Difficult to believe as it may be, just 25 years ago Ride found themselves sitting pretty in the top tens of both the UK singles and albums chart. While not the most commercially unfriendly band of the day by any stretch of the imagination, their achievements still raised a few eyebrows back then, not to mention a hail of celebratory cheers up and down the land from the indie and underground fraternity. After all, it isn't every day that a guitar heavy mantra clocking in at eight minutes gatecrashes a top ten containing such gems as The Pasadenas and Curtis Stigers that particular week. Entering the charts as the second highest new entry in the lofty position of number nine just six places behind Michael Jackson's 'Remember The Time' - indeed The Jesus & Mary Chain's 'Reverence' also cracked the final ten that week one place below - 'Leave Them All Behind' has arguably become Ride's signature piece. The moment they left the shoegaze tag behind once and for all. Eighteen months earlier, the band had released their debut long player, Nowhere, to a fanfare of universal acclaim. Even today still heralded as one of the most inspired records of its generation, most bands would have been daunted at the prospect of following such a near perfect artifact as this. But then Ride never were a band that rested on their laurels. Despite Rob Newman's occasionally humorous send-up sketch on The Mary Whitehouse Experience, their focus and determination could never be faulted. So, less than a year after Nowhere's release, work had already begun on its successor. Whereas Nowhere was borne out of a shared love of My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus & Mary Chain and The House Of Love, Going Blank Again would see a more diverse range of influences enter the melting pot. Recorded towards the back end of 1991 with Alan Moulder, whose previous credits had included the Glider and Tremelo EPs for My Bloody Valentine and the Mary Chain's Automatic long player, Going Blank Again was unleashed in March the following year with both critics and consumers alike falling head over heels for its box of delights. Comprising ten songs in total, it's a beguiling affair for those like myself previously turned onto Ride's effluent charm by those flawless first four EPs and the innocent beauty cum maelstrom of Nowhere. And yet also compelling, not least in the way every single piece offers something new on each subsequent listen. Take the aforementioned 'Leave Them All Behind' for example, already a firm favourite due to Andy Bell and Mark Gardener's harmonising incandescently over guitars that resemble successive tidal waves crashing against the shore. However, it's the often understated rhythm section of Steve Queralt and Loz Colbert that really come to the fore here, driving the song along at its widescreen core, occasionally traversing into dub territories before Gardener and Bell declare "I don't care about the truth!" in the coda. The term masterpiece is bandied about far too easily nowadays but for eight glorious minutes or so in 1992, this was as close as the UK independent scene ever got to creating its own 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. And so it continues throughout the record. 'Twisterella' arguably represents Ride's finest three minutes from a pop perspective (although it could be said of the early singles 'Chelsea Girl' and 'Like A Daydream'), while 'Not Fazed' sees the Oxford four-piece reliving their wildest Marquee Moon fantasies. 'Chrome Waves' meanwhile samples Massive Attack's 'Unfinished Sympathy', its string segment and laidback aura owing more to Bristol's burgeoning trip hop collective than the Home Counties so-called scene that celebrates itself Ride were allegedly spawned from. Duelling guitars - check out Bell's mesmeric solo in the final third - and a melody that accentuates yet pre-dates Britpop by a good two years characterises 'Mouse Trap', another stark diversion from what had previously been regarded as the accepted norm with Ride. Indeed it's only on 'Time Of Her Time', situated at Going Blank Again's halfway mark, that Ride come close to the reverb heavy overload of their debut. Influenced by Terry Bickers of The House Of Love while not sounding a million miles away from his 'Destroy The Heart' opus, its place here perhaps a final sign-off to Nowhere's dense soundscapes. Another sample, this time from Bruce Robinson's 1987 adaptation of 'Withnail & I', introduces 'Cool Your Boots', a reflective, and somewhat sprawling opus that serves as 'Leave Them All Behind''s slightly paralytic younger sibling. 'Making Judy Smile' also doffs its cap towards Britpop, albeit the original Sixties era that started the ball rolling. It's on the dreamy, dub heavy, two-songs-in-one 'Time Machine' where Ride really come into their own. Imagine King Tubby and Kevin Shields sat at the controls while Paul Simon's recording Graceland and you're halfway there. Having already flirted with similar experiments in sound on 1991's Today Forever EP, 'Time Machine' is yet another example of a band at a creative peak they would struggle to repeat again. 'OX4' closes the record in a psychedelic swirl reminiscent of Hawkwind at their In Search Of Space finest, Gardener and Bell both managing to sound errant yet wistful in their delivery. The album was re-issued with four bonus tracks taken from the 'Leave Them All Behind' and 'Twisterella' singles in 2001, and all four remain for this twentieth anniversary edition too. While 'Going Blank Again' the song didn't make Going Blank Again the album first time round, its symphonic urgency resonates here, particular against 'Howard Hughes's more sombre nature and the plodding if partially incisive 'Stampede', possibly the weakest track of the bunch. The ten-minute instrumental 'Grasshopper' closes the audio element, at the time resembling nothing else on this earth, even though the likes of Godspeed! You Black Emperor would soon be churning out textured pieces of similar magnificence in their sleep. What radiates through Going Blank Again from start to finish is how the record's never dated badly. If anything, it carries the same amount of succulent vitality when first released, its contents still refreshingly relevant now as then. And then of course there's the bonus DVD, Live At Brixton. Essentially it's a greatest hits set recorded on 27th March 1992 and originally released in VHS format later that same year. It captures Ride at their diligent, if unspectacular best. Highlights from their first four EPs - check out the double whammy of 'Unfamiliar' and 'Like A Daydream' early on in the set - congeal with choice picks from Nowhere (the title track, 'Vapour Trail' and 'Dreams Burn Down' standing out emphatically) and the majority of Going Blank Again, the complicated arrangement of 'Time Machine' unsurprisingly omitted from the live set. As an added incentive to purchase what is already a must-own record anyway, the twentieth anniversary edition of Going Blank Again is an essential addition to anyone's collection. So what are you waiting for..?

