Programmer Jack Silver Exits Cumulus Los Angeles Post. The KLOS and KABC program director tells Radio-Info's Tom Taylor that he's leaving the position with "solid numbers" at the classic rock FMer KLOS. And it sounds as though he's ready for his next opportunity as he says, "I've got many miles left on my odometer." KLOS is facing a big change in the fall as one half of the quarter-century old AM drive team of Mark and Brian – Mark Thompson – will retire in August leaving a challenge for the station's next programming team. As for news/talk KABC, Arbitron's May PPM has the station in 22nd place (persons 6+) with a 0.9 share and a cume of 349,500. Bringing KABC back to ratings (and presumably) revenue relevance is considered one of the most formidable challenges in talk radio since the station faces competition in the form of Clear Channel's perennial crosstown juggernaut KFI, whose May PPM numbers put the station in third place with a 4.5 share (persons 6+) and a cume of 1,105,300. There's been no announcement by Cumulus Media about Silver's replacement although industry observers speculate that the program director position will continue to be one person overseeing both outlets just as Silver had been doing and as the company recently instituted at its NYC combo, CHR FMer WPLJ and AM news/talker WABC.
Howard Stern to Be Inducted into Radio Hall of Fame. Time Out Chicago's Robert Feder reports the Radio Hall of Fame steering committee voted to induct the legendary but controversial broadcaster into the Chicago institution at its November 10 ceremonies in the Windy City. As Feder writes, "The most conspicuous and embarrassing omission to the Radio Hall of Fame finally will be corrected this fall when Howard Stern takes his place in the Chicago-based shrine to radio's all-time greats." Chairman Bruce DuMont tells Feder, "There wasn't any great controversy involving Howard's induction because I think everyone has believed for a long time that he deserved to be inducted." Feder says, don't bet on Stern showing up to accept his award as he's been outspoken in condemning the Hall as a "sham" and griped about being passed over four times in the past. Other 2012 inductees include: Gary Burbank, Ron Chapman, Art Laboe, Luther Massingill, Jack Cooper (posthumously), and NPR's "Fresh Air," hosted by Terry Gross.

Wisconsin Man Cited for Threat Against Talk Host Vicki McKenna. It's not unusual for radio talk show hosts to get threats at some point in their careers but this one has an interesting legal twist as the Milwaukee County Sheriff disagrees with the Milwaukee County District Attorney on the charge. According to WTMJ.com, Timothy Demeuse admits to writing about WIBA, Madison-based talk host Vicki McKenna (also heard on Clear Channel's WISN, Milwaukee) via Facebook the following: "Here's your real 'expletive' death threat 'expletive.' Come get me. I don't even own a gun. I can make as many threats as I want. I hope someone kills you. I am going to shoot you in the face and rape your dead corpse." District Attorney John Chisholm cited him with disorderly conduct for the threat but Sheriff David Clarke believes the level of the threat requires more than a "parking ticket." But D.A. Chisholm states, "With Facebook — the difference between posting and sending is significant — it's legally significant." He suggests the state legislature needs to change the law for Demeuse's words to be a greater crime.

LNT GOB underway; Canadian stores will also go
October 20, 2008
,Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. — Customer traffic appeared brisk but not heavy, and sales stronger than normal, but as the chainwide Linens 'n Things going-out-of-business sale got underway this weekend, it appeared many visitors to this store were scoping out offerings and perhaps waiting for heavier discounts to kick in.
The signs screamed 10%-30% off original prices and on several visits over the weekend it appeared roughly one in eight customers carried an LNT purchase upon leaving the store.
In the meantime, Linens yesterday filed for bankruptcy in Canada in order to be able to liquidate its 40 Canadian stores. The company had earlier indicated in U.S. court papers that it intended to liquidate the Canadian subsidiary.
The Canadian stores were profitable and were never taken into bankruptcy when the company filed in the United States. There was hope that they might be sold separately, and they had been offered to several prospective buyers, reportedly including Bed Bath & Beyond very early in the process. But in the end, no one stepped forward to purchase them.
In a prepared statement, interim ceo and chief restructuring officer Michael Gries again blamed a series of external economic and market factors for the liquidation, adding, "This is a very difficult day, especially since our Canadian stores were among the best performing stores."
With total 2007 sales of $2.8 billion, LNT filed a wind-down budget projecting total sales receipts of $828 million over the next 32 weeks. Including the Canadian stores, it will be shuttering 411 units overall in this final phase.

