I am still the proud owner of a Phoenix Phortress tent and Phoenix Phreak tent.
After 24 years use, I am looking for replacement A pieces. These were plastic, circular and with the Phoenix logo.
Does anyone know
I would love to hear from folks who are able to help with the above, or want to share their memories of these great tents. I still love using my Phortress, but dread the day when the flysheet has degenerated.
Regards to you all.
I doubt you can get the plastic part but you could make an equivelent wire one like used on the Ultimate tents. Good to hear 2 great classics still going strong.
See my post in this thread 3 posts from bottom of page for pics of the A-piece (& further up for Phreak & Phortress pics)
My Phortress & the apex from my Tramp. Click the word 'thread' in my post above - some pics there too
There was also a fix posted by Waldo as follows:
I still have the link as mentioned but made a spare from "two" pieces of rod joined at the top by a simple 6mm. bolt and wingnut. I can adjust the A poles to any width I want
A trip last year using the Tramp:
It's possible a classic Force 10's A-piece would fit. Still available from Vango, drop them a line and they'll probably send you details.
Thankfully I have relocated your message and great advice. I so love the pictures of your Phortress and Phreak. Classic, stylish and absolutely bombproof.
Hampton Works make a very similar A piece, but needs some adjustments as it is difficult to fit the A piece at the top, with the bottom end of the poles in the ring next to the spacer tape.
How do you asemble the A poles? Perhaps I am doing something wrong?
I bought my Phortress in 1983, from a fellow student at University. His mother worked in the Phoenix Mountaineering factory. So wish I had bought more of this fantastic kit at the time, but making up for lost time.
How recent are your photographs and where were they taken?
Dunno about those Hamptons bits but a bent soft ali tent peg may suffice short term. Bend it round a metal bar to make the coil. I fit the apex before putting the spikes through the o-rings.
The black & white pic is my mates Phortress - the pic is up on Kinder, March 1981. The Tramp is on the camp site at the Ugly House Ty-Hyll, North Wales, January 1983 & the Phreak is at Llyn y Cwn in the Glyders, July 1984. I used to live in Nottingham so spent more time in the Peak & Wales then.
The picture of the Phortress above is at the campsite at Rothiemurcus near Aviemore, February 2008.
Hi there,
I am also a proud owner of a Phoenix Phreak tent. Unfortunately I have succeeded in loosing the complete set of tent poles. As this tent means a lot to me, I want to replace them. It seems impossible to just simply buy replacement poles, so I will have to get them manufactured. Would anybody please be so kind as to write me the thickness and length of the poles? (aluminium version) And perhaps even the weight? I might aswell try and get lighter poles made while I am at it.
Greetz from Germany
Tobi - I may have a set that will do for A frame & one of the uprights - let me get back to you later today.
You could always contact Pete Hutchinson at PHD. Phoneix used to be his company but his wife got it in the divorse.
Alan Waugh, Ken Rawlinson & Pam Sandford were the directors of Phoenix. I don't recall any involvement with Pete Hutchinson (who was Mountain Equipment in the Phoenix era)
Spiritburner, you are probibally right. I was pretty certain that Pete was involved at some point though. I'll ask the person who told me as they told me that the information had come from Pete himself???
i have a phoenix phortress sitting here in front of me with all the poles and "A" bits intact, considering its age its in great condition. i used to use it climbing in llanberis in the uk.
i am looking to sell it as it has spent most of its time in storage over the last dozen years or so, it was a great tent and is still in great condition. i bought a north face dome tent 10 years ago and that i have been using that since as it is bigger and easier to erect... but i do prefer the look of the old A frame phoenix.
it's yours for 50 dollars, plus postage ?
Ok seems I posted and it came out blank
Thankfully we have the edit button back
Was saying I am lucky enough to be the proud owner of 3 phoenix tents the Phor 4 and the phreeranger and phreeranger EB plus 2 Phoenix phreeloader bivi Bags and they are all going strong still.
phoenix in IMHO made some of the best tents ever made and it is so sad to see them no more and knowing that replacements will only get harder and harder to find. I also own a few phoenix ski jackets and can attest to wringing out my ski boots and salopettes at Rossendale multiple times in a day when teaching in what could only be described as torrential downpours and yet these jackets kept me dry not even that damp from sweating. Vango taking control was bad and I just wish someone would start making these tents again the Phreeranger/Phreerunner in modern lightweight materials would be fantastic and still a class leading tent.
But maybe we could look at having a retro section on the forum for not just Phoenix but all makes ( but nnot going to be the one who starts the thread for that well known crampon company ).
So what is everyone elses opinion would a retro section work? I know one member was talking of a retro meet with 80's or older gear but all welcome even if only modern gear but that post seems to have died but this could be a great annual meet and an incentive to try and find the oldest the whackiest or down right demonic looking gear from bygone era's
I'm still thinking of a meet - I'm not a collector of vintage gear (outside of stoves) as such but I've replaced my early, long gone gear with equivelent replacements & I do know folk who'd be up for a meet. Winter meet at Sykeside always appeals - got to be able to breakout the old duvet jacket!
Ive just bought a Phreak so am keen to learn any setting up info you may have. As for the pladtic bit - give a product called Polymorph a go. It is an easily moulded plastic that may well do the job. I use it for moulding fishing plugs etc. etc.
E-mail me for more info and any guidance3 you may have.
I too have a Phreak and love it, but a lot of the tape has lifted from the seams. Any ideas about repair?
Pull it off & seam seal it maybe? The earlier ones weren't taped & I never had leakage.
LEKI are pole specialists - making poles is what they do

