haven't blogged much in a while and I have a few things to write about.
I do graphic design for a living, and as the years have gone on, and people have seen some of the work that I do, I get requests to do projects for this, that, or the other thing. Usually the project has a very noble cause behind it, and is something I can get into and put a part of myself into in order to make it work. Other times it may be for a friend or for a friend OF a friend. Sometimes the project is for myself… this blog (the look of it), for instance, is of my very own design. And if money is thrown into the mix, I'm ready to jump head-first into the project.
Now I'm not saying this to say that "money talks" with me, because history will show that this isn't necesarily the case. But for far too long I have been doing jobs without any monetary compensation or even bringing up the subject of a payment plan.
So lately I've been seeking out projects that will pay… and so far, it's going fairly well. I'm working with one group at the moment, I have another client I've been working with for a year now, and today another opportunity fell into my lap.
My problem is, at the same time as all of this, I have other dedications– work, the choruses, and basic life in general. And then of course there's my blog, finding time to read other blogs, and my participation in Discuss It.
The answer to both questions is yes. But when I look at what I'm doing, I enjoy it. I like the challenges. By pushing myself to complete a task or accomplish a goal, I'm proving to myself that I can do it. There have been far too many times in my life where I wasn't sure I'd ever accomplish anything. I know I can do it now.
The question, therefore, is… how much longer can I do it without burning out?
And the answer is… wait and see.

You may or may not be aware of it, but the truth is that there are many benefits of buying a used car. They never require you to shell out a big sum of money since used cars are available at a smaller price than their original counterparts. You can also expect to look from a variety of deals, given that you are buying them from dealers. There is no dearth of used car dealer in Teshie. So, you should not even think of buying the cars from a private seller without looking for hot deals at a dealer website. Buying cars from dealers will give you more advantages than you can even think of. Imagine the lure of a variety of cars spread over all kinds of models and price range! Would you get such a variety if you buy from a private individual? Of course, not!
At CarXus, people buy and sell car in Teshie. So it is obvious that CarXus can be branded as your best place where you can find deals and dealers for a car of your choice. The range of cars which is listed at CarXus is no less impressive. How about going for a Honda Civic or a Kia Sedona or even a Ford Escape? You may not be able to afford most of them if you walk into a showroom and try buying them first hand. But just take a look at the prices at which you can grab them from second hand dealers and you will be left rubbing your hands in glee. So the next time you decide to go for used car for sale in Teshie, you better search out the full range of deals at CarXus. It may require you to spend a few hours but the time spent will be worth it. At the end of the day, your priority should be to make sure that whatever money you are investing, no matter how little it is, you should get full value and satisfaction for it.


Perhaps parallel to the physical enhancement of human ability and longevity through technology, enhancements to civilization must also have cultural and political forms. By far the most important of these could be the neglect and final dissolution of borders and "nations".
An encouraging prediction repeatedly nodded towards by futurists and scientific figures of all schools has been the end of the nation-state as the default regime. This departure from barriers and disparities is certainly features in the promises of revolutionary new technologies.
The interpretation that the world is getting more open and less hospitable to narrow national interests is increasingly accepted, and has been consistently supplied as a very cogent and useful theory by top sociologist Immanuel Wallerstein, e.g. in Utopistics (1998). It must be specified that this particular theory of the nation-state's demise is based on history, with the observation that the French Revolution disseminated most modern assumptions about legitimate political action and authority.
The construction of "peoples" and "nations" to support the designs of governments and their claims to territory since the French Revolution has been commonplace, in accord with the expectations created by this defining political event. Perhaps a crueler way of putting it would be that nation-states and the beliefs legitimizing them are similarly fictive to religions, as easily offended by insults to their idols, and altogether as restrictive an influence on human advancement and freedom.
Of course, the main objections to fanatical nation-states have focused on their responsibility for causing devastating wars. However, the analysis of declining state legitimacy needs not be part of an emotional plea for an end to war. It is the observation that the physics and technologies of current civilization, as a result of them being favorable to transparency, freedom of expression and movement, eliminate any further need for the state to serve the role it once occupied.
Migration, resulting from the development of better means of transport and easier connections across the world, is a "disintegrating" influence on modern nation-states. As countries stretch the definition of citizenship to accommodate increasing migrant populations, citizenship is destined to lose its function of excluding people. With this crisis, it is destined to extinguish itself as a means of privileging people.
It is important to note that the whole idea of citizenship has been about supplying privileges, creating a dichotomy of citizen and non-citizen as a means of exclusion. As rhetorically effective as the description "citizen of the world" sounds, it could never serve any political or legal purpose and would quickly be dissolved (like a prize or honor being awarded to everyone at birth). This makes it impossible that any concept of citizenship could survive the elimination of nation-states in favor of the inclusion of the whole human family in a larger democratic order.
The revelation that the decisive rejection of nation-state regimes is a fact of the political future is the result of strong scholarly observations of history and politics. Due to this validation, the rejection of nation-state legitimacy and moral authority in favor of human conscience can be expected to become more and more commonplace in political discourse.
Political viewpoints that reject the legitimacy of nation-states, like my columns republished in Flagless: Accepting the End of Nations, aim to contribute to the discussion by encouraging steady and nuanced departures from nation-state beliefs and prejudices. The primary benefits of this political change that readers are often drawn to are the likely immense refinements of human rights, democracy and equality into more meaningful forms that would be possible without the disgraced framework of nation-states. As the discourse on the inexorable weaknesses of nation-state regimes under the new pressures of modernity becomes popularized, more valuable voices may begin to conceive of possible alternative regimes to the nation-state.
When taking an open-minded stance on the future, one must be prepared to let go of what is familiar. We must even be prepared to let go of what is reassuring in favor of what is strange, while at the same time being cognizant of any risks to society involved in long-term change. As transhumanism entails the view that there is something else possible beyond being "human", I hold that it is similarly prescient to prepare to let go of the flags and myths of "nations".
Ideally, no post-human scenario will include the survival of "nations" and the myths they have required to gain support and credibility. For this reason, encouragement of a political vision divorced from archaic ideas about national legitimacy and citizenship may be an indispensable part of humanity's offer to transform.
no one world goverment period.
Exactly – World Government is promoted as the solution to all our problems.
Political and religious solutions get adopted by sociopaths and used by them for their own ends.
Today' revolutionaries are tomorrow's Establishment.
Organisations formed to defeat the bullies in society are now, themselves the bullies.
Bypass representatives, have skilled persons to advocate one side of a proposition and the other, on a dedicated TV channel – and then – press the red button.
OK, it wil be inefficient, but it will cut out the psycho and socio paths, the lobbyists and the corrupters.
This will work great…as long as humans aren't involved. Humans have this desire to be part of smaller 'clicks'. They form up into like minded groups. These are clubs, communities, states, nations, causes, movements… To believe that any one of these sub-organizations will first off give up their hegemony or dissolve their organization is fallacy. Each will fight to the bitter end.
The history of politics has been of sociopaths treating populations like their pawns and populations slowly waking up and gaining their sovereignty.
If you accept that the initiation of force is immoral, then the logical conclusion is a voluntary society – anarchy. Not no rules, just no rulers.
I strongly disagree. If you look at the results of conflict research you will understand that wars aren't just "caused by sociopaths arising". An already perfect counterexample to this thesis are civil wars which are created out of tensions and negative undercurrents within the population and not just caused by single individuals.
Wars in the sense of national states at war might be caused by tensions between the ruling classes of the respective states, but not all wars start like that. There are border transgressions caused by accidents, retaliation operations for damages to citizens of a state, an almost innumerable list of causes can lead to war.
Civil war disproves your thesis that it is national differences that cause wars.
In murder cases the usual perpetrator is a relative.
Increase understanding. Let evolution occurr.
Ella – so – you could smell the sulphur/sulfur too!
Uniformity is the spice of death.
(c/f Variety is the spice of life).
Wars are caused by sociopaths ascending – not by the variety of beliefs, cultures, and languages of the people.
Ve hev vays of makink you smile….
Und this time ve vill succeed!
You VILL smile – and why?
Because you are NOT a cultural deviant.
Increase underbloodystanding – not uniformity.