Energy Efficiency Programs
Home Energy Audit
Energy Depot is an integrated suite of online resources designed to answer your energy questions and provide you with the personalized information needed to effectively manage your home's energy use. Customers can use the online program for helpful ways to reduce electric bills.
EcoSmart Choice Program
EcoSmart Choice program is a "green pricing" program offered through American Municipal Power, Inc. (AMP), of which the City of Hudson is a member. All Hudson Public Power (HPP) customers can help to reduce their carbon footprint and provide a cleaner, healthier, and safer energy supply by supporting this renewable energy program.
Where does the renewable energy come from?
This "green pricing" program relies on the use of renewable energy certificates (RECs) to offset customer's electricity usage. The program currently purchases RECs from hydroelectric, wind and landfill gas facilities.
Does the renewable energy come to my house or business?
No, not directly. Fifteen to twenty percent of Hudson's Power Portfolio is from sustainable resources. Participation in the program would increase the percentage.
How much does it cost to participate?
For a minimal cost of $0.007 per kWh, residential customers are able to offset 100% of their electric usage with renewable energy.
Commercial and Industrial customers can offset a portion of their electric usage through the purchase of "blocks" of RECs. Each "block" obtained thought the EcoSmart Choice program is equal to 1000 kWH (1 MWh) and is available for an additional $7.00 per block.
How do I enroll?
HPP customers can enroll through the EcoSmart Choice website.
Fall and Winter Energy Savings Tips
Adjust the Temperature
When you are home and awake, set your thermostat as low as is comfortable. When you are asleep or out of the house, turn your thermostat back 10° to 15° for eight hours and save around 10% a year on your heating and cooling bills.Find and Seal Leak
Seal the air leaks around utility cut-throughs for pipes ("plumbing penetrations"), gaps around chimneys and recessed lights in insulated ceilings, and unfinished spaces behind cupboards and closets.
Add caulk or weatherstripping to seal air leaks around leaky doors and windows.
Lower Your Water Heating Costs
Water heating accounts for about 18% of the energy consumed in your home.Turn down the temperature of your water heater to the warm setting (120°F). You'll not only save energy, you'll avoid scalding your hands.
Take Advantage of Heat from the Sun
Open curtains on your south-facing windows during the day to allow sunlight to naturally heat your home, and close them at night to reduce the chill you may feel from cold windows.
Winter Weather keeping you indoors?
Watch movies more efficiently using a computer or DVD player. Game consoles use up to 24 times the power of DVD players and up to seven times more than Blu-Ray players. Streaming online video through a game console can also use up to 10 times more energy than other devices, according to ENERGY STAR. Don't waste energy inside when you're enjoying the great outdoors
The average U.S. household spends $100 per year to power electronic devices that are turned off. Use an advanced power strip that completely disconnects the power supply from the source to avoid phantom power when you are away from home.
Lower Your Holiday Lighting Costs
Use light-emitting diode -- or "LED" -- holiday light strings to reduce the cost of decorating your home for the winter holidays.