More than year ago, Kevin and I began to plan for the timing of my retirement. Since he had already retired more than a few years ago and because he loves his life as retiree, he was ready for me to take this life-changing step. About 9 months ago we decided that an extended trip would be a great way to celebrate the next phase of our life. The reasoning escapes me right now but we landed on Central America as a destination.
Six Months and Counting:
Then came the difficult step of actually making the commitment. About six months ago I told my boss that I would plan for March 1st – a date with no good rationale however it was as good as any other date. (Leaving for vacation on March 3 was carefully thought out, however, for all of the reasons you can imagine). A six month notice would give my boss enough time to recruit for a replacement and personally I thought it would give me enough time to do the personal work that goes along with making such a huge personal change. My sense was that I needed to prepare in the same way as one prepares for other major life changes such as having children or being an "empty-nester".
Withdrawal from the Addiction to Work:
Withdrawal from a lifetime of professional work would require me to tackle the difficult process of making an identify shift. While I knew I was ready to have more time to do the things I couldn't do as a full-time worker, my desires alone wouldn't guide me through the emotional aspects of this life transition. While I have experienced as least some level of addiction to the compelling and exciting aspects of my work, my desire to have "time" to enjoy life was a strong opposing force. I was ready to begin the process of "letting go" of my professional identify and the associated rewards.
Preparation: Big and Small
The following are some but certainly not all of the steps I have taken to prepare for the transition:
- Clothing: Because the type of clothing we wear can be viewed as a component of one's identify, approximately a year ago I begin to purchase less professional wear (especially suits) and have focused on wearing more casual clothing to work.
- After the close of each season, I gave away at least some professional clothing from that season.
- Professional reading and resources: About the time I announced my retirement date, I began to substantially reduce the amount of professional reading and acquisition of new professional knowledge. More often than any time in my career, I deleted informational email messages pushed to my account, especially if they were focused on acquiring new knowledge.
- Change in focus: Instead of focusing on being personally successful, my goal with staff in my work area was focused on helping them to go through a leadership transition. (This may have helped me more than it helped the staff).
- Living in 2 Worlds: For the past six months, I was conscious of the fact that I was living in two worlds – as if I was betraying my employer by having an affair with retirement. The world of "I really need to not care about this because I'm retiring" competed with "I am still in a job and while here, I need to do what is expected of me". These were rough waters to sail.
- Talk about Retirement: While it was difficult to discuss the excitement of retiring at work, because I have a number of friends and family members in the same age group, we spoke often about our plans to retire. Ed, John and Kathleen – 2 BIL's and good friend are retiring within days of me. Kathleen helped me to name and frame 'retirement grief" one experiences, just like any other loss we experience. Believing it would help my emotional journey, I saw a therapist for a single visit. As a person in the same age group as me, I could tell that she hadn't thought about this next phase of her life – in fact I think my discussion about retirement made her more anxious than I was. No need for a second visit with her. I bailed.
- Work Hours: To the degree possible, I have worked fewer hours in the past six months, and have done less work at home. While this was very difficult in a job with great demands on my time, it helped me to spend more time engaging in leisure activities. I found that the more time I had, the more I wanted.
No doubt there are many aspects of retirement which I've not prepared for such as how it will feel to not have a professional identity or what it will be like to not have the intellectual stimulation of which is derived from being with work colleagues. While I may not have prepared for all that is ahead, I am certainly ready to not get up and go to work five days a week as I've done for the past 40+ years.
A leisurely morning cup of Jo sounds good to me right now.

The emulator connects to the host PC through a standard parallel port (EPP/ECP supported for maximum speed). You then simply insert the appropiate pod into the target's memory socket (a DIP32 pod is included). The emulator is independent from the target microprocessor, and the emulation of every EPROM or FLASH memory (in DIP, PLCC, TSOP or PSOP package) is completely transparent and straightforward. The emulator uses, but does not come with, a 9-18 V DC 1A (unregulated) wall plug-in power supply with 2.1 mm pin-and-sleeve plug with positive center and sleeve as ground.
