Someday's Dreamers is really an anime that works. It works in a way no other anime could work. It is a symbol of exactly what an anime should do. Sure, it's not the best one to do this, but it works.
Story: What I like about the story, and what works about it, is its slice of life. It just really connects. It asks us questions about what should we do in the situations presented. What would we do. If this "special power" actually existed, would those who have it deserve it. How would they use it. Stuff like that. It all applies to life. The actual story doesn't get overshadowed though. The story presents these slices of life though itself. And it just works like that. The story itself works into something bigger than you would have expected from watching the first few episodes.
This story isn't perfect though. For one, there are times when it uses typical shojo conventions to progress. It still works, but it could have been at least a bit better at this. The second thing that harms the story is there are also times when something feels out of place, or over the top for no reason. And then, there is the double edged sword. How slow-paced it is. While how slow paced it is works in its favor at telling you the story, it can get a little grating at times. Once you get into it, you can't really get out until it's all over, and how slow it is, this could be seen as forever. While it has it's flaws, the story is worth watching.
Characters: The characters in Someday's Dreamers are life-like. They are what makes the slice of life a slice of life. These characters are people that have their good and bad times, and are completely relate-able with the situations that they are in. It gives us a sense of something to grasp and hold onto and learn from. While these characters do that, they to have their problems. First, some of the characters can be hard to related to at first, or really at all though out the series. You may or may not find something from some of the characters. Not all, but enough to lower it a little. Then there are some characters that can be annoying at times as well. This isn't that bad though. After all, we all have someone annoying to deal with in life, and this just portrays that aspect. Still, they could have been a little less annoying. Finally, the biggest problem with the characters, you know how I said that there are times it's over the top? This is mainly the characters fault. So, why did I bring it up in the story? Well, the characters have affected the story in a negative way, and that's what makes the characters not as good as they could have been. But, they are still good.
Art: The animation was OK to say the least. While it is not an eyesore, it didn't seem like it was as good as it could have been. It didn't seem natural enough. I think that if some more money went into this, the art could have been a spectacle. But, it's just OK. It's not bad, just OK.
Sound: The dub voices are great. they work really well. There only problem is that sometimes they over-acted the part and made it over the top. Now the OST. That is freakin' amazing. It works perfectly for the story, and makes it even better. It's just simply amazing. It works and sticks with you. It is just wonderful.
Overall: While it's not one of the best anime out there, it is worth watching, and maybe watching again. I'd be willing to watch it again. This anime is just simply a slice of life that applies to life, while still being its own story. It does have its flaws, but, you'll be able to recognize that the good outweighs the bad in this situation. 8/10

With Grain, you can write articles and news using Markdown, reStructuredText and AsciiDoc markup languages, highlight your code via Python Pygments, and apply styles using SASS/SCSS
Make and see changes on the fly, Grain instantly loads any changes made to a content, configuration, templates and sources to make your development experience intuitive and productive
You can dynamically create and customize site pages using Groovy code, which makes it very simple and easy to implement blog, news and documentation websites
Grain framework is platform independent, so you can enjoy it on your favorite operating system, whether it is Mac, Windows or Linux
There are very few things in Grain framework that need a detailed explanation except being described in the docs. However, there's one thing, which I really want to clarify in details for Grain users. I wanted to write an article for the people who seek for simple instructions for implementing tasks that require complex manipulation to site pages, like including information from one page to another, creating or replacing pages, etc. As an example, in this guide I will tell you how to create paginated blog archive for your site.
Grain theme is a project that provides a layout-based skeleton for creating static websites by only adjusting the configuration and adding a content. This post shows how to use the theme template in order to create a custom Grain theme — starting from defining content files and page layouts, and up to building user-friendly, page-formatting tools.
We are happy to announce a new stable Grain revision. First of all, we would like to give special thanks to everyone who helps make Grain better by leaving requests on Google Groups and reporting issues on GitHub. It would be much harder to move Grain forward without your support and contributions.
Added support of dynamic revision numbers, like 0.6.+. Concrete values still must be specified for the major and minor numbers of the Grain version, so the declarations like 0+, 0.+ or 0.6+ will not be accepted. This is done on purpose to ensure that Grain themes always use a compatible Grain version.

Officially launched this week alongside a funding announcement following several months of quietly-building buzz courtesy of press mentions in places such as WWD, Shoptiques is a new shopping site hoping to connect style fans with the kind of little boutiques you stumble upon and fall in love with — no matter your location.
A product of Silicon Valley's Y Combinator (backer of many a name you'll no doubt recognize, including AirBnB, Dropbox and Disqus, just to name a few), the company and its founder Olga Vidisheva aim to make those hard-to-find labels and hidden gems tucked away in independent boutiques around the country accessible to shoppers in a new way.
Instead of relying on retailers to supply product images – which has long been a stumbling block for independent store owners who lack the time or extra funds to produce the high-quality images today's online shoppers have come to expect – the company sends out its own photographers to shoot merch. Along with curating apparel and accessories in a visually appealing way, Shoptiques also handles purchasing transactions and takes a cut for each sale.
More good news: in addition to offering small boutiques a way to get their products online in a visually-appealing, yet seemingly cost-effective way, the merchandise selection is one that, for the moment at least, is a welcome mix of versatile, contemporary pieces in on-trend silhouettes and edgier, more daring items that will no doubt hold appeal for shoppers seeking standout looks.
You'll see five of our picks from the site above.

Between 1690 and 1720, pirates operated freely off Ocean Isle Beach—especially three pirates—Sam Bellamy, Stede Bonnet and Edward Teach.
One pirate who looted more than 50 ships from his vessel "Whydah" was Bellamy, who was often called "Black Bellamy."
Bellamy's pirate career came to an end on April 26, 1717, when a bad storm sunk his ship and nearly all onboard died including Bellamy.
Another notorious pirate who attacked ships off Ocean Isle was Bonnet who was often called "The Gentleman Pirate."