Ousted Maldives president Mohamed Nasheed, the subject of the new climate documentary "Island President," told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell about the challenge of saving his nation from extinction by the effects of greenhouse pollution. "Climate change is a very real issue to the Maldives. It's not something in the future. We already have 16 islands where we have to relocate people." The entire nation lies below 1.5 meters above sea level. By 2100, sea levels are likely to rise by at least that amount unless immediate action is taken to reduce the amount of fossil-fuel pollution in the atmosphere. "What happens to the Maldives today will definitely happen the same to everyone else," Nasheed said. "Maldives today, Manhattan tomorrow," Mitchell agreed.
"The Island President" opens this weekend in New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, and next week in Washington DC and San Diego.

Anyone cruising downtown last week might have noticed a parking-enforcement officer jotting down license plate numbers instead of marking car tires with chalk.
Perry Neuroth, the city's parking-enforcement supervisor, said it's not a new policy. Officers go on foot patrols occasionally when their vehicles are being serviced.
However, recording license-plate numbers can help the city keep track of drivers who use time-honored techniques to try to trick parking-enforcement officers.
City ordinance 33-118 states that when a parked car has reached the end of the time limit on the street sign, that car has to move completely off the block.
"You have to give other people a chance to park," Neuroth said.
He acknowledges that chalk on the tire wears off after a car moves 100 feet, but it is still illegal to move a few spaces forward, drive around the block and immediately park again on the same block or physically rub off the chalk.
The fine for exceeding posted parking time limits is $15. If someone is caught obscuring a chalk mark, the penalty jumps to $250.
In the off-season, Neuroth said officers notice more easily the cars that try to beat the system, because they see the same cars every day. But it's up to the parking-enforcement officer to either write a ticket or issue a warning.
"It's a discretionary call," Neuroth said. "If it's a habitual offender, they're more likely to write a ticket."
The following tricks are illegal:
• Physically removing chalk from tires.
• Rolling the car so the chalk mark is obscured.
• Driving the 100 feet necessary to erase the chalk, then parking on the same block.