Real-time emulation (Live Accessing) allows the host PC to transparently view/edit the memory under emulation in real time, without affecting the target's memory access timings (no wait states inserted). Real-time emulation allows you, for example, to modify control variables (loop counter variables, timing constants, etc.) and look-up tables, or to simulate conditions that trigger external signals; all this in real time, while the target system is running.
The multiROM Emulator also features Virtual Terminal, a communication channel between the host PC and the target system which allows the latter to send messages to the former during the emulation, and vice versa. By simply accessing some dedicated multiROM locations, the target can send, while running, the content of its variables or whatever other text messages to the host PC; the Virtual Terminal messages are displayed in a dedicated user interface window. The emulator provides an output Reset signal that can be generated as needed. Additionally it can generate a trigger out signal (depending on memory access conditions specified in the user interface) that can be used by the target system. A trace buffer is also built in into the instruments.

The upcoming issue of Premiere magazine (France) has a new interview with Rob, and also includes a new still of Bella and Edward. See the rest of the stills.
Full translation (Rob's part) by RPLife where you can also read Kristen's interview.
Première : How long did it take to film both movies ?
RP: 8 months!
P: Not to quote her, but Kristen Stewart told us 6.
RP: I had to stay longer.
P: Were there some mornings when you got up and asked yourself: 'I can't believe we're still filming this movie.'?
RP: For sure, I mean we spent two months shooting in the same room in front of a huge green screen.
P: I hope it was the sex scene!
RP: Nope! This one we wrapped in a day. No, we had to film scenes where nothing happens. We were trapped in this green screen room with fake snow all over the floor and we spent our days barely saying a word, looking each other in the , trying to look as intense as possible.
P: Nobody told you you were part of an experiment?
RP: That's it exactly, 'We're going to put you in this green screen for 8 weeks, we'll see which one will break down first.'
P: Did Bill Condon come on set with his Oscar beneath his arm?
RP: No, that's not like him. But I don't think he realized what he got himself into. He's someone that doesn't stress much though or he's really good at hiding it!
It's funny, really. Everyone came to him screaming: 'Bill did you see this? It's nonsense!' He'd just look at them and say 'I know, it's crazy.' And the next second, he was gone.
P: It's a way like any other of solving problems.
RP: You should have seen him. 'I completely agree with you. It's a disaster.' And then he'd been gone for the rest of the day. Bill is hilarious and he put some of his sense of humor in the movie. The Twilight saga is not really known for its fun side but the previous directors seemed really attached to the angst aspect. The beginning of the last movie is the complete opposite: light, relaxing…
P: The first images of the trailer looked indeed bright and sunny.
Bill is an excellent screenwriter as well. Like Chris Weitz, who was more daring with New Moon. He wasn't scared of drifting away from the book sometimes. In any other movie, when a line doesn't work, we change it during filming so it flows better. But it wasn't always possible with Twilight. If I was ever uncomfortable with a line, I was told 'You have to say this. It's in the book!' Bill didn't hesitate, 'We'll adjust, it's my movie after all'… *laughs*
P: You just made millions of fans angry.
RP: Too bad. It just reminds me of something I saw not too long ago, when I stumbled into a picture of a girl who had the famous line 'And the lion fell in love with the lamb' tattooed on her. I looked at it twice and she had 'And the lamb fell in love with the lion' instead. Can you imagine that, having a movie line ~engraved on your skin and it's not even the right one?
P: In the first three movies, it's always about repressing sexuality. In this one, it's party time: midnight baths, sex scenes where the bed breaks, a rushed pregnancy… I don't know if I can handle all of this at once.
RP: It scared me a little too, to be honest. When I heard about the last book and was said: 'You'll see, they sleep together all the time, it's rough sometimes too. Jacob falls in love with a baby'… I was dumbfounded. Summarized like this, you'd think it was the most screwed up story ever. But when you read it, it's not as shocking/scandalous. For those who don't know the books, I'm sure this movie is going to be by far the most interesting of the saga. We're gone from the teenaged fantastic genre and enter a weird drama that ventures into horror at times. There are scenes were Bella looks like an alien. When the baby eats her from inside, she looks so thin and ghastly. Kristen had to wear this horrible makeup and when I'd see her come on set, I'd ask the crew: ''Are you sure we're filming Twilight? Isn't it supposed to be harmless and PG-13?'
P: I'm sure David Cronenberg is going to be pleased. 'Robert just filmed the adaption of Cosmopolis by Don DeLillo.)
RP: I think he's going to enjoy certain scenes, like the one where I open her up by biting thorugh her placenta. It wouldn't have played up in one of his feature films, he would have filmed it with a close-up of course.
P: With Breaking Dawn, I think you will attract a new audience. Beginning with those who will want to see it for the twisted plot.
RP: They're going to get their money's worth. It's hilarious, No movie this size dares taking those kind of risks. But since the craziest scenes are a big part of the story going forward, it was impossible to not have them included in the film. We would look at each other everyday and say' I think we don't have a choice, we have to film those weird stuff.' There was no way we would tone it down.
P: So you became an in 'oral Caesarean' expert?