What is a "Protective Sweep" Exception?
The 4th Amendment protects you from unreasonable searches by law enforcement of your home, person, or vehicle. When you have a reasonable expectation of privacy, police officers do not have the right to simply come in and invade your privacy with a search whenever they want. Instead, they must first meet certain requirements, such as having a search warrant, in order for a search to be lawful.
There are also exceptions under which an officer can search for items not in plain view without a warrant and without consent. This limited exception is referred to as a "protective sweep." In a protective sweep, an officer is searching other areas that are not in plain view to determine whether there are any weapons or other items that may put the officer in danger. This is a common act when there is another person around who may harm the officer. In one recent case out of New Jersey, the court allowed a protective sweep when there was only one person because the driver was repeatedly reaching in between the seats nervously and the officer believed there was a weapon hidden between the seats.
Law enforcement officers violate the constitutional rights of individuals more often than you may imagine. For this reason, examining whether a search was legal is a primary defense strategy for skilled criminal defense attorneys. If a search was not legal, we can work to have all evidence resulting from that search suppressed so it cannot be used against you in your criminal case. This can significantly affect the outcome of your case and often results in a dismissal of all charges. For example, if drugs were found in your car through an illegal search by police and those drugs are kept out of court, the prosecutor likely has no additional evidence of your drug possession and, therefore, can no longer pursue the charges.
If you need help with a criminal case, please call the Law Offices of Edward V. Murachanian at 732-477-3030 for help today.

For adults and children ages 12 and over, Pepcid AC can be used to prevent heartburn or indigestion when taken 10 to 60 minutes before a meal. It can also help relieve symptoms once they occur. No matter what strength is used (10 mg or 20 mg), no more than two Pepcid AC tablets or gelcaps should be taken in 24 hours.
Pepcid Complete (a combination of Pepcid and two antacids) is intended to treat heartburn or indigestion symptoms once they occur. For adults and children ages 12 and over, the recommended dose of Pepcid Complete is one tablet when symptoms occur, up to two tablets per day. Make sure to chew the tablets thoroughly before swallowing.
A liquid form of prescription Pepcid is available for people who have trouble swallowing capsules or tablets. Make sure to shake the liquid well before each dose. Liquid Pepcid is good for 30 days after it is mixed by your pharmacist. After 30 days, it should be thrown away.
Be sure to ask your healthcare provider about how long you will need to take Pepcid. Some people need to take it for only a short period of time (a month or two).
The medication can be taken with or without food. If you are using over-the-counter Pepcid AC to prevent heartburn, you should take it 10 to 60 minutes before eating or drinking the foods that cause heartburn (up to twice a day).
Pepcid should be taken at the same time(s) each day to maintain an even level of the drug in your blood. If you take it just once a day, it is usually best to take at bedtime.
For Pepcid to work properly, it must be taken as prescribed. The drug will not work if you stop taking it. However, many people need to take Pepcid only until their ulcer or esophagitis is healed.
The Pepcid dose is decreased for people who have poor kidney function (including kidney failure). If you have kidney problems, ask your healthcare provider about which dose of Pepcid you should be taking.
If you are unsure about anything related to your dosage or Pepcid dosing in general, please talk with your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.

Removal of derelict vehicles should resume shortly, Solid Waste Manager says, but it will be a long and slow process
Daryl Spencer, General Manager of the National Solid Waste Management Authority (NSWMA), says the agency continues to be challenged by the removal of derelict vehicles from the roadways, but claims that this process should commence shortly.
Although a National Bulk Waste Clean-up Campaign was recently undertaken, quite a number of abandoned vehicles can still be found on the roadsides in several communities, and residents complain that they are breeding grounds for vermin, including rats.
These vehicles were not moved because of issues with a private contractor, the Authority says.
Spencer notes that there are more than 3,000 derelict vehicles to be collected, and the contractor has the capacity to move only 10 at a time. Therefore, this will be a lengthy process, and it does not include those vehicles which are not directly on the roadsides, he warns.
Once these vehicles are collected, they are taken to the landfill and placed in a separate location from the normal household and commercial waste. These vehicles are then stripped, crushed and the metal shipped overseas, the Authority's General Manager explains.
On a separate but related note, several communities are complaining, yet again, that the Authority has been delinquent in collecting their garbage.
Spencer said, last week, that many of the haulers are on "downtime" as their trucks and equipment are being serviced. However, many people scoffed at that explanation, with the majority saying they are aware that these haulers are owed by the Authority.