Brown not out of a job, or the woods, at UT
Updated 12:05 am, Saturday, December 14, 2013
AUSTIN — Even after he informed his bosses he wants to keep his job and learned his rumored successor reportedly agreed to stay at Alabama, Mack Brown's future as Texas football coach ended Friday the same way it started:
Speaking to a crowd of about 1,000 alumni, fans, recruits and players' family members at the Longhorns' postseason awards banquet, Brown praised his team and said he's "looking forward to continuing to work with" new athletic director Steve Patterson but made no reference to whether he will return for a 17th season at UT.
Brown stayed for 45 minutes after the banquet talking to recruits and players' parents, but through a spokesman declined to talk to reporters when he left the building.
Neither university President Bill Powers nor Patterson commented on Brown's status.
"When we have something to say, we'll say it," Patterson said.
According to a school official, Brown met with Powers and Patterson before the banquet and expressed a desire to return next season, despite multiple reports that he soon will step down.
However, none of those three men has made a definitive statement about whether the coach will be back.
The only part of the saga that came to a conclusion Friday was that involving Nick Saban, who'd been linked to UT since it was revealed that a regent and former regent discussed luring him to the Longhorns with his agent last January.
Minutes before Brown's speech, several news outlets reported that Saban had agreed to a lucrative contract extension with the Crimson Tide.
But if people in the crowd who learned of the Saban news via smartphones expected Brown to then announce he was staying at UT, they received no such outcome.
Brown lauded his players — who went 8-4 in the regular season — for fighting through "distractions" and called them "a team with no regrets." He concluded his speech by saying, "Now we need to go beat Oregon" in the Valero Alamo Bowl.
In remarks that preceded the coach's, Patterson and Powers both were complimentary of Brown and his accomplishments at UT. Patterson called Brown "classy, ethical and competent."
"Hopefully we'll be able to get together and work together for many years to come," Patterson said, without specifying in what capacity Brown would be working.
Powers, who Thursday received a boost when UT's board of regents decided to take no action concerning his employment, addressed Brown and his wife, Sally, directly.
"You are two of the very best," Powers said. "And I'm proud to be your friend."
Brown, 62, has compiled a record of 158-47 at UT and needs only nine more victories to tie Darrell Royal's school mark.
But since leading UT to a second national championship game four years ago, Brown's teams are only 30-20, including an 18-17 mark in the Big 12.
Brown is being paid $5.4 million this season as part of a contract that runs through 2020. His deal called for a $2.75 million buyout if he's terminated this year.
Thursday at an Alamo Bowl news conference in San Antonio, Brown declined to comment on if he was about to coach his final game at UT, explaining he wanted to meet with Patterson and Powers before making any such determinations.
Friday, that meeting happened.
The uncertainty, though, survived.

Customer Reviews
Don't really like being timed...
Okay, so this game is really fun, but I hate the time. I feel like I have to pay attention to the time more than the lasers. So what I'm asking isn't much, just add a mode where there is no time limit.
Neat idea- now go somewhere with it.
Four stars if you fix the inconsistant and unreliable movement stick. I get the whole inertia feel, but in a shooter, precision is everything.
Five stars if you incorporate some kinda upgrade system. Bombs, different weapons, anything to keep you still playing other than score.
Played once couldn't start it again?
I downloaded and played it once, then I tried to play the next day and could not even interact with the start button. Also the controls were sluggish and worked poorly. Until they verify they fixed the controls and start menu, stay away.