RP: It was without a doubt the funniest thing I ever had to do. I'd raise my head up and I was covered with cottage cheese or whatever substance they put in there. Before filming the scene, Stephenie Meyer, a midwife, Kristen and I sat down to talk to a doctor to decide where I was supposed to bite if this situation would ever occur in real life. The doctor looked at us a bit puzzled and said: 'I don't think you could ever do this in real life.' *laughs*
P: I'm getting more and more excited to see this movie…
RP: I'm eager too. I'm probably going to die laughing watching it.
P: Stop me if I'm wrong but I feel like the hysteria surrounding the saga is dying down, that you can now lead sort of a normal life…
RP: Not yet, no. In LA I have at least 40 seconds from the moment I arrive somewhere, before I get asked for my autograph. It's Twitter's fault. If this website didn't exist, I'd be in peace. When I cross a glance at someone, they hurry to get their phone out. I know perfectly well that I'm screwed and that I'm going to spend a big part of my day shaking people off. It's frustrating.
P: Is it true that you caused a riot in Brazil, when you filmed the honeymoon?
Yes, we did cause one at the airport that almost got us arrested. I still don't know why but it was kind of scary. The immigration guy told me: 'You're in my country, we're gonna play by my rules.' 'Whatever you want just let me leave your airport.' *laughs*
P: How was it like on set on the last day of filming Breaking Dawn, when you had to say goodbye to 4 years of Twilight?
We were in Canada for the last day of shooting with the entire crew. A normal day on the set of Breaking Dawn, we were shooting at night, it was freezing and raining… When the first assistant announced the end with his clapperboard, everybody locked themselves up in their trailer without even having a last drink. But my last day, strictly speaking, came a bit later and it was amazing. Part of the crew got back together to film additional shots in the Caribbean. It was just Kristen and I, no worries… We were shooting in the sea so I didn't have to have makeup on or wear my contacts. It was so hot, at the end of the day we all went out for cocktails on the beach, watching the sun rise. I then asked myself why we didn't do this in those four years. Every difficult moment just vanished.

So what's new?
At the time of writing, 48 hours after I submitted the reply and 24 hours after I asked why he was zapping my reply and reminding him that I had saved it, CMI's climate zealot John Hartnett is STILL silently censoring me - for attempting to reply to his latest disingenuous response.
THIS is the conversation:
http://johnhartnett.org/2015/10/22/glob ... years-ago/
THIS is my reply to him which he is trying to hide from everyone for reasons unknown other than that, presumably, he can think of no further rational response he could make:
"There IS correlation between rising temperatures since 1970 and increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere. Your reply about 'cooling decades' does NOT address my comment. You are being wilfully incorrect. Your position is unscientific. You falsely insinuate that of 'my' position - which of course is NOT just 'my' position. (I have saved this text.)"
PS at 7.55 pm - another hurricane moving over unusually warm seas and trying to get itself noticed by the international news media:

Bon Iver, a band that has positively exploded since the release of 2011's Bon Iver, named Pitchfork's best album of the year, has released the video for their latest single, "Towers."
If you were holding out hope that the video would provide any clarity as to what the song is about- you don't know Justin Vernon well enough.
To illustrate a track that has been rumored to be about everything from a college dormitory to losing belief in the existence of fairy-tale love, Vernon sends an old man walking through the forest carrying two mysterious objects made of sticks (a dream catcher? a net? a tower?). The man makes his way to the ocean where he paddles out to massive wooden structures that crumble into the sea at the end of the clip.
Though the song may still be unclear (both lyrically and in meaning), the video, directed by NABIL, is a beautiful piece of art.
Watch it, below:

COVID 19 UPDATE: We are pleased to announce that all 15 PMT Stores across the UK are Covid Secure and are now open. MORE INFO.
The story of Paul Reed Smith takes us back to the early 1970's. Paul at the time was a budding musician and a struggling college student. Back at that time money was short for the Smith family, while many students had their parents paying for expensive guitars, amps and PA systems, Paul did not share this luxury. Instead, he set out to build a guitar for himself from spare pieces of wood found in the basement of his college art department.
For Paul it was a case of function over form. Paul constructed his first solid body guitar in 1975 with the guidance of his music instructor. He took on board the lessons he had learnt from his tutor and soon dropped out of college altogether to pursue a career in music and guitar building.
After dropping out of college Paul began performing in various bands and opened up his first small workshop repairing guitars in Annapolis Maryland, USA. From 1976 right until 1985 Paul was producing just a single guitar each month. Back then one of Pauls marketing methods consisted of approaching roadies at gigs and demanding the guitars be given to the bands backstage to showcase.
Early customers of Smith's custom builds, some costing $2,000, included Peter Frampton, Ted Nugent, Al Di Meola and Howard Leese of the band Heart. Carlos Santana, now one of PRS's long-time endorsers, was a tougher sell. Santana had Smith build him four guitars before he was willing to endorse Smith as a gifted guitar maker.
