Capcom Entertainment, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that 1942: Joint Strike is now available for download on PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. 1942: Joint Strike is rated Teen by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board (ESRB) and is available for 800 Microsoft Points or $9.99 on PlayStation Network.
1942: Joint Strike takes inspiration and influence from the '80s 194X series of World War II-themed vertical arcade shooters. The art, sound and gameplay of the new game take cues from the original 194X games, but will stand out as its own unique entry. Gameplay will resemble the classic top down, vertical action that gamers expect, but enhanced with High Definition 3D graphics. Set in a World War II-themed locale, stages, vehicles and weapons have the look and feel of WWII with some stylistic differences.
The world in which 1942 takes place is not our own and the events that transpire are not historically accurate, nor are they intended to be. This is an alternate world where history and technology developed along their own paths. As a result, players will jump into the cockpits of WWII-era aircraft to take on huge waves of incoming enemy fire, dodging explosions and missiles while challenging huge bosses at the end of each stage. New co-op "Joint Strike attacks" combine the powers of two aircrafts into one devastating barrage.
The new 1942: Joint Strike features 2-player online cooperative play. Graphics and music have been similarly updated by Backbone Entertainment, the developers of this latest entry into the 194X series. There's also a brand new score for the game created by Norihiko Hibino, an international composer well-known for his work creating music for the Metal Gear series.

The Blue Series Continuum was launched on the theory that throwing together groups of mismatched musicians would have the Odd Coupling effect of producing great works of art. It's a hit-or-miss endeavor, sometimes resulting in an unexpected alchemy, and other times sounding more like an Elton/Slim Shady burlesque Grammy duet. In this effort, Paul D. Miller, a.k.a. DJ Spooky, a.k.a. That Subliminal Kid, is partnered with Matthew Shipp (on keys), William Parker (upright bass), Guillermo E. Brown (percussion) and Joe McPhee (trumpet and sax).
Miller's Renaissance Man persona allows him to disappear into Optometry, allowing himself to be absorbed into the collaborating artists and influencing their styles from within. While his electronic influence is the most omnipresent throughout the album, it's also the most subtle — a desirable quality when working within a group of five. More than anything, Optometry is a jazz album with electronic elements to tweak its beat, and while it flirts with a darker, seedier mood on several tracks, overall it retains a vibrant, New York City in-scene edge.
Samples abound, but identifying what is pastiche and what's original is basically impossible — the liner notes offer no hint, an omission undoubtedly intentional, knowing Spooky. But the album's most titillating offer comes with its guest stars, an addition that fits in perfectly with this type of freeform experimentation, and the crowd has been culled from the avant-garde's finest. Billy Martin, of Medeski, Martin and Wood, guides the title track through eleven minutes of dueling instrumentation, vying with Daniel Bernard Roumain on violin for the forefront. DBR, who has performed with the likes of gay choreographer Bill T. Jones, Dizzy Gillespie, 2 Live Crew and Ray Charles, is one of Optometry's many to-be-revealed secrets. You stumble upon him in the credits after hearing his soulful, swaying string work, only to discover that he's only one many venerated non-celebrity musicians from the NYC art crowd to appear here.
Napoleon of IsWhat?! presides over a discordant cluster of jazz beats and rhythms with an expertly delivered spoken word, as does Carl Hancock Rux, who lays down his own subdued version of a monotone rap over the slithery horn blowing of McPhee.
The whole package is wrapped up and delivered by Spooky's ubiquitous presence. He lends a shift in rhythm here, a drum beat there, seemingly following the lead of the others rather than taking the reigns of the flying umbrella himself. The album does fall into the realm of severe esotericism at times — how about "Absentia Absentia (Dialectical Triagulation III) featuring High Priest of Anti-Pop Consortium" for a title? — but even when you don't understand it, that doesn't mean you don't enjoy it. The mystery of it is exactly what makes it enjoyable. It's beyond you, which is something rarely heard in an "electronic" disc filled with transparent trance or deep house. A good example is the John Cage diatribe "Anarchy" reprinted in the liners, a tribute to Buckminster Fuller. Don't know who he is? That's the point. You're supposed to find out. It's one more part of the package that you forces you to put in a little extra effort on your own part, and that is Optometry, and Spooky himself, in a nutshell.

