Fundraiser – "GIVING FOR THE LOVE OF FOOD"
Could you work with no food in your stomach? Or send you child to school with no food?

Mother's Day: gather the flock.
40 people took Mum out for a timeless day out to Tarndie to celebrate Mother's Day at the Homestead recently, where they delighted in all things sheep, with beautiful food and fibre, and a tipple of cider to match!
Set in the 1860s Apple Store they all enjoyed:
- 3 course lunch by Birregurra's own Sorella Foods featuring Lamb Roast, and the coolest 1970′s Dessert Trolley going.
- Music by Off the Grid – "an infused mixture of instrumental grunge and delightful lyrical bliss"
- Cider Bar – ciders from around the world and around the corner. Cash bar.
- Glass of sparkling on arrival
- Mini-workshops – felt, spin, knit – using Tarndie's bespoke wools.

When a person has his natal Mercury in Aries, the sign will grant a big part of its attributes to everything that Mercury represents in his chart. As Mercury is generally governing our intellect and communication, Aries energy will make the native's expression quite fiery and dynamic.
Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, and has the planet Mars as its ruling celestial body. Aries is also the natural ruler of the first house, which rules our ego. This will make Aries Mercury people promote their ego through their speech, and sometimes even force themselves and their ideas on others. The hot temperaments of Mars make the mind function quickly or even hastily. A person with their Mercury in Aries tends to speak before thinking, and does not like being somehow restricted concerning what he has to say. The native with such a placement may have a loud voice, and his verbal or written expression just cannot pass unnoticed. The energy of Aries may make him quarrel a lot, and frequently raise his tone of voice. Such people may like to give orders to others, and their voices usually are of the military stereotype. They can be blunt and abrupt, but at the same time laconic in what they speak.
In the sign of Aries, Mercury is in peregrine condition. Peregrine is a rather neutral condition, where a celestial body does not function very potently (as it does when in domicile or in exaltation), nor is very weak (as it does when in detriment or fall). Yet, we should not forget that Aries is rather dry and fiery, making Mercury rather impulsive, aggressive and hasty in its reactions. Nevertheless, the raw Martian energy can be beneficial if assisted by other planetary positions, and definitely makes Mercury very active. More information about the Mercury's potency while being received in the signs can be read in the article about Mercury's Essential Dignities.
We should note that Mercury needs less than a month to move to the next sign, and is the quickest moving planet, as it is located very close to the Sun. Also, it cannot be more than one sign away from the Sun and has three times per year a period of retrograde motion, where it moves backwards for approximately 20 days in the natal chart. Mercury is impersonated by the ancient Greek god Hermes, who was the messenger of the gods and protector of commerce. The planet governs intellect and trade, data and communication, while also transportation. In addition, the darker traits of Mercury include rulership of lies, swindling and theft, which definitely are an archetypical part of commerce also. Mercury is a hermaphrodite planet, with a balance between its masculine and feminine side. For this reason, it is rather well-received in most signs, as it can adapt quite easily to any possible surroundings.
Natal Mercury in Aries is ideal for people that are involved in occupations that require alertness of mind and body, such as athletes, trainers, the military, firemen and other similar types. It can grant leadership abilities, as other people tend to submit to the native's spoken orders. This aspect is perfect for someone who needs to shout or speak some orders out loud in order to establish good teamwork. It can also be very helpful for people who organize masses, especially in dictating them what to do. People with such a placement will simply love events where they can shout, such as sports games in stadiums, concerts and more. This is a quite frequent natal placement for sports fanatics, who like aggressive slogans and songs. This is a great way to express this violent Martian energy, and it is wonderful if they just use it as a way to discharge aggression. On the other hand, this placement includes the danger of creating people who indulge in hate speech and extreme ideologies, joining military-style or political organizations and use unhealthy ways of violent expression.
A positive trait of Mercury in Aries is honest communication. The native with such a placement usually responds quickly and without processing his thoughts, which leads to saying exactly what he thinks. Of course, this is not always accepted by other people, and may lead to misunderstandings. In addition, nothing can guarantee that the native's personal opinion is an obsolete truth. Yet, in case someone wants a clear opinion, coming straight from one's subconscious, then an Aries Mercury individual is the right person to ask.
This fiery Mercury makes the natives enjoy winning arguments, and will not hesitate to enter intellectual competitions. We could say that a Natal Mercury in Aries is perfect for rappers, as it involves quick speech, which can include rather aggressive subjects, even connected to criminality and violence. A person with this placement will prefer to decide quickly, even if the outcome is not what they would have expected. Yet, they simply cannot stay patient; they prefer to move to the next steps. Of course, making many mistakes can bring a special type of wisdom, especially as the native matures. This, in turn, can become a real blessing, as they eventually may make right decisions without spending a lot of time or staying in dilemmas.
Natal Mercury in Aries can make the native a multi-tasker, yet this will also take some time to evolve into a positive trait. During their young ages, this placement will mostly manifest as a chaotic whirlpool of unfinished tasks, erratic patterns of jumping from one project to another, while also quite a lot of irritation. As youngsters, they could have problems in school; teachers were probably considering them as hyper-energetic and even rebellious. Yet, a transit by Saturn or Pluto can stabilize this tendency and teach the native how to use his impulsive Mercury in a more organized way. Such a transit can be a difficult one, but he will definitely learn a lot and make the best out of his abilities.
Another very interesting power that this natal placement grants is the ability to understand mechanisms and how they work. People with Mercury in Aries can become good engineers, especially concerning practical issues – such as fixing motors and other machinery. In addition, they can also understand well how weapons function and can excel in repairing them, using them, or even creating them.
When a native's Mercury is in Aries, it will make him a huge enthusiast for new projects. He likes pioneering ideas and feels rather excited about starting something new. Boredom is one of his biggest enemies, and so he will constantly seek something fresh to do. This can, of course, become a problem when he gets bored with an unfinished project, as it starts feeling as a burden.
If you need a motivator, then an Aries Mercury person is exactly what you search for. These people have an overabundance of energy, which they are willing to pass to whoever they consider as their trainee. It is probably the best aspect that a gym trainer can have, as it may really empower people that he trains. His voice and words become that extra push that one needs to complete his physical goals and not give up.
When a woman has this placement in her natal chart, her mind tends to operate as a man's one. She may have been a tomboy in her young years, preferring to hang out with boys than girls. Thus, she has developed a masculine way of thought, making her more robust and less emotional. One of the things she will mostly enjoy in her life is winning arguments against men, and she usually obtains some sort of respect from men that no other women might get.
When an Aries Mercury is well aspected in a natal chart, the native can indeed excel in the life area that the sign of Aries rules. This powerful combination grants an abundance of energy, making the native tireless in his efforts. In addition, good aspects guarantee an active and pioneering mind even when the native becomes of old age. On the contrary, bad aspects to Mercury can bring quite a lot of disturbance and a rather nervous nature. Also, when the darker traits of Mercury are awakened by difficult natal aspects, the person may have a mischievous side. We should not forget that god Hermes and Mercury rule liars, thieves and all types of semi-legal or illegal activity also.
Each planets have a different effect on you, depending on which house and sign they reside in.