While Gibson and Fender struggled to compete with the likes of Kramer, Jackson, Ibanez and other guitar importers, Paul and his small group of employees saw an opportunity to expand and went for it. In late 1984 Paul began approaching retails to showcase his guitars in the hopes of building enough pre-orders to expand his operation. Through pre-orders and a hefty investment from businessman and investor Warren Esanu, PRS raised $500,000 and moved production to a larger factory in Annapolis.
Smith took a page from Gibson's book and focused on the instruments playability but also aesthetics. Even from his early days as a builder, Paul used superior woods and even added beautiful touches such as the 'bird' inlays which would later become a defining feature of PRS guitars.
Smith met former Gibson president and CEO Ted McCarty in the mid-'80s, and the elder man would serve as a mentor to Smith and a consultant to PRS. The company debuted its popular McCarty model in 1994. It wasn't long after that PRS began producing all of their hardware in the shop such as locking tuners, bridges and more. In 1991 PRS released its first 'Dragon'. An expertly inlayed guitar which looked arguably more beautiful than any other guitar on the planet. If people were ignoring PRS until then, they weren't now.
In 2013 PRS introduced their mid-priced, US-made S2 line of guitars. Built in the USA with the affordability closer to the range of the satin finished, Korean-made SE line. Smith becomes passionate when talking about the current state of the guitar-making business, where there's more competition than ever. Buyers need to decide what guitar makers they will trust, he says.
"Trust that it stays in tune, plays in tune, the frets are in the right place, things are sticking, that it's easy to play, you can get a huge variety of gorgeous tones out of it, it's comfortable, it doesn't weigh too much, it doesn't smell bad, it holds up over time, it doesn't need a repairman next week, that stuff is really important."
PRS now produce over 1000 guitars every month plus a few dozen amps, acoustic guitars and imports. The Korean SE line produce roughly 2000 guitars per month and are a best seller for PRS due to their uncompromising sound and impressive price point.
Today PRS stand toe to toe with the biggest names in the guitar manufacturing business. Artists who use PRS guitars today include Carlos Santana, Mark Tremonti, Alex Lifeson, Dave Navarro, Zach Myers, Orianthi and Brent Mason.
Here at PMT House of Rock we offer the largest selection of PRS guitars in the UK. All of which are offered with a 0% finance option or buy now pay later scheme. If you're looking for a world class, high-end electric guitar but want to avoid the nor, be sure to check out PRS guitars. Once you play one, you may struggle to choose anything else!
PRS guitars started life as the obsession of one Paul Reed Smith, seeing a gap in the market for quality instruments that took their cues from vintage vibe but built to the highest modern standards. Helping raise the bar for electric guitars and putting awesome tone back on the agenda in the 80's.
The Custom range are still built in much the same way as Paul's very first solid bodies that he took to NAMM looking for his first customers. Jaw dropping finishes, patterned fretboards and a distinctive balance of retro flavour and power in the pickup voicing. PMT carry a huge range of Custom 22 and custom 24 guitars in our stores and you really need to see these beauties in the flesh, plugged into a nice crunchy valve amp. For those who want a taste of PRS but don't quite have the budget for a Custom we also stock lots of S2 and SE range for a more wallet-friendly option.
Starting out with such professional standards it's no surprise that many artists have chosen PRS over the years. Mark Tremonti, Paul Allender, Carlos Santana, Dave Navarro and countless guitarists in the hard rock/metal scene have adopted them for their speed, looks and power.
As one of the main PRS stockists in the UK and with stores all around the country PMT are the top choice to make a visit and try some high-end guitar goodness.

I was indoctrinated with catholocism in my early years to teen years. I also was indoctrinated with supernatural / occult / paranormal beliefs from middle school through my twenties. The occult has scared the crap out of me since I was a child and my family would play the ouija board, tell me there were poltergeists in the house and think they saw ghosts. When I grew up those fears were reinforced by psychics, healers, etc. who told me I had demons haunting me because they said my family…Continue

Pop superstar Kylie Minogue will star in a one-off dark comedy on British TV as she steps away from music to focus on acting.
A representative for the "Spinning Around" hit maker announced earlier this month that Minogue will be "taking a bit of a break" from the charts to return to her first love of acting.
The decision comes as she parts way with her manager of 25 years, Terry Blamey, and she has now filmed a quirky new project for Sky's Playhouse Presents series.
She will star in "Hey Diddle Dee," a comedy based on pop artist Andy Warhol, which is directed by Marc Warren.
Minogue says, "When the script was sent to me, I knew instinctively I wanted to be part of this project. Marc has created a beautiful, quirky story."
Idris Elba, Anna Friel and Matt Smith will also appear in episodes of Playhouse Presents.

据澳大利亚新闻网报道,保罗(Paul)和克里斯汀⋅麦克劳德(Christeen McLeod)是家住在新南威尔士的一对夫妇,二人从1993年便开始在塔里(Taree)经营一家专门为考拉设置的公益避难所。目前,在夫妇家里共居住着24只受到救助的考拉。
根据评估数据,约有350只考拉在麦觉理港地区的大火中丧生。上周末,救援人员在此区域内发现16只受伤的考拉,并将它们紧急送往医院进行--禁止词语--。由于山火肆虐,麦克劳德夫妇和被救助的动物们未来都面临着挑战。他们希望考拉能够恢复健康并重返家园,然而大火给考拉栖息地带来的重大破坏,使这一希望变得非常渺茫。(海外网-李萌 实习编辑-胡晓琳)
Recently, Australian wildfires continue to rage, threatening the living environment of the "national treasure" koala. A new South Wales couple rescued 24 koalas injured in the fire. Australian media paid attention to their warm-hearted actions.