It's Shake 'n Bake... and I hayulped!1
Shake 'n Bake is a coating mix, made by Kraft. It is used to apply to meat, which is then baked for a while. It is popular because of two reasons.
A) It's tasty and delicious. Not just tasty. Not just delicious. Tasty and delicious. The packaging doesn't lie when it claims that chicken cooked with Shake 'n Bake™ is "Extra crispy outside, tender and juicy inside". Some of the flavours are better than others, but overall, as long as you're using good chicken and follow the directions, the food turns out real good.
anthropod says re shake 'n bake: Yeah, funny how chemicals make your food taste good. Learning how to really cook does it better, though, IMHO. ;-) but not really joking!
B) It's insanely easy to prepare. You take the plastic bag that comes with the Shake 'n Bake, run a bit of water over a piece of chicken (Or fish, or pork, however chicken is the most popular choice), put the chicken in the bag, pour some of the Shake'n Bake into the bag, shake it, pull it out, put it on a pan and throw it in the oven. 20-45 minutes later, you're done.
The combination of these two factors have made Shake 'n Bake rather popular since it was introduced by Kraft in 1965. At the time, there were only two flavours, Chicken and Fish. Now, however there are a couple of pork flavours, the fish flavour (The least popular type it seems), a whole lot of chicken flavours, and even a coating for spiced homemade french fries.
Shake 'n Bake seems to be most popular amongst those who are just starting to learn how to cook, don't have the resources available to cook elaborate meals themselves, and those who don't have much time to put into meal preparation. Naturally it is a favorite amongst college students, who often fall under all three categories. And of course, there are the millions of people who buy Shake 'n Bake simply because it's tasty and easy to use. You don't really need any other excuse. Having been introduced in 1965, there are a couple generations which have grown up eating this stuff, and it doesn't look like people are about to stop anytime soon.
Shake 'n Bake currently comes in the following flavours:
Myself, I reccomend the Lemon Pepper, Cajun, or Southern Fried. Original's pretty good too. I try to avoid the Teriyaki.
Oh, and since someone asked, here's a list on the indredients, this from the Lemon Pepper variety: Toasted Bread Crumbs, Corn Meal, Whole Wheat, Modified Corn Starch, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and Cottonseed oil, Sugar, Natural Lemon Flavour, Salt, Natural Flavour, Black Pepper and other spices, Malted Barley Flour, Parsley, Garlic, Onion, Yeast, Amylase.
1: That quote is from a rather old ad for Shake 'n Bake, wherein upon being asked what's for dinner, a young southern girl proudly proclaims It's Shake 'n Bake... and I hayulped! The idea of course being that it is so simple to prepare, even a child can do it.
Wiccanpiper says re shake 'n bake: Hey! That's how I grew up saying "help"! <g> Wiccanpiper says that's really how they say helped in, for example, Georgia. In KY we'd be more likely to say "heped".
DejaMorgana says If this was Wikipedia i wouldn't mention it, but given the enormous cult status of Aliens in these here parts, i think the shake 'n bake w/u ought to mention that shake'n bake is also slang for the type of semi-automated colony set up on LV-426 in that movie. "It's what we call a shake'n bake colony," says the young Company flack, utterly oblivious to Ripley's horrified expression.
Good point. It's also used to refer to a lot of other things that are quite easy to set up, or things that come ready to use. For example, there is one software package that you use by inputting X-ray diffraction data, which provides a Molecular Model as output. Easy! Simple! Shake 'n Bake!

honesty is where the heart is. honesty is where the strength is. honesty is where the love is when we use it as a pillar and not as an excuse.
you touched my spirit with your writing. i hope you feel how big and wonderful your heart, strength and love is. one can only hope for a love as dynamic and lovely as yours and Mikes... you are living proof that TRUE love exists.Hi Caitlin, I just wanted to come over here after reading your piece earlier today on APW and let you know that I've been thinking about you and Mike all day. Is that weird coming from a stranger? I don't know what to say besides that. You wrote with such honesty that I felt that I stepped into your shoes for a short minute and I'm not sure how, yet, but it was good for me. Thank you for being so brave with your honesty!
ReplyDeleteIt was so, so good, dear! And I loved that you reminded people that they would have dealt with it too. I feel like all too often people imagine that when something hard happens they will curl up on the floor and fall apart. When really 90% of people will realize that you have to step up to the plate and keep going. And that is comforting, in it's own way, to know that you can do that.
Sorry I'm so late to this! I've been sending good thoughts to you and Mike all month. xo

The US hyperpower – not the Atlanticist West, because Europe is mired in fear and stagnation — "proposes" the current neocon/neoliberalcon status quo; the usual Divide and Rule tactics; and the primacy of fear, enshrined in the Pentagon array of "threats" that must be fought, from Russia and China to Iran.

The media know the truth, which is why they are hotly trying to deny it. All of them, in unison. Donald Trump is dropping hints, which is what he does a lot of the time.

China's military strategic reforms ~ link ~
The newly established Rocket Force and Strategic Support Force (SSF), two new services of the PLA, were some of the major changes to the military's structure. The transformation of the Second Artillery Corps (SAC) into the Rocket Force was not a surprise, as the SAC had already been an independent military branch under the direct control of the CMC. With the mission to "deter against hostile forces in all territories with both conventional and nuclear warheads," the PLA Rocket Force, like its predecessor, the SAC, is responsible for the stockpile of surface-to-surface strategic and tactical ballistic missiles, which are China's "lethal weapons" in its nuclear deterrence strategy.
For long-term observers of the PLA's development, that the SAC was restructured as the Rocket Force was not surprising. The establishment of the SSF, however, was a different story; to many specialists, the SSF represented a major break in tradition. In addition, after China announced its establishment, media reports on the SSF have been scarce. The new service is veiled in mystery.
Silent Coup to overtake USA ~ link ~
Nichols goes on to say, "We are at the beginning of a velvet or silent coup. It's been going on for years. There's been a slow subtle takeover of our form of government, starting years and years ago, but it is coming to an end. That's why there is this power play now. It's more aggressive than you have seen before. If we don't stop Hillary, it's over. Is Trump the answer to all of our problems? I don't know. Here's what I do know about Donald Trump. Donald Trump is not in the system. How do I know that? As hard as they are working to keep him out is a pretty good recommendation for me. He's not one of them. He might be a good president. When you mention Hillary or the establishment, there is no 'might.' With them, we would get what we have been getting but only worse. There is not a 'might' there."