NEW: Graf to Replace Bissaillon as City Council Chief of Staff
Thursday, January 09, 2014
Bissaillon, who left the position effective January 3rd, entered Roger Williams University Law School in September.
"Jake has been a tremendous asset to the Council office, and has worked diligently to serve the needs of residents throughout the city, on behalf of Council members in every ward," stated Solomon. "I wish him the very best in his studies, and I know that, without question, he has a bright future in public service ahead of him."
Yvonne J. Graf will serve as Acting Chief of Staff for the duration of the Council term, which ends January 2015. Graf has worked for the Council since 2000, in various roles with increasing responsibilities, most recently as Director of Legislative Affairs and Communications. She will maintain that position while serving as Acting Chief of Staff.
"Yvonne has a proven track record working on legislation and policy initiatives, and has a high level of experience and understanding relating to Council operations," said Solomon. "She is well-respected among Council members and staff members for her professionalism and commitment, and her background and skills will complement the responsibilities of the Chief of Staff position."
"I am looking forward to assisting the City Council in this new capacity. The Council's work to make Providence a thriving city for all residents—through legislation, oversight, and policy initiatives—is something I've been proud to offer my skills and service toward," said Graf. "I'm excited to continue this work and to help the Council implement new plans to re-energize our capital city."
Additional changes
Solomon also announced the hiring of Marisol Garcia for the role of Director of Communications. Garcia has served as Director of Constituent Services for Congressman David N. Cicilline since 2011, managing and overseeing a wide array of constituent cases. Previously, Garcia worked for both the RI Higher Education Assistance Authority and former General Treasurer Paul Tavares as communications director.
"I am pleased to welcome Marisol to the Providence City Council Office," said Solomon. "Her communication and constituent outreach expertise will strengthen the services and expand the level of communication we are able to provide to members of the public. She knows how to build relationships and she cares deeply about working on the local level to improve our community."
"Marisol has been a strong leader on my constituent services team and a trusted advisor to me for over three years," said U.S. Congressman David N. Cicilline (D-RI). "Although her departure is a loss, I am confident her talent and expertise will be invaluable in her new position at the Providence City Council, and I wish her the best in her new endeavor."
"I am grateful for the opportunity to work with the members of the City Council to improve the lives of Providence residents. The Council members' decisions, ordinances, and resolutions affect every single resident of this city. I look forward to being part of their efforts to strengthen the city and to bring light to their initiatives in our community," said Garcia.
Councilwoman Sabina Matos (Ward 15), who chairs the Special Committee on Healthy Communities and Women stated, "These staff changes represent the commitment of Council President Solomon and the entire Council to appoint women to leadership roles in city government." She added, "Yvonne Graf is an advocate for Providence and a community leader in the West End, and her experience and talent as policy and legislative director have been a great benefit to the Council and the city for many years. As well, Marisol Garcia has an impressive professional background in communications and constituent services, and is a well-respected leader in the Latino community. I am thrilled that both of these talented women have been selected for these positions in the Council office."
Graf and Garcia assumed their new responsibilities this week.

Sanderson Dear - bio
Like most, music has played a huge role in my life, having been listening to it from an early age. The vinyl bug bit me in 1987 and that's when the record purchasing began and the dj'ing started shortly there after. After years of playing at parties, lounges, and some clubs I took the leap into music production in 2002, setting up Stasis Recordings to primarily handle whatever output I thought I might have. Eight years later after getting most of my label's infrastructure in place and building up the home studio I finished the first set of tunes I was confident enough in to make public. They turned up as the "First EP" on the Belgian label Load And Clear, and the first Stasis Recordings release "Deep Space EP".

Happy Birthday Sir!
this wiki
This article is about the episode. You may be looking for the magazine story, the 2014 magazine story, the Malaysian DVD, or the Thai DVD. |
- "I think I might have found something."
"We don't have time to find things, Winston." - — Winston and Thomas
Happy Birthday Sir! is the nineteenth episode of the sixteenth season.
On the Fat Controller's birthday, Thomas pulls into Brendam Docks where he meets Salty and Edward. Then the Fat Controller arrives in Winston, the new track inspection vehicle. The Fat Controller tells Thomas that, to celebrate his birthday, he is going shopping with his wife and mother. He goes on to tell Thomas that the tank engine must take Winston with him while he does his jobs. Thomas is pleased with his task and the Fat Controller tells Thomas to meet him back at the docks. After the Fat Controller leaves, Salty recalls a story that Edward had told him. A long time ago, when the Fat Controller was still a young man, he used to visit all of the stations on Sodor on his birthday in an open-topped carriage, pulled by Edward. Edward remembers how much the Fat Controller smiled whilst on his travels. Salty states that the carriage has been missing for years. Thomas and Winston are amazed by Salty's story. Soon it is time for Thomas to start his jobs so he and Winston head off. However, Winston does not have his mind on work; he is thinking about the Fat Controller's birthday.
At Maron, Thomas is coupled up to a flatbed of apples destined for Farmer Trotter's Pig Farm. Thomas tells Winston about his job, but Winston is not there. When he returns, he tells Thomas that he went to look for something. Thomas is not very happy, looking for something is not being really useful. Thomas and Winston soon arrive at the Pig Farm and, as Thomas chats to Farmer Trotter, Winston rolls away. When he returns, Winston tries to explain that he was looking for something, but Thomas reminds him that looking for things is not being really useful and that being really useful means being reliable. At the Whispering Woods, Thomas is coupled up to a flatbed of logs. When Thomas looks to Winston, he is not there again. When Winston finally returns, he tells Thomas that he thinks he has found something. Thomas is not interested and insists that Winston travel in front of him on the same line so that he cannot be distracted again.
As Winston and Thomas travel through the Whispering Woods, Winston cannot help but look around. It is almost teatime and Thomas tells Winston to hurry up. Thomas speeds up, but does not notice Winston slowing down. Thomas hits Winston and the pair come to a stop. Thomas is worried that the Fat Controller will be angry, but Winston is smiling. He thinks he has found something that will make the Fat Controller very happy. Thomas finally asks Winston what he has been looking for and Winston tells him that he has been looking for the carriage that the Fat Controller used to ride in on his birthday. There, on an overgrown siding, is the rusty, old abandoned carriage - Winston had found it. Thomas decides they should take the carriage to Victor at the Steamworks so that it can be restored. Then they can give the Fat Controller the best birthday surprise of all.
At the docks, the Fat Controller is waiting as Thomas and Winston rattle in. Thomas apologises for being late and offers to take the Fat Controller to Knapford where they can show him why they are late. Thomas and Winston, who is driven by the Fat Controller, soon arrive at Knapford. The Fat Controller is puzzled until Edward steams in, hauling the newly restored open-topped carriage. The Fat Controller is almost overcome with emotion when he sees it. Thomas and Winston both wish the Fat Controller a happy birthday and he thanks them for their special surprise.