I still have some work to do on my Minotaur's head, body, etc but I wanted to go ahead an attach him to a base to get an overall idea on how the sculpture is going to look. Adding the base is a pretty easy task with wax since there really is no need for a support system (armature) for it to be able to hold up the sculpture. Also, another huge advantage for using wax is that I was able to create wax cast from some of my other skull sculptures. This allowed me to add a few of my already previously sculpted skulls to the base verse having to spend a lot of time sculpting each individual piece. I have so many projects going on right now shortcuts like the wax cast really help me move the piece along. I'm also able to sculpt the pieces together in a way in which they look unique, so the sculpture is not "cheapened" by this process. Read the rest of this entry »
Minotaur Base
I sculpted a bust of a Minotaur a few years back and although I still like a good percentage of the design, there are a few areas that really bug me. Most of the problems that I have with this sculpture are with the hands, Minotaur's face, the hair along the back and the horns. I rushed completing this piece and as a result the hands and horns ended up not being my best quality of work. I have also been working hard trying to improve my skills over the years so an older sculpt is always subject to a very critical eye. Read the rest of this entry »

Work is beginning shortly on a new hospice building in Glasgow. A good friend shared this link with me today and knew how much it would mean to me; Glasgow, my home town and its new hospice, created with patients and their families in mind from the very beginning.
Right from the start of my nursing training, caring for patients who were terminally ill, along with their family /carers was a passion for me. I know some people may find that unusual however for me nursing was always about giving patients quality and dignity in life and in death.
As a student nurse 30 years ago, the Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice in Glasgow was in its infancy. Today it receives over 1,000 new patient referrals a year and it provides patient care through Inpatient, Day Services, Clinical Nurse Specialist Community team and input to Acute Hospital teams. In addition it provides support, help and advice to families and carers,allowing them to help their loved make informed decision about where they want to die. Some patients want to be at home,others prefer to be in a hospice with their nearest and dearest beside them.There is no one size fits all or right or wrong when it comes to making the decision about where we want to die,assuming we are in the position to have that choice.
By taking patients and their wishes into account in the design of Glasgow's new hospice, I hope that more patients can approach those final months, weeks and hours of life with the dignity, quality of life and peace we would all wish for our loved ones. I know from personal experience what a difference that can make.
Patient centricity at its very best in my book.

It is hard to trace the Maslenitsa' origins because of the lack of information.
What is known now is that this festival appeared during the time of polytheism and there was a tradition to burn doll - a figure of Maslenitsa that symbolised disposal of sorrow and misfortune. Also, the celebration included such amusements as sleigh ride, taking a snow town and fist fighting.
Go back to nowadays where Maslenitsa is still alive. This year Maslenitsa lasts from February 20th to February 26th. Celebrating this event people see off winter and meet spring. This festival lasts 7 days each of them has its own name, the meaning of which coincide to what everyone should do during this day. As a matter of fact, people just have fun, spend time with their family, participating in different entertainments. In local parks and museum-reserves are restored indicative games for such festival, including a performance of funny songs. Such joyful way of celebration has a connection with popular belief: the more fun you have, the more prosperity you will get.
As well there is one typical dish for Maslenitsa it is "blini". There are a lot of different recipes to cook this plate, using water, milk or kefir. Filling of blini can be various as well from meet to honey.