The Jacksonville Jaguars announced a new community-based campaign called Stand United Fridays aimed at firing up more business and fan involvement with the team.
Flanked by Mayor Alvin Brown, City Council President Bill Gulliford and Jax Chamber officials at a Tuesday news conference at City Hall, Jaguars President Mark Lamping called upon local businesses, schools and military organizations to get engaged in the events of the initiative.
See Also
Stand United Fridays aims to sweep the community up in activities ranging from wearing Jaguars apparel to decorating offices, schools and military organizations with Stand United decals in business windows.
Officials said the effort isn't directly aimed at driving up ticket sales, but rather at drumming up fan engagement. Still, the payoff for some fans who get involved could be winning tickets to a Jaguars game.
"Each month we're going to have a contest among businesses and schools where those organizations can show how they are standing united with the Jaguars," Lamping said, adding Facebook page and Internet votes will determine which organization has the most Jaguar pride. The winning organization will get 40 tickets to a Jaguars game.
That's just one of the elements involved in Stand United:
- There will also be free Stand United fan pep rallies at EverBank Field, the first being Thursday from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
- Regionwide appearances from Jaguar personnel and promotions in about 130 bars and nightclubs around the First Coast area.
- A regionwide scavenger hunt on Fridays prior to every Jaguars home game where fans will search the area for a hidden Stand United Jaguars football helmet.
- Citywide displays of Stand United with enhanced signs at Jacksonville International Airport and Friendship Fountain on the Southbank being colored teal each Friday.
It's not the first time the Jaguars have issued a call to arms for support from local fans. In recent years, the organization has enlisted former Jaguar Tony Boselli to drive fan interest accompanied by special season ticket prices as part of "Team Teal" and the "All In" campaign featured players, coaches and even management.
While all facets of the community are being encouraged to support Stand United, Jax Chamber Chairman Greg Smith said local businesses are key.
"I think it's really demonstrating a strong partnership with the Jaguars," Smith said. "I think the businesses, in reaching out to their associates and employees, are kind of helping to reinforce the message that the Jaguars are an exciting part of our community here in Northeast Florida."
Smith added there's virtually no cost for local businesses to take part in Stand United Fridays; just ask employees to wear their Jaguars gear and display a Stand United sticker.
Brown said the franchise is simply part of the financial footprint of Jacksonville.
"The Jaguars are not just a team, they are a part of the heartbeat that strengthens our economy and quality of life. …" Brown said.
Gulliford said Jacksonville will have heightened exposure this year as the team travels to the United Kingdom to play the San Francisco 49ers on Oct. 27 in London. He said now's the time for businesses to buy into the potential economic impact.
"It's classical bandwagoning," Gulliford said. "The thing in London is not just a matter of playing a game in London. [Jaguars owner] Shad Khan is talking about having the teams' [representatives] that week before the game to go out and meet with European businesses to see if they can attract businesses to Jacksonville. That could be huge."
Lamping acknowledged the ultimate onus of getting local fans to buy into the Jaguars rests on the team's ability to win games. The team is coming off its worst franchise record of 2 wins and 14 losses in 2012 and the biggest indicator of support — ticket sales — is lagging. But the franchise underwent a major overhaul of uniforms and hired new coach Gus Bradley in the offseason.
"We're doing OK. We're a little behind last year. We're not surprised by that. But we have a long way to go. Ticket sales are our No. 1 priority each and every day and I don't think that's ever going to change in Jacksonville," Lamping said.
However, Lamping said, local businesses cannot ignore the financial impact the Jaguars bring to most sectors of the community.
"I don't know that there's much debate that the Jaguars are an economic contributor to this community both in direct and indirect economic benefits," Lamping said. "When you think about one thing that raises the profile of this community, probably nothing does it nationally, now internationally, more than the regular exposure that the Jaguars create."

Brotherhood of the Daleks | Order of Simplicity |
False Gods was a 2008 Big Finish Productions full-cast audio short story featuring the Seventh Doctor, Ace and Hex.
It was notable for showing a Time Lord other than the Doctor confronting the legal ramifications of breaking the Laws of Time.
Publisher's summary Edit
In the blistering heat of the Egyptian desert Howard Carter and his team search for the lost tomb of Userhat, a servant of the god Amun. What they discover sheds new light on the history of the world as we know it.
Plot Edit

- Howard Carter - Benedict Cumberbatch
- Jane Templeton - Lucy Adams
- Robert Charles/Robot - Paul Lincoln
- Creodont - Jon Glover
References Edit
Foods and beverages Edit
- Ace mentions that Hex is better at making tea than she is.
Gallifreyan laws Edit
- The story enumerates two specific criminal offences under Gallifreyan law. When a Time Lord sets her or himself up as a god in another culture, this is a "Class Two Intervention". Its penalty is vaporisation. Materially affecting the physical properties of a planet, such as its axial rotation, counts as a "Class One Intervention".
Planets Edit
- In the far future, Earth's ozone layer is compromised to the extent that life can no longer be sustained on the planet.
TARDIS Edit
- The way to kill a TARDIS is to pilot it into the heart of a star.
Time Lords Edit
- Jane is a Time Lord, a Time Lord Academy student in "Year 45". At the time the Doctor meets her, she is in her thirteenth life, having used up her regenerations whilst stranded on Earth for thousands of years.
Notes Edit
- Plans were in place for The Daily Telegraph to release this story as a free standalone download to accompany a feature article about the Big Finish Doctor Who audio stories.[1] These plans were postponed.[2]

The New Yorker: Much Ado About Nothing
Last week I got a call to illustrate The New Yorker film review of Joss Whedon's "
Much Ado About Nothing.
" The lead review changed at the last minute and the piece did not run. Nevertheless, I enjoyed working with a limited palette and playing up thematic elements from the film in the composition. AD Chris Curry.