I encountered something similar a few years ago, when I was still sending my debugging statements for a cgi script to the web browser. In trying to figure out why "03" was not equal to "03", it took looking at the source to figure out that, due to a bad regexp, I was actually getting "03". In the browser, though, they looked identical.

What's New: TwoFish granola
Published 2:17 pm, Friday, October 5, 2012
Now that it's fall, the flavors in TwoFish Baking Co.'s Harvest Blend Granola hold special appeal.

Pictures of O'Connell's
There are approximately 48,000 sweaters in this picture. Note the college mufflers near the ceiling.
Note the wall of ties and sweaters crammed in above the suits
Need a suit?
Need some pants?
Sorry this picture is fuzzy, but please note the stacks of Alden boxes on the back right wall
That is a wall full of shetland sweaters behind those coats

Wouldn't it be better for business if they moved to a slightly larger store? One might be able to actually look at all the different stuff. Too cluttered for me.

Thanks, I thought it might be a good supplement to your post.
Good point, but three things to consider:
1. If their online business wasn't doing so well, this would probably be more necessary
2. Ethan and the other guys that work there are excellent. If you go there, simply tell them what you're looking for and they'll pull it for you.
3. If you were in their shoes, would you actually want to pack up and move all of that stuff?? I sure wouldn't.

Lost and Found
My Son and his lovely wife were devastated when their gorgeous Ragdoll kitty went missing a month ago. A search was started with posters and answers to 'sightings' etc. As they live in London, and the Olympics were on it would have been traumatizing for any lost animal with all the bustle and noise. Anyway, exactly four weeks to the day, a kind lady handed Nea the kitty into the local vet, having found her in the bushes in Richmond Park. She is skinny and full of debris but sooooo happy to be home.
Poor Nea all scraggy!
Lovies from a grateful Mommy

Hello Jacqui,
I am so happy their kitty was returned to them! I know how devastating a missing kitten can be because I lost one and never did see her again. She was a white persian called Twinkle.
Thank you for stopping by for tea today and leaving your nice comment. Hope you are having a beautiful day.

Author Cressida Cowell reckons a childhood partly spent on a remote Scottish island with no TV, phone or lights, helped to spark her best-selling imagination.
Millions of readers have enjoyed her How To Train Your Dragon books and now a second movie in the series is ready for release.
She talked to BBC Breakfast about the adaptation.