Growing up, I never owned a real Christmas tree. When I was about 14 and living in the Pennsylvania suburbs, my mom bought a fake, pre-lit, easy-to-assemble one from the local department store for our apartment. We've kept it for more than a decade since.
Each winter when we'd bring the tree out of the box I'd feel proud that our holiday cheer didn't require chopping down a tree. But a part of me envied the rich pine scent that filled my friends' living rooms. So last week, when one of my roommates proposed that we buy a real Christmas tree for our home of four in San Francisco, I was tempted. But what about the environmental impact? I decided to do some digging to find out.
The Christmas tree custom we know today is said to date back to the 1500s, when Lutherans in western Germany would hang wafers on their trees on December 24th to celebrate the religious holiday of Adam and Eve. The idea was to mimic the "paradise tree," a fir hung with apples that represented the Garden of Eden in a popular medieval play.
My environmental concern is not new: In the early 1900s Theodore Roosevelt banned putting up a Christmas tree from the White House because felling trees went against his conservation efforts. Before tree farms grew commonplace around the '40s, most people harvested their trees from nearby forests. Today, no more than 2 percent of Christmas trees in the US are chopped in the wild; most are grown on farms and harvested for sale during the holiday season. Real trees are about three times as popular as fake ones, with about 33 million sold annually, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. But artificial trees are quickly gaining popularity: According to the Christmas Tree Checkoff Task Force, a group of industry producers and importers, the market share of natural Christmas tree sales declined by 6 percent between 1965 and 2008, while the share of fake trees multiplied more than sixfold in the same period (PDF).
It's not hard to see why people like my mom and me opt for fake trees over real ones: They're cheaper, easier to set up and take down, less messy (pine needles lose their appeal once they're all over your carpet), and more durable. But when it comes to the environment and your health, naturally grown trees are in most ways better than the manufactured kind. Most environmental groups and publications (including this one) that have written about the subject argue that real trees are better mainly because fake ones are made of polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, a nonrecyclable plastic. Many also balk at the fact that the bulk of plastic trees are imported from China, enlarging their carbon footprint (PDF).
A 2009 study by the consulting firm Ellipsos determined that "when compared on an annual basis, the artificial tree, which has a life span of six years, has three times more impact on climate change and resource depletion than the natural tree." Some reports claim manufacturers use lead and other additives—which have been linked to liver, kidney, neurological, and reproductive system damage in animals—to make fake tree needles more malleable. A 2004 study in the Journal of Environmental Health on artificial trees and lead exposure among children concluded: "While clearly not an acute toxicity threat by themselves, a significant fraction of older artificial trees are probably exposing children and adults to enough lead to be at least a noteworthy public health issue."
Christmas tree manufacturers rebut these claims. "There is no lead in the PVC used to manufacture artificial Christmas trees. It's the same PVC used to manufacture IV tubing and other medical supplies, not to mention just about everything we all use everyday," Jami Warner of the American Christmas Tree Association, a trade group of artificial tree producers and retailers, wrote in an email.
Real trees, on the other hand, have environmental benefits, even if they're only used for one season. According to the University of Illinois Extension, approximately 350 million Christmas trees are growing on about 170,000 acres of farms in all 50 states. That's more than enough trees to cover the area of Chicago. During the 6 to 10 years they grow before harvest, the conifer farms can serve as a source of habitat for local birds, insects, and other wildlife. After the lights and ornaments come down, the trees can be composted or recycled in your garden, a nearby pond, or used for outdoor firewood. In San Francisco, where I live, the city collects trees in early January and turns them into wood chips to burn for boilers.
Still, even for real trees there's room for improvement. Last month, researchers at Villanova University published a study finding that better land management on Christmas tree farms, such as increasing ground cover or possibly through reducing pesticide use, can increase their carbon storage capacity. (MoJo's Sydney Brownestone has more on the study here.)
And even if chemicals aren't harming the trees' surroundings, what about the farmworkers? "The people with the greatest exposure to pesticides are those that apply it," says Jill Sidebottom, a forestry specialist at North Carolina State University. The longer the duration and higher the rate of pesticide application, the greater the risk. Christmas tree farming does, however, require chemicals. According to the consumer advocacy group Beyond Pesticides, only 1 percent farm Christmas trees are grown organically; all other farmers use pesticides and herbicides including Roundup and Dimethoate to keep the trees free of pests and holes. A few forestry researchers and professors I asked said that compared to other crops, Christmas trees are actually pretty light on pesticide usage. "If you look at the continuum of chemical use in US agriculture, Christmas trees production certainly ranks on the low end," says Bert Cregg, an associate professor specializing in forestry and horticulture at Michigan State University. Pesticide use in Christmas trees in the state is "similar to use in tobacco and about one-fourth of what is used in apple trees," Sidebottom adds.
But back to my tree search. I called up Mei Ling Hui, the San Francisco environment department's resident urban forest expert, who recommended I buy a potted Christmas tree to plant later. Potted trees are more expensive than cut ones—with prices starting from around $50 (pre-cut ones start around $30) and upward depending on height—but I was willing to give the idea a chance. I was excited to find out that an increasing number of farms are renting out potted trees—and taking them back after the trees have served their decorative purpose. But the nearest rental service I found was at a farm in Carmel, two hours south of San Francisco. Since I don't have a car and the farm doesn't deliver up here, this was pretty much out of the question.
Disappointed, I weighed my options. The next greenest bet after a potted tree, suggested Hui, would be to go to a nearby tree farm or park and—gasp—chop my own. Though this meant discarding our tree after use, the DIY method does have its selling points: It can be inexpensive (permits cost between $5 and $10 depending if you go to a state or national park), and its carbon footprint would probably be smaller than the pre-chopped trees sold in San Francisco, which are commonly shipped from Oregon and Washington. But cutting your own Christmas tree is an all-day affair and also requires driving outside the city. So no dice.
In the end, my roommates and I settled on buying a pre-chopped, 6-foot-tall Douglas fir from a lot just a few miles from our home. This particular lot gets its trees from a farm the owner's uncle runs in Molalla, Oregon, about 620 miles north of here. It wasn't the most environmentally sound choice, but it was an informed one. And we did find one compromise: After spotting a compost dumpster containing scraps of fir tree branches, we picked a few bundles to turn into wreaths.