Sometimes, you just have to let a chef do what a chef does best.
This will not be a typical wmdm review: no pictures. I might even flub up what a few of the courses were. Sometimes, you just have to enjoy the experience as you're in it. This is one of those cases.
The Better Half and I are members of a dinner club, and this month's pick was by our friend Tracy, whose birthday coincided with some very good news — we had lots of stuff to celebrate. What better place than Orchids, housed in one of the most beautiful buildings in Cincinnati?
One of the other members is a chef and instructor at the Midwest Culinary Institute (I'm sure he'll write about the meal– he took notes!), and thus knew Chef Todd Kelly. That might've made the experience a little different, but looking around at the other tables, I doubt it . Chef came out and said hello to the nine of us before dinner began and we all chatted a bit after. I don't think our service or food was any different or better than anyone else's: it was hard to ignore how attentive, knowledgeable, and approachable the entire serving staff was to everyone. The restaurant was crowded, and the clientele ranged from our group of nine, to some families having dinner, to a young couple splitting a chateaubriand. You could easily eat here for under $50 per person, or you could spend upwards of $200. Orchids is accessible luxury.
The maitre d', Charles, suggested that we do a tasting menu, and especially suggested letting Chef Kelly decide what those courses would be– particularly since he'd just gotten in some early spring produce. We couldn't decide on the number of courses– the standard is five, we could have done ten– so we compromised: seven, plus wine pairings. I had to be different– I knew that this place had a great cocktail service (Erin Ennis, formerly of Tonic on Fourth, is the genius behind the bar) and I asked– thinking they'd say no– if I could get cocktail pairing instead. Charles paused, thoughtfully. "I think so. Let's do it!"
And boy, did we.
From our amuse bouche– a delicate eggshell filled with a cauliflower custard, topped with the most perfectly cooked, wafer-thin piece of bacon imaginable– to my favorite course, duck with cranberries paired with cherry infused Woodford, citrus and sage– to our dessert of frozen caramel custard and a chocolate-peanut butter tart, paired with an espresso "martini" with Godiva white chocolate liqueur– everything was perfect. The coursing was perfectly timed, down to the in-unison removal of silver domes by an army of waitstaff. It's the kind of service that makes you think, "Wow, this is the life," yet somehow also makes me feel like a little girl– not quite grown-up enough to sit at the big kid's table.
Other highlights:
What was truly amazing was the coordination between the kitchen and the bar– every drink was inventive, playful, and paired beautifully with the dishes. One drink, the cherry Woodford and sage concoction, was a better pairing than the wine pairing– and the wine pairing was excellent. It's just so much fun to experience the end result of so many people's creativity. Terry and I have decided we'll go back sometime– just the two of us– and do something similar. As they take into consideration allergies, likes and dislikes, and dietary restrictions, no two tastings are the exact same experience. For four hours, nine friends laughed, ate, drank, and focused on the then-and now instead of the rest of the world. And we all need a moment or two of that, don't we?
So glad that you had a great dinner at Orchids Julie! Tabitha took me there for my annual 39th birthday (see what I did there?) two weeks ago. We had a fabulous 4 course dinner, and enjoyed the live jazz trio and singer while having digestives at the bar afterwards. I have long considered Orchids to be the best restaurant in Cincinnati, and it just keeps getting better. Charles Redmond has taken his place alongside John McClain & Richard Brown as one of the great maitre d' s that the City has ever produced. Charles not only makes impeccable wine (and cocktail!) pairings, but he masterfully keeps the whole restaurant coordinated while making each and every diner feel welcomed at Orchids. Bravo.
@winemedineme last call to confirm your seats for april 1…
And rice noodle flan, and the amazing demi on the steak, and, and, … I lost track!
I had a really great rabbit dish when we went there. I loooovvveee rabbit.
Aside from the food, which is obviously first class, I'm always really in awe of the service. You're right, everything is perfectly timed. And really that's just the beginning.
Think it comes from more than the desire to be #1. More impressive –– it's a natural consequence of being rooted in the hospitality industry and having a genuine care for people's experience.
My husband took me there for my birthday last year and it was quite the experience. The food was, of course, delicious but the service was equally as impressive. I was pregnant at the time and they accommodated that with ease. The service was similar to that of Boca, which is, in my opinion, the best restaurant around. Thanks for your review and I'm glad you had such a great experience. It sounds like I need to go back when I can enjoy the drink pairings!