1 review for Jeff Kaiser / Andrew Pask: The Choir Boys (PFMCD024)
Louis Lopez
THE CHOIR BOYS (pfMENTUM 24) features trumpeter JEFF KAISER with multi-instrumentalist ANDREW PASK, who employs clarinet, bass clarinet, soprano sax, alto sax, tenor sax, bass, and pennywhistle in a collage of electronic and acoustic sounds that reveal an interesting musical adventure. It's a spiritual journey that runs far and wide. The artists who contribute to the unique character of the pfMENTUM label are searching. They're looking for new and different ways to demonstrate the full extent of their creative powers. Noise and programmed electronics combine with musical tones on this album by two experimenters in the field. Pask brings a muscular approach to his woodwind instruments, while Kaiser prefers to surround the performance arena with mystic colors and hypnotic drones. The airy tone of Pask's clarinet flirts with Kaiser's tightly muted trumpet in a whirlwind of ideas. Later, his fluid bass clarinet runs up and down in cascades that never end. Pask's saxophones introduce threads of Jazz history to the session, while Kaiser's open horns reveal virtuosic technique. Snippets of melody dance about with animated motion, as the two artists return again and again to a theme of spirituality. While the album's cover art depicts scenes from the church, the duo's music (Wheeling Rebus/ Dim Effigies/ Carbon Icon/ The Variability of Stammering Arrows/ Blue Air Habit/ Tumbling Abstention/ Reliquaries. 73:48. Oct. 16-17, 2004, Los Feliz, CA) moves far beyond the walls of that hallowed institution. Science Fiction and deep philosophic studies carry a large part of its connotation. You can feel the spirit of the session moving you toward some kind of target light at the end of a tunnel. While much of the album's textural matter appears dark and dramatic, Kaiser and Pask leave plenty of room for uplifting interpretations. Free music begets free interpretation. Kaiser and Pask, both highly creative artists, have succeeded in opening doors for continued study of their musical product.
Jim Santella, Cadence, May 2005
This work is a violent yoking together of diverse traditions. With woodwinds and horns, Kaiser and Pask negotiate their way through a chamber of crackles, squeals and raw noise, offsetting rigorous compositional schemata with cogently placed pockets of improvisation.
At first, the sound is orchestral in its well-turned intonation and clarity, but then Kaiser provokes a telling counterpoint through the craggy confrontation of mutilated trumpet and saxophone that pockmarks "Dim Effigies". The piece has a dark, clanking momentum, rich in traces of Xenakis and the sourer moments of Morton Feldman's orchestrations.
Kaiser and Pask attack their instruments with relish, working up a real head of psychedelic steam and achieving a plateau of whirling dervish ecstasy. After the fog lifts, bass clarinet, trumpet and saxophone pit themselves against the abrasive atmosphere of the piece, plunging deep below the surface of the atonal patterns and emerging with rich, melodic ideas of their own. All of this denotes a wonderfully disciplined and cohesive recording that accumulates considerable architectural impact as it progresses through its seventy-three minutes.
In addition to their loose-limbed propulsive force, there's a wealth of textural detail in their unobtrusive use of electronics, while the ever present electro-acoustic burr of scraping, rustling instrumentation lends the whole a deliciously organic appeal. Each musician listens and responds naturally; pieces never feel unfinished and flow into one another, making the effort seamless and concise, but never terse. This duo finds pleasure in the sound and shape of skewed identities, and their rhythmic combinations ooze generously form these pieces. Their focused symbiosis of breath and circuitry strives toward the deep fusion of instrumental resources that collaborators like Supersilent occasionally accomplish.
Meanwhile, "The Vulnerability of Stammering Arrows" is a creepy froth of industrial grinding, buzzes and rasping flugelhorn that mutate into a soundscape of overlapping drones and looping tones. Simultaneously wound up and precise, the nearly unrecognizable, sustained notes of a trumpet are interspersed with brief interludes of silence. The unfolding feels improvised, but the resultant piece has layered depth and strange sonorities that suggest careful arrangement and calculated effect. Woodwinds are shrouded in booming feedback-like resonance, timbres suggesting electronics and the audible beating of clustered overtones.
Throughout, Kaiser and Pask engage in the notion of a dialectical unity of opposites: Kaiser crafts open-ended textures and drones while Pask brings firm forms by way of his robust and decisive playing, and the two opposites cue each other in an ever-ongoing project. Such an issue also works to imbue the proceedings with the presence of absence, of a separation that must be maintained in each engagement in order that something might be disclosed. That being said, as perhaps evidenced by the generally melancholy disposition of the textures, there remains a desire to overcome this tension and risk. With their continued choice to not merely sustain, but also surpass, themselves into surprising modulations of sound and structure, this pair seems to side with laceration, and has crafted an enthralling album as a result.
Max Schaefer, June 2005, http://lostatsea.net/
Horns, woodwinds and real time processing can go a long way if manipulated by inventive and inquisitive musicians. Leaving well behaved transgressions within delineated contours of judgement and irony, Pask and Kaiser draw an alternative way to multi-dimensional explorations of airy territories that – even considering the scarcity of instruments – maintain an oblique orchestral flavour which is the record's very strength. Both artists wear their remarkable technique without a whiff of megalomania, questioning their directions every minute, leaving precious thinking room to each other and emanating contrapuntal intelligence over the course of the whole work. And if hints of irreverence appear, they are promptly wrestled by a unanimous connection to bittersweet melancholies and independency statements that a sapient effect treatment transforms into architectures of extravagant lucid dreams.
Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes, May 2005 touchingextremes.org