Paul and Christian McLeod, a couple living in New South Wales, have been operating a public welfare shelter in Taree since 1993, Australian News reported. At present, there are 24 rescued koalas living in the couple"s home.
In the couple"s home, plastic laundry baskets filled the lounge, in which the koalas lay to recuperate. Many of the koalas were badly burned in the area that was hit by the fire. The couple took good care of the "furry patients" and helped them clean up the ashes and apply the ointment.
On Sunday, an adult male koala arrived at the rescue center in a very bad condition. "This poor little fellow is going through the most painful ordeal," Mrs. McLeod told reporters. It"s severely burned - the hair is burned, the paws, nose and ears are burned. At that time, we gave it some sedatives and looked after its wounds. Now we are in the observation stage and it will take a long time to recover. "
At present, the state of New South Wales is in a state of emergency, 78 forest fires are raging, most areas are facing the threat of "catastrophic" fire, many of the wild koala"s natural habitats have been destroyed. The couple said the fire was unprecedented. "I"ve lived here for so many years, and I"ve never seen such a disaster before."
According to the assessment data, about 350 koalas were killed in the fire in the Port Macquarie area. Last weekend, rescuers found 16 injured koalas in the area and rushed them to hospital for treatment. Because of the wildfire, the McLeod and the rescued animals are facing challenges in the future. They hope that koala will be able to recover and return home. However, the great damage from the fire to koala"s habitat makes this hope very slim.

… a well geared AFK/Bot.
Yeah, this is kind of another post where I link back to an old post like I don't care about the color of your clothes, shake my head lolwut heirlooms in your Battleground? and wonder when people will ever learn.
I had a few experiences over the weekend that have brought my philosophy of gear being less relevant than attitude to the fore.
Like Raiding in Blues
There was a time, BG – Before Gevlon, where the concept of raiding, seriously, in less than the top of the line purples was scoffed at. "We all knew", despite protestations to the contrary that you had to have the best of the best to even be eligible to apply for a bench seat on a raiding guild, let alone raid.
You WILL leave your fun on hold until you have suffered on the sidelines for an appropriate amount of time. No you may not play with your friends until you match their ever escalating gear score!
40% down
Yet in BGs, people just shrug at AFKs and Bots in BGs… Yeah the report them AFK, but we have gotten to the point were we expect 10-20% of a PuG BG team to be AFK.
We were in a Twin Peaks recently where 4/10 "players" on our side were AFK or bots.
Yes we reported them.
Yes they were booted.
Yes they were replaced
But by then the game was lost.
Those Rogues
Don't get me started again on those
stealthy sneaky rogues from that recent Arathi Basin.
Prime ninja capping class, healer lockdown class, ninja AFK class.
Did they hurt us… I told you not to get me started.
That 80k Hunter
Over the weekend while playing with those Americans, we had one AB with an inappropriately geared Hunter.
Now admittedly 80k is pretty damn low compared to my 140k-ish cloth gear, but there was one fundamental and vitally important difference.
He was conscious and playing better than many in the BG. A living, breathing, observant undergeared player is a help in ways that a Bot or AFK can never be.
We were losing, there is no question about that, and losing brings on the rage.
Way too late in the game one player started calling for the Hunter's head, or at the very least that we AFK the hunter out of the BG.
What was interesting was the vocal response from several players in the BG, including myself of course.
I started with
Better a 80k Hunter that is playing than an AFK or Bot!
The reager wasn't satisfied with this, he would have preferred an AFK or Bot to the hunter… Not sure wtf the rager was on.
Another player then managed to beat me to my next point.
We had a lot more to worry about than an 80k hunter. We were being beaten miserably and we didn't have any AFKs or Bots – we were 100% active players, but we were playing like bots.
We could have replaced that hunter with the most geared player in the whole game, and assuming they didn't just AFK out in disgust, we wouldn't have turned that game around.
My Melodicdream and Pugnacious Priest.
Pugnacious Priest joined my guildies for a few randoms last week. One of my guildies was on her Warlock, finally raised to 85 after years languishing at level 70. She only had her old level 70 pvp gear and the bits and pieces she had picked up over those last 15 levels.
1st words out of PP's mouth were
She was right, but also so wrong. Our fresh lock was played by our Raid & RBG Pally heals. Playing a toon she used to PvP with. Playing with people she had PvP'd with tons of times before.
She knows how to play, she knows the BGs and while the her gear would have some impact on her damage output and damage mitigation, she was well aware of this and making adjustments to her playstyle to ensure she was of value.
