For those of you who have been following my articles on the V8 conversion, it has probably been obvious that I have not, so far, written an article on brakes. The reason for this is that I am more than a little concerned regarding the safety aspect of brakes in general. I think we are all well aware that the efficiency of our brakes is all that stands between us and the possibility of a serious accident - hence the reason for uprating the system when changing/uprating the power of the engine. Many years ago I experienced a total brake failure on a car that I was driving. With some very quick down shifting through the gearbox, a relatively clear road and a large slice of luck I managed to stop without hitting anything. However, I would not like to repeat the exercise on today's busy roads. The reason I point this out is that often braking systems are rebuilt/modified by inexperienced people who could re-assemble the system incorrectly with the resulting dire consequences.
On this basis, it is my intention to only make suggestions as to what modifications can be carried out on the TR7/8. If you are not experienced in rebuilding braking systems, don't risk your life - enlist the help of a qualified mechanic or a reputable garage.
As the car, is at least 25 years old, now would be an ideal opportunity to check out the complete braking system. REMEMBER, THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS METRIC - don't be persuaded differently.
Rear Brakes This is probably the simplest modification but is often missed. Assuming that a 5-speed axle is fitted to the car, change the wheel cylinders from the existing one (P/No. GWC1212) to those used on the 4-speed axles (P/No. GWC1213). These have a smaller bore and complement the uprating of the brakes at the front of the can. They were fitted to all genuine TR8s and can be obtained from Unipart, Rimmers, S&S and most Triumph dealers. A small modification is needed to the backplate as the locating dowel at the back of the 4-speed wheel cylinder is in a diametrically opposite position to its 5- speed counterpart (a positive way of establishing that you have received the correct part!). Fit the wheel cylinder through the main hole in the back plate, mark the position of the dowel and carefully drill the correctly sized hole. Remember to fit a new retaining spring clip (P/No. 17H7949) at the back of the wheel cylinder when re-assembling. To complete the rear brake modifications, fit new 5-speed brake shoes (was P/No. GBS796 now GBS813) as a complete axle set. When fitting the new brake shoes, particular attention should be paid to cleaning and greasing (with copper ease) of the hand brake mechanism - a little extra time spent now will save a great deal of time when the MoT is due.
As an alternative, I understand S&S are now marketing a back axle fitted with a disc brake conversion. This will obviously give greater stopping power but I have no details of its effectiveness or cost.


Context and objectives
In SAR interferometry (InSAR), phase unwrapping remains the bottleneck to get continuous phase measurements among separated coherent areas, which is required to compute the topographic or the relative displacement component. In addition to giving relative measurements, classical interferometry often leads to unconnected patches, each unwrapped independently. For each patch, ground truth is required to allow connecting them together and get continuous measurement across the scene. Unfortunately, in general, these ground truth data are unavailable.
Most recent SAR sensors use wide band signals to achieve metric range resolution. One can also take advantage of wide band to split it into sub-bands and generate several lower-resolution images from a single acquisition. This Split Band process, also named Multi Chromatic Analysis (MCA), corresponds to performing a spectral analysis of SAR images. Split-Band SAR interferometry (SBInSAR) is based on spectral analysis performed on each image of an InSAR pair, yielding a stack of sub-band interferograms. Scatterers keeping a spectrally coherent behaviour in each sub-band interferogram show a phase that varies linearly with the carrier frequency, the slope being proportional to the absolute optical path difference. This might allow connecting independent zones, estimating the absolute phase on most coherent pixels of each patch, provided that the required accuracy could be achieved.
The project is aiming at developing a novel methodology to improve the phase unwrapping in SAR interferometry (InSAR) and get an absolute phase map wherever possible by applying MCA on pursuit and spotlight TERRASAR-X data. The method will be tested on two active volcanic zones: the Nyiragongo/Nyamulagira (RDC) and the Copahue (Argentina). In the first case, it should allow getting connected displacement measurements on separated areas around the highly vegetated volcanoes. In the second case, known to be more challenging in terms of topography, it should allow to resolve the required topographic component.
Results will be compared with the results from a state-of-the-art method (MSBAS) in order to assess and quantify the benefit of the proposed methodology.
Expected scientific results
• Development of an integrated absolute phase unwrapping processing method. It is expected to develop SBInSAR and to integrate it in existing processing chain to allow getting continuous phase measurement, resolving phase ambiguities between isolated or independent areas;
• A resolved displacement map of the Nyiragongo volcano;
• A validated high-resolution topographic map of the Copahue area.
Expected products and services
• Method allowing to solve or ease the phase unwrapping process, extending the measurement area.
• Derived products will be:
- A better lava lake levelling of the Nyiaragongo volcano to improve its monitoring.
- An extended DEM of the Copahue volcano
• Scientific users working on processing side and in need of a solution for unwrapping problem or using InSAR results in their studies and models.
• Public or state department, like OVG in RDC or ONEMI in Chile, in charge of volcanic or seismic monitoring, and LGA in their water management models.

Lady Gaga, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Britney Spears, Harry Styles. Everyone who's anyone in the world of music has recently taken a spin with cuddly Cockney James Corden as part of his 'Carpool Karaoke' segment of The Late Late Show in the States.
We reckon the next edition could be the most popular yet though as international megastar Ed Sheeran buckles up beside James to belt out a few of his biggest hits while hitting the open road.
Next week, Corden brings his show to London and along with Ed, there will also be appearances by Tom Cruise, David Beckham, Emily Blunt, Harry Styles, Kings Of Leon and loads more.
To whet the appetites, the following clip has been released which features the 'Galway Girl' singer in his element in the passenger seat.
We can't wait to see the full thing.


Ashraf al-Qedra, spokesman for the health ministry, said that the dead include 15 children, three women and four old men.
In the latest attacks, Israeli gunboats fired two shells towards Al-Shatie refugee camp in western Gaza city, killing a member of the military wing of Islamic Hamas movement and a girl who was playing nearby.
The lying Zionist, Marc Ginsberg, calls this surgical strikes. He also says that Hamas is for bullets not negotiations! What negotiations?