Writers: Paul Thomas Anderson (written for the screen by), Thomas Pynchon (based on the novel by)
Inherent Vice, is the seventh feature from Paul Thomas Anderson and the first ever film adaption of a Thomas Pynchon novel.
When private eye Doc Sportello's ex-old lady suddenly out of nowhere shows up with a story about her current billionaire land developer boyfriend whom she just happens to be in love with, and a plot by his wife and her boyfriend to kidnap that billionaire and throw him in a loony bin... well, easy for her to say. It's the tail end of the psychedelic `60s and paranoia is running the day and Doc knows that love is another of those words going around at the moment, like trip or groovy, that's being way too overused—except this one usually leads to trouble.
With a cast of characters that includes surfers, hustlers, dopers and rockers, a murderous loan shark, LAPD Detectives, a tenor sax player working undercover, and a mysterious entity known as the Golden Fang, which may only be a tax dodge set up by some dentists... Part surf noir, part psychedelic romp—all Thomas Pynchon.

Work is progressing on the rewrite – replacing all the citations from copyrighted translations with older translations which are no longer subject to copyrights. I am also taking the opportunity to clarify certain sections, add footnotes containing material I either didn't know how to work in previously or found during later research. I am currently finishing Chapter IV, so an end of summer time frame for completion seems reasonable. I will be in France on business from 21 -30 June, but should be hard at it again starting in July.
Here is a short excerpt from rewritten Chapter III:
The Price of First Century Christianity
…he also subdued Judaea, and made a prisoner of Aristobulus the king. Some cities he built up, others he set free, chastising their tyrants.
-Plutarch, Life of Pompey
Once conquered by Roman General Cnaeus Pompeius Magnus, (Pompey the Great,) in 63 BC, Judea was not destined to regain its independence until the twentieth century AD. The Romans granted some autonomy to local authorities within the empire, but client-Kings and Governors alike ultimately answered to Caesar. Roman tolerance of each various culture thus determined the subject race's quality of life, freedom, and even their right to exist. The following narrative recounts how difficult life could be for a conquered people whose ways were not approved by Imperial Rome:
Thus Scipio took Carthage; and he sent to the senate the following message: "Carthage is taken. What are our orders now?" When these words had been read, they took counsel as to what should be done. Cato expressed the opinion that they ought to raze the city and blot out the Carthaginians, whereas Scipio Nasica still advised sparing the Carthaginians. And thereupon the senate became involved in a great dispute and contention, until some one declared that for the Romans' own sake, if for no other reason, it must be considered necessary to spare them. With this nation for antagonists they would be sure to practise valour instead of turning aside to pleasures and luxury; whereas, if those who were able to compel them to practise warlike pursuits should be removed from the scene, they might deteriorate from want of practice, through a lack of worthy competitors. As a result of the discussion all became unanimous in favour of destroying Carthage, since they felt sure that its inhabitants would never remain entirely at peace. The whole city was therefore utterly blotted out of existence, and it was decreed that for any person to settle upon its site should be an accursed act. The majority of the men captured were thrown into prison and there perished, and some few were sold. But the very foremost men together with the hostages and Hasdrubal and Bithias spent their lives in different parts of Italy in honourable confinement. Scipio secured both glory and honour and was called Africanus, not after his grandfather, but because of his own achievements.
-Cassius Dio Cocceianus, Roman History, Book XXI, 30
Jesus, Jesus' followers, and the earliest Christians were frequently considered a Jewish sect by their Roman masters, much as the Essenes or the Pharisees. Due to a long tradition of friendly relations between the various leaders of Judea and Rome, the Jews had been granted special privilege to practice Judaism under Roman rule[i]. But even though Rome tried not to interfere with the practice of harmless local customs, she would ruthlessly stamp out any movement which threatened the peace or stability of the empire. Consider this account of Roman General Titus Didius in 98 BC:
…Didius, with the concurrence of the ten legates who were still present, resolved to destroy them. Accordingly, he told their principal men that he would allot the land of Colenda to them because they were poor. Finding them very much pleased with this offer, he told them to communicate it to their people, and to come with their wives and children to the parceling out of the land. When they had done so he ordered his soldiers to vacate their camp, and these people, whom he wanted to ensnare, to go inside, so that he might make a list of their names, the men on one register and the women and children on another, in order to know how much land should be set apart for them. When they had gone inside the ditch and palisade, Didius surrounded them with his army and killed them all, and for this he was honored with a triumph.
-Appian of Alexandria, The Spanish Wars, 100
Or the fate of the followers of the legendary Spartacus, who led slaves against Rome in the third servile war:
A large number of his men fled from the battle-field to the mountains and Crassus followed them thither. They divided themselves in four parts, and continued to fight until they all perished except 6000, who were captured and crucified along the whole road from Capua to Rome.
-Appian, The Civil Wars, Book I, XIV, 120
Rome sometimes found ideas threatening as well. There was no Roman "Bill of Rights" guarantying free speech, or freedom of religion. Roman conservatives rather adhered to Quintus Ennius' tenet:
Moribus antiquis stat res Romana virisque. – "The Roman State stands on its ancient customs and men."
Obviously the morals of different cultures do not always agree. And the legality of Judaism under Roman law did not guarantee its compatibility with Roman society. The Hebrew and Christian monotheistic belief systems were hardly in keeping with a polytheistic world-view which believed that gladiatorial contests, frequently to the death, were a method of keeping the citizenry strong and accustomed to violent death[ii]. The Romans, for their part, thought that the exclusivity of monotheistic dogma hindered its adherents' loyalty to the empire[iii]. Greco-Roman culture even considered circumcision to be a barbaric practice, a ritual mutilation requiring surgical reversal[iv].
Due to these underlying incompatibilities, the Roman records from this period indicate that various regimes fluctuated in practice between disapproval of Judeo-Christian beliefs to armed reprisal against the practitioners of Judaism and Christianity. Let us examine the policies of first century Rome toward the Christians and the Jews.
Ancient Roman historians attest that Caesar Tiberius expelled the Jews from Rome to prevent them from polluting Roman culture. Here, accounts from three different Roman authors document the degree of Roman tolerance towards Judaism during the time when Jesus of Nazareth taught in Judea and Galilee[v]:
As the Jews flocked to Rome in great numbers and were converting many of the natives to their ways, he [Tiberius] banished most of them.
-Cassius Dio, Roman History, Book LVII, 18.5 [written around 220 AD]
There was a debate too about expelling the Egyptian and Jewish worship, and a resolution of the Senate was passed that four thousand of the freedmen class who were infected with those superstitions and were of military age should be transported to the island of Sardinia, to quell the brigandage of the place, a cheap sacrifice should they die from the pestilential climate. The rest were to quit Italy, unless before a certain day they repudiated their impious rites.
-Publius Cornelius Tacitus, The Annals, Book II, 85 [written around 110 AD]
He [Tiberius] abolished foreign cults, especially the Egyptian and the Jewish rites, compelling all who were addicted to such superstitions to burn their religious vestments and all their paraphernalia. Those of the Jews who were of military age he assigned to provinces of less healthy climate, ostensibly to serve in the army; the others of that same race or of similar beliefs he banished from the city, on pain of slavery for life if they did not obey. He banished the astrologers as well, but pardoned such as begged for indulgence and promised to give up their art.
-Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, Tiberius 36 [written 121 AD]
This Roman policy was adopted in 19 AD, nine years before Jesus' visit to Nain. The distinguished Roman Senator Tacitus [56-117 AD] echoes the prevailing Roman sentiment of his day when he calls the deaths of four thousand Jewish men "a cheap sacrifice." In the same way, he judges the practice of Judaism "impious" by Roman standards. Tiberius' edict was the official Roman position throughout Jesus' earthly ministry. Around the time that Jesus endured a Roman crucifixion for his beliefs, Tiberius rescinded the policy[vi], (31 or 32 AD.) Tacitus reports that Tiberius was 78 years old when he was smothered to death by Naevius Sutorius Macro, Prefect of the Praetorian Guard, on the 15th of March, 37 AD[vii]… (This was an example of Roman policy towards Jews during the time of Christ's earthly ministry. More examples of Roman policies towards Christians and Jews are included in Chapter III).