Gnomeadeaden, Getafixsnow (both mine), Rawwrbear, Naysa, Dariaste, 80% of the guild…
We have all been carried, we have taken the fastest, most efficient route to BG entry… we walked in.
When you have less gear, you have to play smarter, play to the objectives rather than the killing blows, you learn your classes strengths and weaknesses, your get out of jail free abilities.
You need to – its all you've got!
Bear joined us on the weekend with little more than his smarts.
His smarts amounted to wise non-pvp gear selection, non-pvp spec choice, asking questions, picking the right targets, knowing when to engage and when to run away.
He played beyond gear and spec, he played smart.
Theoretically anyone with an ounce of H.I. can do this.
You don't have to ever enter a BG to be equipped with this weapon. I've always found it strange that people will spend a lot of time getting to know instances and raids, yet never think of researching BG prior to entry.
There may not be the quanity of guides about, but I know a few people that will give you pointers.
Knowledge & Attitude
Attitude, interesting that it follows up on knowledge, but there is more to it. If you know you aren't up for soloing a node, how will you play?
Getafixsnow spent a lot of time stealthing and ninjaing, while running from fights that couldn't be won. Yet he could and would off-heal or blow the odd horde off the LM.
Knowledge, Attitude & Spec
Having an appropriate PvP spec and keyboard layout will make the world of difference.
The unthinkable PvE talents, the skills that never made it of of the spell book. The CCs, the escapes.
It's not about the gear as much as how you play the game.
Knowledge, Attitude, Spec & Gear
Then of course, add gear to the mix and you can now stand toe to toe, fight on the road… or remember all those other things that got you the gear, the things that were much more valuable…
The knowledge, attitude and spec that make you much more valuable to a BG team.
Of course there are ways of getting some gear before you enter the BGs, and it never hurts to have something…
You can make or buy the crafted gear. Some people will tell you not to even enter a BG until you have at least done this, but really, they can go screw themselves. They have no idea of your personal circumstance. Maybe this is your 1st toon, maybe you don't know any of the required crafters (or they don't have the patterns or mats if you do know some), maybe you have just scraped the last 15 copper together to buy your mount… I don't know, and quick frankly it's none of my business.
You could just be like me, some may call me a lazy arse, I prefer to think of myself as overwhelmingly ready to get into BGs… I'm not going to spend an hour trying to get the gear together that will be completely replace in a weeks time doing what I enjoy.
Crafted and JP trade for Honor
Of course, you may have piles of Justice Points just sitting about, well up to a max of 4k (unless the season has just turned and you have a few more). That will get you a piece or two if you convert it and you could augment it with some crafted gear.
Or you could just play smart and earn your honor, nicking out every 3 odd BGs to pick up a new piece of gear (cause you are going to win OK!).
Have PvE gear, will Battle
You may well have a nice set of PvE gear, you may just want to fill 30 minute gaps in your day… don't ask permission, just get in the BGs.. yes, yes you will die faster than the guy with resilience, but just quietly, he will probably die faster at your hands with your DPS-optimised gear focused on him
Just do it!
Just do it.. it really doesn't matter what gear you have, there is always going to be someone telling you you have the wrong gear, the wrong enchant, the wrong spec, the wrong transmog… fuck'em!
Just don't do it in Rated Battlegrounds!
Ohhh.. just don't go into Rated Battlegrounds in your frilly dragonslayers… you make have thought those bosses hurt, wait until you have a psychopathic Rated BGer bearing down on your… you will run screaming like a Blood Elf.
Mr Squiggle
Finally, don't ask me why I am finishing on this one… I guess it is the trap of YouTube… and childhood… Mr. Squiggle and essential part of my childhood.
Maybe it's just about perspective, not taking things at 1st glance… go on, turn the dynamic around, play your own game, have fun… because that's what you pay for subs for, you aren't spoiling the ragers fun… they are, they don't appreciate you are 500% better than an AFK or Bot!
PS: bear you better have at least watched the 1st video… it was for you!
Gnomer and Out!

TSZDT's The 1,000 Greatest Horror Films
An official iCheckMovies list (adopted from mightysparks).
Favorited 335 times, disliked 18 times, added to 348 watchlists.
Horror is one of the most readily dismissed genres from critics and film buffs, yet is, arguably, the genre with the most avid and steadfast niche following and remains popular with the general public. With horror films aiming to terrify, spook, shock, disturb, repulse, amuse, entertain and more, it's no wonder the genre is so varied, divisive and controversial.
With so many people ignoring or simply not understanding horror, many great films slip under the radar and are relatively unknown to an audience outside of hardcore horror fans. In order to counteract this and bring awareness to the greatness of the genre, this list was created.
Compiled using 2,614 lists taken from various critics/polls/magazines/books/websites/forums/horror fans, They Shoot Zombies, Don't They? is intended to be the ultimate canonical top 1000 horror list. Spanning several decades, countries and sub-genres, and using lists from a wide range of people and publications, the resulting list is quite a diverse spread and representation of the best of horror.

Apparently there is a notion of for example a $G$-connection on a discrete set. I've understood that this is a standard tool in for example lattice gauge theory. I'm looking for references to learn more about this (i.e. discrete 1-forms, connections, etc.) in the discrete setting.
