President Obama says that he cannot change Washington from the inside

Is the DNC Afraid of Democracy? Clinton WH Counselor Says Party a “Dead Carcass” for Stifling Debate

"This is supposed to be a political party. In a healthy society, there would be a democratic process in the Democratic Party, by which elected people would be overseeing these issues by making sure there wasn’t just nepotism and insider dealing," Curry says. "That the political party itself — which is supposed to be the progressive party — has become mortgaged to a small group of Washington insiders, who raise money from large corporate PACs, [and] has become just a dead carcass of what it once was, is the most important piece of information that this contretemps over the data files has emphasized.

But what about Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton’s record on dictators? Earlier this week, Clinton addressed the annual AIPAC conference, seeking to cast herself as a stronger ally to Israel than Donald Trump.

Did companies and countries buy access to the State Department by donating to the Clinton Foundation?

Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter James Grimaldi of The Wall Street Journal, who has covered the Clinton Foundation for years, looks at the relationship between the Clinton Foundation and the State Department during Hillary Clinton’s time as secretary of state, and what it would be if she became president. Newly released State Department emails include exchanges between top members of the Clinton Foundation and Clinton’s top State Department advisers, including Huma Abedin and Cheryl Mills. The FBI reportedly wanted to investigate the Clinton Foundation earlier this year, but U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch pushed back. Continue reading

Glenn Greenwald Asks “Why Did Saudi Regime & Other Gulf Tyrannies Donate Millions to Clinton Foundation?” Transcript and video.

Questions surrounding Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation continue to grow. On Sunday, Democratic National Committee interim chairperson Donna Brazile defended Clinton’s meetings as secretary of state with Clinton Foundation donors, saying, "When Republicans meet with their donors, with their supporters, their activists, they call it a meeting. When Democrats do that, they call it a conflict." Donna Brazile’s comments come in response to an Associated Press investigation revealing that while Hillary Clinton served as secretary of state, more than half of the private citizens she met with during the reporting period had donated to the Clinton Foundation. The AP investigation comes after a three-year battle to gain access to State Department calendars. The analysis shows that at least 85 of 154 people Hillary Clinton had scheduled phone or in-person meetings with were foundation donors. We speak to Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept. His most recent piece is headlined "Why Did the Saudi Regime and Other Gulf Tyrannies Donate Millions to the Clinton Foundation?" Continue reading

Концертное видео SABATON

"The Attack Of The Dead Men", новое концертное видео группы SABATON, доступно для просмотра ниже. Эта песня взята со свежего альбома группы «The Great War». Материал был записан в ходе концерта группы в Москве, который состоялся 13 марта. Во время шоу на сцену неожиданно поднялся RADIO TAPOK и исполнил эту песню вместе с группой.

RADIO TAPOK – российский музыкант, получивший известность благодаря исполнению множества рок и метал кавер-версий на русском языке. Музыкант ранее уже выпускал свою кавер-версию «The Attack Of The Dead Men» по-русски.

Басист и мастермайнд SABATON Pär Sundström:

«Наша совместная работа с Radio Tapok - это особая честь для нас. Это очень талантливый музыкант, и его кавер на нашу песню «Attack Of The Dead Men» был принят так тепло, что мы не раздумывая решили пригласить его на сцену, чтобы вместе с нами исполнить эту песню на концертах в Москве и Санкт-Петербурге. А выступление получилось таким хорошим, что у нас не осталось другого выбора, кроме как выпустить нашу совместную работу в виде сингла!»

Песня «The Attack Of The Dead Men» посвящена событиям, связанным с крепостью Осовец во время Первой мировой войны, и знаменитой битве, где немецкие войска применили химическое оружие на основе хлора против российских защитников крепости, у которых не было средств от газовой атаки: они были вынуждены от отчаяния закрывать лица мокрой одеждой. Нападающие не ожидали, что кто-либо в крепости останется в живых, поэтому ответная атака стала абсолютно неожиданной и успешной. Кашляющие кровью защитники с лицами, обмотанными окровавленными тряпками, пошли вперед и обратили противника в бегство – так родилась знаменитая легенда об «атаке мертвецов».