This research project arises from the previous R&D scheme "The painter's apprenticeship and the practice of painting in the Hispanic kingdoms (1350-1500)" (HAR 2012-32720. IP: M. Miquel Juan). It follows the same topic of research and includes the same group of professionals, formed by specialists from various academic fields such as History of Art, History, cultural heritage, Archaeology, restoration, Fine Arts, chemical sciences, Biology and museology. They belong to Complutense University of Madrid, the Institute of Cultural Heritage of Spain, National Heritage of Spain, the Prado National Museum, the Superior School of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage, the Center of Conservation and Restoration of Cultural Heritage of Castile and Leon, the Ignacio Zuloaga Foundation or the Center of Studies of the Flemish Painting of the Real Institute of Heritage of Brussels (KIK-IRPA).
We will take as a test-bed our previous interdisciplinary approach to the altarpiece and the Álvaro de Luna Chapel in the Toledo Cathedral. Therefore, we see the need to focus our efforts on the study of the entry routes of the "Flemish taste" in the Hispanic pictorial evolution at the end of the Middle Ages. The theme will be raised as an exemplum both to devise the guidelines set by royalty, particularly Juan II and Isabella I of Castile, and in the relationship/emulation developed by the nobility, specially based on the patronage of the Mendoza lineage, focusing on the comparative study between the social structure of the Royal Court and House and that of the high Castilian nobility. This provides a working base which includes historical figures (Juan II, Isabel I, Pedro Gonzalez de Mendoza or Maria de Luna), court artists (Michael Sittow, Juan de Flandes or Master of Miraflores) and key works of art (Madona Duran, altarpiece of Nájera, altarpiece of San Juan de Miraflores, altarpiece of El Muyo).
But, among the objectives set, it is not intended to offer a taxonomic or an inventory approach to a pictorial collection, but rather a causative and reasoned perspective about the development of late-gothic painting, through the networks of the art markets and the mobility of works and masters. The scope of the supply and demand will be addressed, which will be specified in the study of codes of conduct and social promotion through art, with its specific translation into the workshop practice occurred due to the phenomenon of the artistic copy - including its possible consideration as a collector's brand - and the participation of high quality foreign masters.
The ultimate objetive is the study of the late-gothic Hispanic art, particularly in the Crown of Castile, focused on the visual culture speciallyreflected in the pictorial language, both in its aesthetic reading -technical and visible-, as well as in regards tothe politics and propaganda. A holistic communication programme in accordance with a recent study of methodology that works on the issues of communication as a relevant historical reality in the analysis of political uses.
To achieve these objectives, we will combine the theoretical discourse centred on the historical and artistic analysis, the visual and literary rhetoric of the time and a strictly material analysis derived from physical, chemical and photographic studies. Likewise, we will look for links with other peninsular spaces to understand our own panorama from a perspective of diversity and interference.

Q: EF custom query with related tables I have a code first data model where I need to do a complex query returning some aggregate information from related tables. First my simplified model:
public class Forum
{
    public virtual int ForumID { get; set; }
    public virtual string Name { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<Topic> Topics { get; set; }
}

[NotMapped]
public class ForumWith : Forum
{
    public virtual int topics { get; set; }
    public virtual int messages { get; set; }
    public virtual DateTime lastDate { get; set; }
    public virtual int lastUser { get; set; }
}

public class Topic
{
    public virtual int TopicID { get; set; }
    public virtual string Subject { get; set; }
    public virtual int ForumID { get; set; }
    [ForeignKey("ForumID")]
    public virtual Forum Forum { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<Message> Messages { get; set; }
}

public class Message
{
    public virtual int MessageID { get; set; }
    public virtual int TopicID { get; set; }
    [ForeignKey("TopicID")]
    public virtual Topic Topic { get; set; }
    public virtual string Text { get; set; }
    public virtual DateTime CreatedDate { get; set; }
    public virtual User CreatedBy { get; set; }
}

What I want to do is populate the "ForumWith" object with the number of topics, the number of messages, and thedate and user from the last created message.
My first solution to do this was using a couple of loops over the forum.topics and forum.topics.messages collection. This works just fine, but the performance is abysmal.
To fix this I've created a SQL query doing a left join on the 3 tables, with group by and sum/max aggregates. This SQL i execute with context.Database.SqlQuery(sql); and the data is populated just fine, and the performance is very good.
My questions are:

*

*Is there any way I can replace the "int lastUser" from ForumWith with an actual user object "User lastUserObject" without having to loop over the result set and populate it manualy from the context.Users.