Alien electronics of the most dense, textural and sometimes frightening kind — that's what LA improv scenesters Kaiser and Pask offer on these seven mysterious excursions in the wonders of pure sound. Interestingly enough, these icy, veiled sound sculptures, created with the aid of a varied array of wind instruments including quarter-tone trumpet, flugelhorn, clarinet, assorted saxophones and bass penny whistle, were recorded live in the studio with no overdubbing or pre-recorded samples involved. There's some serious processing action applied on the fly, though — not as post-production retouching gloss but as an integral part of the execution itself, using filters, FX pedals, echo and reverb units and whatnot in order to enhance the alienating nature of the timbres they can elicit from their traditional instrumentation. What the duo accomplishes through these means is so rich, multilayered and versatile that it's no wonder their compositions take so long (the shortest track clocks in at 5:47) to unfold and develop into monstrous astro-polyhedral jams. The fact that Pask is also a distinguished computer expert who collaborates with software companies probably explains the luxury of having such a complex and futuristic digital rig at their disposal. Opener "Wheeling Rebus" illustrates the gradual transformation of their subtle reeds and horns' long, pulseless tones into a thick wall of processed noise, machine droneology and rambling sonic debris that brings forth fascination and menace all at once. Similar procedures constitute the highlights of the jazzier "Carbon Icon", where frantic mutantrupet soloing explodes joyfully into robotic scales and a solemn hymn-like sci-fi panoramic, propelling the listener from mid-sixties free jazz anti-stylings into an improbable future of post-apocalyptic datanoise, where human breath (ultimately the recording's undisputed unsung hero) conquers acoustic space with metallic patterns. The fierce, demonic blowing on "Dim Effigie" recalls such shamanistic icons of destructive, scary new jazz virtuosity as Peter Brötzmann: screaming lava, desperate coils of squalling, Escher-esque horns lock and send rippling, labyrinthine frequencies with almost Heavy Metal brutality. Free jazz's cerebral mathematic excesses, the microtonal intricacies liberated by British Improv (the futuristic sounds of legendary pioneering outfits like AMM and Musica Elettronica Viva certainly come to mind, at least in spirit), and the glossy digital feel of '80s and '90s King Crimson's adventures are among the album's main reference points found. "The Variability Of Stammering Arrows" and "Blue Air Habit", with a combined timing of 32 minutes, establish the album's central statement: finding a way through the exuberant counterpoints and deft sound manipulations will be an excruciating task but all the more rewarding. Just to think that these unsettling timbral dramas were executed/exorcized/conjured in only two days is disconcerting enough: you'd feel as if you'd been transported outside time, space and linearity. We may not know whether androids dream of electric sheep, but they will surely groove to The Choir Boys.
— Marco Rivera, http://www.splendidezine.com/
Baignant individuellement dans des sphères musicales aux frontières insaisissables, le trompettiste Jeff Kaiser et le clarinettiste Andrew Pask décidèrent récemment d'affronter ensemble leurs hésitations stylistiques touchant au jazz, à la musique expérimentale bruitiste, et aux postures improvisées.
Débarrassés des complexes, on oppose aux évolutions des instruments à vent l'intervention de programmations électroniques, sobres ou à saturations. Moins de musique que de laboratoire, les instruments testent la résistance de leurs propres matériaux, jugeant de l'épaisseur des souffles (Wheeling Rebus) ou de la réaction des tubes (Dim Effigies).
Plus loin, Kaiser va chercher à connaître les intentions d'un Pask jonglant avec des saxophones ténor et soprano, une clarinette et une clarinette basse. Les phrases se croisent, se heurtent ou s'entendent, toujours portées par les flux. De fines expériences de traitements sonores (Blue Air Habit) laissent leur place à des duels efficaces à devenir instants de grâce (Tumbling Abstention). Là, on élabore des discours pseudo mélodiques, en n'oubliant pas de s'éloigner encore, s'il est possible, du commun ressassé.
Si les décision électroniques – loin d'être inédites et parfois même ronflantes (The Variability Of Stammering Arrows) – peuvent altérer les propos de Jeff Kaiser et Andrew Pask, ils s'en sortent sans véritable peine grâce à un savoir-faire indéniable gonflé de fougue dévastatrice. Au final, The Choir Boys est un alliage précieux et un album envoûtant.
Grisli, http://www.infratunes.com/
Sound sojourners Jeff Kaiser and Andrew Pask create unique sonic landscape on The Choir Boys, utilizing both the instrumental expertise for which each is known, as well as tapping their broader ambitions with live processing. The music ranges from ambient electronic, to industrial Stockhausen, with plenty of hard blowing along the way.
Pask begins with his bass penny whistle, processed while he plays. The swirling and smearing goes from a panpipes sound to impending storm. With the whistle put aside, low rumbling machines dominate. Clarinet rises from the electric shower, and participates as one sound among many. "Dim Effigies" begins with a sound like dental work gone terribly wrong. An elaboration on Japanese noise music, a startling metallic drone creates the backdrop for Pask's blistering alto improv. After a solo muse, rich oily electronic sound wavers slightly, with Pask's calming bleep which becomes looped and distorted.
Vocal clarinet opens "Carbon Icon," with Kaiser's muted trumpet giving rapid chase. Small electronic flashes mar the monolithic drone. Pask again weaves clarinet through the burbling background. Kaiser, processed almost beyond recognition, sets "The Variability of Stammering Arrows" in motion. His muted tones circulate through the speakers with distorted echoes. Pask's clarinet then feeds the altering software more tones. Kaiser puts his horn through its paces with loops and distortions coming back at him. Kaiser, with Pask on soprano, play out.
On "Blue Air Habit" Pask's tenor plays off instant reworkings of his own phrases, triggering otherworldly responses. Interdimensional drones with altered sax ruminations end it. A slightly modified duo, "Tumbling Abstention" takes Kaiser on some lip shredding passages that bounce back. "Reliquaries" features an uncluttered improvised duet with clarinet and trumpet.
After releasing the large and complex Alchemical Mass, Kaiser demonstrates in his collaboration with Pask his ability to swing from stars in a duet setting as well.

