I just have my laptop now, so I’ll prove this is possible with the LOWEST quality samples.
Step one (pic) (audio): my finger snapping (recorded on MacBook mic)
Step two (pic) (audio): playing a scale on this snap using Simpler
Step three (pic) (audio): looping the sample and shortening the loop, effectively turning the sample into a “grain.” Notice the timescale in the picture.
Step four (pic) (pic) (audio): turning on the lowpass filter and adjusting release to make the granular synth sound more ‘piano-like’
If you use a different sample, your final instrument will still be usable but will have slightly different tonal qualities as you turn it into a grain. I find that complex tones such as a cough have quirky tonal properties (Harpsicough.mp3) in this study, while simpler sounds like my snap tend to sound more pure and piano-like when they’re done becoming grains.


It is now an annual election tradition on Slugger that we get a panel together to rank the party election broadcasts of all the political parties. Our panel of broadcaster, Jim Fitzpatrick and MCE Public Relations Director, Chris Brown got together to rate each broadcast out of ten.
And the winner is…..
- SDLP we thought was incredibly well put together, with great shots of the party leader and profiles of the candidates. There was also a consistent theme throughout and narrative worked well to give the party some identity.
- UUP profiled the leader Mike Nesbitt with a consistent narrative. We thought the lack of any candidates let it down slightly , but a clear message throughout.
- DUP was all about Arlene, with little emphasis on her candidates, but if she is an asset for her party then it could be used to good effect for the DUP. Parts of it were well shot and some the music we thought worked well.
- Alliance departed from their traditional approach of animation which we thought made this broadcast lack its former appeal. With so many marginal seats for the party, we wondered why none of them were profiled and the lack of human faces hindered the message.
- Sinn Fein broadcast was good, it had a positive message with some good musical overtones, but we didn’t feel that it grabbed the viewer, though Chris did note the appearances of figures like Martin McGuinness which distinguished this from other PEBs.
- Green Party had us slightly torn, some of us felt that due to the normal time that these broadcasts go out on TV this might not have worked for the average viewer. Jim was a bit switched off from the approach, particularly when they have many strong candidates to profile, which this PEB did not really do.
- TUV broadcast referenced some of the old messages within Unionism with an emphasis on debates from 2007. The broadcast had a focus on Jim Allister, but some of the graphics distracted the viewer from what was being said and the overall message.

LA Femme Film Festival Screens Megalobox Anime With Producer Minako Fujiyoshi
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The LA Femme Film Festival announced on September 27 that it will screen episodes of the Megalobox anime at the Regal Cinema at LA Live in Los Angeles on October 12, with show producer Minako Fujiyoshi in attendance for a Q&A panel after the screening.
The anime celebrates the 50th anniversary of Ikki Kajiwara (pen name Asao Takamori) and Tetsuya Chiba's Ashita no Joe manga, and it features an original story. In the new story, a man called JD (Junk Dog) participates in fixed boxing matches in an underground ring in order to live. Today, he enters the ring again, but he encounters a certain person. JD wants to take on a challenge that risks everything.
You Moriyama (animation director for Master Keaton and Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine, concept designer for Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress and Attack on Titan) directed the series at TMS Entertainment, and he was also in charge of conceptual design. Katsuhiko Manabe (Shin Kyūseishu Densetsu Hokuto no Ken: Raoh-den Gekitō no Shō, Shin Kyūseishu Densetsu Hokuto no Ken: Raoh-den Junai no Shō) and Kensaku Kojima (live-action Shinya Shokudō series) both oversaw and wrote the scripts, and mabanua (Kids on the Slope) composed the music.

Annals of Intensive Care 2011, 1:53 doi:10.1186/2110-5820-1-53
Published: 30 December 2011
Sepsis continues to be a poorly understood syndrome with a high mortality rate. While we are beginning to decipher the intricate interplay of the inflammatory response during sepsis, the precise regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and its impact on electrolyte homeostasis during sepsis remains incompletely understood.
Sepsis was induced in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Plasma samples were obtained as a function of time (6-48 hrs) after CLP and compared to healthy animals (neg ctrl). Samples were analyzed for adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), corticosterone, and aldosterone levels as well as concentrations of sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), chloride (Cl-) and magnesium (Mg2+).
ACTH levels were found to be significantly reduced 6-24 hrs after CLP in comparison to baseline levels and displayed gradual recovery during the later course (24-48 hrs) of sepsis. Plasma corticosterone concentrations exhibited a bell-shaped response, peaking between 6 and 12 hrs followed by rapid decline and concentrations below negative control levels 48 hrs after injury. Aldosterone levels in septic animals were continuously elevated between 6 and 48 hrs. While plasma Na+ levels were found to be persistently elevated following CLP, levels of K+, Cl- and Mg2+ were significantly reduced as a function of time and gradually recovered during the later course of sepsis.
CLP-induced sepsis resulted in dynamic changes of ACTH, corticosterone and aldosterone levels. In addition, electrolyte levels showed significant disturbances following CLP. These electrolyte perturbations might be evoked by a downstream effect or a dysfunctional HPA-axis response during sepsis and contribute to severe complications during sepsis.