*Is there a better way to do this kind of aggregations through linq/EF while keeping the performance?
SQL:
SELECT  dbo.Forum.ForumID ,
        dbo.Forum.Name ,
        COUNT(DISTINCT dbo.Topics.TopicID) AS topics,
        COUNT(DISTINCT MessageID) AS messages,
        MAX(dbo.Messages.CreatedDate) AS lastDate,
        (SELECT UserName FROM [User] where UserId =
        CONVERT(INT,SUBSTRING(max(CONVERT(varchar,dbo.Messages.CreatedDate,20) + '#' + CONVERT(VARCHAR,dbo.Messages.CreatedBy_UserId,20)),21,10))) AS lastUser
FROM dbo.Forum
    LEFT JOIN dbo.Topics ON dbo.Forum.ForumID = dbo.Topics.ForumID
    LEFT JOIN dbo.Messages ON dbo.Topics.TopicID = dbo.Messages.TopicID
GROUP BY  dbo.Forum.ForumID ,
        dbo.Forum.Name

A: There are a couple Linq 2 EF ways to accomplish this. The first shown below is likely the slowest of the two, but without your schema and populated data I can't be certain. Both assume list contains the populated list of Forums (most likely will be pulled from your context, i.e. dbContext.Forums)
Method 1
list.Select(
            x =>
            new ForumWith
                {
                    ForumID = x.ForumID,
                    Name = x.Name,
                    topics = x.Topics.Count,
                    messages = x.Topics.SelectMany(y => y.Messages).Count(),
                    lastDate = x.Topics.SelectMany(y => y.Messages).OrderByDescending(y => y.CreatedDate).First().CreatedDate,
                    lastUser = x.Topics.SelectMany(y => y.Messages).OrderByDescending(y => y.CreatedDate).First().CreatedBy
                });

Method 2
from forum in list
let latest = forum.Topics.SelectMany(x => x.Messages).OrderByDescending(x => x.CreatedDate).First()
select
    new ForumWith
        {
            ForumID = forum.ForumID,
            Name = forum.Name,
            topics = forum.Topics.Count,
            messages = forum.Topics.SelectMany(y => y.Messages).Count(),
            lastDate = latest.CreatedDate,
            lastUser = latest.CreatedBy
        };

We're wrapping up our week long stay in Silver City, or simply "Silver," as locals call it. This small city, with a population of about 10,000, is a little bit off the beaten path and an area of contrasts. The rugged, scenic Gila National Forest is nearby with miles of trails and natural beauty. Yet, also nearby, is land scarred by two open pit mines. Silver City was founded as a mining town. Mining has always been here, starting with hard-rock mining and now continues on with the open pit mines. However, while many of the other small towns in this area faded away with the closure of the mines, Silver City still remains as the county seat and is a vibrant small town.
The glossy brochure on open pit mining calls it "nature's color palette." It continues to state "the vivid colors displayed by the rocks and soils seen in road-cuts, waste dumps, and particularly the dramatic open-pit mines are the result of various geologic processes". Boy, what a spin on an open pit mine!
The old downtown has been revitalized and has at least two dozen art galleries and studios. There are a few pricey restaurants along with the usual mom-and-pop eateries serving delicious New Mexico cuisine which we sampled one afternoon. The small Western New Mexico University adds a bit of culture to the mix with monthly music and theatre on campus. It looks like the summer is filled with lots of events like a blues festival and a bike ride called Tour of the Gila.
While here, we visited the Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument. The monument is only 44 miles away but State Route 15 is a winding, narrow highway with many hairpin turns and takes about 1-1/2 hours to drive (we took the truck, not the rig). The ruins at the monument are similar to Mesa Verde in Colorado or the Moon House in Utah. We were lucky to be able to visit the monument because it is scheduled to be closed this week for a month to repair a bridge that was damaged by a fire this year.
We also took a tour of the nearby Fort Bayard which was originally home to the Buffalo Soldiers and played an integral part in trying to protect white settlers and miners as they moved into the area populated with Apaches. The fort is in need of some TLC and many of the buildings are slowly decaying. The woman who gave the tour lived onsite during the 1960s and was very passionate about trying to save the fort. She gave us a lot of insight into the history of the fort and peppered her tour with memories of growing up there. The society to save Fort Bayard has visions of how to save and restore this fort but the state currently has no interest in preserving it.
We enjoyed our stay here and this is an area that would be worthy of future stops if we travel through this corridor again. But now, we'll continue on. Next stop is the Elks Club in Willcox, Arizona where we'll park for a couple days and meet our RVing friends Bill and Cathy for a hike at Chiricahua National Monument.