Сейчас сингл доступен на цифровых платформах, а 10 июля 2020 будет выпущено специальное лимитированное издание на 12”-дюймовом виниле «The Attack Of The Dead Men' (Live in Moscow feat. RADIO TAPOK)». Планируется три вида: желто-зеленый винил с «брызгами» (специальное российское издание, подробнее по ссылке), цветной винил, пикчер диск. Все издания выходят ограниченным тиражом 666 шт.

Последний на сегодняшний день альбом SABATON «The Great War» был выпущен в 2019 году. Он занял первые места в чартах разных стран, включая Германию, Швейцарию и Швецию. Диск был прекрасно принят как поклонниками, так и критикой. Работа содержит ряд песен, которые стали выдающимися и хитовыми синглами: «Great War», «82nd All The Way», «The Red Baron» и «Fields of Verdun».

Недавно SABATON были вынуждены отложить часть концертов своего тура по России из-за пандемии коронавируса. Сейчас стали известны новые даты, в графике появились новые города.

"Мы успели отыграть девять концертов из 18-ти, пока этот чертов вирус не вынудил нас отменить все остальные. С тех самых пор мы работали днем и ночью, чтобы найти возможность вернуться в Россию и Беларусь и закончить начатое. Тур проходил фантастически до того момента, когда нам пришлось прервать его, и мы с нетерпением ждем своего возвращения" – говорит Pär Sundström.

Гитарист STONE SOUR работает «над иным сольным проектом»

Гитарист STONE SOUR Josh Rand подтвердил "Behind The Vinyl", что он работает над новым сольным проектом:

«У меня есть двенадцать готовых тем. Сейчас я ищу вокалистов, разных вокалистов».

На вопрос относительно направления музыки нового проекта Josh ответил:

«Думаю, это будет отличаться от ожиданий большинства. Я решил, что если я и буду делать что-то подобное, то это не будет звучать похоже на STONE SOUR, потому что... А смысл? Так что многое из этого, ну по крайней мере, половина песен... Я начал играть — я не должен был говорить, что я начал играть на пианино. Я знаю, как сделать мини-пианино, так что теперь я отличный игрок... Но большая часть этого — пианино-ориентированный материал, и всё в таком духе. И я начал внедрять во всё это другие инструменты — всякую безумную перкуссию и всё такое. Просто я хочу получать удовольствие от создания и не пытаться создать новый "30/30-150" или находиться под давлением от попыток это сделать. Так что я плясал от этого, и вот куда зашёл».

По словам музыканта, он хотел бы анонсировать проект до конца этого года. #Stone_Sour #StoneSour #AlternativeMetal #Alternative_Metal

Tony Iommi не против концертов BLACK SABBATH

В новом интервью с SiriusXM "Trunk Nation" у легендарного гитариста Tony Iommi спросили, доволен ли он тем, как прошёл прощальный тур BLACK SABBATH "The End", на что он ответил:

«Было здорово иметь возможность отправиться в последний тур. Честно говоря, я чувствовал себя неважно [из-за] этого, потому что в основном это был мой выбор, моя вина, потому что турне для меня в некоторой степени было в физическом плане не самой лучшей идеей. Я имею в виду, что приходилось возвращаться в часа утра после концерта — ты отыграл концерт, а потом летишь обратно в отель — это было много возвращений поздними ночами. Я находился в таких же условиях, как когда мне было 20. Несмотря на то, что мы путешествовали [на] лучших [условиях] — у нас был собственный самолет, у нас были потрясающие отели, и нас разместили в Нью-Йорке или Лос-Анджелесе на 10 дней, или где-то ещё, это было вот так. Выходили из отеля, летели на самолёте, давали концерт, возвращались, но к тому времени, как мы заканчивали, возвращались в отель и ложились спать, уже было три-четыре часа. А для меня это было трудно, и мой доктор сказал мне попробовать немного успокоиться. И в то время это казалось правильным.