Meanwhile, the art department is stockpiling graphics for post-climageddon use:
Since the 2007 food price crisis, a growing number of US investment funds have been buying up swaths of farm land around the world in anticipation of a rising demand for food and fuels to support the ever-growing global population. My colleague Tom Philpott has written about this increasingly common trend of land grabs—"grabs," because the lion's share of these investments seem designed to produce crops for export, pushing out small farmers in the process.
A 2010 Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development paper estimated that about $14 billion in private capital is committed to farm land around the world, as well as related infrastructure projects like crop storage, processing plants, and transportation. That figure is likely to double or triple by 2015, according to the International Institute for Environment and Development. IIED counts 190 private equity firms currently investing in agriculture and farm land in Africa, South America, Eastern Europe, and elsewhere around the world (PDF). But publicly available details about these firms, particularly those based in the US, are few and far between. Why?
A new report shines some light on the notoriously opaque private investment universe. Published yesterday by the think tank Oakland Institute, the report highlights a sample-size group of 23 private equity funds, university endowments, pension funds, and hedge funds including big names like UBS, Soros Fund Management, Global Environment Fund, Prudential, TIAA-CREF, Harvard University's endowment, as well as lesser-known heavy weights like Herakles Capital/Agriculture and Pharos Financial Group.
As the Oakland Institute describes it, these investment funds seem to look at farm lands the same way they would stocks, as little more than profit opportunities:
For the most part, their projections emphasize growing populations, growing demands for grains or fuel, or changing economic cycles and the need for wealthy investors to reap the benefits of declining resources. Their investment thesis relies on securing and consolidating already productive and well-watered pieces of land at the lowest cost possible, and making a profit from land appreciation and most likely land transformation/conversion. Once these lands are secured through ownership transfers, longterm leases, or local partnerships, fund managers seek to scale agricultural operations up by leveraging agricultural inputs (e.g. genetically engineered seeds, fertilizers, agricultural chemicals, machinery) and water resources. The end objective is almost always to primarily serve global markets, and not domestic ones.
Overall, the report—based on interviews with the some of the companies (the vast majority never responded to the Oakland Institute) and a review of company websites, media reports, research papers, and government documents—reveals "a secluded and highly unregulated form of investment" that seeks to gain control of private land and farms, "resell them at a superior market return...and/or generate cash from rents."
Most of the investment funds profiled in the report publicize vaguely-worded sustainability and social responsibility policies. But when the Oakland Institute asked to specify what those policies look like, the group says, many shied away from details. Some of the funds explicitly promote growing genetically modified crops. In at least a few cases, the report finds, the funds partner with food and agriculture giants like Monsanto, Cargill, and DuPont, and not exactly by coincidence. Among the investment fund managers listed in the report are former executives and traders at Monsanto and Cargill. Cargill has two of its own private investment firms. Many of the companies, the report adds, have similarly close ties with big banks such as Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, and Deutsche Bank.
But the report's most troubling finding is that it's impossible to know the true impact of these investments, whether financial, social, or environmental, because information about them is so scarce. "There remains a critical lack of understanding about how investments are implemented on the ground, and the reluctance of fund managers to disclose basic information including their environmental policy or indicators raises concerns regarding their actual practices," the report says.
Last year, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission introduced new requirements for financial advisers registered with the SEC to report to the Financial Stability Oversight Council, a new body created by the Dodd-Frank Act. But virtually none of that information is made available to the public, according to the Oakland Institute's findings.
What compounds this lack of transparency, the report states, is the fact that the investments funds operate through "onshore and offshore partnerships" even while based in the US, "typically located in the tax havens of Delaware and the Caribbean Islands."