This Is Ultimate Dance
J Records
Remember Ultimate Dance Party? Arista Records produced the popular, short-lived album series of Top 40 hits at a time when the music industry was cracking down on producers of fast-selling, non-sanctioned dance compilations of top recording artists (think MasterBeat). Arista helped satiate a disgruntled dance music market, while at the same time showcasing the diva talent at its beck and call. And it seemed to work. At least in those few pre-Napster years, before music shareware got the industry all in a tizzy. Now, after knocking out Napster and severely cutting back on the production of CD singles, the industry is fumbling around to reverse diminishing profits.
Do we care to see Ultimate Dance Party revived? We last heard from it in 1999 — before Madonna's Music, before Thunderpuss thundered, and just as Cher and Britney began rolling the dance floor. It's a crowded market these days, with nearly every bold-name DJ and remixer producing his own product and several small dance labels successfully established enough to be serious competition. Undeterred is Arista Records founder Clive Davis, responsible for Whitney Houston, Deborah Cox, Sarah MacLachlan, Dido and others. Through his new label, J Records, formed in the past year, Davis has renewed, and improved, the Ultimate Dance concept, bringing back the same team of producers, who now call the franchise This Is Ultimate Dance.
A big failing of This Is Ultimate Dance is that This Is Ultimately Dated. Half of the songs could have starred on a 2001 edition, and a couple others a 2000 edition. And in nearly every case, Sunshine Anderson isn't the only one who's "Heard It All Before," since most of these remixes have appeared on other compilations. Most, but not all — This Is Ultimate Dance is worth the purchase for the edited Thunderpuss version of Mary J. Blige's "No More Drama," one of the best remixes produced so far this year and one heretofore unavailable (well, officially) in domestic release. Then there's the also-rare and also-classic "Get Ur Freak On" from Virginia's very own Missy Elliott, though SuperChumbo's remix isn't at all as super as Timbaland's raw original.
This Is Ultimate Dance includes one brand-spankin' new song worth mention, from a new Davis discovery, Lamya. Her pleasant voice, slightly rough-edged, is intriguing, and "Never Enough" is a debut that leaves you looking forward to her future. The album also includes Davis's darling, Grammy-winning Alicia Keys. It's hard to understand the hype heaped on this 21-year-old whose vocal chords release by way of her nose and whose vocal stylings keep on fallin' in and out of key, fluttering about like the "Butterflyz" on this track. And though the Ultimate Dance reincarnation almost exclusively focuses on remixes and uptempo tracks — unlike its predecessor's inclusion of nondanceable tracks — it still suffers from a lack of DJ blending. Songs crash into each other, sometimes at deadly speeds, and several of the remixes even cave in on themselves, as they are reduced to a radio-friendly tally of less than five minutes.
J Records seems to have a firmer sense of its target market than Arista ever did, concentrating on true dance marvels and even throwing album release parties at gay clubs or gay-friendly dance parties (in New York, at least). If only D.C. had a dance radio station. If only Napster, even a decent pay version, were available. If only the industry would better tend to us danceheads.
Divas are the bread and butter of the gay clubgoing experience. But sometimes the bread is stale and the butter spoilt, leaving us with nothing but an unsavory mess. To many, Anastacia is a delicious butter croissant. She's extremely popular in Europe, and you couldn't avoid her a year or so ago in gay bars, where her "I'm Outta Love" was on frequent replay. But she's not a fresh pastry and she doesn't sound like butter to these ears. Anastacia's pure caramel, the sticky sweet sugar that's a staple in Twix, which she fervidly sang about in a recent commercial that reduces stereos to a chocolate-y, gooey mess.
Now this Freak of Nature is back with a second album. It is as over-baked as expected with Anastacia. The first song released from the album, "One Day In Your Life," shows her up to her old, gloppy Trix — and it's about the best song on here. It's amazing how someone with such a great voice and all the professional and electronic wizardry at Sony Music at her disposal can fail to show any control over her instrument. She hacks her way through even the sweetest of songs à la Michael Bolton ("You'll Never Walk Alone," "I Dreamed You") using her vibrato inappropriately. And just when she gets going in the overdone, orgiastic singing style that Whitney wrought, she falters by hitting the wrong notes — most notably several times at the end of "One Day"
The production doesn't save her any trouble — how could it, when her producers are responsible for Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey, and even early boy band Color Me Badd? "Paid My Dues" features a pro-forma key change in the final chorus of the song that isn't at all subtle or well-executed. And then there's the matter of her lyrics, some of which she co-wrote. "You call me in the midnight hour with your velvet lies" is just one of many strained constructions, this one from "One DayÂ…" Her duet with R&B star Faith Evans, "Thought I Told You That," adds a hip-hop flair to the album, with considerable success. But musically it sounds eerily like "If I Told You That," Whitney's hit of a few years back, and lyrically and stylistically it's a pale imitation of Whitney's duet with Deborah Cox, "Same Script, Different Cast." Anastacia falls all over herself copying her betters. And even her equals: she cultivates the image of her Epic label mate J-Lo. In every way, she exudes a "notice me, I'm really, really confident; I'm really, really natural" aura that, like J-Lo, is all wet.
From throw-up to throw-away — among DJs who've produced their own dance compilation albums, Julian Marsh is one of the most prolific. He has great potential, with his preference for melodic music and his disco and trance sensibilities. But like his club engagements, his albums never fail to let me down. He doesn't disappoint with his latest Pride. Oh, it starts off swell and ends well, but Marsh devotes most of the album to turning a number of '80s pop songs into tired modern-day dance tracks with unknown coverbands shilling for the original artists. It rarely works, and it doesn't work for any song on Pride. Bring back Erasure, bring back the Thompson Twins, bring back the Righteous Brothers. Okay, so forget that last one. What was Marsh thinking including "Unchained Melody" here anyway? Shut up Righteous Brothers, buck up Marsh, and next time give us something truly worthy of capital P-Pride.
While some beat heads get all George Wallace when it comes to the mongrelization of electronica and rock, it's important to remember that some of the best music has come from genre-crossbreeding (Radiohead, certainly. The Dixie Chicks. Queen. Three waves of ska and Afro-just about anything). The hybrid's got heaps of potential if it's done right. If it's done wrong, you get Dirty Vegas.
Dirty Vegas' stab at guitar/dance beat fusion falls flat because neither their guitar nor their dance is all that interesting. They pile tepid rock chords onto a half-assed house beat and pray for alchemy, but most of the time neither one is strong enough to stand on its own. There are a few tracks that get one half right — "I Should Know" would be decent but for the electronics, ditto "Simple Things Part 2" but for the guitar. But most of the songs miss their target on both ends, floundering somewhere in synthesizer demo mode. Trancey, ambient electronica gets buried under poorly scripted vocals that crush the background rather than melt into it. When the electronics do get their energy up, they're usually too generic to pass muster. It's clear that Dirty Vegas is going for the electro-rock tendencies of the Verve and the Pet Shop Boys, but they come off as sounding like they know a little about dance and a little about rock, but not a whole lot about either.
Not like Jazzanova. God knows what they're going for with their debut In Between, but damn if it isn't intriguing. Six Berliners (three DJs, three producers) bring their German engineering to an effort part jazz, part funk, part et cetera, taking standard jazz rhythms and splicing in breaks, beats and vocals, making the song perfect fare for the swanky club set. They've invited familiar faces to their ultralounge, including the queen of spoken word Ursula Rucker ("Keep Falling") and terminally hip soul junkie Vikter Duplaix of Philadelphia, who's contributions to the DJ Kicks series have nothing short of sonic honey. Duplaix's involvement here is strictly vocal, but the music reflects his own style anyway, making his presence seem natural and his slinking, subtle voice perfect for the downbeat jazz rhythm.
In Between crosses the line into fairly pretentious territory at times, but no more than outfits like D.C.'s Thievery Corporation, for instance. Like them, not only is Jazzanova a good enough outfit to make the haughtiness forgivable, but the overly cool tone would go perfectly with a martini and a boa, given the right environment.
Playgroup's latest release, also a gift to the DJ Kicks collection, tunes down the pretense and offers a heavy-on-the-irony package of fuzzy electro and samples. The alias of Trevor Jackson, Playgroup revels in dark synth and altered vocals, channeling the underground dance of the 1980s. The formula works for half a dozen songs or so, but begins to lose its charm somewhere around the point where Jackson begins sampling such lines as, "Let's get this party started quickly, right!" That's music that doesn't need revival, and an irony we can all do without.