Snake Magnet
By Kong
While Manchester's Kong have their own distinct sound, Brew Records' latest release continues in the vein of previous signings, most notably improvised prog-rockers Castrovalva, and the mental vocal stylings of Chickenhawk.
Kong churn out mind-bending, punk-tinged prog soundscapes that always labour after the unusual, avant-garde effect, rather than what's catchy and enjoyable. It's the sort of challenging art-rock you can appreciate and analyse, but it's impossible to enjoy, as you would usually expect to enjoy music.
Right from the start, Kong make it clear their debut album, 'Snake Magnet,' isn't going to be an easy ride. Album-opener 'Leather Penny' is a song that occupies the mind-boggling point where spazzcore meets art-rock.
'Snake Magnet' dolls out only a handful of vocals per song, and 'Leather Penny' is no exception, although this isn't a problem, as Kong are frequently at their most bruising during their instrumentals. The punishing instrumental beginning and end-sections of 'Leather Penny,' take a bass roar, and splatter it with raw-sounding chords that hitch and scratch away at random. The result is a lumbering, bass-heavy behemoth of sound with a mad gleam in its eye.
Inbetween these instrumental book-ends, is a jumble of guitars that squeak, squeal, whine, and generally make whatever noise Kong can twist out of them. But, by the end of the song, it's the more restrained beginning and end that'll be lodged in your head.
Second track 'Blood of a Dove' is surprisingly pared down, although what little there is, is well put-together. Ninety per cent of the song consists of a scratchy guitar refrain that slides off into the occasional, shrill whine. Looped to within an inch of its life over a pulsing bass, it's horrible and addictive in equal measures.
'Blood of a Dove' makes a final bid to break the listener's sanity, by bringing the drums and the bass to the top of the mix, while frontman Magpie (possibly not his real name) wails away in the background in a nightmarish soundscape that'll have you hooked.
Just when you thought things couldn't get any stranger, Kong deliver 'Wet Your Knives,' six minutes of insanity that eclipses everything we've heard so far.
For the first minute and a half, it seems like Kong are playing one song, when they really want to be playing another. They keep trotting out a neat bit of guitar picking, whilst bursting into a second, completely different song at random intervals, before switching back to the first song and carrying on like nothing's happened.
It's an effective trick, as the second song sounds like riotous, metal-tinged punk in the style of 'Leather Penny,' and you'll be willing Kong to launch into that song proper.
However, once they comply, it's clear that this isn't going to be a straightforward 'Leather Penny'-style rant. Kong insist on throwing in sparser passages that don't work nearly as well as when 'Wet Your Knives' goes for a bulkier sound. Kong need that weight to hold their more experimental flourishes together.
When Kong strip 'Wet Your Knives' down to the basics, they also keep repeating themselves, and the simplicity combined with the repetition makes for surprisingly boring listening. The chords they employ may be unusual, but they quickly begin to dull after the sixth, seventh, eighth repetition. The vocals do add some variety to proceedings, as Magpie rants, raves, barks, and seems to be speaking in tongues, but there's no denying that 'Wet Your Knives' is more entertaining when it's describing a rich and noisy soundscape. 'Wet Your Knives' is a mixed bag.
Kong's love of sticking basic beats on a loop, is also a problem with 'Sport,' which is the album's weakest offering. As 'Sport' stutters along with broken-up guitars, random drum flourishes and the occasional screeched vocal, the overall impression is of a song that never quite gets into its groove.
'A Hint of Rennit, Innit' begins and expires on a high, but lags in the middle, again due to that ill-advised combination of basic beats and repetition.
Interestingly with 'A Hint of Rennit, Innit,' the beginning and end-sections work for completely different reasons. Kong initially tread a restrained path, with a groovy bass line that shimmies stylishly along. Conversely, the end-section is pure, noisy aggression, as stomping riffs trade off randomly squealing chords. And the intensity levels rise, as the drums rev up and gnashing riffs tear and rage around those churning beats.
Unfortunately, while the beginning and end are engaging, the bit in the middle picks out an unusual rhythm, and then keeps on picking out that same rhythm, until you're completely sick of it. It's a great song, but it'll test your patience.
'Gwant' may begin in the sparse fashion that's usually dubious territory for Kong but, in this instance, starting off simple allows them to build to a dramatic high.
Kicking off with creepy, Horror-movie synths, 'Gwant' then lurches into jerking riffs that are broken up with bursts of squealy sound effects, giving the impression that 'Gwant' is a song struggling to break free. The anticipation of this eventual breaking out, will keep you riveted.
When 'Gwant' does finally erupt, it's surprisingly conventional metal-tinged punk. The gnashing guitar lines, jet-black bass and shouty punk vocals are the sound of Kong's demented energy harnessed into something that'll lure you into its madness, rather than repel you.
Following an introduction of random mutterings, 'Count To Nine' proves to be an even more conventional take on the Kong experience. Its spiky punk riffs and rumbling drum licks are pretty straightforward, in comparison to the rest of this album, but they're guaranteed to draw you in.
Kong evolves smoothly from this starting point. At first, the guitars and the drums keep trailing off into a whining, purposefully 'duff'-sounding chord, before the drums rise to the front of the mix and the riffs speed up, in a headlong dash for the finish line.
'Count To Nine' is the easiest and most enjoyable song on 'Snake Magnet.'
It feels inevitable that Kong should dabble in electronica, and this is exactly what they do with 'Good Graphics.' Five minutes of every electronic effect you can imagine, beep, buzz and whirl around an unobtrusive, shuffling drumbeat. It would be ambient rock, if it wasn't so squeaky and abrasive. While it's masterfully put together, 'Good Graphics' is lacking the aggression and intensity of the rest of this album.
Album highlight 'Nih' seizes the listener right from the opening notes, as Magpie gnashes his teeth and makes what basically amounts to random noises, but those noises describe a hooky melody that'll get fixed firmly in your head. 'Nih' then follows in 'Gwant's footsteps, as the riffs are broken up by squeaky guitar-shunting and Magpie's foaming-at-the-mouth vocals, before the song lets rip and becomes one long howl.
During the last minute, Kong really go for the listener's throat, with one-hundred-mile-an-hour guitar grinding and shrapnel vocals that'll make you desperate to experience Kong live - just to see whether Magpie really can make those sort of noises.
As is often the case with 'Snake Magnet,' 'Nih' shakes itself apart during the closing bars, and this chaotic, shambolic sound isn't almost as terrifying as Kong in single-minded rage mode. But, unnecessary end-section mucking about aside, 'Nih' is a shot of nerve-flaying, extreme punk.
Eight minute long album-closer 'K(l)ong' opens in surprisingly delicate fashion, as simple guitar picking bounces off the percussion. It's a catchy enough exchange, but, with this twenty-odd seconds of music repeated for over three minutes, 'K(l)ong' is likely to have all but the most patient of souls hitting the 'fast forward' button.
After roughly three minutes, Kong begin throwing the odd guitar crunch into the mix, but don't get too excited, as it takes a further two minutes for those bits of riffing to blend into a stream of groaning guitars and thumping drumbeats.
That this song is one hell of a slog is undeniable. It's technically impressive, and its meticulously put-together soundscape evolves effortlessly and organically. However, although it's one you can certainly admire from a technical point of view, it isn't really something you can enjoy, which is a neat summary of this album.
'Snake Magnet' is probably more likely to find a home with people who make music, rather than those who just listen to it. At its most angular, it's only possible to appreciate the originality and musicianship, although there are moments where Kong put the pedal to the metal, and deliver no fills punk aggression that's good, hair-raising fun. Safe to say that if you liked Castrovalva, Chickenhawk or have a passing affection for Pulled Apart By Horses, then you'll love this.