This has made it "extremely difficult for concerned citizens, students, teachers, and others to find out about agricultural funds," the report adds. "Even asset owners often claim to not know or understand the underlying holdings of their funds."
Here's a more detailed look at five of the most notable investment funds in the report:
Correction: An earlier version of this post misidentified George Soros as the speaker of this quote.
China is ratcheting up its fracking ambitions with virtually no regard for groundwater protection or other environmental safety measures, according to a new investigation by the independent publication Caixin. The report points to an October 24 white paper on energy development released by China's top cabinet which "calls for ramping up the industry and pumping 6.5 billion cubic meters of natural gas from underground shale formations by 2015."
"The model for China's anticipated success is the US shale gas sector," the article states. "Geologists estimate the nation's recoverable reserves at about 25 trillion cubic meters, on par with the United States."
Fracking has particular appeal in China because it provides an alternative to burning coal, which currently supplies about 70 percent of the nation's consumed energy. Because natural gas can generate electricity at half the greenhouse gas emissions of coal, some see it as a way to reduce China's carbon footprint.
But fracking isn't without environmental problems, as I and my colleagues at Mother Jones have reported before. And Caixin's review of government documents as well as interviews with industry sources, government officials, and environmental advocates reveal that fracking's risks have not come under public scrutiny the way they have in the US, "much less addressed by the [Chinese] government or controlled via environmental laws."
If fracking takes off in China as planned, it will likely exacerbate the nation's existing water crisis. "Most of the nation's shale gas lies in areas plagued by water shortages," the report says. With about 20 percent of the world's population and only 6 percent of the world's water resources, China is one of the least water-secure countries in the world. Its water shortages are made worse by pollution: According to the Ministry of Water Resources about 40 percent of China's rivers were so polluted they were deemed unfit for drinking, while about 300 million rural residents lack access to safe drinking water each year.
In order to reach the government's annual shale gas production goal of 6.5 billion cubic meters by 2015, as many as 1,380 wells will need to be drilled across the country, requiring up to 13.8 million cubic meters of water, an industry source told Caixin. China's industrial sector already consumes about 35 billion cubic meters of water a year. That amount of water would fill about 14 million Olympic-size swimming pools.
There's also serious risk of water contamination, as seen in the US fracking experience. Multiple studies in recent years including those by the EPA, Pennsylvania, and Duke University have concluded that shale gas drilling releases methane which can contaminate nearby water supplies. A 2009 ProPublica investigation found methane contamination from fracking was widespread in Colorado, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. But as Caixin reports, "there would be no legal reason to limit methane emissions at a shale gas well because China's pollution standards do not cover methane." One Ministry of Environmental Protection source told the publication that writing a new standard into law would take three years, "which helps explain why the State Council's decision to fast-track the nation's fledgling shale gas industry is making a lot of people nervous."
Groundwater in 57 percent of China's 660 cities have already been significantly polluted, according to the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
An unidentified source at China's Ministry of Land Resources told Caixin that as shale gas development accelerates the government will likely introduce specific environmental policies to address fracking, such as groundwater protection. But these are not likely to be legally binding, an industry source told the publication.
Perhaps a bigger concern is that China's main energy and economic planning agencies, including the Ministry of Land Resources, seem to view fracking's environmental risks as minimal or inflated:
The MLR geological department source said, for example, that China's shale gas is at least 3,000 meters and sometimes 4,000 meters underground—significantly deeper than aquifers, and separated from underground water by impermeable rock. Other industry sources argue that fracking fluids, which are mainly comprised of water and sand, break down naturally over a short time. And chemical additives make up less than 0.5 percent of what's injected, they say. Similarly upbeat arguments against environmental fretting can be found in the government's development plan for the period ending in 2015. It was jointly issued by four agencies including the National Development and Reform Commission and National Energy Bureau.