Chicken and Champagne Night/
Proving there's nothing we love more than some great fried chicken and some cold champagne, Red Rooster hosted a full capacity crowd Wednesday night for a fun and boisterous Chicken and Champagne event. An ode to the original Red Rooster's tradition, it was a great showing of the community coming together under one roof, complete with a surprise cake for Marcus and a special Bonicella performance for the birthday boy. Thanks to Mario Rinaldi and the Paul Goerg team for their attempted sabre-ing of a magnum bottle of the bubbly. And in case you missed the Chicken and Waffles, Spicy Chicken Wings, Chicken Nuggets with B.B.Roo Sauce, and Chicken Liver Crostini, stay tuned for our next event which will be held sometime in February. Take a look of some pictures from last night's celebration, complete with amazing jazz tunes from Louis Fouché.

I've got several walls in my home that are killing me. Not literally…though that DOES sound like a good horror story and Halloween IS just around the corner.
No, they're just stumping me….I have no idea what to do with them! One is a terribly long and dark hallway upstairs with no windows of its own. And the other is a huge wall in my little boy's nursery that appears to be slowly, but surely, consuming the two cute little pictures I recently placed in the center.
Both have their own issues and both are driving me crazy.
So I typed "I hate my walls" into my Google search box hoping to glean a little insight into what I should do with my problem walls. That search, of course, didn't really serve up any useful information (except for the fact that there's a website called IHateMyInLaws.com if anybody out there ever needs a space to rant about how your mother-in-law likes to rearrange your furniture when she visits).
After a little more research, I actually came across some really cool blogs about how others have dealt with their "wall issues".
There's this account of how a very creative woman dealt with a long hallway by basically painting her own wallpaper! Yep…with a really thick magic marker! This is a picture of her hallway to the right. How cool does that look?!?
Definitely check her post out as she provides additional photos of her hallway and other cool graphic inspirations if you think do-it-yourself wallpaper is for you.
Then, of course, the solution for a massive wall with nothing on it and too big for regular-sized pictures hit me – Wall Decals!
Take a look at these adorable wall decals from Smiley Walls Art Studio's Etsy shop. They're perfect for a nursery or kid's room and solve the "huge wall" dilemma by providing a something visually interesting that's (in my opinion) not overdone. Dali Decals also has some really cute ones (especially for boys).
And the great thing about most wall decals is that they're removable so if you're renting or don't want to make a long-term commitment…they're perfect. And I like that they're sort of the modern version of wall murals, which were fine but now seem a bit outdated to me.
Do you have any cool, out-of-the-box, wall decorating solutions? We'd love to hear them!

Love-Hate Win8
Windows users have experienced a love-hate relationship for decades. There's plenty of love when it doesn't impede productivity, but faces turn red when the screen turns blue. Happily, things have gone a lot less wrong since Windows 7 came along. But, Windows 8 will bring back some hate, as old guards adjust and new adopt.
For testing, the CRN Test Center worked with the release version of Windows 8 Pro on a Dell XPS 12 convertible laptop and an Intel-based Apple MacBook. When comparing the RTM edition with older versions, testers referred to the Windows 8 Release Preview build 8400. To be fair, there are a number of things to love about Microsoft's "reimagined" Windows and not all are about using it on tablets. So here's a look at what we love and what we hate about Windows 8.

Beth Robinson is 13. She recently met a boy, aged 12, over Xbox Live. Beth lives in Houston and the boy, Dylan, lives in Hodgenville, Kentucky. When Beth's dad didn't like the fact the two were playing games and "chatting" together over the service, she did what any lovestruck 13 year-old girl would do: went a little bananas.
Stealing her brother's car and her mother's ATM card, Beth set off to drive to Dylan's house. Reminder: she's 13. She got as far as Nashville, Tennessee before being stopped by police, who had been alerted to be on the look-out for the teenager.
She's since been reunited with her family in the strangely heart-warming video below. And while there's all sorts of messed up things related to the incident, let's be clear: aside from the stealing and unlicensed driving, nothing sordid went down here. Which makes a pleasant change, since these kind of Xbox romance stories normally involve some degree of skin-crawling.
Let's also not lose sight of the fact the girl managed to make it from Houston to Nashville. Which is 13 hours away. That's one hell of a drive.