Nuclear Iran: Beware of the Russian Bear in the Middle East
by Jim Kouri, CPP
As the Iranians are moving closer to developing a nuclear weapons program, the Russian government is telling the world not to worry. An Russian official is being quoted as saying the centrifuges available to Iran are not sufficient to launch industrial uranium enrichment. A Russian nuclear expert concurred.
"Uranium enrichment in Iran is not arousing concerns in Russia.There is nothing unexpected in this. The availability of 164 centrifuges in Iran is a fact that has been known for a long time," Russian Atomic Energy Agency chief Sergei Kiriyenko told China's communist party-controlled news agency.
"These centrifuges allow Iran to conduct laboratory uranium enrichment to a low level in insignificant amounts. The acquisition of highly enriched uranium is unfeasible today using this method," Kiriyenko said.
However, a senior Iranian official and former president Hashemi Rafsanjani told the Kuwait News Agency that Iran had operated the first unit of 164 centrifuges and successfully enriched uranium.
And then there's Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad bragging on Tuesday that Iran had "joined the world club of nuclear technology."
However, in order for the Iranian scientists to produce their own fuel at least for the initial loading of a nuclear reactor, "one needs to have not some hundred-and-a-half centrifuges, but thousands of times more," Viktor Mikhailov, ex-minister of the Russian Ministry for Atomic Energy who leads the ministry's Institute for Strategic Stability.
But why should the United States and the United Nations believe the Russian government? Afterall, US intelligence agencies have for years known about Russian duplicity in Iraq. In fact, recent declassified reports indicated that Russian intelligence gave Iraq's military leaders US war plans for the 2003 invasion. Today, Iran is a cash cow for the Russians and it's in their best interest to prop up the current regime.
According to officials at the Arms Control Association, "Russia has become Iran's main source of advanced conventional arms, an alleged supplier of know-how and technology for its ballistic missile and chemical and biological warfare programs, and its sole source of civilian nuclear technology."
The ACA maintains that Iran also wants to be able to deter potential threats from the United States, Israel, and, more recently, Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Afghanistan. Tehran's efforts to modernize its armed forces and acquire weapons of mass destruction are driven by a desire to bridge the gap between its military weakness and its image of itself as a regional power and the standard bearer of revolutionary Islam. To these ends, Tehran has turned to Russia -- the only country that can provide it with arms in the quantity and the quality that it desires.
And the Russians are more than happy to accomodate the Iranians with high-priced weapons systems that would be aimed at the West, including the United States.
Tehran cherishs this relationship with Moscow. One need only look at how the Iranians have remained silent over Moscow's bloody suppression of a Muslim separatist movement in Chechnya. These are Iran's fellow Jihadists, yet the Iranians defer to the Russian government in order to keep the relationship in tact. Iran wants access to sophisticated weaponry and the Russians want to buttress their unstable economy with Iranian cash.
Russia's arms and technology transfers to Iran have created diplomatic and security headaches for Washington, as Tehran develops some fairly sophisticated military niche-capabilities and builds ballistic missiles armed with weapons of mass destruction (WMD) that threaten US interests and allies in the region. Even more troubling for Washington, it has been able to do very little about it and its options seem limited according to ACA.
In addition, intelligence experts believe -- as with the Saddam regime in Iraq -- Russian intelligence officers are assisting the Iranians. Jane's Intelligence Review reports the while the KGB was dismantled, the Russians are continuously growing a huge intelligence network that is deeply intrenched in the Middle East.
It's believed that Russia is hosting Iranian intelligence officers at their training facilities and academies in order to upgrade their training in intelligence gathering and analysis, covert actions, and strategic planning.
So when Russia tells the world that Iran is basically no threat at this point in time, should we really believe them?
Jim Kouri, CPP is currently fifth vice-president of the National Association of Chiefs of Police. He's former chief at a New York City housing project in Washington Heights nicknamed "Crack City" by reporters covering the drug war in the 1980s. In addition, he served as director of public safety at a New Jersey university and director of security for a number of organizations. He's also served on the National Drug Task Force and trained police and security officers throughout the country. He writes for many police and crime magazines including Chief of Police, Police Times, The Narc Officer, Campus Law Enforcement Journal, and others. He's appeared as on-air commentator for over 100 TV and radio news and talk shows including Oprah, McLaughlin Report, CNN Headline News, MTV, Fox News, etc. His book Assume The Position is available at Amazon.Com, Booksamillion.com, and can be ordered at local bookstores.