The Pitch for Candelabra Is as Big as Liberace Himself

Share All sharing options for: The Pitch for Candelabra Is as Big as Liberace Himself
Candelabra Showroom
Rendering: The Candelabra Supper Club
Go big or go home, or as Liberace said, "too much of a good thing is wonderful!"
When Eater Vegas last left Carluccio's Tivoli Gardens within Liberace Plaza, we told you the former restaurant owned by Liberace himself was working its way through the permit stage with an eye to be named Roma Stage and hoping simply to offer evening dinner shows with impersonators of Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Dean Martin and Barbra Streisand.
Now, an Indiegogo campaign, with a razzle dazzle to match "Mr. Showmanship" himself, gives much, much more details on the upgraded project and adds an unrelenting pitch to help lure you into a VIP world beyond your wildest dreams.
The Candelabra supper club is hoping to raise $500,000 in the next 53 days. With a restored kitchen and building infrastructure already in place, the aim is to open in September with help from this influx of crowdfund cash and allow the owners to unveil "the epitome of Liberace."
The main attraction is the showroom. There will ticketed nightly shows from 6 to 9 p.m., seven nights a week, featuring those aforementioned tribute acts, "that will carry you back to the Golden Era of Las Vegas." Coats are required for guests.
But there's more.
Candelabra Showroom [Rendering: The Candelabra Supper Club]
Lee's After Hours will be an exclusive club within the supper club. How exclusive? "Imagine if Ian Schragers' Studio 54 in New York City only accepted 80 people per night."
The Candelabra plans to advertise on electronic billboards on the Strip to "40 million people a year," but still only let in 80 people at a time. "How would that make you feel?" ask the owners.
This room will cater to the elite VIP's of Las Vegas, promises the publicity and provide an "ultra personal, super exclusive glimpse into the life of the super rich, connected and extravagant."
But be warned, "only the few will be allowed access, regardless of income, position, title or lineage, it is a "who's who" of the who's who in the Entire World." Lee's After Hours will also only be open three nights a week. The current plan does not mention if coats are required for guests.
Royal Bar [Rendering: The Candelabra Supper Club]
For those not on the VIP of VIP lists, the Royal Bar will happily serve you "only the finest spirits, beer, and wine available in the world. Meet the captains of industry, engage in thoughtful discussion, and relish the memorabilia adorning the walls of the Royal bar."
We're told this bar was a gift from "the Queen Mother, and the Queen of England" to Liberace himself, but the original name of The Queen's Bar has been changed for the revamp. And "coats required, & coat of arms if you have one."
As of May 6, the Indiegogo campaign has raised $50 of its $500,000 goal.

American physicist Ernest Orlando Lawrence was the father of "big science" — the collaborative, big-scale (and spendy) projects that led to the discovery of so many subatomic particles in the 1950s and '60s. Lawrence went to college in South Dakota and Minnesota before getting his doctorate in physics from Yale in 1925. He taught at Yale until the University of California at Berkeley lured him away in 1928. At Berkeley he invented the cyclotron, a revolutionary particle accelerator built to blast atoms (building on work done by Ernest Rutherford). Bigger and more powerful cyclotrons were developed throughout the 1930s at his newly-established Radiation Laboratory, and in 1939 Lawrence was awarded the Nobel Prize. During World War II he worked at Oak Ridge, Tennessee on the development of the atomic bomb, and in the early 1950s he joined Edward Teller in promoting the hydrogen bomb. (Together they got a new weapons lab established, the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory.) Lawrence was sent by President Dwight Eisenhower to Geneva in 1958 to participate in nuclear test ban negotiations with the Soviet Union, but Lawrence took ill and had to be rushed back to California, where he died. It is generally agreed that most modern advances in nuclear physics could not have happened without Lawrence's cyclotron.
The chemical element lawrencium, discovered in 1961, is named in his honor… Lawrence was awarded the Enrico Fermi Award by the U.S. government in 1957.