PITTSBURGH -- Fourteen environmental groups have asked Pennsylvania Republican Gov. Tom Corbett to reverse a recent change in how official notifications of possible water pollution related to Marcellus Shale natural gas drilling are handled. But state officials say the public still gets the information it needs.
The 14 groups claim the new policy would delay warning the public about pollution related to oil and gas drilling from a procedure known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, which involves blasting chemical-laden water deep into the ground.
Under the new policy, which went into effect Sept. 14, top Department of Environmental Protection administrators in Harrisburg now decide whether residential water users should receive official determination letters, formal notices telling property owners that the agency has found that drilling either did or didn't affect water. In the past, experts in field offices made that decision.
The Delaware Riverkeeper Network, a nonprofit organization that works throughout the Delaware River watershed, is among the environmental groups critical of the policy change related to drilling in the Marcellus Shale, which lies under parts of Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio and West Virginia.
"The DEP geologists and water quality specialists who are uniquely qualified to make water contamination decisions cannot help but be chilled by the knowledge that their superiors will be second-guessing their scientific determinations," the network's leader, Maya van Rossum, said in a statement.
But the DEP said homeowners whose water may have been affected by drilling still get test results immediately.
"We provide homeowners with sample results as we get them and are in continuous communication throughout our investigations. We respond to every complaint we receive and, when warranted, conduct a full investigation," DEP spokesman Kevin Sunday said in an email.
Sunday said it makes sense for senior management to be involved with the separate issue of sending determination letters.
"We stand firmly behind our decision to apprise senior management of what these determination letters contain," he wrote in the email. "It is unreasonable to assert that DEP management should not be aware of these matters, and it would be bad management for them not to be."
The complaints over the issue came from the state Sierra Club chapter, Earthjustice, Clean Water Action, the Pennsylvania Forest Coalition and other groups.
Fracking has made it possible to tap into deep reserves of oil and gas but also has raised concerns about pollution. Large volumes of water, along with sand and hazardous chemicals, are injected deep underground to break rock apart and free the oil and gas.
The energy industry and many federal and state officials say the practice is safe when done properly, but environmental groups and some scientists say there hasn't been enough research about possible pollution.
The Pennsylvania policy change was first reported by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

I started the ball rolling yesterday on Twitter and Facebook with news that I am putting together an anthology under the Small Press Big Mouth Banner.
The theme for the anthology is going to be Fairytales and Folklore. For very selfish reasons, I want to read a fairytale/folklore comic anthology, I love dark, twisted fairytales and I've always read a lot of them. From the Brothers Grimm as a child up to most recently I picked up a
n anthology edited by Angela Carter and I'm enjoying it so much, a rich variety of stories, some familiar but many not. I also really love reading modern or modern twists on fairy tales and the best ones I have read lately are Smoke and Mirrors by Neil Gaiman which is a selection of short stories and a full length novel, Jasmyn by Alex Bell. This basically what has inspired me to try and produce this comic. I have also been really impressed and inspired by the work I have seen produced so far for Bayou Arcana.
I have recieved quite a lot of interest in the anthology already so here are the details: I am planning for the anthology to be roughly 45 pages and I am looking for pitches for 5 page stories, with some room for negotiation. You do not have to pitch as a team, I am happy to pair up artists and writers. If you would like any more information or would like to pitch please feel free to get in touch my email address is email@example.com
EDITED TO ADD A FINANCIAL NOTE: I shall be self publishing this first anthology and funding it myself. I won't ask any writers or artists for contributions to publication (thanks for asking though!) but it does mean I can't afford to pay anyone for their services. My hope is to make enough from sales of this first issue to fund the second.
ANOTHER EDIT: The comic will be in black and white - I missed that out above. Also I am over the moon with the response so far, there seems quite a lot of interest so I am going to have to put a deadline for pitches. This will be the Thursday 12th May. I will not make any firm decisions until that point - although I may contact you for clarification or more information.

Ryan goes dark on local reporters
RENO — In his first eight weeks on the GOP ticket, Paul Ryan blazed his own campaign trail through the living rooms of swing-state voters, sitting for nearly 125 interviews with local television affiliates.
But since the week of the vice presidential debate, Ryan has gone dark on battleground reporters — doing no local television and only a handful of network interviews and syndicated radio shows.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: Final countdown to Election Day)
Ryan's aggressive media schedule was largely concentrated in the swing states critical to the GOP ticket's electoral map. From the day he joined the GOP ticket in August until Oct. 8, the Wisconsin lawmaker sat for nearly 30 interviews in the critical battleground state of Ohio — gifting more interviews than in any other state — and spoke with local reporters 20 times in in Virginia. Over the same time period, Ryan also did 19 interviews with Florida television affiliates and 16 in Iowa, according to a POLITICO analysis.
Ryan kept a similarly aggressive pace on the local radio airwaves, often talking to three to four hosts a day in states like Iowa, Virginia and Ohio. Those too have largely ceased in the campaign's final month.
Ryan's final local TV interview appears to have occurred on Oct. 8. It was the sit-down with a Michigan ABC affiliate in which reporters accused the lawmaker of walking off the set after being faced with some uncomfortable questions. But video of the exchange didn't support that claim — although a Ryan staffer did cover the camera after the interview was over.
Ryan staffers at the time told reporters that the interview had run over its allotted time, and was not truncated.
"The reporter knew he was already well over the allotted time for the interview when he decided to ask a weird question relating gun violence to tax cuts," Ryan spokesman Brendan Buck told POLITICO then. "When you do nearly 200 interviews in a couple months, eventually you're going to see a local reporter embarrass himself."
Ryan aides insist that the abrupt shift in Ryan's media strategy is purely coincidental and not related to the interview. Ryan flew to Florida that night for debate prep.
The abrupt change in Ryan's media strategy also came two weeks before Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock's incendiary comments that when a woman is impregnated during a rape "it's something God intended."
Romney had just cut an ad for Mourdock, and was repeatedly badgered by reporters about whether he regretted it and would take it down. Romney aides has said that Romney "disagrees" with the comment and that it doesn't reflect his views.
Ryan has been repeatedly questioned about the differences between his and Romney's stances on abortion rights. While Romney supports exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother in an abortion ban, Ryan personally does not. He has said that his position and Romney's are "unified."