When we got home we counted the apples (21!) and sorted them into three categories- red, green and both red and green.
We recited a favorite apple poem as we worked:
Apple, apple green
Apple, apple red
An apple fell on Eva's head!
We also made some apple prints. I cut the apples in half and pushed plastic forks in to use as handles. It worked really well and made it so much easier for Eva to lift the apples out of the paint and off the paper.
I cored one of the halves so that the "star" was visible like Stacie at the Amazing Mess did and Eva used white paint to stamp some apple blossoms along with her apples.

Lovers Rendezvous Kit is AMAZING!
The Lovers Rendezvous Kit is absolutely amazing. I would suggest this to any couple who is wanting to enhance their love life. The vibration on the massager and jelly ring are great, the dice are cute and great for foreplay but no games included. The rose petals and the electric candle make things more intense, and the condom makes things safe. This kit is very helpful.Published:
It made the romantic level way higher.
Vibrating ring is hard to turn on.
Follow-up commentary
1 month after original review
The Lovers Rendezvous Kit really disappointed me after a few weeks. The little pink vibrating rink stopped working, and the little switch you use to turn it on broke off, so we had to throw that away. The game dice got a few cracks in them so its hard to see a few of the words. The little black vibrator still works and still fills great. We lost most of the rose petals, and little candle light ran out of batteries. We only have a little bit of lube left. But its really good lube.
This product was provided free of charge to the reviewer. This review is in compliance with the
FTC guidelines.
Very nice review, thanks!
good first review, thanks for sharing. Welcome to eden. I found that the only good product in this kit was the lube. I have not had good luck with kits. Too many cheap or bad products to make the kit useful in my mind.
Good Review, Thanks for posting this.
Thank you for the review
Sorry some of the items crapped out on ya =( thanks for the review!
Thanks for the review
Nice review!
Great review! Sorry to hear some of the things broke so quickly.
Thank you so much for your review!!
Thank you
In case you ever want it, EF now has a pack of...I think 6...little vibrator motors for the C-ring. Those things don't last long, and don't have replaceable batteries!
No discussions yet.
Thank you for viewing Lovers rendezvous kit – romantic sex kit review page!

How fun!! I LOVE roller coasters and I remember the ones you named from there! Those were the days!
Big Fun at Worlds of Fun
Trip Start
Jul 20, 2012
Trip End
Jul 30, 2012
What I did
We didn't get up in a rush this morning, but instead had a casual morning and so we arrived at the park after 2pm. Upon entering we energized ourselves at a buffet I had pre-paid for, then we were off to take on the amusement park. Aria was an eager beaver from the get-go. She didn't want to stop for pictures or any shows... it was rides, rides and more rides. In fact, as we were walking to get on one ride she would already begin asking what we were going to ride next.
Lucky for me, the kids are now excited to get on roller coasters so now I have two partners to ride with. They rode everyone of them in the park except for one that was closed and another they were too short to ride. They are officially roller coaster maniacs. Jadin even road his first upside down coaster with me, called the Boomerang.
Their favorite coaster was one called the Mamba which is called "one of the fastest, tallest, longest coasters in the world." The kids tamed the "Mamba" and rode it four times.
Besides coasters, the kids spent some time in a kids section called Planet Snoopy. There we caught a Charlie Brown character show and got some good photos with the characters while cooling off in the theater.
The kids were also excited to ride on the Le TaxiTour featuring replica antique taxi's they were able to drive themselves. I enjoyed it because I finally got to hop in the backseat and have Jadin drive after putting in over 800 miles over the last few days.
We also saw a swinging musical called Stay Tuned which had singers performing a handful of old TV Show theme songs that had the crowd going down memory lane. They pulled out some shows I had forgotten about: The Monsters, The Brady Bunch, etc... (my favorite show they sung was The Jefferson's them song - you know it don't you? Moving on Up!). Jadin said he didn't know any of the songs but the Flintstones.
Laneshia is not a big fan of amusement parks so she gets love for hanging in there until we were ready to leave at 10. As we typically do, we started late but we closed the place down (when we were heading out we followed some of the employees to the exits).
We got some good sleep tonight.