The Choir Boys (pfMentum 024) Featuring Jeff Kaiser on quarter-tone trumpet, flugel & live processing, Andrew Pask on clarinets, soprano, alto & tenor saxes and more processing. Jeff has a fine double quartet disc out on Nine Winds and now runs his own pfMentum Label. This spacious duo offering was recorded live in the studio with no overdubs, although both horn players do quite a bit of processing. Wind sounds are mutated and echoed beyond normal recognition. Mysterious, alien, floating, sonic manipulations slowly weave through the fog and are panned and moving through the stereo spectrum in waves. Sounding like distant whales or birds, slowly turning into electronic shadows and breath-filled spirits. On "Dim Effegies" both horns erupt into a thick layer of angry tones, noise triggered trumpet and squealing sax and even more noise surrounding. Cautious muted trumpet and somber bass clarinet inhabit "Carbon Icon", until the quietly bizarre electronics sounds come in and the cosmic drones take over, reminding me of that early space/rock/psych FM staple "Space Hymn" by Lothar & The Hand People. It is often difficult to tell who is playing what, since there is often more processed than regular horn sounds, yet it remains fascinating throughout. This is closer to space/rock/prog electronics than to anything else, so for those who can still appreciate the better moments of space music, this is definitely for you.

On this project Kaiser uses trumpet, quarter-tone trumpet, and flugelhorn along with live processing as his tools. Collaborating with Mr. Pask who plays clarinet, bass clarinet, and soprano, alto, and tenor saxes with bass penny whistle, they turn out a strange experimental brew of music that has a mystic feel. The 'choir boys" don't sing vocally but they do let their instruments have free reign to make a [sometimes] joyful noise.
This album has some of the longest tracks I've heard in recent memory. There's three tunes that run almost for ten minutes each–one is over 15 minutes, and the longest runs for 17:31! That cut, "Blue Air Habit" offers some creative sounds, tones, and musical notes. Sometimes the sounds are pulled…maybe stretched out, from the instruments–drawing every last drop from each note. The mix of natural sounds and the [electronic] processing (at times) compliments the overall feel but sometimes I found it to be a bit too 'clashing.' It's a marathon of a work and you have to make the time to listen to this one.
The music on the album ranges from sublime to explosive, as in cut 2 "Dim Effigies." Is it a scene from PEANUTS-Charlie Brown or is it a musical sword-fight? The musical wails, riffs, bursts, and tones along with some electronic beds and such display some amazing 'horn' work. This is one of those 9 minute numbers and it is something to hear. "Carbon Icon" is a short six-and-half minutes and the sense is much less frenzied and more subtle. Almost a break as compared to the previous track.
One magical effort is "The Variability of Stammering Arrows." It starts off slow but builds to what is a vast vista for the ears and of the mind. Clearly it has many 'sounds' mostly nuanced and clever. The thing is that it takes time to really get into the gist of the song. Some may like the 'electronics,' others might prefer to do without them. In my opinion, the sense is of a DR. WHO episode–at least that was what came to mind. Possibly even bits of some Star Wars-sounding clips.
" Tumbling Abstention" (5:47) was clear experimentalism yet it featured some fine playing. At times the sounds tend towards the abstract but still they are clever and creative–even mischievous. This project closes with "Reliquaries" which captures the theme of choirs, old 'saints' and statues, and the sense of mystery. Early on, one sound feels like a Tibetan chant; other sounds continue some serious as well as playful tones. Maybe in places the structure is disjointed but that is part of the avant garde nature of these approaches.
An interesting CD for fans of creative instrumental sounds.

Jeff Kaiser and Andrew Pask play a range of wind instruments on The Choir Boys (CD024) including trumpet, flugelhorn, clarinets, saxophones and whistle, recorded live in the studio with no overdubs. What makes this different to other improv-winds, however, is that both also participate in live processing. Reminiscent a little of Frippertronics, this allows them to echo, loop, stretch, process through various filters on the go to create a much more varied and dynamic effect. There are times when long low rumbling drones accompany them, or backwards sounds, computer burbling and slippery vinyl-like scratching, or loud industrial noise walls of sounds. The effects are used variably across the album – less in the final elegiac Reliquaries with lovely long tones, or as an assault of noise in Dim effigies. Looped percussives in Blue air habit over an ambient/industrial base of tones, or the mysterious ambiences of Wheeling rebus. Anyway, throughout the processing adds a fascinating dimension, taking this into an exciting electronic improv area. Perhaps over-processed at times – you can sometimes lose the skilful and intricate playing that forms the basis of their works, but that's a different album. The analogue sounds haven't disappeared, merely been augmented. A very nice one.