Hollywood Super Agent Ari Emanuel Mystified That Google Doesn't Just Invent A Magic Stop Piracy Button
from the this-isn't-the-movies,-ari deptFamed Hollywood super agent Ari Emanuel (the model for Jeremy Piven's character in Entourage, and the brother of Chicago mayor/former Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel) doesn't have a particularly good history when it comes to his understanding of how technology and policy will develop. Two years ago, he insisted that he was talking to President Obama about getting a three strikes law in place in the US. Last year, of course, he was excited about new laws like SOPA/PIPA. That was at the AllThingsD conference, in which he chided a reporter at one point by saying that the reporter needs a history lesson and "the business of the movie business is DVDs."
This year, at the very same conference, he's changed his tune, but not his attitude or ignorance of technology. This year, he told the crowd that "the DVD business is gone" and everything was about TV, TV, TV. Except, once again, he appears to be ignorant or (more likely) in complete denial:
Emanuel: Cord-cutting's not happening.Some of this appears to be just plain old wishful thinking and some of it is ignorance. The actual numbers show that cord cutting is very, very real. Also, I'm getting pretty sick of the condescending ridiculousness where people insist that either we stick with the old model or all we have left are amateur animal videos (usually cat videos, but Ari went to the dogs). That's not just elitist. It's wrong. There's plenty of quality content that get produced outside of the traditional model, and the amount is growing. And, of course, the "somebody's got to pay for this" argument is a complete tangent. First of all, no, no one has to pay for anything, but more importantly, there are all sorts of interesting business models developing that don't require people paying for a jacked up cable subscription. Second, just because you want someone "to pay" for the content which pays your hefty salary, that has absolutely nothing to do with the reality of cord cutting. It's like the CEO of a horse buggy manufacturer insisting that no one's buying automobiles because "someone's got to pay" for all those horse buggies.
Walt: But cord-never is happening.
Emanuel: I don't think so. I think when people get to a certain age, they pay. Somebody's got to pay for this, or you're not going to get premium content, and I think that's more valuable than "two dogs doing whatever they're doing on a couch."
A little tidbit from history: it was the guy who left the horse & buggy business and went on to found both GM and Chevrolet (despite being fearful of those "dangerous" machines) who ended up being successful. Not the guys who clung to selling horse and buggies.
Emanuel pays some lip service to technology innovation (he even seems to like the idea of crowdfunding), and talks about how involved he is in digital projects. But he still comes at it from the perspective of "how can these new technologies protect my old way of doing business?" And there, apparently, every problem is Google's fault, because they haven't created the magic "stop piracy" button. He repeatedly mentioned Google, and how they had to "stop helping people steal my clients' content." When asked how, he admitted he has no idea. When asked if he wants them to censor search results, he responded:
I don't want them to censor results, but they have a bunch of smart guys there that can figure this stuff out.You see? Magic "stop piracy" button.
Josh Topolsky, from The Verge, apparently challenged him on this point, asking: "Aren't you saying that the road is responsible for the fact that someone drove on it before they robbed my house?" Emanuel didn't like this analogy:
That's a stupid example. Look, Google can filter and does filter for child pornography. They do that already. So stealing is a bad thing, and child pornography is a bad thing.Of course, this once again displays his ignorance. Child porn is easily identifiable by anyone who sees it. There is no "legal" child porn. There is no "authorized" child porn. There is no "fair use" child porn. There is no condition under which that content is legal and there are no legal questions to be answered in filtering it. Copyright is entirely different. You can't just "know" if the content is infringing. As we saw in the Viacom case, companies upload authorized stuff all the time, and it's often impossible to distinguish from unauthorized content. Separately, you can't create an algorithm that detects fair use. Or the public domain. Point being: it's not that easy and it's silly to claim otherwise.
Emanuel, like many people, also seems to have a blindness for how the situation he's in is no different than the situation others have faced. He talks about how the music industry should have embraced Napster when it came along -- but when he's asked about embracing similar platforms for TV, he immediately says that's ridiculous, because "these things cost lots of money." Again, we're in "wishful thinking" land, where because the producers of content do little to keep down costs, old and obsolete business models must stay in place, and new and innovative platforms must be censored.
The comment that really sums up his worldview is when he's asked about changing market behavior, whereby people mutlitask while watching TV. He says:
"I'm okay with a little bit of disruption, and let's see what happens. I dunno. I'm good with it."This is the common viewpoint of the legacy player about to be disrupted in a big, bad way. They always insist that they're okay with disruption -- but in moderation. There are two really funny things about this quote. The first is the idea that disruption comes in bite-sized increments. That's not how it works. Disruption comes in massive waves that are unstoppable. And that leads to the second funny thing: he seems to think that his opinion on disruption and whether or not he's "good with it" matters to whether or not it will actually happen.
The disruption is already underway. And, for now, it looks like Emanuel's still hanging on to his cash-cow horse buggy business, while insisting that the road pavers really need to "do something" about those dangerous "automobile" things.

This almost never happens, but Bob was able to rake and bale (small square bales) the first cutting of alfalfa on a sunny, hot, windy day in May. The hay was down for five days and never got rained on. Usually the first cutting is delayed until June because of frequent rains, gets hit by a storm or two while down, and ends up good for nothing except round bales of poor quality. It could be a fine year for hay.
The garden looks good, too. I spent the weekend hoeing weeds, hilling potatoes, and spreading straw for mulch. We also started to vine the peas and tomatoes. More work to go there.
Bob has a note of caution for anyone who fishes in a farm pond. See the lamb below who got his feet entwined by fishing line. Carry out your trash!
See the fishing line wrapped around his hind legs? Bob spotted it just in time, as it almost cut off circulation.
The fishing line is in the forefront. The lamb was fine after treatment. Please do not leave fishing trash around ponds. Besides livestock, wildlife can be injured.
Our garden has lettuce, kohlrabi, kale, onions, peas, potatoes, squash, asparagus, red raspberries, basil, and tomatoes.
Raking first cutting of alfalfa.