Jul 15, 2013More Light titrates psych rock, garage guitars and shaggy dance music, with Gillespie high on his own supply in a good way.
Classic Rock MagazineJun 26, 2013["It's A;right, It's OK" is] Yet another foray into shameless retro pastiche, then, but it concludes this gloomy, ear-bashing album with a welcome blast of rousing optimism. [Jul 2013, p.90]
Jun 18, 2013More Light is not only an all-encompassing trip that shows everything they're capable of, but also the best album they've made since 2000's XTRMNTR.
Jun 18, 2013Throughout, Holmes maintains a steady hand on the controls, never letting the stylistic shifts overwhelm the overriding ambiance, which is to revel in sensuality of synapse-stroking while riding the pure physicality of a full-on dance/rock record.
Jun 18, 2013On More Light, the band exercises this need for reinvention while incorporating--and even emphasizing—the danger and despair inherent in its best work.
Jun 17, 2013More Light sees Primal Scream returning with a more exciting, adventurous outlook, no doubt fueled by re-teaming with DJ and producer, David Holmes, whom the group first worked with on parts of XTRMNTR.
Jun 17, 2013It is one of those odd Primal Scream albums where they pull it all together--roping in the hard rock, free jazz, club beats, flowery psychedelia, the worship of the Stooges, and a devotion to avant-garde cinema--building upon the past in an attempt to get closer to the future.
Jun 13, 2013Fewer of the screechers and More Light would be just right: Screamadelica-lite. [Jun-Jul 2013, p.89]
MojoMay 20, 2013It all amounts to Primal Scream's most satisfying album since Screamadelica, with something akin to maturity joining the still-vital urge to make transcendent noise. [Jun 2013, p.82]
Q MagazineMay 13, 2013Primal Scream haven't sounded this vital in at least a decade. [Jun 2013, p.97]
May 13, 2013More Light stands as one of Primal Scream's finest, most honest records, even if the ravens remain soundly roosting within the Tower's walls.
May 13, 2013Thanks to a propensity for insurrectionary non sequiturs that are big on abstract nouns but shakier on sense. But this is still their most exhilarating album since 2000's superlative Xtrmntr.
May 13, 2013More Light is not Primal Scream at their very best, but merely at their very good.
May 10, 2013More Light is Primal Scream's best effort in some time.
May 10, 2013More Light is prosaic, but also proof that when you want to rally a new generation, it's not Marcus Mumford you want holding the megaphone.
May 9, 2013The Britain of 2013 may be a place full of dread in Primal Scream's world but that sense of anger has prompted them to deliver an extremely impressive return that's brash, bold and often brilliant.
May 8, 2013This might not be their finest work, but it's the best thing they've made in at least a decade.
May 8, 2013With the Screamadelica nostalgia out of their systems, More Light primes the Scream for their fourth decade in the best possible way, serving as a summary of everything they've done before, yet sounding nothing like it.
May 7, 2013Sure, few will love everything on here but the hubris, yet the sprawling mess that is More Light can't help but impress.
UncutMay 7, 2013Not everything works, but somehow everything fits. [Jun 2013, p.66]
May 7, 2013With the core 'XTRMNTR' team--the Scream, Shields, producer David Holmes--More Light, the Scream's 10th album and first in five years, lives up to its bilious billing.
May 7, 2013The problem with More Light is the problem with any given Primal Scream record: too much variety. And the problem with that problem is it can also work for them as a strength. But on More Light, it can get hard to see any kind of cohesion beyond compilation.
May 7, 2013As it develops, it shows off a new side to them once again, one which wants to make records which draw on their experience rather than trying to do something completely new, and that in itself puts More Light up their with their best.