Mostly I do fashionshoots on a nice location, so for most shots I don't like to blur out the background completely at f1.4 or f1.2.
Last week I did again a shoot with 24-70 2.8L & 70-200 2.8L II, and I can blur out the background also at 200mm f2.8 for closeups.
I didn't want the hassle to switch too many lenses as I like to concentrate on the shoot too.
I think i'm losing my love for the best primes ever, help
Would you shoot with a 24-70 & 70-200 and even take some time to take some relaxed pics with a Sigma 50 1.4Art (halfbody/fashion) and/or a Canon 85 1.2L (portrait) on top of them ?
Switching 3-4 lenses seems a bit much... maybe I forgot the special wow effect of the primes, I don't know
I used the 24-70 for the 24mm (to have some shots of the model with a big abandoned train next to her) and the 70-200 for the close-ups at 200 2.8

How does an automatic voltage regulator work?
Automatic voltage regulators (AVRs) work by stabilizing the output voltage of generators at variable loads, but can also divide the reactive load between generators that are running in parallel ( voltage droop), and helps the generator respond to overloads.
How do you set up an automatic voltage regulator?
Initial set up of automatic voltage regulator Begin with frequency at minimum setting. With the generator running under NO LOAD, set the voltage pot to obtain the correct setting. With the generator running under NO LOAD, decrease the speed of the generator by 10%. Set the amp pot to 75% of rotation.
How does AVR work in alternator?
An automatic voltage regulator ( AVR ) is a solid state electronic device for automatically maintaining generator output terminal voltage at a set value. It will try and do this as the generator load or operating temperature changes. The AVR is part of the alternators excitation system.
How do you use automatic voltage stabilizer?
It is an electrical appliance that feeds constant voltage to a load during over and under voltage conditions. This device detects these voltage conditions and correspondingly brings the voltage to desired range. Voltage stabilizers provide a means to regulate the supply voltage to the load.
Do I need automatic voltage regulator?
An Automatic Voltage Regulator is an electronic device or circuit that maintains an output voltage to be consistent to its load current. This is necessary because the voltage delivered to your home and mine may sometimes fluctuate which can cause serious damages to your appliance; if not completely destroying it.
What is the purpose of automatic voltage regulator?
An automatic voltage regulator (AVR) is an electronic device that maintains a constant voltage level to electrical equipment on the same load. The AVR regulates voltage variations to deliver constant, reliable power supply.
What are the types of regulators?
Types of Regulators Depending upon the type of regulation, the regulators are mainly divided into two types namely, line and load regulators. Line Regulator − The regulator which regulates the output voltage to be constant, in spite of input line variations, it is called as Line regulator.
What is the difference between voltage stabilizer and voltage regulator?
The voltage regulator delivers constant voltage as output without any changes in the incoming mains voltage. The speed of the voltage regulator is less compared to voltage stabilizer. If we compare both, the high-speed voltage regulation with greater precision can be achieved through Servo voltage stabilizer.
Is a voltage regulator a transformer?
Autotransformers are a type of electrical transformer that has an established electrical connection between the set of coils within the electrical transformer. Voltage regulators work to measure how well a power transformer can constantly maintain secondary voltage that is being given at a primary, constant voltage.
What happens if AVR fails?
When AVR fails a protection called Field Failure protection will come into picture and trip the generator. If Failure of field is associated with under voltage which might happen due to severe fault near the generator and AVR might trip not able to maintain the voltage, the generator is tripped instantaneously.
What is the best automatic voltage regulator?
Automatic Voltage Regulator There are 17 products. KIPOR AVR PLY-DAVR-50S. P 4,950.00. AKARI DIGITAL TYPE AVR ASR-2000VA. P 3,399.75. AKARI DIGITAL TYPE AVR ASR-1000VA. P 1,999.75. AKARI AVR-SVC500 AUTO VOLTAGE REGULATOR. P 2,499.00. AKARI AVR-SVC1500 AUTO VOLTAGE REGULATOR. P 3,895.00.
Does AVR save electricity?
It Can Protect Electrical Products From Surges The cost to repair each one will eat a good amount of your savings. This means that the AVR senses any power surges coming from the source of electricity and automatically normalizes it before it even gets to your appliance.
Does voltage stabilizer reduce electricity bill?
Does Voltage Stabilizer increases Electricity Bill? The answer is No. Electrical Input = Output + Losses. If Losses rise for the same output, we require more input power to our equipment, so that we end up spending more on losses.
What is automatic voltage stabilizer?
Also known as an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) or Voltage Regulator (VR), an Automatic Voltage Stabiliser (AVS) stabilises the mains power supply voltage to a load. It is a feature of Line Interactive uninterruptible power supplies and provides protection from power problems such as sags, brownouts and surges.
Which type of transformer is used in automatic voltage stabilizer?
3. Constant Voltage Transformer. It is a type of saturating transformer which is used as a voltage stabilizer; it is also called as ferroresonant transformer or ferroresonant regulator.

The hysteria that followed Callum Wilson’s injury has returned. Kieran Trippier is not a goalscoring centre-forward but he has already established himself as an equally talismanic figure at St James’ Park, and every supporter recognises that his impending absence will be keenly felt.
“He is not just a right-back,” a well-placed source said last week. “He is everything that was needed and more. He could be the difference between staying up or going down.”
That is why, in just his fifth game for the club, Trippier deputised for Jamaal Lascelles as captain on Sunday. For some supporters, even that was a belated awarding of the armband to the 31-year-old, so significant is the impression he has made already.
Trippier’s immense impact helps explain why, in less than 24 hours, the ever-increasing optimism among Newcastle fans, generated by three successive victories and Eddie Howe’s 17th-placed side opening up a four-point gap to the bottom three, is being revised.
The news that the right-back has broken the fifth metatarsal in his left foot is just as significant a knock to Newcastle’s survival hopes as Wilson’s calf injury that he picked up in December. Trippier is understood to be keen to undergo surgery in a bid to return as quickly as possible but such breaks usually take two to three months to heal.
Trippier is highly unlikely to play until at least after the March international break, meaning he will miss at least five matches — and that is a hopeful estimate.