The Rub
It's The MF'n Remix #2 CD
↳ party rocking mix of exclusive mash ups
Headed by the three man crew of Ayres, Eleven & Cosmo Baker, the Rub guys are back with an even bigger cast of friends and a wider range of remixes for the part two of their idea of a remix album. The first volume was one of our best selling cds of the last year (still going strong), so you guys should already know the deal with this. While there's a healthy amount of pure party material here, the selection goes well beyond the drunken kingdom of knee-jerk mashup, featuring original remixes (check Paul Nice's work on "Devil's Pie"), stuff that won't necessarily work in the club but sounds great (Dead Prez over "Cadillac On 22s"!), strange experimentation, etc. Includes remixes by the above mentioned plus A-Trak, Diplo, Low Budget, Mark Ronson, Nick Catchdubs, Max Glazer, DJ Platurn, Crooked, and Brendan Bring Em. 27 tracks, recommended.

Who would have thunk it. Dykes can organise a fabulous party.
Actually, no surprise. They have done it for a few years now and we have attended our friends' party every year.
Fortunately they live close by, in East St Kilda. R and my banter about who was the nominated driver went to hell in a handbag once we sampled the lethal punch.
We laughed, we talked, we played games, we et, we drank...we had a lot of fun.
It was not too late when we left. We dumped stuff in my car and walked along Alma Road to Hotham street to get a cab. One came soon enough. The driver was not interactive, but that is ok. We wanted transport home and he provided it efficiently.
Dyke friend's brother who we thought homophobic is now very friendly. He might be just a wee bit too well groomed for a straight bloke. Not a nostril hair showing, not a hair in the ears. Maybe his wife groomed him. But it would not be the first time I have mistaken a latent homo for a homophobic straight bloke. He told me a horrible story about his work on reconstruction of the Monash Freeway. I will tell you at some point.
Next morning, instead of driving to pick up my car, we caught the tram and walked through the very busy and quite pleasant Alma Park to collect my car. In my boot I discovered desert packs of trifle and pavlova. I forgot I put them there. I had one today and very nice it was.
It must be three years ago, maybe four, when the late Dame M came to the girls' christmas party.
Ah, she was such fun, especially after a drink or ten. I can imagine her playing a game of stick Santa's balls on.

We may not know what happens to us after we shuffle off this mortal coil, but the movies have done a fairly good job of imagining every possibility. In fact, cinema has taken the afterlife and run with it in every direction, creating versions of heaven, hell and everything in between that are hilarious, frightening, bizarre and beautiful.
With the release of R.I.P.D. right around the corner, it's time to look back at some of our favorite cinematic afterlives. Some come from classic films. Others are only a few weeks old. However, they all have left an undeniable impression on our moviegoing consciousness.
The Movie: A Matter of Life and Death (1946)
The Plot: David Niven is a British Air Force pilot whose plane is shot down during World War II, forcing him to jump without a parachute. Oops.
The Afterlife: Connected to our world by a massive escalator, this black-and-white afterlife feels like a strange combination of subdued social club and ancient temple. It's droll and oh-so-very British -- everyone may be dead, but they're staying calm and carrying on.
Would We Want to Spend Eternity There?: It may not look as exciting as the Technicolor real world, but we can think of far less pleasant places to spend the rest of existence.
The Movie: Defending Your Life (1991)
The Plot: After dying in a sudden accident, an advertising executive (played by writer-director Albert Brooks) finds himself in Judgment City, a sort of Purgatory for recently deceased souls where you plead your case that you've earned the right to move onto a higher plane.
The Afterlife: Only a filmmaker as neurotic as Albert Brooks would imagine the afterlife as a place where you literally have to to go to court and defend your life's actions to the Almighty in order to escape your earthly cares.
Would We Want to Spend Eternity There?: It all seems pleasant enough, but the movie makes it perfectly clear that there remains a greater existence beyond Judgment City. So… nah.
The Movie: Beetlejuice (1988)
The Plot: When a couple is killed in a car accident, they find themselves haunting their own home and struggling with their new existence as ghosts. Eventually, they contact Beetlejuice for help and, well… things get a little crazy. You know all of this already because everyone has seen Beetlejuice. Right?
The Afterlife: If you thought navigating the overly bureaucratic physical world was a pain in the butt, just wait until you die! In Beetlejuice, being a ghost is a painfully dull experience and living in the underworld is like one long DMV visit. Once you get used to the fact that you're surrounded by dead people, it's just another public service populated by people who can't help you.
Would We Want to Spend Eternity There?: We can barely get our driver's license renewed without going crazy. No wonder ghosts are always so angry.
The Movie: Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (1997)
The Plot: The Monty Python comedy troupe's exploration of what it means to be alive is little more than a series of loosely connected sketches, with each segment tackling a different portion of someone's life. It's intermittently funny and bland, with some scenes striking gold and others striking… copper? Granite, maybe?
The Afterlife: It's like a garish Las Vegas hotel where dead people party and drink and have a good time. Naturally, this heaven also plays host to a slightly lousy lounge act, who performs the catchy number "Christmas in Heaven" while topless women in holiday outfits dance around him. This is easily the tackiest version of the afterlife to ever appear on film.
Would We Want to Spend Eternity There?: A nonstop party? Absolutely.
The Movie: Hellbound: Hellraiser II (1988)
The Plot: Psychiatric patient Kirsty Cotton's stories of pain-worshiping demons are seen as delusions. But her shrink knows the truth and has plans to solve the Lament Configuration and open a portal to the Cenobite Realm where he'll… well, let's just say that everything literally goes to Hell and leave it at that.
The Afterlife: Even if you took away all of the hideously deformed monsters, S&M demons and the godlike entity known as the Leviathan, this realm would still be one of the worst places to ever come out of the horror genre.
Would We Want to Spend Eternity There?: No. Nope. Never. Uh-uh. Few cinematic Hells have been this horrific.
The Movie: What Dreams May Come (1998)
The Plot: A loose adaptation of Richard Matheson's novel of the same name, What Dreams May Come follows a doctor (Robin Williams) who dies in a car accident and arrives in Heaven—which is paradise, except his grief-stricken wife commits suicide… and goes to Hell! Our hero doesn't take this development lying down and decides to journey to the other side to rescue his true love.
The Afterlife: It's colorful and lovely and completely cloying, but it's one of the few cinematic eternities that presents itself as being a truly ideal and perfect world.
Would We Want to Spend Eternity There: For sure.
The Movie: This Is the End (2013)
The Plot: SPOILERS AHEAD. In Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's hilarious comedy, a group of movie stars (all playing themselves) take refuge in James Franco's luxurious home while the biblical apocalypse rages outside. In between all of the jokes about about penises, the film actually finds time for its cast to question whether or not they're good people and why they didn't get sucked up to Heaven when the end of the world came. Of course, all of this is ultimately setup for for the final moments of the film…
The Afterlife: …where Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel and Craig Robinson arrive in the afterlife (the rest of the crew wasn't so lucky). Officially in the good graces of God, the three friends discover that yes, heaven really is place where everyone wears white, has a halo and hangs out on clouds. It's also a place where everything you wish for can come true. Oh, and no one will judge you for liking the Backstreet Boys.
Would We Want to Spend Eternity There?: Most definitely! If there is a Heaven, we hope it's something like this.
The Movie: Enter the Void (2009)
The Plot: Enter the Void follows a young American expatriate living in Tokyo who is gunned down in a drug deal gone wrong. It follows his spirit as he checks in on his friends and family, flashes back to every major event in his life and ultimately embarks on a surreal journey toward reincarnation. Depending on your personal tastes, it's either an amazing experience or the worst movie ever.
The Afterlife: Less of a destination and more of a pit stop while on the road to a new life, the afterlife of Enter the Void is surreal, nightmarish and, on occasion, beautiful. It's not a literal place, but rather a space of time where you analyze your life's mistakes before reincarnation. If you think this sounds a little complicated, just wait until you've actually seen the film.
Would We Want to Spend Eternity There?: We won't be here long enough to decide.

