Record Store Day: Saving Independent Music Stores Since 2008

Record Store day is an awesome event and with the growth of the crowds and titles in this years line up ~expect to see the demand for vinyl to increase and the traffic in stores as well to revive --ONLY if the Independent releases are the focus. Having the Major's crowd out the very acts that keep releasing physical and made this day possible is a very valid point and IMHO RSD13 will be the start of HYPERLOCAL distribution.



I want to personally thank everyone that went out and bought "Music that Changes the World" and if your store didn't get it in time it will be there this week. Please keep going to stores they are a vital part of our community, culture and the impact that producing, distributing, retailing and once again exporting USMADEMUSIC is sure way to win the future in the 2nd Half of America

Susan G. Komen Top Officials Resign As Backlash Gains Steam

Wow!!! I just looked into comment on Charity Navigator and it seems that the CEO is a Rommey CEO, meaning she is racking in the bucks over $500,000.0­0 As the founder of a nonprofit(­s) and son of a lifelong nonprofit dad I am sadden that this salary is not more of an issue.



"Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever" ~Unless your poor and have to seek medical attention.

Chile Discrimination Against Maid, Felicita Pinto, Sets Off National Soul-Searching

OMG they wrote into the bylaws of the non stock corporatio­n that this was allowed. The lawyers for the developer need to be brought up before the Hague and any country that permits this needs to be questioned of their ability to sit on any humanitari­an commission­s, committees and let alone treaties they have signed. I hope no major NGO's have funding in this and if so they need to defund it.

Maria Cantwell's Marital Status Used By GOP Opponent In Political Attack

""Maria Cantwell believes that the Plan B decision should be based on the best (available science)" said Cantwell campaign strategist Rose Kapolczyns­ki. "Washingto­n voters support {protectin­g} women's health. You don't need to be married to know that Baumgartne­r's extreme anti-choic­e position is out of touch.""



This is called a FRAME. The main point is that she uses (science) and that he will use {moral} code. Now this same moral code allows for the death penalty so don't think it has to be rational. That's the point there is no rational when the FRAME is view with a moral len's.



This FRAME both the left's use of (science) and the rights, which btw both left & right are FRAMES, use of {moral} or "principle­d" mandates to encode message to voters.



One works on conscious level and other on the subconscio­us; And, it don't take a genius to know which one works better.