Auf den ersten Blick könnte man The Choir Boys (pfMENTUM 024) für ein Bläserduo halten, eine Begegnung des Trompeten- & Vierteltontrompetenklangs von JEFF KAISER mit den Sounds der Klarinette & Bassklarinette, der Soprano-, Alto- & Tenorsaxophons von ANDREW PASK. Der Clue verbirgt sich jedoch im Stichwort Live Processing. Statt Improinteraktionen in akribisch angenuckelten akustischen Klangfarben, rauscht ein Pfingststurm überirdischer und begeisterter Elektronenwolken aus den Boxen. Die beiden Chorknaben stoßen erst nur mit der Coverikonographie die Imagination in christliche Gefilde. Die einzelnen Titel abstrahieren dann schon von solchen Assoziationen: 'Wheeling Rebus', 'Dim Effigies', 'The Variability of Stammering Arrows', 'Tumbling Abstention'. Aber dann auch wieder 'Reliquaries' und sind das nicht doch alles mystische Termini? Abgesehen davon, dass ich mit The Choir Boys einen, von Robert Aldrich verfilmten, hard-boiled Polizeikrimi von Joseph Wambaugh verbinde, scheint mir hier der Versuch eines Detournements vorzuliegen. Der mystischen Union des von Pfeilen durchbohrten, entflammten Herzens mit den Spirits from above wird ein musikinduziertes Äquivalent unterschoben. Kaiser hat nicht umsonst mit seinem Ockodektet bei der Uraufführung der Alchemical Mass ministriert. Andrew Pask, der aus Neuseeland stammt, hat neben seinem Klarinettenstudium tatsächlich in einem Chor für Frühe Musik gesungen, bevor er gut sechs Jahre in Hong Kong als Jazzsaxophonist verbrachte und anschließend nach L.A. übersiedelte. Ohne den suggestiven Überbau taucht man in die etwa von Evan Parker mit Lawrence Casserly und Joel Ryan inszenierte musikalische Alchemie, in die rauschenden Klanglandschaften dröhnender und brodelnder Anderwelten. Wenn eine oder beide der abenteuersuchenden Instrumentalstimmen unverfremdet, ohne elektronischen Raumanzug in diese Zonen eintauchen, dann gelingt das nur, weil sie sich diesen Zonen anverwandeln und sich durchlässig machen für Klänge, die andere Quellen haben als Zungen, Holz und Metall. Vielleicht ist es dann dieses anthropofugale Moment, das den puren Trompeten- & Klarinettenclash von 'Reliquaries' so erhaben wirken lässt. Ein Meisterwerk elektro-akustischer Osmose.
[At first sight one could regard The Choir Boys (pfMENTUM 024) as a Blaeserduo, a meeting of the trumpet & quarterly clay/tone trumpet sound of JEFF EMPEROR with the sounds of the clarinet & bass clarinet, the Soprano -, Alto & tenor saxophone of ANDREW PASK. The Clue hides itself however in the keyword Live processing. Instead of Improinteraktionen in with the utmost care angenuckelten acoustic tone qualities, a Pfingststurm of celestial and inspired electron clouds from the boxes rushes. The two choir boys push only only with the Coverikonographie the imagination into Christian Gefilde. The individual titles abstract then already from such associations: ' Wheeling Rebus ', ' Dim Effigies ', ' The Variability OF master ring Arrows ', ' Tumbling renunciation '. But then also again ' Reliquaries ' and are that not nevertheless all mystische terms? Refrained of it that I with The Choir Boys, from Robert Aldrich filmed one, hard boiled police crime film from Joseph Wambaugh connects, seems for me the attempt of a Detournements to be present here. The mystischen union, of the inflamed heart with the Spirits, perforated by arrows, from above becomes an music-induced equivalent put underneath. Emperor did not ministriert in vain with his Ockodektet during the premiere of the Alchemical measure. Andrew Pask, which originates from New Zealand, sang actual apart from his clarinet study in a choir for early music, before he spent well six years in Hong Kong as jazz saxophonist and afterwards to L.A. moved. Without the suggestiven cover dips one into for instance from Evan the Parker with Lawrence Casserly and Joel Ryan produced musical Alchemie, into the rushing sound landscapes of roaring and bubbling other worlds. If or both of the adventure-looking for instrument valley voices unverfremdet, without electronic space suit into these zones dive, then succeeds only, because they make themselves permeable these zones anverwandeln and for sounds, which have other sources than tongues, wood and metal. Perhaps it is then this anthropofugale moment, which lets the pure trumpet & Klarinettenclash of ' Reliquaries ' work so raised. A masterpiece of electroacoustic osmose.]
Rigo Ditmann, Bad Alchemy 46
Jeff Kaiser and Andrew Pask perform in this album a series of compositions between Jazz, New Music and experimentation, with some electronic textures that give way to some imaginative samples of Dark Ambient. There are some passages entirely devoted to experimentation with sounds. In this work, the wind instruments have a remarkable role, and it is perhaps here where Kaiser & Pask's skills are most outstanding.
DOMINIQUE CHEVANT, http://www.amazings.com/reviews2005.html
Kaiser takes to trumpet and flugelhorn, and Pask plays winds (clarinets, saxophones and a whistle). They combine in that world where I most often find Kaiser: The one he creates in my mind. These breathy improvisations would be great for a Halloween party (well, except for the ones processed to the hilt), and they're stellar for wandering off in search of your next great idea.

Music plays an important part of life at Harthill Primary School. As well as weekly music sessions, we have weekly Music Appreciation assemblies, and encourage children to take part in community singing events.
Music is taught in all classes as part of the Early Years or National Curriculum entitlement. It is taught by either the class teacher, or by Mrs. Thompson (music co-ordinator). Our children learn to play instruments including the glockenspiel and percussion. In addition, Music Apps on the iPad are also used for learning songs and notation. They explore how music is put together whilst learning key terms such as tempo, dynamics and instrumentation.
Throughout the year, there will be performances from professional musicians as well as children from Wales High School.
Recently we held our first ever Harthill Hullabaloo, where children who have peripatetic music sessions (brass, piano or woodwind) or recorder club attendees, performed to an audience of family members. It was a fantastic show and will be repeated!

I visited the Murray County Probate Court last week and came away with nine copies of marriage records. I went in with a pedigree chart highlighting direct ancestors who were married (or who I thought may have been married) in Murray County. I had marriage dates for many of them, so my goal was to get documentation, but I also found some dates that I didn't already have. I also found records for some secondary lines as I was looking through the marriage books.
F. R. Kendrick and Vadah Whitner, married 23 Jul 1922
F. T. Kindrick and Lizzie West, married 25 Oct 1917 (found date!)
James Butler and Maud Whitner, married 08 Feb 1906
James Hemphill and Alice Roberts, married 25 Dec 1897
James Y. Hemphill and Mary E. McEntire, married 10 Sep 1867
James Y. Hemphill and Rhoda J. McEntire, married 18 Aug 1859
Martin L. Roberts and Rosa E. E. Ellis, married 28 Jan 1872
Elijah M. Ellis and Elizabeth M. Tucker, married 21 Mar 1852
George Harrison and Bulah Whitener, married 08 Jan 1905
I'll be scanning these records and uploading copies in the near future.

2014 draftees Shooting guards
do you agree with this ranking by CBS sports?
1 Dante Exum Australia - SG 6-5
2 Gary Harris Michigan State Soph. SG 6-4 210
3 Mario Hezonja Croatia - SG 6-7 195
4 Aaron Harrison Kentucky Fr. SG 6-6 218
5 Zach LaVine UCLA Fr. SG 6-5 180
6 Spencer Dinwiddie Colorado Jr. SG 6-6 200
7 P.J. Hairston North Carolina Jr. SG 6-6 220
8 Nik Stauskas Michigan Soph. SG 6-6 205
I agree with Gary Harris but i think Zach Laving should be next i dont know anything about Mario Hezonja though any thoughts? I think Stauskas is a bit underrated as well.
Re: 2014 draftees Shooting guards
Re: 2014 draftees Shooting guards
It's tricky because if Exum is a SG, then you can make the case Marcus Smart is a SG.
Harris is a really nice player. You know he's been well schooled. He's been knocked for being a bit undersized, but he may have the ball handling to do some combo work too.
I don't know as much about Hezonja as I'd like. I know his shooting percentages are good, and he's got a prototype frame, and just from clips seems plenty athletic. But I'd like to see him in a game or two, because I have no feel for him.
I've been really disappointed in both Harrisons.
I personally wouldn't touch PJ Hairston until it was just too good a value pick. Probably not until the second round where I had some leverage as a franchise to try to reign him in. I know kids will be kids. I hate throwing people under the bus for a little pot. But repeatedly in cars rented by known fellons with drugs and guns. Weather you are or aren't bothered by the actions, it still shows little regard for his future. I wouldn't want him on my roster with a million bucks in his pocket. He's not that talented that he's worth the gamble.
I agree Stauskus seems underrated. His handle looks a ton better, and he may be able to play some combo stuff.