See cognitive complexity theory.
a structured collection of information that acts as a single unit with respect to storage and information processing capacity
claims analysis
An analytic evaluation method involving the identification of scenario features that have significant positive and negative usability consequences.
claims feature
An element of a situation or an interactive system that has positive or negative consequences for people in this or similar situations.
The original version of GOMS created by Card, Moran, and Newell (1980a). The "CMN" was added before "GOMS" when other versions of GOMS began to appear (e.g., CPM-GOMS and NGOMSL), to differentiate the specific representation used by Card, Moran, and Newell from the concepts in GOMS.
cognitive architecture
The fixed structure that realizes a cognitive system. It typically decribes the memories and processors in a cognitive system and how information flows between them. This is in contrast to the knowledge laid on top of an architecture to allow it to perform a task in a particular domain.
cognitive artifact
A manmade or modified tool to support mental activity. Examples include number systems, slide rules, navigational charts, and even language itself. While generally applied to a single individual, within the framework of DCog, a cognitive artifact is also a tool that supports the coordination of information processing between entities within a functional system.
cognitive complexity theory (CCT)
A computational cognitive architecture introduced by Kieras and Polson in the 1980s and used as the basis for NGOMSL. It was realized in a production system. More information can be found in Bovair, Kieras, & Polson, 1988, 1990; Kieras & Polson, 1985.
cognitive dimension
A characteristic of the way information is structured and represented—one that is shared by many notations and interaction languages of different types and, by its interaction with the human cognitive architecture, that has a strong influence on how people use the notation and determines what cognitive strategies can be pursued. Any pair of dimensions can be manipulated independently of each other, although typically a third dimension must be allowed to change (pairwise independence). (More exactly, a cognitive dimension is not solely a characteristic of the notation, but a joint characteristic of the notation and the environment in which the notation is used, whether based on paper and pencil or computer or even based on voice and sound.) Examples such as viscosity, premature commitment, and others are defined in the text. Note that in the cognitive-dimensions framework, dimensions are not evaluative per se, but only in relation to a particular type of activity; for example, viscosity is a problem for modification activities but not for transcription activities. See also cognitive-dimensions framework.
cognitive engineering
A multidisciplinary area of research concerned with the analysis, modeling, design, and evaluation of complex sociotechnical systems. It is sometimes also called cognitive systems engineering.