Shaving Down At The Olympics Marathon Swim
July 30th, 2012 | Beijing Olympics marathon | Comments Off on Shaving Down At The Olympics Marathon Swim

But what do open water swimmers do?
It depends. One size does not fit ...

Unlocker Alternative unlock map in 3 min.
Have you let FIU (latest version) work till it closes itself? It needs almost 10 minutes to unlock this big map.Drag&drop the img in it and wait. (backup your file first)
FIU and Unlocker Alternative are almost the same in unlocking-
Unlocker Alternative unlock map in 3 min.
Both use same procedure....and they are the results of co-operation
Usually this is not enough disk space error.....if you have 2GB map you may need over 4gb free disk space...so make bigger virtual disk for your virtual windows
Last edited by pietu; 26th June 2011 at 08:38 PM.
Ok. Native Windows solved the problem and the map works in Oregon 550t without problems. Maybe I should try WINE next time, instead of virtual Windows?
Yes, I have also been thinking about disk space. I have freed up upto 4.5GB of disk space (yes, the disk limit is too small :-S) in the virtual drive, but obviously it wasn't enough. I processed the image on the mapped main drive (which is large enough) but maybe the unlockers use temporary space on the system drive only...?
Ok. It seems that searching for addresses does not work for me (Oregon 550t, unlocked image).
as said in post one this version works fine in newer devices like nuvi 37xx and 2xxx only , in other devices use normal CNE
Will this work on a 1490T ?

Significant changes are in the works for privately owned boat houses and piers on many Arkansas Game and Fish Commission lakes.
A new land use policy has been drafted by the Fisheries Division of the AGFC.
It will be presented to the agency's commissioners at their July meeting, and if approved, the new rules will go into effect Jan. 1. Persons holding permits to structures on AGFC land around the lakes have been notified by mail of the proposed new rules.
The policy is for all AGFC lakes in the state, but Mike Armstrong, AGFC's fisheries chief, said, "Lake Conway has by far the most structures around it. There are close to a thousand structures (boat houses, docks and piers) on Conway."
Of the many AGFC lakes in the state, 25 have riparian structures, Armstrong said, meaning boat houses, docks and piers owned by private citizens owning adjacent land.
Under the proposed new land use policy, all structure permits will increase from $5 to $10 per year.
Metal markers or placards with the permit numbers and a registration sticker must be purchased for a one-time fee of $25. The stickers must be placed onto the structure and will change colors each year, similar to vehicle licenses. These will be for all AGFC lakes. Highlights of the statewide land use policy:
* Permits are required for boat houses, bank stabilizing, dredging for boat access, piers, herbicide and pesticide use and deepening the shoreline.
* No permits are required for non-elevated walkways, clearing brush, fish attractors, removing dead timber and planting trees and shrubs.
* Prohibited on AGFC land are septic systems, irrigation systems, fences, discharges, storage sheds, animal pens, burning, private boat ramps, permanent party barges, water wells, gardens, cutting trees, dog houses, satellite dishes, livestock, storage of personal property, seawalls or retaining walls and concrete slabs and patios.
* Shoreline stabilizing work is allowed with approval of the district fisheries biologist, but this will not include cutting into the shoreline, digging canals, building walls or constructing swimming beaches.
* New boat houses, docks and piers must conform to uniform plans that are available from AGFC. Existing fishing piers and boat houses that presently comply with the existing policy will be grandfathered into the new policy -- they will not need to comply with the new construction specifications unless undergoing a major renovation. The plans are free.