*Trips to Southampton and Everton both to be rearranged
Howe, Newcastle’s head coach, declared that “it would be a big blow to lose” Trippier and it is understood that behind the scenes, there is an acceptance that the right-back’s injury is extremely damaging. There is also an even more perceptible sense of relief that Newcastle have managed to accrue “vital” points over the past few weeks.
Even so, while he will be sorely missed on the field, Trippier will remain instrumental off it. His influence stretches far beyond his on-pitch actions, even if he has contributed two goals in his past two games, both from direct free kicks, to make him the only player beyond Wilson (six), Allan Saint-Maximin (five) and Jonjo Shelvey (tw0) to score more than once for Newcastle this season.
As the first acquisition of the post-Mike Ashley era and someone who traded the Champions League for a team trending towards the Championship, Trippier immediately assumed “statement signing” status. It was warranted and not only because he brought unquestionable quality as a La Liga champion with Atletico Madrid and a Euro 2020 final starter for England.
There were no fears about diminishing hunger, either. During conversations with the club, Trippier made it clear that he intended to make the England squad for the Qatar World Cup this winter.
Newcastle knew that Trippier would undoubtedly improve them but also hoped that signing a player of his standing would convince others to join. Part of the reason Sven Botman and Diego Carlos were initially receptive to moving to Tyneside was because Trippier had already made the move.
“We were 19th in the league in January. All the best players are already at amazing clubs or playing in the Champions League, so why would they want to come here in those circumstances?” a senior source said last month. “We need players who understand what they’re up against and who are prepared to fight. The beauty of Kieran is that he could see all that. He understood what we’re trying to do — we didn’t have to sell Newcastle to him. He wanted to come back to England but he’s here for the challenge. That’s a powerful message.”
It may seem like a minor point but Newcastle’s desire to recruit “fighters” with proven Premier League experience underpinned their January transfer strategy. In Trippier, Howe — who had coached the full-back at Burnley — knew he was bringing in a reliable performer but also someone with an infectious personality.
Just a day after signing, Trippier started against Cambridge United and was already passing on instructions and advice to his team-mates. Following that embarrassing defeat, he tried to encourage the players who headed straight for the tunnel to acknowledge the St James’ faithful.
Then, in the weeks that have followed, he has assumed a prominent role within the leadership group. Trippier is described as Howe’s “on-field general” by a source and a “figurehead that others players look up to” off it. Internally, there are comparisons with centre-back Brian Kilcline and the effect he had on the Newcastle squad when Kevin Keegan signed him in February 1992.
During last month’s warm-weather training camp in Jeddah, Trippier took the opportunity to become better acquainted with his team-mates, listening to them and imparting advice. He has spent time with the Longstaff brothers, allowing them to pick his brains for footballing knowledge, while he has used those conversations to gain a greater understanding of the club and the area.
Interestingly, rather than be perturbed by the authority Trippier commands, Lascelles is said to have been galvanised by it. As well as fighters, Howe also recognised the dearth of leadership within his squad and he believed that the England international could help share that significant burden without being daunted by it. The right-back is said to have constantly relayed his conviction that Newcastle will survive to his team-mates.
“A lot of players would have been scared to take this challenge on,” Trippier told The Athletic last month. “I’m not.”
The level in training has been “raised” by the arrival of Trippier and his fellow January signings, while both Newcastle’s form and those of individuals have improved. Since he joined, Newcastle have conceded just twice in four league games, keeping two clean sheets and claiming 10 points.
Lascelles has looked far more composed at right centre-back with Trippier alongside him while Ryan Fraser has delivered his best performances for Newcastle in front of him. Fraser has let Howe know just how invaluable he feels Trippier’s signing has been.
Yet, although Howe will keep Trippier as involved as possible at the training ground in the coming weeks, Newcastle will definitely be weakened on the pitch without him.
Full-backs are crucial to Howe’s game plan, with attacks built down the flanks, which is why Trippier and Matt Targett were signed last month. What’s more, Trippier has also become Newcastle’s set-piece specialist, scoring those two free kicks and providing excellent delivery from wide positions, including the corner that led to the equaliser against Everton.
Trippier had the most touches (76, shown below) against Everton and most passes into the box (13) of any player, while he also saw significantly more of the ball than any of his team-mates (36 touches) during the first half against Aston Villa.
Trippier’s touches against Everton
In fact, per 90 minutes, he has averaged the most touches (75.5), the most crosses and corners (5.4), the most successful passes (26.7), attempted the most crosses into the box (9.9), and created the second-most chances created (2.1) from those players who have started the last four matches.
“People will find this strange but what I really like about him is he always does the simple things extremely well,” says John Anderson, the BBC Newcastle summariser and former Newcastle right-back. “His decision-making is exemplary but he is also a leader, and he brings technical quality, composure on the ball. As a right-back, I haven’t seen a player of his quality at Newcastle in years. Newcastle are massively weakened without him.”
It is little wonder, then, that Fraser believes Trippier has belied his 5ft 8in frame to become a “monster” on the pitch for Newcastle already.
And the reality is that Newcastle do not have a like-for-like replacement. They have other full-backs but none who can replicate everything Trippier offers.
Trippier’s natural deputy is Javier Manquillo, the full-back who can play on both flanks. However, the Spaniard also limped off against Villa with suffered suspected ankle ligament damage. The 27-year-old is still being assessed but appears doubtful for the trip to West Ham United on Saturday.
Instead, Emil Krafth, who replaced Trippier on Sunday, could deputise. The Sweden international has rarely convinced at Premier League level and is a significant downgrade on Manquillo, never mind Trippier.
Beyond that, all alternatives appear risky. Jacob Murphy has played right-back but the winger struggled defensively, while neither Paul Dummett nor Targett has started a top-flight match on the right, and Dan Burn, who can cover at full-back, is also left-footed.
Having switched to a back five during the latter stages against Villa, Howe may consider doing so again in the short term, given Murphy or Fraser could be used at right wing-back. Ideally, Howe wants to stick with the 4-3-3 formation which has delivered positive results recently but he may feel forced to reshape the side in Trippier’s absence.
Newcastle will be undeniably diminished without Trippier, even if his presence will still be felt behind the scenes. He really is more than just a right-back and, inside five games, he may have already transformed the course of Newcastle’s season. Which may be just as well, particularly if he is out for an extended period.

Plane-wave dynamics of optical parametric oscillation with simultaneous sum-frequency generation
IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
897 - 912
Item Usage Stats
This paper presents a theoretical analysis of sum-frequency generating optical parametric oscillators where a single nonlinear crystal is used for both parametric generation and sum-frequency generation. In these devices, the parametric and sum-frequency generation processes are both phase matched for the same direction of propagation inside the crystal. Different polarization geometries for which this simultaneous phase-matching condition can potentially be satisfied are identified and categorized, for both birefringent and quasi-phase-matching methods. Plane-wave coupled-mode equations are presented for each of these categories. Solutions of these coupled mode equations and calculation of the single-pass saturated signal gain are outlined. Intracavity signal photon flux density calculations based on these solutions lead to stable steady-state upconversion, multistability, and chaos. The dependence of the photon conversion efficiency on various design parameters are investigated.

New submission from Josh Rosenberg:
According to a note on the pickle docs ( https://docs.python.org/3/library/pickle.html#object.__getstate__ ): "If __getstate__() returns a false value, the __setstate__() method will not be called upon unpickling."
The phrasing is a little odd (since according to the __setstate__ docs, there is a behavior for classes without __setstate__ where it just assigns the contents of the pickled state dict to the __dict__ of the object), but to me, this means that any falsy value should prevent any __setstate__-like behavior.
But this is not how it works. Both the C accelerator and Python code treat None specially (they don't pickle state at all if it's None), which prevents __setstate__ or the __setstate__-like fallback from being executed.
But if it's any other falsy value, the behaviors differ, and diverge from the docs. Specifically, on load of a pickle with a non-None falsy state (say, False itself, or 0, or () or ):
Pure Python pickle: Does not execute fallback code, behaves as expected (it just stored state it will never use), matching spirit of docs
C accelerated _pickle: Fails on anything but the empty dict with an UnpicklingError: state is not a dictionary, violating spirit of docs
Both versions call __setstate__ even though the documentation explicitly says they will not.
Seems like if nothing else, the docs should agree with the code, and the C and Python modules should agree on behavior.
I would not be at all surprised if outside code depends on being able to pickle falsy state and have its __setstate__ receive the falsy state (if nothing else, when the state is a container or number, being empty or 0 would be reasonable; failing to call __setstate__ in that case would be surprising). So it's probably not a good idea to make the implementation match the docs.
My proposal would be that at pickle time, if the class lacks __setstate__, treat any falsy return value as None. This means:
1. pickles are smaller (no storing junk that the default __setstate__-like behavior can't use)
2. pickles are valid (no UnpicklingError from the default __setstate__-like behavior)
The docs would also have to change, to indicate that, if defined, __setstate__ will be called even if __getstate__ returned a falsy (but not None) value.
Downside is the description of what happens is a little complex, since the behavior for non-None falsy values differs depending on the presence of a real __setstate__. Upside is that any code depending on the current behavior of falsy state being passed to __setstate__ keeps working, CPython and other interpreters will match behavior, and classes without __setstate__ will have smaller pickles.