Washington, D.C. – Producers for American Crude Oil Exports (PACE) executive director George Baker issued the following statement regarding the Obama Administration’s announcement of a deal that puts in place a process that will lift the international sanctions on Iranian oil sales:
“Now that the United States government has secured a deal with Iran regarding its nuclear program, which puts in place a process that will allow Iran to freely sell oil on the world market, we urge President Obama and Congress to use their authority and allow U.S. oil producers to access that same global market. Once these sanctions are removed, the U.S. will be the only major oil producing country in the world that has restrictions on the export of domestically produced crude oil. The consequences of this voluntary, self-imposed restriction places American companies at a significant competitive disadvantage and threatens workers, government revenues, and the United States’ relationship with our international trading partners.
“According to news reports, Iran intends to double its crude oil exports now that the ban is lifted and according to the EIA it could lead to one million new barrels or more of oil a day entering the world market. Having the international market flooded with Iranian oil, while at the same time preventing U.S. oil producers access to the same global market, is not in the best interest of the U.S. or our global allies. Ending the U.S. export ban would give our trading partners access to what they say they want: secure, reliable oil supplies while limiting the market influence of Russia, Iran and other OPEC members.
“Furthermore, the U.S. export ban continues to cost American jobs and harm local economies that depend on a strong oil and natural gas industry. If the federal government is going to green light Iranian crude oil exports, it should also allow U.S. companies to compete on the world market and let U.S. consumers reap the benefits in the form of lower gasoline prices and new jobs. Now more than ever, Congress and the President must take immediate action to end the ban on U.S. crude oil exports.”

Memphis Depay is out of favour at Manchester United at the moment.
In recent weeks he has been linked to a number of European clubs including AC Milan, AS Roma and Wolfsburg.
But Depay isn't getting down in the dumps about what must be a frustrating period in his career, not if the above video is anything to go by.
As you can see, the Dutch forward is outside polishing up his ball skills and doing a great job of it.
In the impressive clip he flicks the ball up into the air before controlling it on his foot and waiting for it to stop dead.
He then flicks it onto his shoulder and rolls it behind his neck in style - he even throws in some post-production emojis... because, why not?
Posting alongside the video on Instagram, the 22-year-old, who United signed from PSV Eindhoven, wrote: "Don't forget to smile today!"
And trust us, after watching the clip, you definitely won't forget.

- 3 tablespoons butter
- 4 teaspoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon grated lime zest

On the first page of this chapter in Begg’s and Ferguson’s book, Name Above All Names, I have scribbled, “this chapter resends hope to me on every page”. What an encouraging page to head back to after having read it many weeks ago – especially on a day when my pregnancy hormones are crazy and it seems like every email or text I receive just hits me in the wrong way. HOPE
Here are some thoughts from the chapter on Jesus: Son of Man:
1. “We are struck by how deeply embedded some of their character traits seem to be” (pg 103). As a parent – do you wonder what traits you are passing to your children? I think about that often now that I have two loveable boys of our own. My husband often says that is one of the hardest jobs in parenting: seeing your sin looking back at you. I think my parents did a good job of raising me – but as an adult I see where some of my traits come from and it is scary to think that I too could pass on some less than desirable or Godly traits to my boys. This is where hope comes in. God is a God of bringing hope and change into a family. Just because your family is one way doesn’t mean that those traits and cycles have to continue to the next generation. Sebastian’s life verse ends in hope for the children in the coming generation – the good of the Lord (Jer 32:39) Do you parent or live like there is hope in breaking the sin cycle in your family?
2. “The kingdom of God will overwhelm all other kingdoms. The Kingdom of God will be established and will endure forevermore” (pg 105). I already dislike seeing ads for the Presidential race in 2016. Good that a new president will be coming either way, but not looking forward to the next 2+ years where the backbiting and slander will happen everywhere. And when the bad news comes on the news or as I watch previews for certain coming shows or movies – previews that revel in betrayal, sin, murder, affairs – I know that God is still on His throne and He will make all things right in His time. That brings me hope.
3. “The Son of Man is coming to the source of ultimate authority. It resides exclusively in the Ancient of Days, who is seated on the throne.” (pg 107). I’ve learned recently from Rob Rienow that any question of sin or dysfunction in this life is really a question of authority. Who is the ultimate authority in your life? Who is the ultimate authority in this world? If our answer is not God – we are wrong. Some will think and say and live and believe that they are their ultimate source of authority – but God created and gave life to everyone of us, so He is our ultimate authority. That is very hope-giving to me.
4. “The remarkable thing about this picture of Jesus is that He is never isolated from His people” (pg 108). I’ve actually thought much about this in light of some of the “suffering” and tears I’ve had over the last two months. Not all of my tears are hormone related. And one of the things that brings me the most comfort is that Jesus suffered. He had people slander him. Yet He believed and taught and lived truth and was planted firmly in the hand of God His Father. This brings me hope when I am going through trials.
5. “Kingdom grace brings more than forgiveness. It brings freedom from the powers of darkness and restoration to new life” (pg 118). My husband would probably like me to frame that quote. It was probably one of the most powerful in this whole book to me. Grace is the only thing that sets us free from the tyranny of listening to others, or repeating harmful lies to ourselves, by letting others’ thoughts control us, or by living in destructive habits that control our lives. Walk in light. Dwell in freedom.