U.S. small business borrowing slows in February
WASHINGTON U.S. small businesses borrowing hit a five month low in February, in the latest indication of slower economic growth in the first quarter after an unusually harsh winter.
WASHINGTON The economy may be in for a long period of soft growth after employers hired the fewest number of workers in eight months in May and the unemployment rate rose to 9.1 percent.
Nonfarm payrolls increased 54,000 last month, the Labor Department said on Friday, just over a third of what economists had expected.
However, analysts saw little chance the economy would slide back into recession, given that temporary factors like high gasoline prices and supply chain disruptions from the earthquake in Japan were constraining growth.
"The recovery has not been aborted. The economy is not falling into a double-dip," said Sung Won Sohn, an economics professor at California State University in the Channel Islands. "This weakness, however, is a warning shot across the bow of the economy."
The broadly weak report confirmed a loss of economic momentum already flagged by other data from consumer spending to manufacturing. The department said it found "no clear impact" on the jobs figures from the tornadoes and flooding in the Midwest and South.
The sharp slowdown in job creation accompanied signs of softening growth overseas and was troubling news for President Barack Obama, whose chances of re-election next year could hinge on the health of the economy.
In remarks to auto workers in Ohio, Obama did not directly address the jobs figures, although he acknowledged the economy's woes and said it would take a while to mend.
"There are still some headwinds that are coming at us. Lately it's been high gas prices, then you have the economic disruptions following the tragedy in Japan," Obama said.
"There are always going to be bumps on the road to recovery. We are going to pass though some rough terrain."
High gasoline costs hurt consumer spending in the first quarter, when economic growth was held to a 1.8 percent annual pace after expanding at a 3.1 percent rate at the end of 2010.
Wal-Mart Chief Executive Mike Duke on Friday said the "paycheck cycle," where people stock up around payday and then spend less as the month progresses and cash runs out, is more pronounced than it has ever been.
The employment data lent more fuel to talk about the need for the Federal Reserve to extend its asset purchasing program when it expires this month, but officials at the central bank have set a high bar for any further easing of monetary policy.
With the Obama administration and lawmakers discussing how best to trim U.S. spending as they try strike a deal on raising the debt limit, the economy could be left to its own devices.
Ratings agency Moody's on Thursday said it would consider cutting the nation's credit rating if progress is not made by mid-July in talks to raise the $14.3 trillion debt ceiling.
"One look at the jobs report should show the White House it's time to get serious about cutting spending and healing our ailing economy," said U.S. House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner.
U.S. stocks fell to mark a fifth straight week of losses, while the dollar sank to a record low against the Swiss franc.
Treasury debt prices and interest rate futures rose, signaling that traders believe mounting signs of economic weakness will lead the U.S. central bank to keep interest rates pressed to zero for a prolonged stretch.
A Reuters survey on Friday predicted the Fed would leave interest rates on hold this year and most economists did not see an increase before the second half of 2012.
"It pushes back expectations to when the Fed can start to renormalize policy, probably well into 2012 before we see an increase in the fed funds rate," said Robert Dye, senior economist at PNC Financial Services in Pittsburgh.
Views the economy was not falling off the cliff were supported by a separate report showing growth in the country's services sector picked up in May.
The Institute for Supply Management's services sector index rose to 54.6 last month from 52.8 in April, with gains in employment and new orders.
The private sector, which has shouldered the burden of job creation, added just 83,000 jobs in May, the fewest since last June, while government payrolls fell for a seventh straight month.
About 39,000 fewer jobs were created in March and April than previously estimated. Payrolls in May had been expected to rise 150,000, with private employment gaining 175,000.
The economy has regained only a fraction of the more than 8 million jobs lost during the recession. Economists say payrolls growth above 300,000 a month is needed to make significant progress in shrinking the pool of 13.9 million unemployed Americans.
The rise in the unemployment rate from 9.0 percent in April reflected discouraged workers re-entering the labor market after a pick-up in hiring in April.
"There was very little in the report that suggested the household sector has any reason to become more confident in the recovery and that in itself does not augur well for a future acceleration," said Patrick O'Keefe, head of economic research at J.H. Cohn in Roseland, New Jersey.
Employment in the private services sector rose by a modest 80,000, a sharp slowdown from April's 213,000 increase. Payrolls in May were held back by declines in leisure and hospitality, and retail.
Factory employment contracted for the first time since October, while construction rose for a fourth straight month.
The report showed the average workweek steady at 34.4 hours, and few signs of wage inflation with average hourly earnings rising 6 cents.