Meanwhile, Caixin reported that one test fracking operation in Shaanxi Province—a major coal region in China's dry North—recently "went awry, forcing local officials to temporarily cut a nearby city's water supply."
Commercial fracking operations in China have not yet started, according to Caixin's report, but some Chinese companies have drilled test wells, and the government has begun selling chunks of designated fracking territory. In its latest round of auctioning shale-gas exploration blocks, for example, the Ministry of Land Resources awarded two blocks to Sinopec and Henan Coal Seam Gas Development and Utilization Co, in deals worth an estimated $128.5 million.
Foreign companies including Royal Dutch Shell are also showing interest in China's fracking plans. Shell announced earlier this month that it had shale gas agreements with three major Chinese oil companies. Caixin also reported in September that Shell was in talks with one company about a shale gas joint venture. ExxonMobil, BP, Chevron, and France-based Total are also working to form shale gas partnerships with Chinese oil and gas companies, according to an August National Geographic report.

Brought to you by dance music pioneers Joe and Will Ask and taking place on the final Thursday of each month, the duo will be bringing the best of the quirky, melodic dance music that they have become so well known for. With Vikings you can guarantee a few things; the line up will be major, the atmosphere electric and the night itself will be memorable. Having brought the likes of Boy 8 Bit, Matt Walsh, Bowski, Eskimo Twins & Coin Operated Boy to some of London's most intimate venues, Vikings always provides some riotous tomfoolery.

The Rhythm Factory, London

Blondes are the psychedelic NY synth duo who combine house and electronic sensibilities to devastating effect. Having been invited back to Europe to play Space in Ibiza, we've snagged them for a one-off full-analogue live show full of their heavily revered works for Merok and RVNG INTL Lando Kal of Lazer Sword fame finally dropped his new EP on Scuba's Hotflush to mass critical acclaim and will be bringing his sub-loaded, West Coast-tinged sound to the Rhythm Factory. Having already released a split on Numbers and a forthcoming Rush Hour release in the works, Lando is set to be on of 2011's fastest rising stars. Mau'lin made an impact after his heavyweight Hotep EP shredding dancefloors and stereos alike so expect plenty of noise in tow. Then we have an all-exclusive set from Gang Colours, whose new EP on Brownswood has gotten the hype machine into overdrive. Samoyed will be swinging down in anticipation of his upcoming releases on #notallowedtosaybutitllbeannouncedsoon so keep your ears open. Then Canadian-born Soosh will be swilling his tender noise-plays in with some of his favourite riddims to smooth everyone into the night.

For those of you lucky enough to be avoiding the horrors of U2 and Coldplay at Glastonbury the Ba.si.cal.ly crew have assembled a stellar line up of electronic sounds for your listening pleasure:NHKyx aka Kouhei Matsunaga (Raster Noton/Skam) The Wyrding Module aka Dr Dereck F, Team Doyobi (Icasea/Skam) Skeksi,aka Mortal and Chemist member (Icasea/33) More tbc for a mere £3/5. NHKyx is the solo project of Kouhei Matsunaga, one half of the deadly Japanese production duo NHK who have released material through Raster Noton and Important records. Having released his debut album on Mille Plateaux back in 1998, Matsunaga has since collaborated with Merzbow and, more recently, with Mika Vainio and Autechre's Sean Booth. His latest release on Skam demonstrates his ability to offer up cerebral sounds that take cues from electro, techno, dub and noise whilst never failing to shake your ass. This is one of only two UK dates on Kouhei's current European tour. The Wyrding Module is a solo project from paramusician and sound artist Christopher Gladwin, one half of chip-core godfathers Team Doyobi.

ORIS JAY aka DARQWAN (Texture) MARLA (Dub Organizer) SECOND LINE (Mothers Against Noise / Wholemeal) ESSELLE (Wholemeal) Wholemeal returns to that East London institution The Rhythm Factory in June for another 100% FREE party with another lineup well worth making a fuss over. Sheffield's Oris Jay has been in the game longer than most Wholemeal punters have been alive. From early origins fusing Garage and Breakbeat (yes, before 138 Trek) to dragging the darker, more dub inflected sounds from Garage under his Darqwan alias, Oris has always resisted the hype and consistently pushed his own agenda. Joining him we have Dub Organizer's recent signing Marla, south London's rapidly rising producer Second Line and Wholemeal's own Esselle.