More specifically, suppose I have a set $V$ of vertices and a set $E$ of directed edges. Let $G$ be a finite (perhaps non-abelian) group. What is the right notion of $G$-connection on $(V,E)$? Is there some classification of connections? In particular, I suppose it might matter if the directed graph can be drawn on a torus or on a sphere (or the plane).
Any references to literature where the basic notions are described is greatly appreciated.

Consensus Report
Assuring a Future U.S.-Based Nuclear and Radiochemistry Expertise (2012)Board on Chemical Sciences and Technology
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
Q&A with the Committee Chair >>
Despite the growing use of nuclear medicine, the potential expansion of nuclear power generation, and the urgent need to protect the nation against nuclear threats and manage nuclear wastes generated in past decades, the number of students opting to specialize in nuclear and radiochemistry has decreased significantly over the past few decades. Now, with many experts in these topics approaching retirement age, action is needed to avoid a workforce gap in these critical areas, for example by building student interest in these careers, expanding the educational capacity of universities and colleges, and providing more sector specific on-the-job training.
Key Messages
- A program or system to gather and track the metrics necessary to assess supply and demand, would make it easier to measure changes resulting from government and academic efforts to boost the nuclear and radiochemistry workforce.
- Although tracking expertise in nuclear and radiochemistry has proven challenging, the committee was able to project supply and demand for radiochemistry expertise over the next five years. The projections indicate that given increased demand in sectors such as nuclear medicine and nuclear energy, the steady but low number of graduates is not conducive for sustained growth of the nuclear and radiochemistry field.
- Educational programs are needed to develop experts for critical and time-sensitive jobs. In many sectors, the need for specialists or "on-the-job" training—whether for new Bachelor's degree holders or for mid-career scientists changing fields—cannot be met by the traditional academic system, because of the immediacy or classified nature of the work. Other types of educational program are needed to supply these types of training.
- Given the relatively small population of nuclear and radiochemists in the United States, it is essential to strengthen connections between current experts, and those who will supply and will need expertise in the future. Formalized collaborative partnerships for research and education in nuclear and radiochemistry should be established between universities, national laboratories, and relevant industrial sectors to help ensure an adequate supply of faculty, staff, students and postdoctoral fellows to satisfy current and future professional and academic needs.
- In the university setting, academic research programs in nuclear and radiochemistry are typically found within chemistry departments. However, out of over 100 chemistry graduate departments across the United States, the committee identified only 13 departments that have two or more faculty members who specialize in nuclear and radiochemistry and offer one or more courses devoted entirely or in part to nuclear and radiochemistry.
- D. graduates in fields such as nuclear engineering, nuclear physics , or general, inorganic, or physical chemistry could potentially fill gaps in the nuclear and radiochemistry workforce. However, these students usually don't have the specialized knowledge necessary for a career in nuclear or radiochemistry. On the job training is one option to equip students to carry out certain specialized roles in the nuclear and radiochemistry workforce, but such training does not provide the same quality of preparation and expertise as that of a Ph.D. specifically in nuclear and radiochemistry.
- Recent efforts have stabilized the number of Ph.D.'s and faculty members in nuclear and radiochemistry, but the situation is fragile. About 10 percent of the nation's experts in nuclear and radiochemistry are at or nearing retirement age and it is unlikely that there will be enough new graduates to fill this workforce gap. Should there be major funding cuts or policy changes, the U.S. supply of nuclear and radiochemistry expertise may be inadequate to meet changing needs.
- Since the 1970s, a declining number of academic staff in nuclear and radiochemistry has led to decreases in the number of U.S. citizens with training in the fields of nuclear security, medicine, energy, environmental management, and basic research—and in the number of U.S. colleges and universities that offer research programs in these fields.
- The committee commends current and past efforts to support nuclear and radiochemistry workforce education and development, for example by setting up summer schools to help supplement inadequacies in undergraduate education. However, these various initiatives were created independently by different federal funding agencies, each with a slightly different emphasis on outcome. Therefore, there is great potential for gaps in funding and no comprehensive plan to address these issues, and it is not clear that currently favorable funding levels will continue.
- With a large number of specialized nuclear and radiochemistry experts eligible to retire in the next five to ten years, a process is necessary to minimize the impact of losing many years of experience. Developing procedures to formalize knowledge retention and transfer would help overcome this challenge, especially at the national laboratories.

EDIT: delayed till 18:00 now ;p
lawl succesful troll is succesful, still now i can use this thread to complain about the server delay
Blizzard fails YET AGAIN
The EU servers are offline till 18.00 and its currently 16.00 so 2 more hours to wait... =/
I love how they delay it by 2 hours 5 minutes before they are supposed to be back, talk about taking the piss. You wait since 12:00 and when 5 minutes are left you're hit with another 2 hours, 5 minutes before they are back after the delay here comes another 2 hours, Blizzard have sucked at patching for like 4 years why can't they ever learn? lol it's amazing tbh.
We <3 you baumut!