Oh! Glorious! Music! Lovers! Gather round, snuggle up close, hold hands and rejoice! Rejoice! We are hear to spread the good gospel of outsider music to you. This is the bona fide, authentic, gen-u-ine, 100% real McCoy. The good stuff. And this is just what's been filling up our shelves in May! Ahhh, the wonderment of it all, eh? Read on, brothers & sisters, read on...
Alexander Tucker And Decomposed Orchestra - Grey Onion
Latitudes GMT0:20 LP - £9.00CD - £7.50
Three songs, Twenty-five minutes. Adding additional instrumentation to his alchemical layers of hypnotic strings and voice has helped the already unique Tucker sound move into new directions, as brooding saxophone snakes menacingly through the riff-heavy atmosphere, and the teasing strains of the clarinet amp the spook factor up to maximum.
We have a limited number available on green vinyl. Please state in the order notes which colour you prefer, default shipping is black.
Henry & Glenn Forever
Microcosm Publishing Comic Book - £4.50
Starring super-notorious muscle-bound punk/metal dudes Glenn Danzig and Henry Rollins (with a little help from super-notorious soft-rock dudes Hall and Oates) Henry & Glenn Forever is a love story to end all love stories! The premise of this Cantankerous Titles-released comic is explained at the front of the zine: "Henry and Glenn are very good 'friends.' They are also 'room mates.' Daryl and John live next door. They are satanists." What follows is ultra-metal violence and cryfest diary entries, cringing self-doubt and mega-hilarious emo-meltdowns. Who knew Danzig was such a vulnerable, self-conscious sweety-pie? Who knew Rollins was such a caring spouse? Who knew Hall and Oates were so infernally evil—yet so considerate? Well, illustrating/writing team Igloo Tornado (featuring super-awesome comixdude Tom Neely) did and they kicked down 64 fully-illustrated pages with it. Genius on all fronts. Terrifyingly cute. Cutely terrifying. As the real-life Rollins says, quoted on the back cover, "Has Glenn seen this? Trust me, he would not be impressed."
Melvins - The Bride Screamed Murder
Ipecac Records IPC112 CD - £9.00
Melvins return with the third release featuring Buzz Osborne, Dale Crover and Big Business' Coady Willis and Jared Warren after recently celebrating their twenty-fifth anniversary. Never ones to follow suit or to become predictable, with their brand new album, The Bride Screamed Murder they keep things interesting and rather than put out an album of wall to wall rock bangers they have changed their tune again and opted for a tight mix of highly entertaining call and response jams and more progressive experimental songs. This is one refreshing album, enjoy.
Mike Patton - Mondo Cane
Ipecac Records IPC119 CD - £9.00
Mike Patton (Faith No More, Peeping Tom, Tomahawk) unveils Mondo Cane, his Italian language rock-meets- orchestra hybrid. Recorded at a series of European performances including an outdoor concert in a Northern Italian piazza, this album features traditional Italian pop songs as well as a rendition of Ennio Morricone's "Deep Down." Patton worked with a 30-piece orchestra and choir to create the uniquely new Mondo Cane sound. Patton's body of work continues to evolve and grow with a wide range of bands and solo projects including Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, Fantomas, Tomahawk, Peeping Tom and most recently as a film composer and voice actor.
Title Tracks - Every Little Bit Hurts
Dischord Records DIS163
Title Tracks is John David (Georgie James, Q and Not U). Every Little Bit Hurts was recorded in 2008 and is now released through Dischord on limited edition 7 inch. Only 100 copies available for Europe. On the Title Tracks debut single, Every Little Bit Hurts, John displays an almost scientific approach to song-writing. Bits and pieces and diverse influences culled from such wells as; a holy-grail-stocked record collection; a moonlighting gig as a radio disc jockey; and more than a decade of touring and recording in the US, Europe and beyond, have all served to hone John's musical vocabulary into a powerful and engaging instrument.
Andalusians - Do The Work
Dischord Records DIS162
Andalusians is Basla Andolsun (Beauty Pill, Del Cielo). This limited edition 7 inch also comes with a free download card to access an additional 3 tracks from the same recording session. Only 100 copies available for Europe. Basla is supported live and in the studio by a line-up of regular collaborators including Kristin Forbes and Sammy Ponzar, as well as occasional appearances by David Brown, Chris Farrall (Hoover, The Sorts), Clark Sabine (Statehood) and Chad Molter (Medications, Faraquet).
The Aquarium - Performer
Dischord DIS164
The Aquarium is a duo featuring Jason Hutto (Edie Sedgwick, Motor Cycle Wars) on keyboards and vocals and Laura Harris (Benjy Ferree) on drums. Jason's layering of overdriven electric piano and keyboards creates surprising depth and ample texture for Laura's rollicking back-beats. The Aquarium only plays a handful of shows each year yet have attracted a dedicated following with their hypnotizing instrumentals and frantic vocal compositions. This limited edition 7 inch is the first release since their 2006 full-length on Dischord. Mixed by Brendan Canty (Fugazi) and produced by Benjy Ferree. Only 100 copies available to Europe.
Land of Kush's Egyptian Light Orchestra - Monogamy
Constellation CST66
Double LP - £18.50 CD - £10.00
Monogamy is the second release from Sam Shalabi's Land of Kush project and the follow up to Against The Day. Over 21 musicians contribute to the record, many the same Montreal-based improv, experimental players who performed on Against The Day. Released on CD and deluxe 180g double vinyl. For the Monogamy album, the group has been given it's own sub-moniker as The Egyptian Light Orchestra. The band is a truly hydra-headed beast on this recording; string, brass and woodwinds careen around the drone/backbeat of the major movements, shifting between short melodic punctuations, free excursions, and consolidated unison lines. Dissonant piano, synth and electronics bubble below, above and at the outer limits of the mix.
Harvestman/Minsk/US Christmas - Hawkwind Triad
Neurot Recordings NR72
The Hawkwind Triad album is a fitting tribute to the British band that somehow seems to be simultaneously unheard by the majority of the world's rock listeners, while also standing as one of the most influential psychedelic bands of all time. The Triad is unique; it is an album of covers by three separate artists that essentially flows like an album. Each band - HARVESTMAN (Steve Von Till of NEUROSIS), MINSK, and U.S. CHRISTMAS - has approached these 11 iconic songs with respect, but each have also recognised the need for the songs to be reinterpreted in a new space and time. The result is a full-length psychedelic feast that not only captures the feel of Hawkwind's individual songs, but also has the feel of their classic albums. Even the artwork by Boston artist Thomas Saraceno appropriately provides trippy surrealist scenes fitting to many albums from the 70's.
Horseback - The Invisible Mountain
Aurora Borealis ARO40
The Invisible Mountain is Horseback's second full-length album. Released by Aurora Borealis on limited 180g transparent vinyl as an edition of just 300 with a fold over velum-style sleeve featuring artwork by Russian occult artist Denis Kostromitin, this is a beautiful edition of an incredible record.
HORSEBACK, the brainchild of Jenks Miller, has released two full-length albums since forming in 2007.
The Invisible Mountain spans four tracks of gorgeously warm analogue drone rock that brings to mind the Kraut drift of Amon Duul II and the modern Western cinemascope of Earth while pushing headlong into territories unknown. Miller commented: "Horseback is an ever-evolving project which will explore a variety of sounds and approaches in its lifetime."
Conan - Horseback Battle Hammer
Aurora Borealis ARO41
CONAN are a Caveman Battle Doom trio from the grim North of England. They summon the heavy riff from the ungodly land and crush the skull of the unbeliever with their low end doom assault. Waves of sludge and galloping crust passages overwhelm the unwary. Horseback Battle Hammer is comprised of four long and crushing tracks recorded in mid November 2009 at Wales' mighty Foel Studio (Hawkwind, Electric Wizard, Blue Cheer, Godflesh, Amon Duul). The sound is monolithic, and clearly the band made the very best use of this legendary studio to get remarkable results from their custom made gear for a truly crushing debut release. With artwork by Tony Roberts (Electric Wizard, Unearthly Trance, Cathedral), Conan have set in stone the majesty of their arrival.
Menace Ruine - Union of Irreconcilables
Aurora Borealis ARO42
This is the fourth full length album from Montreal duo Menace Ruine. Released in a CD digipack with fold out poster insert. The double 180g LP will be limited to only 500 worldwide. Entitled Union of Irreconcilables, the album builds on their previous great work, the alchemical collision of black metal, walls of noise, mysticism, martial rhythms, and a medieval affinity for melody leaving the listener with a sense of unforgettable originality. Begun in 2006, Menace Ruine have always followed their own path, combining unusual elements and vocal styles in an effort to capture their unique musical vision.
Twilight - Monument To Time End
Southern Lord LORD113
Twilight is a metal supergroup of grimm proportions: N. Imperial (Krieg, N.I.L.) - Vocals, Blake Judd (Nachtmystium) - Lead & rhythm guitars, backing vocals, Wrest (Leviathan) - Drums, bass, lead & rhythm guitars Stavros Giannopolous (Atlas Moth) - Lead & rhythm guitars, Sanford Parker (Minsk, Buried At Sea) - Mini Moog, FX, Aaron Turner (Isis) - Guitars, Effects and Vocals. Robert Lowe (Lichens, Om) makes a guest appearance on 3 tracks. This is the band's second full-length recording and the follow up to 2005's self-titled debut. Monument To Time End was written collaboratively between all six members of the current line up. Unlike their self-titled debut, the music on Monument To Time End was written collaboratively between the six members of Twilight.
Black Breath - Heavy Breathing
Southern Lord LORD114
We have a VERY limited number of clear vinyl copies of this album!
Heavy Breathing is the brutal and infectious debut full-length from Seattle's Black Breath. Following on the band's incredible incendiary EP Razor To Oblivion, they travelled to Kurt Ballou's (Converge, Trap Them, Disfear) God City Studios, to lay down ten brand new tracks. Taking influence from Swedish black metal while still drawing on the raw punk and hardcore sounds, this debut is one of the most anticipated albums on the underground in years. Formed in the winter of 2005, Black Breath made the move from their native Bellingham to stake a claim as Seattle's heaviest hardcore band. They made the rounds playing tons of shows, four DIY tours up and down the West Coast and the Midwest, and getting onboard gigs with bands as varied as The Accused, Book of Black Earth, Zeke, Nachtmystium and many more.
Trap Them - Filth Rations
Southern Lord LORD115
This is a vinyl-only release special for Southern Lord. All four tracks will only be available on this release. We are beyond excitement to announce that Trap Them will be releasing new, exclusive material through Southern Lord. The four tracks are utterly brutal and murderous. The vinyl is a one sided 12 inch with an etching by Justin Bartlett on the flip side. Engineered by Kurt Ballou at God City Studio.
Goatsnake - Flower Of Disease
Southern Lord LORD116
Re-issue of Goatsnake's long out of print sophomore album. Originally released on the now defunct Man's Ruin Records in 2000. Band members included Pete Stahl (Scream, Wool, Earthlings, Desert Sessions), Greg Anderson (Sunn O))), Thorr's Hammer, Burning Witch, Ascend), Guy Pinhas (Beaver, Obsessed) and Greg Rogers. The album was recorded in two weeks at Grand Master Studios in Hollywood. It was engineered and mixed by Nick Raskulinecz (Danzig, Foo Fighters, Probot, Alice In Chains). The song writing and performance of the band showed an improved and elevated level. Pete Stahl's vocals were especially more intense and melodic than on previous recordings.
Disappears - Lux
Kranky KRANK143
Lux is the debut studio full length from this Chicago quartet after two singles and a limited live album, all self-released by the band.Drawing on a combined reverence for reverb, heavy tremolo, distortion, delay and repetition, Disappears play minimal rock music inspired by krautrock, punk rock, the mid 80's New Zealand scene, and a bit of everything in between. And in their minimalist approach the band finds their real strength, hammering home chord structures that are tried and true and can and do remain fresh in the hands of the right talents such as these. As a wise man once said, "keep it simple stupid".
Recently released or restocked
Ui - Unlike: Remixes Volume 1
Lunamoth M2 60005
Six tracks, 49 minutes. Remixes of material from The 2-Sided EP and Sidelong. Remixes by Sasha Frere-Jones, Tortoise's John McEntire, Change of Heart's Ian Blurton and Canadian tape-maestros David Dacks and Nick Holmes.
Little Annie & Paul Wallfisch - Genderful