Eskmo/Dels/Kwes/Machinedrum+++ @ Village Underground

VILLAGE UNDERGROUND, 54 Holywell Lane, Shoreditch London, EC2A 3PQ
+ buy tickets
Eskmo performas at this exclusive London event. Debuting his brand new live A/V show after its success in the States. ►ESKMO- Brendan Angelides is a San Francisco based electronic music producer who records and performs live as Eskmo. His multi-genre compositions have been featured on influential labels like Warp Records and Planet Mu (most recently having been signed to the mighty Ninja Tune). While Angelides' tracks encompass a wide range of electronic styles, he avoids classifications. Bleep.com described his tracks as "Masterfully produced… sophisticated, post-Dilla hip-hop funk". His last single of 2009 entitled "Let Them Sing" on Mu was met with equal praise and described by sites like Boomkat as "[Putting] Eskmo on his own electronic plateau." In the past five years he's released over a dozen singles and EPs while touring throughout North America and Europe. He's also remixed works by diverse artists such as Bibio, Spor, STS9, Amon Tobin and Bar9, to name a few. Ninja Tune recording artist and film composer Amon Tobin hailed his work as "some of the best production I've heard in recent times." ►DELS- A young MC and graphic designer from Ipswich who grew up with a serious Wiley and Outkast habit, Kieren Dickins aka DELS has been making a bit of a stir for a couple of years now. Will Ashon, in charge of A&R at Big Dada, says, "He's the perfect Big Dada artist really - a very talented MC who pushes what he can say with words as hard as he can and combines it with a really adventurous attitude towards music. Oh, and he does his own artwork and videos, too, which makes things much easier!" Dickins himself says, "I am so happy to be joining a record label with such a rich musical heritage. I have always felt it was important that I signed to a label that wouldn't attempt to compromise my vision. I think that my music has finally found the perfect home in Big Dada. The likes of Joe Hot Chip, Kwes and Micachu are all artists/producers that I loved before I began working on my debut album. So I feel incredibly lucky to be working with such a talented group. DELS' debut album will be released early in 2011. ►KWES- initially performing wurlitzer piano on Jack Penate's debut LP, he then went on to do a UK and European tour with him playing the laptop, snare and melodica. He then co-produced a mixtape entitled Kwesachu Vol.1, with Micachu (as "Kwesachu"), alongsideMCs Dels & Ghostpoet, with appearances from London pop-bands Golden Silvers, Hot Chip and Man Like Me to name a few. Matthew Herbert touted him as a musician and producer to watch, admiring his "really unusual, experimental approach" Kwes has also reworked several artists including Damon Albarn's opera 'Monkey', Portico Quartet, Keane, Zero 7 amongst many others. He is currently producing Big Dada signing DELS' forthcoming album due for release in early 2011. ►MACHINEDRUM- has produced and composed several albums and various aliases since his first independent release in 1999. Covering an astonishing variety of styles with ease he has always been a trailblazer- bridging the gap between genres that would otherwise never have met before. His debut now you know gained international recognition and was heralded as "the standard to which the next wave of imitators aspires"- PITCHFORK ►ANXST- It was a small town mundanity and endless sparse countryside which lead to ANXST's genre transcending dexterity and takes in the experimental Dubstep trip of Vex'd, Industrial Techno of Surgeon, the future glitch of Flying Lotus and the scattered experimental drum and bass of Amon Tobin which results in the vast textured styling of this talented artist. ►BLANK DISCO- is primarily the musical persona of London / Home Counties based electronica artist Dan Seville. Although Dan's musical activities have their roots in experiments going back to the mid '90s, his Blank Disco project only started to take full shape in 2009, since when he has embarked on a concentrated process of developing and refining his sound aesthetic, combining elements of techno, ambient and field recordings to effect his skewed vision of the contemporary landscape. The recording process for From Zero involved much consideration of approaches to sound, and traced a shift from heavily sample-based manipulations to a stronger focus on the use of synthesised instruments, while attempting to retain a visceral feel to the music. Many tracks were reworked or rejected during a ruthless process of weeding out any hint of "filler", and the result is a set that grips from start to finish. The album was mastered by Noel Summerville at Metropolis, whose CV includes work with the likes of Autechre, Boards of Canada and Mira Calix. "I wanted the music to feel like there was a bunch of strange, slightly disintegrating, machines playing music in a concrete bunker somewhere in the future, and I've just turned up with a reel-to-reel tape machine and recorded it." ►SEAMS- Touring with Gold Panda and Dam Mantle whilst selling out a run of "Nightcycles" pressed by Tough Love set Seams off to a very strong start. Always a musician, James Welch went through school playing guitar in bands, often taking the role of producer. Starting out on four track tape he moved onto Logic then Ableton Live and most recently stepped back to tape incorporating a cassette dictaphone into his production setup. Most electronic music fans will recognise in Seams' organic sound a reference to traditional songwriting and structure. I'm sure for a new generation of listeners Seams will be the gateway drug to electronica for those kids that grew up listening to guitar music.