I don't see this anywhere, but how does one use the symbols in fonts
that don't fall in the normal ASCII character set? I see the sample
images show a number of characters not on my keyboard and one or two of
them would be cool to use in a WPS. How do I get to these characters?
I've tried using Alt+### but that's not getting my much more than junk.
The one's I'm after fall below ASCII 32 and I'm using the 6x10 font.

I always admired my grandfather's courage. He had fought in the war on what we nowadays think of as the wrong side, but he had never been a believer in the cause. Sometimes a rifle is pressed in your hand and your choice is either to fire and worry about being shot from the front, or not to fire and be sure that you'll be shot from behind.
He was young when he was drafted, barely 16. Before he left he gave his first kiss and a promise to a girl. She waited five years until the end of the war, surviving on just five or six letters that she kept as treasure.
The war ended but even the defeat was celebrated. Not openly, but in the hearts and eyes of the people. People never wage war, it is politicians that wage war. No soldier that ever stood in the line of a rifle believes that war is heroic, only those divorced from reality, those that sit in tidy offices, those dream of war.
Soldiers came home with thin bodies and bandaged limbs. They hugged their wives and women before they fell onto beds and relived the front in dreams that made them toss and turn and wake up from their own screams.
His girl watched with tears in her eyes while her sister and mother each welcomed their men home. She heard the men scream at night and each scream lodged a stone in her throat. She prayed that the man she had kissed did not have to scream and then she prayed that the man she had kissed was alive enough to scream. Then she prayed for forgiveness for her selfishness.

Are you ready for a pair, a couple, a duo, for Frick & Frack? They were part of a set that included the 2 dressers and a desk. I really wanted the desk for Dear Daughter #2.

What's Your iPod?
photo credit: scottwills via photopin cc
People I'm close to know I'm a huge fan of the late Steve Jobs. I recently watched the movie about his life, Jobs, starring Ashton Kutcher in the lead role.
The biopic begins with a remarkable scene, in which Jobs delivers one of his epic speeches in 2001 at an Apple Town Hall meeting. In his textbook style, Jobs tells the mesmerized audience about a tool for the heart. "When you can touch someone's heart," Kutcher says, gracefully capturing Jobs' melodic voice, "that's limitless." He then reaches into his bluejeans' pocket and produces an iPod. The scene is a perfect beginning to a very entertaining story about a truly visionary man.
As the scene shifted, flashing back to Jobs' college days in the late 1970s, I considered the impact that the iPod and all devices beginning with "i" have had on the world. Jobs and Apple have touched my heart and the hearts of hundreds of millions of people, with revolutionary technologies.
Everyone can't be Steve Jobs. We can't all create the next life-altering device or write beautiful music or find the cure for AIDS. Still, can't every single person contribute something unique? Don't we all have our own special brand of "i"?
Consider what you might contribute — whether it's the next great novel or a simple smile you give to a child in need.
What's your iPod? Be sure to touch someone's heart with it today.