The reader's interest in this exciting account of the life of a South Sea Island missionary is captured from the very first chapter ...... readers are encouraged to apply the lessons of his life to their own through the Thinking Further Topics. (The Gospel Magazine)
The Christian legacy of this amazing missionary is still felt today in the South Sea Islands. Reading true life stories like this help us realise what difficulties really are. John G Paton was no stranger to struggle. This is not the story of a gentleman missionary who wilts at the first hardship. This man went through the school of hard knocks to become a missionary in one of the toughest areas of Glasgow - and then on to the savage tribes of the South Sea Islands. Being a missionary is hard - it certainly was back then. For many their very life was in the balance and John G Paton was no exception. Cannibals and warring tribes were daily dangers.

Top Customer Reviews
This is a good book, but not excellent. The writing quality could be improved. Occasionally, the book advances forward in time rather abruptly. And, it wasn't even clear what century the book took place in until over 30 pages into the book! Still, it's a good book for those desiring to have missionary stories available to their children, and also points out some of the increased difficulties of mission work before satellite phones, airplanes, media devices, and other modern aids. But, I don't particularly feel a pressing burden to check out other titles in the series.

With Donald Trump officially the Republican presidential nominee, attention shifts to running mate Mike Pence Wednesday as he addresses the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. Delegates will also be watching former Trump rival Ted Cruz speak to see what he says about Trump.
In an odd twist for a prime-time convention speaker, Cruz hasn't endorsed the New York businessman, who called him "Lyin' Ted" on the campaign trail. At a rally in Cleveland, Cruz said that he and his followers had the duty "to follow our conscience."
In contrast, Pence is expected to vouch for the celebrity businessman's conservative credentials and call for unity in a Republican Party left divided after the bruising primary fight. The Indiana governor was selected by Trump last week.
Controversy over Melania Trump's Monday evening speech still hung over the convention. After it became clear that passages in Trump's wife's speech were strikingly similar to a 2008 speech from first lady Michelle Obama, a speechwriter for Donald Trump's company said Wednesday she had made a mistake and apologized.
Meredith McIver said she offered to resign but Trump refused to accept her resignation.
What to know about the third day of the GOP convention:
SPOTLIGHT ON PENCE
The Indiana governor will give a prime-time address Wednesday that will allow him to reintroduce himself to the nation after a somewhat awkward event Saturday when he was presented as Trump's running mate. Trump called Pence his "partner" but left no doubt in a rambling speech that Pence's role will be as sidekick to the billionaire businessman at the top of the ticket.
In addition to a call for unity, Pence plans to make the case that he's prepared to govern. He's expected to point to Indiana's economic growth and to accomplishments under his watch.
FORMER RIVALS SPEAK
Cruz arrived in Cleveland with an eye on his own political future, holding the rally with hundreds of supporters who greeted him with chants of "2020" — the next presidential election.
The Texas senator was expected to continue sidestepping a formal endorsement of Trump during his convention remarks. During the primary, Cruz called the businessman a "pathological liar" and "utterly amoral."
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, another former Trump rival, will address delegates by video, and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich also will speak.
Trump's son, Eric, will be the third of the candidate's children to address the convention.
STILL TALKING ABOUT MELANIA
In a statement issued by the campaign, speechwriter McIver said Mrs. Trump had told her that she admired Mrs. Obama, and had read passages from Obama's speech as an example of things she liked. McIver said she wrote down the passages and later included them in the speech.
"This was my mistake, and I feel terrible for the chaos I have caused Melania and the Trumps, as well as to Mrs. Obama. No harm was meant," McIver said.
For two days, the Trump campaign tried to brush aside any talk of plagiarism, calling the criticism absurd.
MAKE AMERICA FIRST AGAIN
Wednesday's theme is "Make America First Again." GOP leaders say that while the United States has always been an exceptional nation, but eight years of bad policies and poor leadership under President Barack Obama have weakened America abroad and limited opportunities at home.
Republicans vow that in a Trump administration, the U.S. will reclaim its historic role in the world.
HATRED FOR HILLARY
So far, many convention speakers have devoted more time to denouncing presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton than talking about Trump.
On Tuesday, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a former federal prosecutor, laid out an aggressive case against Clinton as the crowd yelled "Lock her up! Lock her up!" Failed Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson went so far as to associate Clinton with Lucifer.
The Secret Service is investigating a prominent Donald Trump supporter from New Hampshire who said in a radio interview that Clinton should be "shot for treason."
OUTSIDE THE HALL
Cleveland police say about a dozen people have been taken into custody and will be arrested following a chaotic protest near the arena hosting the convention.
The arrests happened as a protest group tried to burn an American flag near Quicken Loans Arena. It was the most turbulent protest since the four-day convention began Monday. The chaos prevented delegates and members of the media from getting into the Quicken Loans Arena for the evening's proceedings.
THE REST OF THE WEEK
Trump will close the four-day convention with a speech Thursday night accepting the nomination.