About six months ago, we thought our contractor was going to start, let's call him big D, and we rushed out to purchase the vanity and toilet, picking it out and purchasing it in one day, the very same day that we bought a new car- How's that for cramming it all in! Well, it was a mistake, and as much as my husband will try to convince me, you cannot pick out something major for your house in one clean sweep.
Fast forward to the present time, and Big D, puts in the vanity, which I hadn't even thought about or re visited since it has been sitting in our garage for the past six months, and I hated it! Well, Big D was not happy and neither was I, which pretty much summed up how this past month went.
It has been one hell of a month, with a major snowstorm every week, school closings, delayed openings, freezing temperatures, stir crazy children, big D trying to complete this project which would have taken a week but took an entire month.
There were blips along the way like the awful vanity, which I will repeat, caused anger and frustration on his part and severe anxiety on my side…Picture my face, frozen in fear, white as a ghost when told I needed to get a new vanity in a day or two so he could continue his work. In a past life, that would have been an exciting adventure…latte in hand, gabbing to my Mom about ideas, (Mom has been in Florida on vacay for the past month so no help there), perhaps popping in to the nail salon for a little mani – pedi pick me up, meeting a friend for lunch, and browsing in stores to find the perfect vanity..
SCREEEEECH! Stop this fantasy right now- I don't even think I ever even had that sort of an experience, and probably never will, well, not for at least twenty years!
So back to reality – as I look down at my grandma hands- yup, I'm only 37 but these hands look like they have been through the war..rough, red, wrinkly skin, sorry looking cuticles, and the nails actually look like they have had animals gnawing on them at night. These hands are truly a tragedy.
Right, so me and my sad hands had to corral the girls into the car, get on my way, and just start shopping. I forgot snacks, I forgot shoes for Arianna, and I forgot that I was a real person for the next two days. I felt like I lived in a car, in stores, and only ate Cheez Its. I cannot tell you how many Cheez Its we ate in the past month… Between my nervous munching and my desperate choice of lunches and dinner for these girls as we drudged along store after store, aisle after aisle, looking for items for this bathroom. I feel horrified thinking about what that yellow cheesy fakeness has done to our poor digestive systems!
There were many kind people along the way, the sales clerks who frantically tried to calm down my two year old during her temper tantrums and meltdowns about wanting a certain candy or wanting out of the shopping cart, the kind woman at a local plumbing store who let the little one run around her showcase without her shoes, leaving a trail of crumbs, while touching everything in sight, and the friends who listened to me moan and complain about what a hard time I have had this past month.
I did, finally, find a vanity that I liked, I found a mirror, a chandelier, and the bathroom is essentially done, minus a few personal touches like a window treatment, and hand towels, but it was certainly not easy.
Every time Big D was working, my little Arianna was screaming and crying bloody murder from every sound that he made with the power drill, his compressor, staple gun, hammering, and even his mere 6' 5" presence, it truly has been an exhausting experience, a mom friend even said to me the other day, "You look so tired," and another friend was like, "Oh Jill, you need a night out," and another Mom was like, "Oh you just bring those girls over to me and we'll have a glass of wine." OK- stop right there- a glass of wine? This lady doesn't really know me- It's going to take a lot more than that!
1 We are saving money by not buying clothes.
Oh, got a little carried away there with that description…it's just I've been there done that with the diet/cutting out thing; granted, my quitting of foods whether it be sweets, bagels, snacks, or wine never lasts more than a week, or shamefully, less than a week, but still-when you feel trapped in any way, be it your house, your food restrictions, your ability to use your car (I HOPE THIS PROBLEM IS RESOLVED BY NEXT WEEK !) You can go hog wild when you're free, but maybe that's just me.
It's a bad habit I have, purging, cleaning, and throwing away toys, clothes, arts and crafts, you name it- I throw it out when feeling trapped and a slight loss of control.
someone is starting to leave us presents in the garbage can!
4 I have adopted a work uniform.
Much like people in jail wear their orange jumpsuit, nurses wear their scrubs, and police officers working for the good of the city, wear their big badges and buttons, I too, wear my black yoga pants, a tank, and a purple, velour, zip up hoody, sometimes I even wear the same thing to bed.
I feel like being trapped in the house lends itself to a uniform- I am like the jailbird (enclosed in these walls), I am a nurse, tending to these girls all day, and definitely a cop, breaking up toddler fights, ensuring the little ones safety, and putting them in jail (time out) when need be.
The premise: Stay at home mom never leaves the house, watch her turn tricks and see her roller coaster of emotions throughout the day… She goes from happy, loving mommy to crazed, frustrated, and on the verge of exploding, to looking like a zombie, or kind of blank feeling (i.e. staring out the window for long periods of time) to a compulsive cleaning freak to a laid back and loving the mess, to a snuggler and a cuddler to a GET AWAY FROM ME NOW to a "Let's have sandwiches cut up in cute ways!" to a frustrated momma flinging food on the table to a Super Mom to Soggy Mom. ok, well, I don't think I have ever been in the "super" category but soggy for sure, especially after I give the girls their third bath for the day- Hey, it's an activity and I haven't thrown out the bath tub – just the bath toys – but those get so gross, has anyone ever squeezed those plastic little duckies that should squirt water out only to find out that flakes of black mildew come shooting out? GROSS!
So that's that the show folks and this TV show is for mature viewing audiences only.
"Mom, you left the glass there so it's your fault," she retorted.
This statement so eloquently spoken by my daughter was the beginning of my day. We have a contractor here doing work and my daughter is petrified of any noise that he makes, whether it be banging on the walls , a drill sound, or just his mere presence causes her to scream and cry and run for Mommy- sounds cute doesn't it but not while you are trying to get two girls dressed and fed and out the door and forget about brushing teeth!
After music class which was still very early in this long day – a 9:30 am class, I temporarily lost my keys- its freezing cold here in New Jersey, I have the two year old in my arms, and I can't find my car keys anywhere, I am embarrassed to admit I started to tear up, AGAIN…It must be my hormones but I cried a little on the way to music class, Pink's Just Give Me a Reason blaring in the car, which always makes me cry, just blubbering about how is this my morning over and over again- the rushing, the crying, the frustration, the TOO SMALL clothes- these kids are growing like weeds!
Thank goodness for my friend in music class who actually got out of her car to help me look and she said, "You need another set of eyes." After searching high and low, she found them in my daughter's winter coat pocket.
We had a few errands to run in the morning while Gia was at school and it was the usual temper tantrums and such …the day moved on with crying and hysterics on the garage floor, refusing to come inside because I un – snapped her myself.
At this point I was already pooped out but I was invited to a play date- someone I never had a play date with before so I couldn't cancel on her- first impressions are the most important ones, right? Well, I screwed that one up or rather my two darlings did…get back to that in a second.
In the few hours that we had before heading over to new friend's house, my daughter, who tortured us with non stop vomiting for a year and a half straight when putting her to bed, decided to revert back to her old ways and hurl the contents of every thing she ate all over my kitchen floor- the reason- I yelled at her, yup, I lost my temper on her, after she insisted on icing the cookies that I made for the play date herself- but the problem was that she was icing and then licking the spoon and the bowl and telling Arianna that she couldn't help which resulted in major screaming and crying…just writing this is making my heartbeat faster! This is so hard! How do moms do this???
Oh right…they have their children in school for more than two days a week and only two and a half hours at that- I am the only Mom that I know who is basically home all day with these children, and by that I mean children of this age- I know that there are moms who are doing the home schooling thing but they must have some secret, or help, or a husband who comes home at a decent hour!
We cleaned up, Gia took a mega fast bath to clean off the puke- made it to the play date – the girls were terrible! Arianna screamed and cried when she didn't get her way and Gia flat out hit me with her dress up magic wand when I said we had to leave…Arianna threw her typical kicking and screaming and thrashing of her legs when I tried to change her diaper, which is always fun at someone else's house!
The day didn't get much better and the icing on the cake was the call from my husband saying first he was going to be late and second, his car was dead at the train station.
I didn't even feel like writing this post because I am tired, frustrated, and to be perfectly honest, sick of writing about these sort of days which seem to happen ever so frequently- I love these girls, I hate these situations.

Film scores perfect scores
Mihnea Manduteanu 12th August 2015
I'm still on a high from having heard Joe Kraemers's exciting "Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation" score when another 60s spy inspired movie remake is making its way to us with a score to match. Daniel Pemberton already convinced me he can write for this genre with his excellent score for "The game" earlier this year so he is the right man to compose the score for "The man from U.N.C.L.E.". I remember the old TV show; I think I watched a few episodes. This is quintessential 60s spy action and the composer should be like a kid in the candy store with all this material to be inspired from.
My first thought when the music starts is to wonder if by any chance, in true spy fashion, this isn't actually Lalo Schifrin who is wearing a Daniel Pemberton mask. The deception is real and I need to be very careful. I can't trust anything around me. There's a lot of sneaking around and hiding in the shadows and I have to play the same game. The music is so cool that I feel the impulse to stop it for a bit so I can make the feeling last longer. I don't want to waste all of it and be left with no surprises. The opening cue "Out of the garage" is a showstopper and I wonder where can Pemberton go from here. I am in love with this smooth track and its jazzy exuberance.
I lost my focus for just a bit because of that deceiving and addictive cue and now Lalo is gone and Daniel Pemberton puts on the Ennio Morricone mask. The name of the cue "His name is Napoleon Solo" seems ironic because with the raw guitar motifs and the chimes make me thing of a man with no name. The shadow of the maestro is back in the rambunctious "Breaking out (the cowboy escape)" which sounds as if taken from the most legendary Mexican Westerns.
The next phase is "Escape from East Berlin" and I can't remember ever hearing a cooler piece of 60s spy music. This cue is unbelievable. It sounds like an unreal jam session, complete with vocal improvisation, woodwind and an insane dialogue of instruments that just floors me. I am jumping and grooving in my chair and I instantly put down the gun and the hat and look for my list of best cues of 2015. This one should not miss. I can't imagine how much fun the guys must have had recording this one. Do I hear the echo of a laugh at the end?
The romance of Italy… the subtle and charming inserts from the places where the mission takes place…the coolness… oh yes, the coolness of this score is timeless and surprising. Daniel Pemberton did everything right. This is just perfection. This is how a 60s spy movie score should sound like and every single note from "The man from U.N.C.L.E." is a highlight and a small piece in the smoothest dance you'll hear this year. This score shot up on my list of best spy scores ever and I will listen to it time and time again. Do not miss this one if you want to be entertained.