Another month down. I'm a little closer to catching up – only one month behind now! Here's my March 2017 monthly summary following on from my March income fund update. It's almost like a balance sheet statement, but different!
My Score for March
|Living Expenses Budget
|Security Ratio
|Wet Worth
|Work Freedom Day
|Cash Reserves
|4.3 months
|Emergency Fund
|8.9 months
Living Expenses Budget
This is my monthly budget for living expenses and it includes both essential (e.g. groceries, mortgage, insurance), and non-essential (e.g. music, travel) purchases. $3,970 is the amount from my Budget 17.0.
The amount is more of a spending goal than a strict budget as I over/underspend each month. The budget is calculated from an estimated yearly spend divided by 12, so it's normal for some months to be over or under the target amount.
Security Ratio
This is the percentage of my monthly living expenses budget that my Income Fund pays for. This metric is no longer tied to the actual dividend income per month. Instead I'm automatically withdrawing a flat monthly amount of cash from my Income Fund that's fueled by dividend payments. The current amount is $700 a month which is 17.6% of my current $3,900 monthly budget.
I'll change this amount once or twice a year as dividend income increases. $700 a month is $8,400 a year which is about 84% of the total dividends I'm expecting.
Living Expenses %
The percentage of net income that's spent on living expenses. Lower numbers are better here.
This month's 42.5% is almost a record result – it crushes last month's 53.2% due to the large investment income. But December 2016 still had a better result of 40.9% due to lower living expenses and higher income. I save or invest any income that I don't spend on Living Expenses so my effective "Savings Rate" this month was 57.5%.
Like the Security Ratio, any change in this number is caused by a change in either income or budget. However this metric takes total income into account including actual investment income.
The average percentage value should decrease over time because salary and investment income should increase faster than living expenses as I try to limit lifestyle creep and personal inflation.
The Living Expenses % metric and the Work Freedom Day metric (see below) are both good incentives to avoid increasing the budget since both numbers are impacted by a higher budget.
Living Expense History
Last March I spent 49.2% of my income on expenses, so I've improved 6.7% points compared to last year. Although last year's budget was $70 less at $3,900, this year's result is helped by a higher paycheck and income. In other words, my budget increased at a lower rate (1.8%) than my salary + investment income.
The chart above shows the trend in my Living Expenses % since the start of 2014. For the first part of 2014 I was paying two mortgages. In June 2014, I introduced Budget 1.0 after selling my first house and I made some minor tweaks in Budget 2.0 from October onwards. In January 2015 I started Budget 3.0 which I updated to Budget 3.5 in July.
Budget 4.0 started in 2016 with an increase to the monthly amount which I held constant in the mid-year review of Budget 4.5.
This year I've adopted Budget 17.0 which increased monthly spending to $3,970.
Savings %
The percentage of net income spent on Savings (excluding Investments). Savings represents cash plus a long-term holding in Vanguard's Wellington fund (VWELX).
As part of my revised budget and savings plans, I'm putting aside $1,310 every month for mid and long term goals (any large expense or purchase due a year or more in the future). The savings percentage was 17.7% of my month's income compared to 19.8% last year.
Last month's saving rate was 18.6%; the percentage decreased this month because of higher total income.
Investment %
The percentage of net income that I invest.
All spare money left over after savings and living expenses are paid goes into my Income Fund. This month it was 39.8% of my income.
I've written about my March portfolio income and gains in a separate post, so I won't repeat all of that here again.
Wet Worth $
My liquid assets minus all debt (excluding retirement and non-liquid assets).
My Wet Worth increased $2,889 in March from $219,955 to $222,844. This is another all-time high. There's a more detailed breakdown of this amount further below.
Work Freedom Day
The day in the year that my dividend income could pay for the rest of the year's expenses.
My current estimate of my Work Freedom Day is now 11 days earlier based on higher income and now falls on 20 October 2017 for this year! It's nice to think that I only need to work 10 months of the year before investment income takes over.
Note that based on my $3,970 budget, one Work Freedom Day requires about $132 of dividend income which in turn requires about $4,400 of capital. Financial Independence then requires about $1,584,000 at a 3% yield.
Cash Reserves
This is a new metric I'm reporting to keep a closer eye on the account balance of my Living Expense account. I'm tracking the number of months of monthly expenses currently in my Living Expense account. Cash stored in other accounts such as Savings and Investment is not included here.
I spent a total of $3,421.91 in March which means I underspent my budget by $548.09. I added another $210 from Savings as I'm paying down some Medical expenses.
This means that the amount of monthly Living Expenses that I hold in cash has increased this month. The account balance at the end of March is now at 4.3 months of living expenses, compared to 3.5 months in January.
Emergency Fund
After my recent Emergency Fund shuffle, I'm now holding $35,368.28 in VBIIX and my former money market account is now closed. I didn't convert all of the money in Bonds; some went into VHDYX instead so I'm left with 8.9 months of reserves (at $3,970 a month) if I really need it.
My EF was originally dedicated solely to covering loss of employment; I use Savings to pay for large unexpected expenses. I'm comfortable with the risk of intermediate term bonds when judging the chance and impacts of losing my job. Especially so since our household has two incomes and I'm only considering my income, which pays almost all our expenses, in this blog.
Wet Worth detail
I'm showing my Wet Worth in this post – this is the cost of my liquid assets minus debt, I exclude assets and retirement accounts from this number. I prefer this over Net Worth since the equity in large assets (house, car) and retirement funds is hard to get at and not always predictable. I find this is a more honest view of where I'm at on my journey.
The change in Wet Worth is caused by
|Cash for living expenses increased due to some extra cash from an insurance payout.
|Debt increased $4,370 this month, due to higher credit card charges.
|Another fairly usual month for Savings.
|Emergency Fund
|I no longer have a dedicated Emergency Fund – this account is now closed. Proceeds went into the Income Fund.
|Income Fund
|My Income Fund market value increased in March. See my earlier post for details. All of the Emergency Fund cash went here.
|Total change in Wet Worth
March 2017 Summary
So, yet another month where my Wet Worth reached a new record high. It'd be nice if I could write that every month! This result means that I could pay off all my debts tomorrow and still have $222,844 remaining. Of course, that's not the plan since Mr. Taxman would want some money too.
Keeping track of my Wet Worth lets me consider myself to be debt-free. I chose not to pay off my mortgage because I can get better returns in the market and I prefer more liquidity. That said, I've started paying an extra $300 towards the mortgage and if I keep that up, will be done in 11 years' time.
I'll be increasing my income fund withdrawals from $700 to $800 starting April. I also plan to cap the cash I keep at three times the withdrawal amount ($2,400) which will allow one quarter to be paid without any cash-flow drama.
This month wasn't all good news however as a bad storm damaged the house and we now have to get a new roof for a total of about $8,000. The insurance company paid about $2,500 but with a deductible of $2,500 we're on the hook for about $5,000. The increased cash this month includes the insurance payment. Fortunately we don't have to pay until the repairs are complete. On the plus side, the roof will have a 30 year warranty and it wasn't as expensive as I feared.
But despite that, it was a pretty good month and things are all headed in the right direction so I'm happy about that!

I like how you take something like pollution and turn it into art, also this short clip raises awareness about how our filthy our society is... but there is hope with a small minority of good people out there that are, that will create a ripple effect on society to keep the planet beautiful.

Now I am back ashore, some more info on the big doggie.
It was caught jigging on a Shimano 325g butterfly jig by angler Bill Busch aboard Bite Me using a Zenaq jig rod and Shimano Trinidad spooled with Power Pro 80lb spectra.
Fight time 45 minutes.
It was actually one of four dogtooth tuna we caught that afternoon, (3 others released) the morning being spent popper casting for GTs(we released 16)
The fish weighed in at 90.60 Kg on our Certified Scales (Matava Resort being an IGFA Weighstation) and is a pending new Fiji National All-Tackle Record.
Well done Bill ! Our biggest doggie so far. Just 9.9Kg off the M-36 IGFA World Record and 15kg off the IGFA All-Tackle World Record…