On Friday, January 20, 2017, President Trump signed an executive order instructing the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the heads of all other federal agencies to “exercise all authority and discretion available to them to waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay the implementation of any provision or requirement” of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that would impose a fiscal or regulatory burden on individuals or families or any one of a number of other stakeholders across the health care system including health insurers and purchasers of health insurance.
This Executive Order has no immediate impact on Anthem plans or our members’ benefits and coverage.
However, the order confirms expectations that the new Administration intends to adjust ACA regulations while it works with Congress to repeal or modify the law. It also advises the Department of Health and Human Services and all other federal agencies to prepare to give states more flexibility and control in regulating their health care market.
Regulatory action by the Department of Health and Human Services and other federal agencies is required for any changes to the ACA to take place. We expect these agencies to begin announcing such regulatory changes in the coming days and weeks.
In some cases, federal agencies with enforcement authority for ACA regulations may announce they will not enforce certain provisions of the law for a period of time.
Anthem will continue to closely monitor ACA-related actions by the President, Congress, and federal agencies and will share any decisions that impact our plans or customers.

You seriously don't want to miss MMA-champion-turned-Hollywood-superstar Rogan. Hotness!
From the author of the New York Times bestselling Bad Boys novels comes the second book in a dark, sexy contemporary trilogy.
He’s a fighter who never loses, but is he tough enough to win her heart?
There was a time when I had everything–a wonderful family, a bright future. Love. But all that was taken away in a single night, torn from me like flesh from bone. Since then, I’ve hidden away in my second-choice job as a makeup artist. But I prefer it that way, actually. I’m comfortable in the shadows, where no one can see my scars.
Kiefer Rogan literally took my breath away the moment I met him. MMA champion-turned-actor, notorious playboy, charming to a fault—he’s everything I vowed to avoid.
But he just wouldn’t stop until I opened up and let him in. Maybe I should’ve tried harder to resist him. Maybe I shouldn’t have fallen in love with him. Because I, of all people, know that everyone has secrets. Scars. And that they’re usually ugly and painful and destructive to the people we love most.
I just never guessed that they could be deadly, too.

Katie is one bad ass woman! With her hidden secrets that she knows how to mask but for some reason the only person who she can't mask them from is Rogan. He knows there is more to her than what she is pretending to be and he is determined to find out.

Wireless Vital Signs Monitoring Improves Patient Satisfaction in the Emergency Department
When compared to the standard of care:
- 93% of the patients were more satisfied with the Vios Monitoring System
- 89% of the patients preferred the Vios Monitoring System
- 94% of patients enjoyed being able to move freely on the wireless system
About the Study
Patient satisfaction is an important indicator used to assess patient outcomes, patient retention, and reimbursement claims. Wired vital-sign monitoring equipment limit patient mobility and have a direct impact on the patient’s overall hospital experience. Wireless continuous monitoring of a patient’s vitals through the Vios Monitoring System (VMS, Vios Medical, St. Paul, MN, USA) provides a light, flexible way to deploy continuous wireless monitoring in hospitals. This study aims to assess the patient satisfaction and preference of the VMS.

Double 180gm vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket featuring the new stereo album mix on the first LP and adds a second LP with previously unreleased alternate takes for each of the album’s 13 songs, newly mixed in stereo and sequenced in the same order as the album. 2017 release, the 50th Anniversary remixed and remastered edition of one of rock music’s most influential albums. The album is newly mixed by Giles Martin and engineer Sam Okell in stereo, sourced directly from the four-track masters at Abbey Road Studios in London, and guided by the original, Beatles-preferred mono mix produced by his father, George Martin. It was 50 years ago when The Beatles’ John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr astonished and delighted the world, ushering in the Summer of Love with Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, a groundbreaking masterwork that became popular music’s most universally acclaimed album.
Kids In The Street – Justin Townes Earle – Kids In The Street was produced by Mike Mogis, who is perhaps best known for his work with Bright Eyes on the Saddle Creek label. “When I first met a young Justin Townes Earle, it was evident then he was intent on following his own artistic path,” said label president John Allen. “As his publisher, I saw his songwriting evolve to a literary depth and swagger that maintained that unique vision. New West is very proud to release Justin’s next album of his best work yet.”

Vinyl release Sonny & Brownie’s Last Train by the Ambassador of the Blues, Guy Davis and international harmonica sensation Fabrizio Poggi. The deep, acoustic blues sessions took place in Milan Italy and were recorded live in the studio. The result captured the special musical connection that Guy and Fabrizio possess from the years of playing and recording together.
Sonny & Brownie’s Last Train marks the 14th recording by Guy Davis in his storied career and his third with M.C. Records. His first “Juba Dance” was produced by Fabrizio Poggi and also recorded in Italy.
Guy Davis explains the concept of the recording, Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry were two musicians whose work will not be surpassed, let alone improved on. This musical opus, was produced by Fabrizio Poggi. It features our combined musical talents, and is not meant to compete with the originals. It’s meant to be a love letter to Brownie and Sonny signed by the both of us. They were two of my favorites.
Vinyl LP pressing. Some People Have Real Problems is the fourth studio album by Australian singer Sia. Originally released in 2008, the album featured singles including “Day Too Soon”, “The Girl You Lost to Cocaine” and “Soon We’ll Be Found”. In live performances of the latter song, Sia used sign language to accompany her singing. The album displays a more upbeat pop-style than Sia’s previous downbeat albums, whilst show-casing Sia’s vocals on a number of big ballads. Non-single track, “Buttons”, received attention due to it’s video in which Sia’s face is distorted by pegs, string, net, condoms and many other things.
Limited double vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. 2017 collection from the British indie icons. The Best Of… So Far marks the return of British Indie icons The Kooks.

Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release. It’s been six years since fans were last graced with a new full-length Incubus album and that drought has ended with their aptly titled eighth full length offering, 8. The album was co-produced by Dave Sardy (Slayer, Helmet, Trouble) and Sonny Moore, better known as dubstep icon Skrillex. The album was nearly finished before Moore tweaked the mix on the song “Familiar Faces,” which then spiraled into a full co-production job. Guitarist Michael Einziger commented, “It just kind of energized everybody in the band and we’re really excited about the album, we can’t wait for people to hear it.”
Fourth album from the North Carolina-born NYC-based singer. Features performance and songwriting contributions from David Crosby, Michael League [Snarky Puppy], Jacob Collier, Laura Mvula.

Dave Catching’s solo album recorded at the famed Rancho De La Luna studio features his friends Alain Johannes, Mark Lanegan, Greg Dulli, Troy Van Leeuwen and others to create lush desert Rock n Roll.
Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release. Created with producer Leo Abrahams (Brian Eno, Regina Spektor) and frequent collaborator Shahzad Ismaily, The Following Mountain represents a new approach for Sam Amidon, who shifts here from his previous norm of re-working traditional folk songs and presents nine wholly original compositions, with some lyrics drawing on traditional sources. The album features a rare guest appearance by drummer Milford Graves, known initially for his work in the 1960s with free jazz legends Albert Ayler and Sonny Sharrock. The Following Mountain was made during two distinct recording sessions: an initial weekend in Brooklyn where Ismaily and Amidon brought in Graves, percussionist Juma Sultan (Jimi Hendrix), and saxophonist Sam Gendel for a heavily improvised session; followed by time in the studio over the summer in London, where Amidon worked with Leo Abrahams to shape and develop the songs.
Double 180 gram vinyl LP pressing including digital download. On his 10th album, The Search For Everything, John Mayer meditates on getting older. “Time’s been talking to me/Whispering in my ear,” he sings on Changing, a wistful song about embracing life’s complexities. While some of the album’s songs read like diary entries from a man in reflection, others display a forward momentum. Shrugging off some of that inner torment in the name of fun, The Search For Everything is loose, lively, and delightfully diverse, finding him dabbling in funk, folk, blues, and soul, with support from the John Mayer Trio. It’s taken John Mayer two decades to sound this peaceful, and now, he wants us to go with the flow, too.
Limited 180gm milky white colored vinyl LP pressing. The Chicago alternative-rock trio Chevelle – Pete Loeffler (guitars, vocals), Sam Loeffler (drums) and Dean Bernardini (bass, vocals) – have long characterized the spirit of the underdog since their independent debut album Point #1. The group joined Epic Records and delivered their major label breakthrough in 2002 with Wonder What’s Next. The platinum-release spawned the chart-topping hits “Send The Pain Below” and “The Red,” and led to high profile tours like OZZfest in 2003.
Vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. 2017 debut full-length album from Grammy Award winning artist/producer duo The Chainsmokers. Comprised of Alex Pall and Drew Taggart, The Chainsmokers have evolved into a dominating musical force with a diverse repertoire of songs that have led them to become today’s hottest young artist/producer duo. With a signature sound that deftly reaches across indie, progressive and pop realms, their original tracks and remixes have topped the charts throughout the world.

A beloved happy hour classic, now being served at a campground near you. What better way to end the day outside than with a cold beer, warm campfire, and a big pot full of cheesy nachos?
1 tablespoon neutral flavored oil
½ lb tortilla chips
1 (7.75 oz) can El Pato hot tomato sauce, or equivalent
1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 (14.5 oz) can black beans, drained
1 large avocado, cubed
4-5 green onions, sliced
handful of fresh cilantro, chopped
1 small lime, cut into wedges
Lightly oil the bottom of a large dutch oven, to prevent the nachos from sticking.
For the first layer, evenly spread ⅓ of the chips into the dutch oven, topped with ¼ can El Pato, ¼ can black beans, ¼ cup cheese, and a handful of avocado, green onions, and cilantro. Repeat for the second layer.
For the third and final layer, use the remaining ⅓ portion of chips, ½ can El Pato, ½ can black beans, ½ cup cheese, and the remaining avocado, onion, and cilantro.
Cover the dutch oven and place on a metal grill over your campfire for about 10 minutes, until the cheese has melted. Serve with the lime wedges.