More Filming as U2 Visits São Paulo
Original Story by Aaron J. Sams (2017-10-20)
U2 is currently in São Paulo for four concerts, the first of which was held last night. The band has also been making some stops and doing some filming. According to O Estado de São Paulo the band has been seen filming in two locations in the city.
The first location planned was the top of the Italy Building (Edifício Itália) on Wednesday, October 18. This filming was for TV Globo’s Fantástico and the performance is expected to air on Sunday. The article said that plans were changed at the last minute and the filming took place at the TV Globo building south of the city, on a heliport on the roof of the building.
Footage of that performance has appeared on the Internet, set to the music of “Vertigo”.
At least one of the songs performed by U2 during that video shoot was an acoustic version of “Vertigo” and portions of that performance can be seen on Globo.com in a preview for the episode.
Today, the band was once again seen on a roof of a building in São Paulo. This time they took to the roof of the Copan building in downtown São Paulo this afternoon. The recording session on the roof was quick and the band did not stay for long, leaving for lunch after the shoot. During the filming session Bono was seen to be holding his green Gretsch guitar, leading to speculation that we may see him play in the video. Again, the song they performed is not known.
Olha quem está gravando no Edifício COPAN nesse exato momento?

When the band visited Mexico earlier this month, they were seen shooting a video on the rooftop in Mexico City. That video shoot was for a new single “Get Out of Your Own Way” which is expected to be the next single to be released from U2’s upcoming album, Songs of Experience. That song we are told will be released next week, when the full announcement of the album happens.

Founding of Prince County Fiddlers | Bowing Down Home
PD - Peter Doiron
KP Curator Ken Perlman
KP: Were you in on the Prince County Fiddlers right from the beginning?
PD Prince County, yes. We had out little meeting in a barber shop here when we first decided to join, and I was one of the first people in on the first meeting. [It was] about 1977 I guess, or '78, in those years that we organized here. And one of the foremost is our musical director that probably could give you more detailed information on the Prince County Fiddlers, is John Gauthier, a former major with the Air Force out here. He has a great deal of information. He lives in Belmont, which is about 12 miles west of here.
KP What's the emphasis at Prince County?
PD The Emphasis here is on preciseness as a group might play together instead of trying to play your own individual style. We stick to a pattern of music, and everybody plays it fairly well. I do a bit of harmony with the group. They play a piece, and if it harmonizes well, I will throw in a bit of harmony. I've enjoyed playing with the Prince County group as a member. The fiddlers in our group now are aging to a point, not say to the point that they're going to die tomorrow, but we have about three or four younger ones that are coming in our group, so it's not going to necessarily die off unless they want it to die off. And we're very closely associated with Libby Hubly and her dancers. So together when we put on a concert, we usually put on a concert with the dancers and the fiddlers, which makes it a little more appealing to the audience.


Mayoral Elections in California: 1995-2014
Marschall, Melissa; Lappie, John
Political observers’ assumptions about local election trends are often based on anecdotes, incomplete observation or simply conventional wisdom. However, the Kinder Institute for Urban Research and its Center for Local Elections in American Politics offer a first-of-its-kind way to analyze elections. In California cities where mayoral elections coincide with the presidential elections, voter turnout is more than double that of cities where mayoral elections are conducted off cycle, LEAP found. This study confirms existing work on the relationship between the timing of elections and turnout but also sheds important new empirical light on the nature and magnitude of this relationship. Policymakers will find this analysis helpful when seeking ways to improve political participation and strengthen local democracy in America.
If you’re like most Americans, you probably think Election Day is some time in November. But for local contests in Los Angeles – like many other cities – elections are held at a lesser-known point on the calendar. Now, new figures show just how great an effect election timing has on mayoral contests. On average, mayoral elections held off cycle in California have less than half the voter turnout of mayoral elections that coincide with presidential contests.

THIIIS IS THE GREATEST,
SONG THAT EVER LIVED
IIIII'M IN LOVE WITH IT!
I could do without the rap and spoken word part.
Maybe a bit more sophisticated lyrics but musically..this song rocks!
A big surprise when I first listened.
Love: "I'm like the mage with the magic spell, you come like a dog when I ring your bell"
Love: "If you don't like it, you can shove it, but you don't like it, you love it"
Hate: The sirens
Hate: "Til they pull the curtain down on my staaaaage."
I actually like the rap section. The lyrics there are so cool.
This song actually is Freddie Mercury-esque, I think.

Different sorts of military vehicles are utilized in utilized in war-torn regions or spots where clashes are available and persistent. One of the most well-known kinds of specific vehicles you will see in such regions are reinforced recuperation vehicles.
A shielded recuperation vehicle, otherwise called Armoredownload-12d Fix and Recuperation Vehicle or ARRV, has the main role of recuperating and additionally fixing harmed or inoperable vehicles squarely in the combat zone.
These specific vehicles were first called Rescue tanks during The Second Great War. It was uniquely during the Subsequent Universal Conflict that individuals started calling them recuperation vehicles.
The most punctual renditions of these vehicles were generally furnished with fix instruments or with winches of rock solid to deliver the stuck vehicles. Be that as it may, the last ages or fresher models were equipped with a sort of crane appended to the A-outline – a component which could play out the assignment of lifting weighty parts from incapacitated vehicles, like the motor. Furthermore, during the post-war time frame, different extraordinary adjustments and enhancements were made in these vehicles. A portion of these capacities incorporate the further developed capacity of these vehicles to convey an additional a motor to supplant a non-chipping away at the field and fuel siphons which permit the simple exchange of fuel. They can likewise convey secures which can be used as stabilizers in hard work circumstances.
Previously, recuperation vehicles were generally gotten from fight tanks of other shielded battling vehicles. Today, most producers construct them from a similar kind of material or vehicle they will no doubt or regularly recuperate on the conflict field.
In spite of the fact that recuperation vehicles are one of the sturdiest and most grounded particular vehicles around, they likewise have limits. In situations where crafted by a recuperation vehicle is beyond the realm of possibilities any longer, tank carriers should be utilized. Tank carriers have the mission of moving the tanks on the conflict field for longer distances, to diminish street harm, save fuel, or to recuperate them from the conflict field. Specific sorts or models of tank carriers are outfitted with unique security, in the event that they need to advance up to the main line.
Defensively covered recuperation vehicles are significant kinds of specific vehicles to have and utilize where battling, particularly with the utilization of ordnance, is reliably present. To ensure that you can take advantage of your vehicles and that the administrator and travelers will be protected during transport, ensure that you buy them just from a notable and believed auto assembling organization.