Mike Stout is an American labor supporter, social activist and rock guitar player and protest singer, who lives in Pittsburgh, United States. He is also known as the "World's Grievance Man."

Music and activism
Stout was born in Kentucky, and began his musical career in New York City in 1968 playing his protest songs at Cafe Wha?, The Bitter End, and The Gaslight Cafe coffee house where Bob Dylan also played.

In 1977 Stout became a steelworker at Homestead Works, where he was elected the union's head grievance man.  He used his music to rally his co-workers at union meetings, where "they fought to win more than $10 million in lost wages, severance pay, pensions, and unemployment benefits for 3,000 displaced works... with thousands of families losing unemployment benefits and facing foreclosure."  Stout organized a benefit concert that drew attention from CBS, NBC, the AP, UPI and the international press to raise funds, which later led to the formation of the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food bank.

After the mill closings, Stout started writing songs again.  He has recorded nine CDs in the last ten years and performed across the United States and Europe with "the message of human solidarity and peace."  A Duquesne University professor took one of his CDs to the People to People book store in Germany and his songs.  People to People, impressed with his message, began stocking his CDs and sponsored his four concert tours in Germany and Poland. Stout claims to have sold "thousands of CDs" in Europe.

Influence
Mike Stout describes himself as "a socially conscious singer song-writer and community leader" who "leads crusades against local and global economic injustice, rallying people with his music, and he organizes them to take action."  He tells "his stories from the heart about people who are affected by unemployment, or social injustice or war." He states his tunes and lyrics are influenced by artists like Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and Neil Young, whom he calls "musical heroes".

John Hayes of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette wrote:
"In the Woody Guthrie tradition, his songs reflect contemporary issues without resorting to journalism. They're more like partisan op-ed columns that grab political opponents by the throat and don't let go."

Organizations and causes Stout Supports
Stout supports various organizations and causes including, Depleted Uranium Watch, Campaign Against Depleted Uranium, Thomas Merton Center.  He is a founding board member of the Just Harvest and Steel Valley Authority organizations which "aid displaced workers and the poor."

Heavy Metal Pop-Metal Album Rock Arena Rock
Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, CA
Slick Boisterous Exuberant Smooth Restrained Yearning Carefree Plaintive Rollicking Celebratory
AllMusic Review by Johnny Loftus
With 1987's Push, Virginia Wolf still seemed to have their heart set on a straightforward AOR sound. Unfortunately, they chose to focus on a keyboard-heavy sound that largely undercut the album's handful of rocking moments. Jason Bonham's presence behind the kit continued to get exposure for the group, and Chris Ousey's vocals were still strong. But Push's was led by prominent keyboard figures that brought it closer to the hit pop sound of Glass Tiger's "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)"; indeed "One Night" used the same synthesized trumpet sound to great effect. Later tracks like "Man in the Moon" and "Let It Go" were even more keys-driven, and in the face of such automation Push's occasional splashes of muscular guitar dissipated quickly. While his drums are effective throughout, Bonham's playing is never very noticeable, since reverb or the ever-present synths keep everything in soundalike territory. Even so, fans of the drummer or '80s AOR should take note of Wounded Bird's reissue of Push and Virginia Wolf's self-titled debut, since they are the albums' first time on CD.

Resisting the Eradication Regime, Defending Your Right to Cannabis
Bill Weinberg's blog
Medical community decries fed threats against public officials
Posted on July 3rd, 2011 by Global Ganja Report and tagged cannabis, Delaware, medicinal, United States, Vermont.
Deputy US Attorney General James Cole issued a controversial memorandum June 29 in an attempt to clarify federal policy on medical marijuana. Calling cannabis "a dangerous drug," Cole's memo threatened enforcement actions against "Persons who are in the business of cultivating, selling or distributing marijuana, and those who knowingly facilitate such activities," including local and state officials. The memo further underscored that "State laws or local ordinances are not a defense to civil or criminal enforcement of federal law."
Medical marijuana advocates are decrying this new policy as a retreat from President Obama's pledge that he was "not going to be using Justice Department resources to try to circumvent state laws," and from the spirit of a previous memo issued by Deputy Attorney General David Ogden in October 2009. "It is disingenuous of the Obama Administration to say it is not attacking patients while obstructing the implementation of local and state medical marijuana laws," said Steph Sherer, executive director of Americans for Safe Access, the country's largest medical marijuana advocacy group. "The president is using intimidation tactics to stop elected officials from serving their constituents, thereby pushing patients into the illicit market."
Despite the wording of the Ogden memo that federal resources should not be used for "individuals whose actions are in clear and unambiguous compliance with existing state laws providing for the medical use of marijuana," Cole claimed that his memo was consistent with that of his predecessor. However, patient advocates are questioning what they call glaring inconsistencies. "How are federal threats against local and state officials who are adopting public health measures warranted at any time, let alone at a time of fiscal constraint?" asked Sherer.
Over the past few weeks, US attorneys have sent letters threatening public officials from at least 10 states with criminal prosecution if they implement laws regulating the production and distribution of medical marijuana. The Cole memo appeared to be an attempt to reinforce those threats.
Sixteen states and the District of Columbia have legalized medical marijuana for patients with physician approval. Laws regulating dispensaries exist in 10 states—Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Maine, Michigan, New Jersey, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont—but some states have suspended those laws as a result of federal intimidation. Notably, the states of Vermont and Delaware recently stood up to federal threats and defied such intimidation by passing laws licensing the distribution of medical marijuana. (ASA, July 1)
