Lá fora, o Sol brilha radiante, mas eu choro
Choro pelas sombras que lançam os abusos do poder sobre as faces das pessoas
Choro pelas lágrimas de desespero de quem foi levado a descer até ao fundo e vive sem auto-respeito

Eu choro hoje, e não vejo o dia de parar
Os políticos e oligarcas riem-se às nossas custas, vendem a alma por um par de votos e lançam migalhas aos pombos
Os mesmos pombos que, sem saber, com suor e lágrimas e esforço, arcam com essas sanguessugas às costas

Mas eu não choro só de tristeza
Choro de raiva, choro de nojo, choro de desespero
E choro, acima de tudo, pelo dia em que os pombos levantem a cabeça, olhem ao redor e vejam tudo

E depois de ver tudo, talvez choremos uma última vez, por nós próprios, e pelos parasitas que fingem liderar mas afinal só sabem abusar.

E depois de chorar, talvez façamos algo a respeito!

That shaky-cam just drove me nuts… I couldn’t focus my eyes on anything and spent most of the movie looking away from the screen to minimize the effects.

I do love the theme and will probably buy the audio book, but the movie won’t find it’s way to my DVD collection for sure.

From what I understand, they took quite a few liberties from the book.

A lot of great actors and great acting, and some new talent… I just wish it didn’t give me a headache. Watch at your own risk.

I’ve known Grayson for a few years, and not only can this man act, he has his heart in the right place, and definitely deserves your support.

If you’ve never checked out Kickstarter, this is a great opportunity to lend a hand in getting this short film made:

Kickstarter help people with passion fund their projects – but their success depends only on you! Pass the word, throw them some cash! A lot of people can contribute a small amount and still get the movie made.

People helping people… that’s what it’s all about!

New App Reveals the Truth About What Big Artists Make on Record Deals

Readers,

I want to make you immediately aware of a benefit for you that I have been working on for a number of years.

It’s a way for artists to always know how much they are owed for any music deal (recording, publishing, merchandise, endorsement) and conversely, for labels, production companies, aggregators, managers, etc to always know how much they are making on commissions from their artists and songwriters.  Journalists can also use it for research on artists and labels and Educators will find it invaluable in teaching how recording contracts really pay.

Inappropriately named “Royalty Calculator,” for marketing purposes, it’s a free App that hit the Apple App store a few days ago and I want you to be the first to download, use and review it.

If you have an Apple device, just go to the App store and type in “Moses Avalon” in the search function.  You may get a few results but the one we are focusing on today is called the “Moses Avalon Royalty Calculator.” (It’s also called MyRecord Deal.) And I have one more request before you jump there.

I know many of you have wanted to make some small contribution to my site for all the free information and discounts I offer to those of you on my list and who follow me on Twitter.

This App is a chance to do that.  The free version is ad supported, so, please click on the ads. It costs you nothing but we get a few pennies each time you click on one and those pennies ultimately offset the high cost of producing the App.

There is also a Pro version of the App for $4.99 and several cool ad-ons for 99 cents.  A large portion of this money (like 50%) goes to my Artists’ Rights Advocacy Fund.  This fund allows me to remain ad-free and agenda-free so you get my unbiased opinion on music scams and other issues that affect your career and your rights. If you ever bought a service on my website for under $300, you were a benefactor of this Fund.  I’m hoping you’ll take a minute to give a little back.

All it takes is a tap of your finger.

Click here (or below) if you’re ready to help and get a fun, educational App, or keep reading about the App’s features below. If you don’t have an iThing, don’t worry we’ll be coming to Android soon.

Feel free to forward this and thank you for being one of my readers.  You are the reason I have kept doing this since 1998.

App Description

MyRecord Deal (The Moses Avalon Royalty Calculator)

They say crime doesn’t pay, but does music? You’d be surprised how little most of the time and how much some of the time.

Do you ever wonder how much Lady GaGa, U2, or Eminem make from their platinum records?

How about if you are a recording artist or songwriter and want to know if your record label or publisher is reporting royalties accurately, or if the contract you’re being offered is worth the advance?

Wonder no more.

MyRecod Deal is a complete, no nonsense App that calculates the profits and losses generated by virtually any US record or publishing deal. It’s both a serious tool for music professionals and a fun App for those curious about how much a hit song is actually worth. There has never been a more comprehensive tool that reveals the startling truth about how music pays.

Created by top music-business consultant, best-selling author of music business texts and artists’ rights advocate Moses Avalon, MyRecord Deal, is a mobile app version of his popular “MARC” (Moses Avalon Royalty Calculator) which has been in use by music-business professionals and educators for over a decade.

MyRecord Deal includes all MARC’s famous features but has been greatly expanded and retooled for the Apple mobile platform to include calculations for publishing and 360 Deal points. It will determine, with reasonable accuracy, if a record company is reporting all earnings and royalties.

How does it work?

Using actual accounting practices of major and indie record labels, the MARC analyzes the data you enter and determines how much the artist, the producer, and the record label should all be making on the deal at any given point, right down to the penny.

Included with MyRecord Deal is a detailed in-app help-book that explains record label accounting procedures to both educate and help configure the MARC to match any type of record deal. You can set configure it for any type deal including,  indie, single,  fully blown five-album, and major-label 360 deals. You can also use pre-configured templates that save you time and give you instant answers.

MyRecord Deal – The MARC can be used for:

–Determining how much mega groups are actually making on record sales and publishing. (General template is included, artist-specific templates available via in-app purchase.)

–Knowing if the advance offered by a label publisher is too much or too little for the size of the deal.

–Calculating the break-even point for any release for the artist, songwriters, producer and the label.

–Budgeting a DIY career to determine how much is too much to spend on the recording, the promotion, and the tour.

–Finding the actual “penny rate” of each single or album, as well as the publishing splits for each single or album.

–Figuring out the cost-benefit assumptions for auditing or suing a record label.

Using the included in-App Help Book, you will learn:

–How labels calculate royalties.

–The staggering difference between what the songwriter makes versus the recording artist.

–How to negotiate effectively with a label to get the best deal for the artist.

Try it for free (ad supported). Upgrade to pro for only $4.99 for a limited time.”

I have most things working, including synchronizing with Microsoft Outlook 2007 using the latest version of CompanionLink (via Wifi ‘cos the USB doesn’t always work). It can be a bit of a chore, but it does work, fortunately — I hate sync’ing with the Cloud.

At any rate, the wifi was working fine, but I couldn’t get the 3G to work for the life of me, until I ran across this post on XDA-developers.com.

He gives 2 solutions, I only needed to use the bottom one, of dialing into the testing screen, and find a place where it said CMDA only, tapped on it (though it wasn’t a button) and changed it to GSM AUTO… voila, worked like a charm!

Here’s the link:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=766188

And the excerpt:

“today28/8/2010…and the final situation like that
–please go to build.prop file you will find it android/root/system
open it with notepad and change the dns1 and dns2 to your operator dns
then save it….this completely will solve the 3G problem forever..i test it my self..and i can see my new setting on the test menu ..enjoy with the internet and ineradicable speed after that …..

OK the solution for every one have this problem like me

1- Dial *#*#4636#*#* you will have a menu of testing
2- open Phone information you will see all network info…
3- press on (set preferred network type..
4- change to GSM AUTO …. and done….

now you can enjoy your hd2 with android all the day ..
i hope that will be useful for every one and thanks for XDA members