I AM a subscriber to your paper and a Hayward resident. I feel I have to respond to (“Valle’s home turf divided over his value,” Local 1, June 1). The article could never be called fair and unbiased.
This situation seems more like a pathetic family feud than a neighborhood divided, and the photo you used borders on slanderous.
It would have been better to give Mr. Valle a chance to defend his position or hear the views of noninvolved residents of the area. Your paper provided neither.
My personal knowledge of Richard Valle is that he is a fair and compassionate person who is very much involved in the betterment of his community, and would make a great addition to the board of supervisors.
Editor’s note: As stated in the story, Mr. Valle was given an opportunity to respond and chose not to comment.
who seek to improve schools
“MAKE NO mistake, there is a definite correlation between better schools and a better quality of life in a given community,” wrote the Contra Costa Times in a recent editorial.
“Quality public schools are an essential part of luring businesses and keeping middle-families,” observed the San Francisco Chronicle last week.
In casting your vote on Tuesday, please consider candidates who recognize the importance of public education in their platforms and have demonstrated a commitment to improving our public schools.
Ellen Corbett, Bill McCammon, Alice Lai Bitker, Tony Santos and Michael Gregory all assisted on the Measure A campaign for San Leandro’s public schools. Each gave of his or her personal time — when they could have worked on their own campaigns — to support Measure A by coming to the phone bank or walking precincts and speaking to voters about the need for greater funding for our schools.
In the governor’s race, please support Steve Westly. He is a contentious, engaged leader, receptive to new ideas and has been committed to public service all of his life. Westly also has a personal stake in the quality of our public schools: His daughter attends public school.
Why isn’t this
IN FRIDAY’S newspaper, the editorial states that “Badger looks, feels like San Leandro’s next mayor.” If you read the opening paragraph, it starts out about how Marcene Nardine has it all together — articulate, energetic, knows the community, etc. — but in the editor’s opinion, “it’s not her time.”
My question to the editor is, “Why not?”
Please note that it is time for this city to have someone like Marcene be mayor. Marcene Nardine is energetic, articulate, has lived in our community her entire life, and is very active in our community. She is a business banker who knows the small business community and how to help them be successful. She would be our first Hispanic woman mayor who can totally relate to our community in more ways than one.
The editor’s opinion of “We hope voters agree that Orval Badger has the look and feel of San Leandro’s next mayor” cannot even compare to what Marcene Nardine can bring to this city and community as San Leandro’s next mayor.
In my opinion, Marcene has the look and the feel of San Leandro’s next mayor and that is why she has my vote on Tuesday, June 6.

Herding behavior in conventional cryptocurrency market, non-fungible tokens, and DeFi assets.
We examine the static and time-varying herding behavior in three cryptocurrency classes: ‘conventional’ cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens, and DeFi assets during the most recent cryptocurrency bubble of 2021. While static herding analysis failed to demonstrate any evidence of herding, the time-varying herding has been identified in conventional cryptocurrencies and DeFi assets for the short investment horizons. The herding asymmetry analysis reveals that herding is not evident in conventional cryptocurrencies and NFT during up/down market, high/low volatility days, and high/low trading days. We only find herding in DeFi assets during the low volatility days.

James Franco Most Likely Won't Appear In DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES
When it was announced that Rupert Wyatt, director of Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes, would not return for the sequel, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes, it pretty much ended all chances of James Franco reprising his role as well. Hit the jump to voice your opinion.
MTV recently caught up with James "Renaissance Man" Franco and inquired about him possibly reprising his role as Dr. Will Rodman in the Rise of the Planet of the Apes sequel, which will now be directed by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield).
MTV: Are you going to be making an appearance in "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes"?
Franco: I was going to be a small part of the next one. There was a moment when Rupert Wyatt was going to direct the second one. A lot of the human characters that were in the first movie were dead in the sequel that Rupert was going to direct. But there was one scene, between Caesar and my character, maybe even just like on a video that was left behind, but then a lot of things happened, like [former Fox co-chairman] Tom Rothman who was a big part of the first movie, left. Now Rupert's not a part of it so I don't know. My guess is I won't be in it. Nobody's talked to me since Rupert left.
Is the character essential to the sequel? He kind of is. I mean his character did create ALZ-112, which started this whole mess, and is an emotional cornerstone for Caesar. It would certainly make for a smoother bridge between the two films. As for me I'd like to see him comeback, even if it's in a smaller role.
I would like to point out that after Rupert Wyatt left, Mark Bomback was brought in by Reeves to fix the script. So there is a good chance that the script isn't finalized just yet, and that is why Franco's phone has been quiet. I guess we'll find out May 23rd, 2014, when the film is released.

Mon, 21 Nov
Average sales again in Sylvan Lake in the first half of November continue to support our theory that we may be on the recovery road. That theory is further supported by the lower number of active listings compared to last month. In a normal market we expect to see lower inventories as we move into winter, but higher inventory levels would be a symptom of a slower market, that we might expect in spite of the season, if the market was still in decline.
While sales are slightly lower than this time last year and inventories are slightly higher, we are seeing progress and that’s encouraging.
Anyone paying attention to the news will undoubtedly be wondering where our economy is heading. Oil prices briefly went over US$50 but are back down to the mid $45 range again. The future of oil prices will be decided by foreign oil producer’s (OPEC and Russia’s) ability to agree on lower production levels going forward. It is impossible to predict how that will play out, but common sense suggests that those countries are suffering the same as we are and production cuts are the answer.
The US election may provide some relief for Alberta as there is now optimism that the Keystone pipeline will be approved soon. That likelihood is putting pressure on our federal government to approve the Kinder Morgan expansion to Burnaby. So, there is some hope that we are now at the bottom of this economic slowdown. But, the recovery will be slower and it is likely that we will see similar real estate markets as we’ve experienced in 2016 well into 2017 at least. That is not the end of the world. Our local markets have fared reasonably well. Yes prices are off a little from their most recent highs reached in 2014, but are not down significantly except possibly at the high end of the price spectrum.
Recent Alberta Treasury Branch economic updates are reporting some good news in various sectors – vehicle sales in Alberta in September were up a little, manufacturing shipments from Alberta are only down 5% this year and were up a little in August and September, travelers to Alberta are experiencing lower accommodation prices which should encourage more travel here and the economic gain that accompanies that, the new home price index in Alberta is unchanged over the last two years, and there has been a lot of positive news about added activity in the energy sector.
We don’t believe there is a boom in our near future, although approval of two pipelines would give a tremendous boost to our confidence and the economy. Let’s hope common sense prevails on both sides of the border.
Tue, 08 Nov
Sales in Sylvan Lake in October slowed compared to September, which is typical for this time of year. The drop this year wasn’t as dramatic as last year which is a positive sign. The number of active listings is down again, close to levels we saw at this time last year. The 7.5% sales to listing ratio means buyers are still in the driver’s seat with ample choices and competitive prices. Without question, this is the perfect time to buy assuming we have seen the worst of the economic slowdown. The Alberta Treasury Branch has just released its latest economic report which seems to support that theory.
Largely due to a recovery in oil prices to around US$50, the ATB is predicting a modest rebound for Alberta of 2.1% growth after a contraction of 2.6% in 2016. It’s not a boom for sure, but it is a move in the right direction. The contraction in our economy has been longer and more pronounced and there is no doubt it will take longer to recover.
In addition to rising oil prices, strong agriculture, tourism and high tech industries and the rebuilding of Ft. McMurray will contribute to a stronger Alberta economy in 2017. While the recovery will be slower, we are confident Alberta is still a great place to live and invest.
Tue, 08 Nov
The number of active listings is down again, a very good sign that the economy and housing market are heading in the right direction. Sales were down in the first two weeks of October compared to the same time in September, but September got off to an exceptional start. October sales so far are back to normal for this time of year.
The most active market continues to be between $300,000 and $400,000, which also has the highest number of active listings. A good balance between supply and demand in that price range means buyers will continue to have lots of choices while serious sellers will continue to have buyers for their homes.
Housing Starts Rebound – Todd Hirsch, Chief Economist, ATB Financial
Shiny new condominium projects and charming new subdivisions have become familiar sights in Alberta, but there’s no question that the pace of new home construction has been slowed by the recession. However, new data from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation are more positive.
After hitting a multi-year low in August, housing starts in Alberta roared back in September. Builders began construction on nearly 29,000 units last month, up from less than 20,000 the month prior. (The figures are seasonally adjusted to take into account regular and predictable fluctuations that occur each month; they are also presented at annualized rates, meaning the number of homes that would be built in an entire year if the same pace of activity was maintained for 12 months).
There are few economic statistics that are better indicators of consumer sentiment than housing starts. The drop in new home building activity over the last two years—illustrated clearly in the graph below—suggests Albertans have become a bit more hesitant to make a major purchase like a new home. It also reflects weaker demand as fewer people have been moving to Alberta. Over the last 12 months, total starts are down 32 per cent compared to the previous 12 months.
The good news is that home builders are pulling back on supply in reaction to softer demand—and that has helped keep the residential real estate market in reasonably good balance. New home prices have been virtually unchanged in Alberta’s two major cities throughout the downturn.