Plans for Priory Cinema site in Royston yet to be finalised
PUBLISHED: 11:29 16 March 2010 | UPDATED: 16:17 11 May 2010
PLANS to build social housing on Royston s old Priory Cinema site have yet to be finalised, more than a year after the site was sold. The site, on the corner of Priory Lane and Newmarket, was brought by housing association North Herts Home in January 2009
PLANS to build social housing on Royston's old Priory Cinema site have yet to be finalised, more than a year after the site was sold.
The site, on the corner of Priory Lane and Newmarket, was brought by housing association North Herts Home in January 2009.
Two conceptual schemes to build 30 or 36 dwellings on the land, which currently sits vacant, were revealed last July, and a planning application had been expected last autumn.
But a spokesman for North Herts Homes said discussions are ongoing with planners.
She said: "We're still working with the district council officers, and a further meeting is scheduled for this week.
"It's a case of tweaking the plans to make sure all the details are suitable, so in the next few weeks hopefully we will be able to give a more definite idea of what we have planned and what the timescales will be."
The two conceptual schemes comprised 36 sheltered housing flats for elderly people, or 30 homes for young families.
Kevin Thompson, Chief Executive of North Herts Homes, told The Crow last year: "Whatever the final design looks like, I can promise that we will build a high quality development of affordable homes that will not only meet the needs of local people but that will enhance the town centre.

Evidence remains insufficient to determine if marijuana use has any impact — good or bad — on cardiovascular disease risk, researchers stated.
In a systematic review of 24 observational studies, six suggested a metabolic benefit associated with marijuana use, but all six were cross sectional. A single prospective cohort study with a more robust analytic design found no evidence of a metabolic benefit. For all but one risk factor or outcome evaluated, the quality of evidence was rated as “insufficient,” according to Divya Ravi, MD, MPH, of the Wright Center for Graduate Education in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and colleagues.
The evidence regarding a link between marijuana use and obesity was rated as “low,” with one well-designed study and two cross-sectional studies showing no link, they wrote in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Ravi’s group reviewed studies examining adult cannabis use and vascular risk factors such as hyperglycemia, diabetes,

When it comes to walking tracks, there are few as spectacular as the seven-kilometre trail across the headlands between Kiama and Gerringong.
The walk between Loves Bay, Kiama Heights and Werri Beach opened in 2009 after 12 years in the pipeline.
While a stand-alone walk in its own right, the seven-kilometre link was officially an extension of the 22 kilometre Kiama Coast Walk that starts at Kiama’s northern boundary at Minnamurra and continues to Boat Harbour at Gerringong.
Now momentum is building to see the council’s long-held vision of extending the walking track to the municipality’s southern boundary realised, a walk that would take in the equally spectacular scenery between Gerringong and Gerroa.
Kiama council’s economic development committee said the economic benefits of the extension would be substantial.
Yesterday, Wollongong City Council was granted $5million through the Illawarra Infrastructure Fund for stage one of its Grand Pacific Way project and Kiama Mayor Brian Petschler said a walk the length of the Illawarra would be world class.
The Kiama Coast Walk route is predominantly through Crown land and public reserves, although in some areas around Kiama Downs and Kiama Heights, where the coastal topography is impassable, it reverts back to public streets.
A council spokesman said the proposal was to extend the coastal walk south of Boat Harbour to Gerroa and Seven Mile Beach and on to the southern boundary with the Shoalhaven.
‘‘At present there are still three to four properties in private ownership that council would need to acquire land from to allow this extension to proceed,’’ the spokesman said.
Cr Petschler said it took many years to get the Kiama to Gerringong track completed and the council would have to deal sensitively with the landholders before a link between Gerringong and Gerroa became a reality.
‘‘There is some considerable work to be done and some obstacles to overcome but they are not insurmountable,’’ he said.

Letter: Environmental message from snowbirds might get Tallahassee’s attention
Politicians, as we have learned, have developed a wide range of clever strategies to avoid doing anything productive, so they can instead concentrate on getting re-elected.
To get them to concentrate, we snowbirds need to send Tallahassee a strong message.
In Florida, one of the most serious issues is the ever- deteriorating environmental conditions related to Lake O and its drainage east and west.
Politicians again are searching for a way to ignore the issues and escape corrective action. The latest escape would prevent creating a southern reservoir by putting the blame on the federal government and directing the Army Corps of Engineers to build it. What a bunch of rubbish.
Last October through this January was a mess. The Indian River was a disaster due to effluent released from Lake O: brown, nearly black water discharges spoiling the Fort Pierce area all the way to the inlet, with similar pollution up and down Florida’s east and west coasts.
Snowbirds, let us resolve that next season -- October through April -- we not to stay here so long in Florida spending our hard-earned cash.
Let's stay north, or elsewhere for an extra month. The lost revenue to the state of Florida should send a strong message to Tallahassee that we have had enough. Let them ignore this warning – then the following season we'll spend two months elsewhere.
Politician – get the point?