Glenn Branca - The Ascension
Fortissimo Records VL008
Re-issue of Glenn Branca's 1981 album The Ascension on 180gm white vinyl in gatefold sleeve.Glenn Branca's The Ascension was one of those rare records that managed to change things. Maybe not right away, but as time has passed, its importance and influence has become more and more clear. Branca's idea was to marry the repetition and process of minimalism with the energy and aesthetic of rock music.
Pelican - What We All Come To Need
Southern Lord LORD110
Fourth album from Pelican and the first time that vocals have ever been used on a Pelican track. Guest appearances from Greg Anderson (Sunn O)))), Aaron Turner (Isis), Allen Epley (Shiner, Life and Times), and Ben Verellen (Helms Alee).

James Webb Space Telescope
Webb Telescope News
Launch: March 30, 2021
Status: In development
Billed as the successor to the famed Hubble Space Telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope (Webb) is the most complex and powerful telescope ever built. Webb will be the foremost space observatory of the next decade, serving thousands of astronomers worldwide. The telescope will be launched on an Ariane 5 rocket from French Guiana in March 2021.
The Webb will use infrared light to study every phase in cosmic history, ranging from the first luminous glows after the Big Bang, to the formation of stellar systems capable of supporting life on planets like Earth, to the evolution of our own Solar System. The science goals for the Webb can be grouped into four themes:
- Search for the earliest stars and galaxies
- Map the evolution of galaxies
- Study the formation of stars and planets in the Universe today
- Search for the potential for life in the Universe.
Positioned 1,5 million km from Earth in the cold darkness of space, the Webb will be able to discover and study objects thousands of times fainter than those seen by current telescopes. Weighing about 6500 kg with a sunshield the size of a tennis court, this enormous space observatory's 6.5-metre primary mirror will be composed of 18 hexagonal panels and will be cooled to an impressive -233 degrees Celsius (40 Kelvin). The telescope will be folded to fit inside its rocket for launch, and will open automatically like a flower once in space.
The James Webb Space Telescope is an international collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency, and the Canadian Space Agency.

If you ask people to describe a genuine sauna, the chances are that their description is more or less identical to a Variant sauna. This range is the epitome of a genuine Finnish traditional sauna, both inside and out.
The basic layout of the Variant sauna is ample and provides you with the opportunity for a variety of different arrangements. The walls, ceiling and heater guard in the Variant saunas are constructed of Spruce. The benches, headrests and backrests are made from easy-care abachi wood as standard. The bench wood is elegantly rounded. High-quality bench design and soft sauna lighting guarantee an aesthetic environment.
The Variant sauna represents the modern Finnish sauna at its best. The benches, as well as the sauna interior, are designed ergonomically and following original Finnish sauna traditions.
Heater Information
The 8kW Vega traditional Finnish sauna heater is an elegant heater that is easy-to-use. The stainless steel outer casing of the heater gives your sauna a modern look. The operating switches are placed ergonomically in the upper part, on the side of the heater, which provides easy operating. Vega is easy to mount on a separate mounting rack. Electrical connections are made from the side of the heater, which makes installation easy.
Vega's structure makes it possible to mount the heater low on the sauna wall. This allows the heat to spread evenly throughout the sauna, ensuring that the lower benches also enjoy plenty of heat.