When the Spring finally started, I sighed deeply. The beauty of mankind lies within its optimism to see(k) beauty in everything. I wrote that a couple of years ago. I had reminded myself that although I could no longer see the beauty I was going to need to seek for it. Which I managed to see again, but there were days that the only success I had was coming out of bed. I was weighed down by desperate thoughts that nobody liked me. Not my family, not my friends and the whole world was against me. In my road to recovery, I had to shift a lot of perspectives and let go of attachments. My fear of intimacy was breached by a gentle boy who never judged me for what happened in the past. There might come days that I will be able to share it with you all but for now, my past is mine to keep.
Spring brought Easter in April. My sister organised an Easter brunch at her place. Most of my family had talked me into attending since I am reluctant to come at their gatherings. Although I love being around my family, times with them can take its intense toll on me. In the Netherlands, we have two Easter days, just as we have two Christmas days. Which is quite convenient since we celebrate it with two different families. The day had exhausted me so, I climbed into my sister’s bed and when the last family member drained away, I had fallen asleep. When I woke up I looked at the ceiling and broke down into tears. I was clueless to why I felt so overwhelmed. I had such a great day and yet a flood of sorrow drowned me. My sister had drifted off into a slumber but woke up to the sound of my sobbing. She asked me if I was okay. Her concern touched me. I wish there had been more healthy discussions with my sister that could have bonded us stronger. ‘Is it Mum?’ she asked. Everybody knew in my family that my mother and I weren’t on the best of terms. At first, I was compelled to say no, trying to convince myself it didn’t bother me at all but it did. It was just not all of it.
I compared my life to that of my sister’s. My sister had her own place and a job in which she was good at and still, my only success was that I managed to take care of my cat. Although a devil screamed inside my ears that I sucked at that too. I was hesitant in trusting my sister but I asked her to come closer and lie in bed with me. I explained it to her while she was next to me. It was the-never-ending-comparing-my-life with that of more “successful” people, like my sister. She hugged me tight and started sobbing. She told me that although she seems to have everything and most of the times she is happy, she does have days where she doesn’t know why she is doing it. The job requires her to be mean to other people and my sister hates that part. “I honestly don’t believe I am a bad person,” she said through her tears. And I agreed with her a million times and I still do. Some jobs make you do horrible stuff because it earns money. It made sense. The reason why I had been so confused about my success is that I couldn’t afford to compromise a part of myself where I am forced to be unnaturally unkind to others.
In the moment that my sister opened herself since a very long time, I no longer felt being her shadow. She became more human to me. Showing me that her life has a terrible price, a terrible compromise. I was happy in a way that I connected with my sister on such a deep level. It’s a connection I have been yearning for but unable to receive from most of my family. One was enough in that moment. I stopped comparing myself and let go of the self-scrutiny that have held me back for a long time.
The next morning my father’s side of the family came to my sister’s place. I helped my sister prepare everything, feeling at bliss doing stuff for my family. The size of my father’s family has never been big. My father has one brother who doesn’t have any biological kids. Making this table look much bigger than it was the day before. Halfway through the brunch, I felt that someone was missing. The signs were there. There was one extra plate and my heart longed to share the plethora of food which we have, with this gentle boy. I called him. On the phone, he told me he dropped everything and he was on his way to meet me.
As they were busy making plans to go outside and do stuff, I got a little uncomfortable. The idea that the gentle boy, whom I had invited would come in too late because they were busy making other plans. In a moment I had the feeling that I was being ignored again. I retreated in silence and dissatisfaction. My brother came to me and said that ‘some things just happen the way they do, and this is the natural flow. They can’t always wait for others’.
I was still upset about them being less observant but I appreciated my brother’s effort in comforting me. As he got back into his seat, he watched me from across the room. He didn’t take his eyes off of me. It may have salvaged the pain a bit but, it didn’t want to stop itching. I caught him looking at me and I knew that when he closed his eyes in my direction, was a sign that he was thinking of me. In that moment I realised, I was unwitting that my brother was aware of how I felt. My connection with my brother was more silent than the recent rekindled one with my sister. It relieved a lot of pressure. After the gentle boy made his appearance at the door, the atmosphere in the room changed. My family was willing to take him in as if he were already part of them. After coming from a walk, my grandmother came next to me and said that he was approved.
End of April was celebrated with a festival at the Elfia Fantasy fair.
I remember the first time I went with my friend Mieke.
In my early days of photography, my mother took me to a Halloween party for kids to photograph. My mother’s friend, who had organised the party had collected entertainers. Per coincidence, she met Mieke on a bus when Mieke was being simply herself. At the Halloween party my mother scouted Mieke as a model and from there we became friends. Only half a year later she asked me to come to the festival for the first time. When I first arrived, I whispered in Mieke’s ear; that this was the fantasy world existing in my mind and now became real. I had come with her to the Elfia festival for three years. We became distant for a while. It seemed necessary to withhold myself from any form of friendship that we nearly became strangers. Speaking about what happened to me, felt like I was closing a chapter that had been waiting for me to be closed. This chapter will be elaborated in another blog post.