The Moto-Tug Story
As I pursued the topic on the Ford-Ferguson Moto-Tug, I discovered a book recently published ( September 2009 ) by a gentleman named Timothy J. O'Callaghan, who being a U.S. Army veteran,also spent 40 years working for Ford Motor Company in management until he retired in 1990. In 1980 he became interested in Ford aviation and shortly after retiring from Ford, volunteerd at the Benson Ford Research Center, of The Henry Ford, in Dearborn, Michigan. He was asked to bring some order to the collection of aviation photographs and documents that were virtually setting in boxes,unorganized, for years. With plenty of time, he was thrilled to be asigned the project and soley put all their documents and photos on WWI and WWII in order. The reward for his efforts are two books ( so far ) and a DVD on the Ford Motor Company's involvement with war production military vehicles, aircraft, and numerous other projects. .
I looked up Mr. O'Callaghan since he lives only about 75 miles southwest of me and we talked extensively on a few occasions about Ford, WWII, and, specifically, the Moto-Tug. He was kind enough to send me copies of the original Ford documents on the Moto-Tug he had for part of his reaerch for his latest book, "FORD In The Service Of America". He gratiously granted me permission to reprint them as long as I did not use the actual original documents and also to be sure to credit the Benson Ford Research Center, which I have credited for the information. Here is a scan of his current books' cover. What follows are the original Moto-Tug story, the Timeline, and two stories from a business magazine. These are the only documents he found dealing with the Moto-Tug development and production.
Mr. O'Callaghan has another book, "The Aviation Legacy of Henry & Edsel Ford, for $15.00 plus $3.00 S&H as well as his current book for $35.00 plus $3.00 S&H. He will personlly sign the book(s) and his mailing address is:
T & D Associates
c/o Tim O'Callaghan
PO Box 512
Northville, MI 48167
He also has a web site, www.fordatwar.com
If you are interested in the Ford Moto-Tug and/or the many, many pots Ford had their hands in for war production items, pick up these books. "Ford In The Service Of America" comes in at 198 pages and that includes the index, but there is a ton of information packed into this little gem. The Moto-Tug 'chapter' is only three paragraphs and one photo of a B-24 being towed by a Tug, but based on the little information he had to work with, you couldn't expect much more. Meanwhile, I hope you enjoy reading these documents as much as I did.

The Moto-Tug Story -Supplement -TimeTable
This is the supplement to The Moto-Tug Story showing the timline from the cradle to Columbus. Robert Johnston II aka 'Paladin' here, says the four models were the BNO-25 and the BNO-40, as stated in the article, and also the BNOS-25 and the BNOS-40. The 'S' models had solid cast iron wheels and hard rubber tires.
Also, it is important to remember that Ford Motor Company shut down all civilian car and truck production on February 10, 1941, to devote the lines to produce war implements.

Re: The Moto-Tug Story -Supplement -TimeTable
Yes, there were four models, the BNO-24 and the BNO-40, and also the BNOS-25 and BNOS-40.
The parts manuals have all four models covered. Actually, the "S" variants seem to have differed only in that they had solid cast iron wheels with hard rubber tires.
The ONLY, repeat ONLY surviving "S" variant that I know of is owned by an N tractor collector in Las Vegas. He emailed me perhaps a year ago that he had bought this tractor in CA and that it supposedly had spent its life working in a shipyard or dockyard in Long Beach. Sadly, the cast iron wheels are long gone and it has been fitted with regular tractor wheels.

When looking for a house today, most people are looking for what is known as an open concept kitchen or an open floor plan. This is a relatively newer concept when it comes to home design and construction. If you are looking at an older house, it most likely will not have open concept construction. Before World War II, home builders used a basic and similar floor plan. It had a central hallway that gave everyone access to every room in the house. It was basically the walkway that allowed you to get from one room to another. There was not much open in the house. Also in these houses, the kitchens were placed in the back of the house. At that time, the kitchen was considered an area of service. It was not used as part of socializing in any way. There was usually a rear door for the staff to use. Until the 1950s, entertaining was incredibly formal and it happened in other parts of the house.
Some well-known architects at this time were beginning to design houses that had living areas that were open. These designs began to combine the living rooms and dining rooms. Even though the rooms were open, they were still separated by an open fireplace or some other factor that was not a wall but still acted as a way to show the difference between the rooms. The kitchens were still kept as separate rooms at this time because it was considered a space for service.
After the war, houses took on a less formal look and a more open floor plan. They were starting to include the kitchen, which offered families flexibility for moving around the space as the family changed. Many parents were becoming interested in watching the kids while they were cooking dinner and cleaning up from dinner. Houses were becoming more practical for families. Families were getting bigger but houses were getting smaller. The house plans were beginning to remove studies, offices, and libraries. The kitchen was also becoming the center of the house and where all activity happened.
It was not until the 1990s that open floor plans became the common and typical design for newly constructed homes. That has not changed much today. The words open concept, great room, and open floor plan become a regular part of the descriptions of houses. The open floor concept allows everyone in the family to feel part of what is happening in the house, even if they are not all in the same room. Everyone can still see each other and feel involved. People quickly found that a house with an open concept can look messy and cluttered. Since you can see every room in the house, you always see all the rooms. There are no walls close off the rooms and there are no doors to close so you cannot see in the rooms. Even with this downside, many people still seek houses with open floor plans because they prefer to have that open feel in their homes.