Test before concealing. Haga una prueba antes de tapar. Tester avant de masquer.
I am looking at a Fernco pipe connector that I recently had to purchase at Home Depot to fix a sump pump and underground drainage system at my mother's house. Oh, lest you think I am a plumber or have a degree in Electrical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon, like my one sister, let me be perfectly clear. I have been to Home Depot five times in my life; I prefer small, quaint hardware stores. I get overwhelmed by all the possibilities of stuff they sell to fix everything under the sun, moon, and dying stars. They do get major points for helpful customer service and friendliness however.
But I have had to learn many things in a short amount of time that I once believed only men could do. Like relighting a gas water heater, not as easy as it sounds, especially in the dark. Assessing gutters and the conditions of roof shingles, when I'm afraid of heights. Replacing shower heads, putting electrical plug covers on, switching clocks and lights to the upper plug socket. I do none of this because my mother complains; it is after the EE sister has visited and had trouble sleeping due to a dripping shower or clocks weren't the correct time. I've fixed the garage door opener, cleaned drains with environmentally safe products, re-programmed the dishwasher my sister insisted was not fixable. You would laugh at the temporary solution I used before buying the Fernco pipe connector, but it held through the hurricane and the snow melting: I cut a coffee can lid circle of plastic and duct taped the heck out of it, to prevent the prior Fountain of Youth that was shooting water four feet up and right next to the house foundation.
Alas, today and tomorrow, rain is expected so I must put off that project and spend the day talking with my mother, eating whatever she gives me, and doing what she breezily suggested this morning on her way out to exercise class and a haircut, "Just keep doing your reading and writing. It's not much of a day for anything else." So I listened to my mother's advice and read about how to fix French drains with problems on various websites. Even Wikipedia, where Jimmy Wales is back with a bad haircut and looking like Donnie Wahlberg wearing stern make-up and fake laugh lines.
And I wandered, as is the way of internet exploration to the page of Brian Kernighan, who no longer sports the long, frizzy hair I recall from meeting him with one son regarding applying to Princeton. He wore jeans and had a messy office; insisted we call him Brian, then after an hour said, "you don't want to come here." And he turned out to be right. This was before his October 2009 "Leap in and Try Things" interview on "Harmony at Work Blog" in which he said, "My advice is to leap in and try things. If you succeed, you can have enormous influence. If you fail, you have still learned something, and your next attempt is sure to be better for it." I agree with the leaping, trying, failing, still learning, next attempt perhaps being better; I'm not so sure of the enormous influence part. But he's in another league; I just fix broken things to the best of my ability.

Police in Florida have released video they hope will lead to the identification of a person of interest in the slaying last month of a Toronto couple.
Rochelle Wise, 66, a popular former day camp director and educator and her husband, David Pichosky, 71, were found dead on Jan. 10 in their winter home in Hallandale Beach, Fla.
Capt. Sonia Quinones says a woman was captured on a neighbour's video surveillance camera walking to the rear of the Pichosky-Wise home on Jan. 9.
Quinones says in a release that the woman was carrying an item when she walked to the rear of building, but returned to the front area empty handed.
Wise and Pichosky were scheduled to meet neighbours for lunch, and when they did not hear from the couple, the concerned neighbours used a spare key to check the home and found the couple inside.
Police say the cause of death is still under investigation.
Wise was the director of Crestwood Valley Day Camp in Toronto from 1990 to 2005 and was a preschool vice-principal at Bialik Hebrew Day School.

stackable washer/dryer electric
Model Number: DS9904 Brand: Maytag Age: More than 10 years
Hello, I have a 1997 Maytag Stackable DS9904 Washer/Dryer, white membrane switch controller unit, no knobs...electric. The Dryer Heater quit working after 17 years of great service. Removed 45 deg. angled front cover. I removed and checked the Element: measure 11 ohms and see no opens, shorts, or wire discoloration. Checked the black round Thermo switches, left/ right side in rear. Both measure continuity, and what looks like 2 ceramic thermal resistor blocks, they show continuity also. I removed and tested in-circuit also, the Heater Element control Relay (on the right side) bottom coil leads show 22 volts on, zero off. I also see it physically activate thru plastic shell. So it tells me controller and relay seem to be working... I measure nothing across the 2 load wires [Thick Black/Brown ] during the Dry cycle...But it shows 108 vac during air fluff. is this suppose to be 220 vac? Did I lose a phase? Perhaps there's another Thermal ckt I have not found..? I see the Relay black wire runs to 220 Terminal block. (didn't remove cover) but the brown wire, I have not traced all the way inside the unit. Disappears behind a vent shroud.. Maytag changes the color to purple then brown again...bit irritating. I would like to order a schematic if one can be found. Related Models |
See inside of your appliance - diagrams and part photos for virtually every model. powered by AppliancePartsPros.com |
I cannot find any info on the given model number.
Please check it. I tried at AppliancePartsPros, Sears parts and the Whirlpool/Maytag site and nothing comes up. I am assuming this is a north American unit. Unplug the unit and check power at the wall receptacle Should be: L1 to Neutral = 120 volts L2 to Neutral = 120 volts L1 to L2 = 240 volts. Note that sometimes a breaker can loose half the line without tripping fully. Turn the breaker off then on. Often this is just something that happens and it is a one of or very rare event. Sometimes it is either a machine or a wiring problem.
Issue Solved
I went into a junction box where the 220 v a.c. feed was in my 1949 House.
Measured 120 volts. I found a wire nut had lost grip on the white phase wire. It visibly looked o.k. but was not connected physically upon closer inspection. Re-installed wire nut. Measured 220 v a.c. Turned on my Dryer, wha-la, heater element started glowing...cool. Guess I tore apart my Dryer for nothing and should've checked simple things. |