The book provides an interesting view of the history and growth of computers, seeing through the eyes of the hackers; the somewhat elusive group of people that have never cared much for contention, have pushed the limits of both computing hardware and software, and have at the same time engage in headed and headstrong arguments about computers, hardware and software.
The book discusses three main groups of hackers, representing the early era’s of modern computing. The first were the group of mainframe hackers bases at MIT in the 50’s an 60’s, using computing time on the hulking mainframes, trying to get the monolithic batch-processing machines to bend to their will.
The second group were the so-called hardware hackers; a group of hardware junkies at Berkeley, figuring out how to assemble pieces hardware to create their own working computers in the 70’s. This was the days of Alteir, the beginning of Intel and Steve Wozniak (who created the original Apple and Apple II).
The final group focuses largely on computer games; an industry which sprung up in the 80’s with the proliferation of arcade games, and the mass movement of computers into people’s homes.
While the book is not specifically written for computer junkies, it is far more interesting for the hackers (or at least want-to-be hackers) out there. Somebody without a passionate interest in computers or programming would probably get a little board with the level of detail.
However, for those like me who work the field, it is a fascinating story of some eccentric people that literally shaped the computing world as we know it today. While there is a strong focus on the development of Apple, and the gaming world for the Apple (at least in the second half), there is very little mention of the IBM/Microsoft route, and the development of applications and games for the so-called PC world. This almost reflects the modern Apple/PC divide.
While at times I find the book little verbose, it is nonetheless a fascinating story. The edition I read was a 25’th anniversary edition of the book, which was originally published in 1985, a testimony to the longevity of the book. Well worth reading.
Thanks to the folks at O’Reilly for the review copy.

Lauren is nearly done with her first skein of Lima for her ribbed scarf. Although she may feel it’s slowing going, it’s coming out beautifully and that’s the important thing.
Shirley’s poncho is progressing nicely in the Lang Mosaico (I forgot what the pattern is).
Linda was chugging along on her Patterned Kimono Jacket. Unortunately, her stitch count was off – she added a few stitches somewhere along the line and that threw off the pattern. We had to rip back a few rows and now she’s back on track. I think the slip stitch pattern looks really interesting.
Donna joined us today. She’s come back to knitting and her goal is to knit a sampler blanket. In the interim, she’s learning different stitches using the perpetual calendar.
Today she learned out to knit Continental and also a basic lace stitch. Well done!
Diane was working on a Comfy Hooded Scarf, she was off a couple of stitches and that threw HER pattern off. She had ripped it out 3 times already. All 200 plus stitches. She was a little on the edge, so I ripped back and found her stitches and did the first lace row to make sure it was coming out right. No pictures today. I couldn’t find the pattern to link off of Ravelry.
Lois was joining in the round on her new hat, only to discover that she was on a 24″ versus 16″ needle. That pretty much stopped her in her tracks.
Sunaina and Lauren are going to have a mutual color intervention the next time they pick out a project. For Lauren, it’s to step away from the neutral colors. For Sunaina, it’s to pick a yarn in any color but red. I want to be there for that.

Last week we reported on a major crash involving a YouTuber and his Tesla Model S Plaid. The stripped-out sedan was in the running to one day be the fastest of its kind before a major accident at the end of a long straightaway totaled it. Now, the owner is back with an update on what happened and why he wasn’t wearing any safety gear.
The YouTuber is Cheyenne Lord, the man behind the channel Chillin with Chet, and his latest video focused on the accident in question. After hitting 170 mph on a closed racetrack the upgraded brakes on his Tesla Model S Plaid failed and he ended up sliding into a tire wall. He escaped but not without significant injury.
In this new update, he details those injuries including broken ribs, a broken knee cap, a fractured tibia, and a torn ACL. Despite what that long and surely painful list entails, Lord thinks it would’ve been hard to escape with much less injury than he did considering the exact circumstances of the crash.
For example, he says that because his left arm was positioned high above his torso as he tried to steer out of the turn it exposed his ribs but that a head-on collision with the wall could’ve been much worse. In fact, he thinks that even if his arm had been down, his neck and head might have taken even more damage as his positioning at the time of the crash helped to protect those vital areas.
As for what happened, Lord fully blames the crash on the DOT 3 brake fluid that was still in the system at the time of the incident. What we didn’t know from the last episode is that Lord and his team had bled the brakes and refilled what was lost with a proper race-spec brake fluid. What they failed to do was to fully flush the system of the OEM DOT 3 and as Lord puts it, when that fluid boiled over, he lost braking power.
He fully admits that he should’ve been wearing a helmet but doesn’t stop there saying that he should’ve had a complete safety suit including a HANS device to protect the forces that were exerted on his neck and head during the incident. At this point he’s glad that he made it out alive and hopes to salvage some parts of the car to build some sort of MadMax-style EV.