Особенно после всего, что случилось с Ронни [Джеймсом Дио], мне очень понравился тот период [с HEAVEN & HELL], когда мы были снова с Дио, мы очень сблизились с этой группой, и это была отличная группа. А потом мы решили заново собрать SABBATH с Ozz'ом [Ozzy Osbourne'ом], и это было круто для завершения карьеры. Но я думаю, что если бы Ронни был жив, я бы, наверное, делал что-нибудь с ним сейчас».

Iommi также ответил на вопрос, возможны ли разовые выступления группы:

«Думаю, это было бы неплохо, ну если мы сможем это сделать. Сложность в том, по крайней мере с SABBATH, что это всё серьёзное предприятие, ты не можешь просто взять и отыграть, так как нужны техники, полная линейка оборудования и всё такое. И это должен быть год или полтора тура... Я не против чего-то такого, я просто хотел бы всё сделать иначе». #Black_Sabbath #BlackSabbath #HardRock #Hard_Rock #HeavyMetal #Heavy_Metal

Демо-версия от STONE SOUR

STONE SOUR опубликовали демо-версию композиции "Mission Statement", которая в итоге вошла в пластинку "Audio Secrecy". Гитарист группы, Josh Rand, написал:

«По окончании турового цикла в поддержку "Come What(ever) May" я начал работать над новой музыкой. Я тогда размышлял о новом совместном проекте. Мой друг Jeremy Colson (он играл в группе у Steve'а Vai'я) играл на кое-каком материале из того, что я написал. Мы записали несколько песен в студии Sun Prairie. Я всегда хотел там записаться, потому что там была записана вся классика Shrapnel Records. Увы, но проект не получился, но я знал, что у этой песни есть потенциал. Когда мы записывали Audio Secrecy, у нашего продюсера Nick'a Raskulinecz'a было ощущение, что у нас нет подходящего открывающего трека, и я отдал эту песню для STONE SOUR». #Stone_Sour #StoneSour #AlternativeMetal #Alternative_Metal

SLC-1L-09: Compressing Tonal Range With Specular Highlights



White marble, dark chocolate, one light source. Problem?

Not at all. Because pretty much everything you can actually see across the top of that box is not really the "correct" tonality of the chocolate. It's all specular highlights.

Controlling the density of specular highlights is what compresses the subject's wide tonal range and unifies everything into one smooth exposure.

Announcing (2) Small-Class Lighting Workshops Baltimore / Washington, DC Area, Dec. 6 and 7



UPDATE: Both workshops filled very quickly. I only do these about once a year; apologies for the imbalance. I have set up a system so people who are potentially interested in future small-class lighting workshops can receive advance notice. More info here.

__________

I'll be teaching two, full-day lighting workshops in the suburban Baltimore/DC area on December 6 and 7.

They are two separate one-day events. These are small-group workshops, with a maximum class size of 12 people each day. These are shooting workshops, and you'll be behind (and/or in front of!) a camera for most of the day.

Assuming you arrive at this class with a basic understanding of f/stops and shutter speeds, you will leave with a strong foundation in the fundamentals of off-camera lighting. You will be comfortable using single and multiple lights both alone and/or balanced with a mix of ambient lighting.

All lighting gear will be provided. We will also provide lunch.

You will need to bring a camera that is adjustable in manual mode and has a hot shoe connection for a flash, a lens that covers normal and/or portrait range, one or two fully charged batteries and an empty storage card. Maybe a notebook and pen if you like.

That's it. Just show up ready to learn and to have fun. Leave the rest to me.


Details

Dates:
December 6 and 7, 2019

Time:
9:30am - 5:30pm

Price:
$259

Location:
Sandy Spring Friends Lyceum
17715 Meeting House Road
Sandy Spring, MD 20860


Note; These are the only small-class lighting workshops I'll be teaching in the US this year. In the past, these have tended to fill very quickly. So if this is something you'd like to do, I'd suggest signing up sooner rather than later.