Após período turbulento, e já definitivamente resolvido, afinal, nada melhor do que afrontar, o TBTCI é assim tal qual seu criador.....
É meus caros, a Franca definitivamente esta fervendo, Dead Horse One é um grande exemplo e agora o TBTCI joga na cara de vocês Hoboken Division, Marie e Mathieu fazem um mix doente de garage blues moderno, com influência nitida no caso de Marie de Jack White, já por outro lado Stones, BJM, Stooges, VU dão as caras na contribuicão de Mathieu para a criacão das sujas mezzo baladas, mezzo pauladas do Hoboken Division, e o ep é grudento pra cacete, não tem como não ficar no repeat um bom tempo, e passa-se esse tempo e lá vamos nós voltar no Hoboken Division, sem contar na beleza de Marie que é um caso a parte.
Altamente recomendado pelo TBTCI e claro, entrevista elucidando o HD,
E o fuzz permanece integro e barulhento.
***** Interview with Hoboken Division *****
Q. When did Hoboken Division starts, tell us about the history...
We started the Hoboken project in the begining of 2011. We met a few weeks before, went for a beer and talked about music… We realised we have the exact same idea of how we want to develop a musical project, and the same tastes and influences (almost!).
We started working on some cover to learn to know each other, made one show and started composing. In our first gig, we used real drums such as bass drums and bass tom, but we quickly turned to drumboxes and sampler to have the abilities to mix real drums sounds and old school drumboxes. The mix between them are a part of our creation process.
Q: Who are your influences?
Marie : I come from the jazz world, and listened a lot of classic jazz singers : Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James… Aside of this, I really do love bands such as The White Stripes, The Dead Weather (well, basically everything that involves Jack White), also The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Lykke Li.... Since I started Hoboken, I fell in love with the kind of blues Mathieu use to listen, RL Burnside and Seasick Steve for example. Mathieu: there's a lot! I started music trying to do Smashing Pumpkins and Stone Roses stuffs on the guitar. And soon after I come to the early rythm and blues and blues of Canned Heat, John Mayall and especially the Rolling Stones that drove me to Brian Jonestown Massacre as to the old school bluesmen such as Mississippi Fred McDowell or Skip James. Spacemen 3 /Spectrum and The Velvet Underground are also two main influences on me, and the use of drone. It's the kind of stuff RL Burnside and Kimbrough use for their hypnotic sounds. Of course, I don't always look into the past, but artists such as Mark Sandman (Morphine, Treat Her Right) and others that I told earlier made me come to listen BRMC, Black Angels, Death In Vegas... And I share a lot of influences with Marie such as the Detroit Scene (The Stooges, White Stripes) or Nina Simone, Cat Power, Janis Joplin (humm horns section...).
Q. Made a list of 5 albuns of all time…
Marie: Hard one ! I’d say : Janis Joplin’s Pearl / Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ Show your bones / The Dead Weather’s Sea of Cowards / Cat Power’s The Greatest / Jack White's Blunderbuss
Mathieu: Humm... It almost change everyday depending the mood, but I would say: The Velvet Underground - Loaded, Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street, Iggy Pop - The Idiot, The Stooges - Raw Power (Bowie mix), Brian Jonestown Massacre - Give it Back
Q. How do you fell playing alive?
Live music is essential ! We can’t imagine making music only in studio.
We personnaly expect music to move us, to make us feel strong and true emotions. The worst things are those calculated shows, where everything’s planned. We want to hear voices that breaks, and we wanna see sweat. That’s also what we want to give when playing live.It's always a kind of free time to forget everything and to be free to do what you want, we appreciate it when the audience feel that kind of things!
Q. How do you describe Hoboken Division sounds?
I really hope it’s like we want it to be : very raw, instinctive, sensual and sincere. If the audience could feel just a little bit closer to the juke joints mood, we succeed. We are going from sultry vocals to a blast of overdriven and fuzzy sounds!
Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs
Usually, Mathieu comes with a good guitare line. We listen to it, see if it inspire us, and then work on it to make a structure. Then come the lyrics, almost always inspired by the music. We work together on that too.
For the recording, we use to make the first takes in Mathieu’s home studio where we rehearse. It gives a more « intimate », and live mood to the music. For the parts that need specific treatments, we work in a studio with a sound engineer, specially for the drums, to which we give a special treatment.
Q. Which new bands do you recommended?
Triggerfinger , an amazing belgian rock’n’roll band (not new, but huge in live !).
A great band for their music and for their independent approach of music is Feeling Of Love (Space rock from Metz in France) and another band from France, The Liminanas who mix Gainsbourg and garage music.
Friends from our town that you need to listen too : Dirty Work of the Soul Brother, a drum/organ noise band, really heavy !
Q: Which bands you love to made a cover version?
We’ve already made covers of a lot of band we love, the most interesting were RL Burnside’s ‘Let my Baby Ride’, Yeah yeah Yeah’s ‘Honeybear’…and generally all the bands which are more numerous than us : we then need to capture the essence of the track to be able to cover it, just the two of us. That’s a very good exercise !
Nighclubbing of Iggy Pop would be great to cover too. We'd like to envisage using the guitar for the piano part and harmonica for the guitar solo.
Q: What´s the plans for future....
We want to keep on playing live, the most we can, in bigger stages, in festivals.. keep on spreading our music everywhere. We will also tour out of France, like in belgium, Germany, Netherlands, and hopefully in USA next year ?And we would like to tour with bands from others countries with the same aesthetic. The community called the Psychedelic Undeground Generation recense a lot of them and we plan to exchange some shows.
We also planned an album release in the fall of this year, and we will spend a lot of time to provide great songs between garage blues and eventually psych. It will be normally a vinyl edition.
Q: Any parting words?
Thank you for listening, we’re always thrilled to see that our music is going far away ! Today, thanks to Internet, we have this possibility, and it’s amazing to share what we love with people everywhere.
Brazil rules ! Keep the blues and rock’n’roll music Alive!
Thanks Mathieu & Marie!!!


The Cyclops is a very heavy tank buster from the Tank Foundry.
|Very Heavy Tank Buster
|Movement Speed (elmo/s)
|Turn Rate (deg/s)
|Vision Radius (elmo)
The Cyclops is the heaviest tank on the field. Its Tankbuster Cannon smashes lesser tanks into oblivion, and can shake walls down, allowing it to spearhead assaults against terraformed fortifications. Its preferred target is other heavy units, enemies are slowed significantly upon hit, making escape all but impossible. However, it turns like a tub of water, its short range makes it easy prey for massed raiders, advanced skirmishers or air attacks.
Tactics and Strategy
If you need a tank to go first into the breach, this is it. It can soak up plenty of damage and can deal plenty of damage in return. A charge made up of purely Cyclopses can only be stopped by the heaviest defences, other tanks, and Strider forces.
Airplane Plant bombers are a good counter to these. They can evade the Tankbuster Cannon fire and deliver their payload with relative ease, especially with Cyclops's inability to dodge the Raven's glide bomb.
The Nimbus gunship can also fight well against Cyclopses - they're too slow to evade the gunfire or close in on the distant gunship.

Android 5.1.1 & Android M
It looks like the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 will feature one of two operating systems. Either the Android 5.1.1 update that Samsung's rolling out right now or Android M, the new operating system that Google's planning to push out as early as August.
Android 5.1.1 is the most stable version of Lollipop yet and Android M is focused on improving performance and Android's code. Both are extremely exciting, extremely important updates and that's key for prospective Galaxy Note 5 buyers.


Eddy County Detention Center gets new security system for jail employees
A new electronic locker system for Eddy County Detention Center personnel should be installed in the next six weeks, Warden Billy Massingill said.
Tuesday, Eddy County’s Board of County Commissioners accepted a bid award from Genesis Resource of Gilbert, Arizona to install the new $69,105 system, said Eddy County Finance Director Roberta Smith.
Commissioners approved a solicitation for bids in late April and the bids were due May 14, read an agenda item from Tuesday’s meeting.

Smith said the Phoenix area company was the only one who submitted a bid.
“We did make sure they were responsive and so we do make the recommendation to award to Genesis,” she said.
Smith said the new system will allow detention center employees to place their personnel belongings in a safe location.
Massingill said each locker has space for car keys, wallets and cell phones.
He said employees aren’t allowed to bring their personal keys into the jail.
“So, you have to keep them somewhere. This is people processing their stuff from outside and coming into the beginning of the jail and coming into work,” Massingill said.
He said personal medications are allowed into the jail.
“Let’s say you have to have a pill at eight o’clock at night, you would have the ability to put it up there and store it and take your break at eight o’clock and take that pill and not bring it in if you didn’t want to,” Massingill said.
He said the new system should keep people’s personal items secured and its automated.
“It gives us the ability to go back and retrack past uses and past assignment to that box. If they needed to know who had box 32 three days ago, I could tell you that through the software,” Massingill said.
Mike Smith can be reached at 575-628-5546 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.org or @ArgusMichae on Twitter.