The night will also see the first UK airing of an extra-special collaborative live project from Move D and Juju & Jordash: called 'Magic Mountain High', it's a totally improvised, hardware-only acid jam session made and played on the machines you love. Think 303 , 808 , 90 e.t.c , live & direct . This collaboration first came together @ Dutch Label – Dekmantel's – Het Kabinet festival in November 2010 in Amsterdam & it totally rocked the house. Move D needs no introduction either . One of the most busiest producers working right now and he thoroughly enjoys what he does . A producer of note with key releases on labels such as Warp Records , Philpot , Uzuri , Workshop , Source and many many more . Move D loves a collaboration as well having collaborated with the likes of Phill Niblock , Jonah Sharp and many more . Now with Juju & Jordash .

Native is a brand new night hitting Brixton, South London focusing on forward thinking bass music. The first night features one of the producers/DJ's of the moment, XXXY. Hailing from Manchester, XXXY's productions and remixes take us back to the heyday of the UK Garage scene with a modern twist. His breakout hit Ordinary Things took dancefloors across the UK by storm with it's punchy vocal sample and perfectly layered synths. Native #01 also features the first public performance from the mysterious Infinite Potentials, one of the founding members of Indigo Pyramid, who's album 'Indigo Shades' garnered much appreciation from the underground music scene last year with their individual fusion of hip-hop, electro, soul, brokenbeat and nu jazz sounds. Residents Deadbit, Mr Luna, Collapse & Sober have all been Producing & DJing around London for almost the last decade moving through different genres and all finding their own sound.

After taking a three-year hiatus from the last session in 2008 - which debut Theophilus London to the UK - this daring new music club night emerges to reconnect the paces of both cities in the quest of "who's got next"? Dyme-A-Duzin refuses to follow anybody's standards. This charismatic 18-year old mc is today's 360 hip-hop artist – rapper, singer, songwriter, video producer, marketer, distributor and more. Dymez overall confidence, style and demeanor illuminate his talents where there is no dismissing his pop star potential. Loaded with online takeaways, his music videos are more like web-episodes that his fans can chronicle his rise to fame. Nu Brand is pioneering a new London sound we've coined as chronic grime. Their unique approach is slowing down the bpms and releasing some 2-step tension to allow their hooks to flow and transcend. Imagine N.E.R.D making a slow jam for Bashy. It's mary jane all night long. Futuristic synth loving boy/girl duo Royalty round up the live while on the party spinning selections are in the hands of Ellijah & Skilliam B2B Swindle, Work It DJs, the bPM (Boiler Room) and Lixo (Get Me!). NYC/LDN feels so damn good to be back! PRESENTED BY PEGGY JEAN-LOUIS AND KOKO

Xemed's project involves instrumentation and tools for materials research using "neutron scattering," while Cognitive Electronics' project is in energy efficient supercomputing.
The Energy Department grants — funded through the Energy Department's Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs — are specifically earmarked for expanding the country's clean energy economy and reducing dependence on imported oil.

Hi, I am having two difficulties (and I'm sure more to follow as I set more of my cart up!). My first problem is that I want the subcategories to show as links on the top category page and they are not showing. I have gone into the admin panel and under config-layout settings, i have enabled categories-always show on main page and somewhere along the way i must have changed something in the style sheet that i shouldn't have because enabling this option turns on the greeting on the main page - so something that it shouldn't be doing.
What I am after is, for example, on my "healing" page, I want links to the acne and dry skin products page to appear in that white space in the middle of the screen.
Second issue - in my sideboxes that contain images (I just have placeholders there now until I get further in setting up the website), they are aligned to the right of the box. I have changed each setting for alignment, padding and margins one by one in the style sheet to see it would change the alignment and bring them over to the left or at least the center - either would be better than the right alignment - but i have not been able to effect a change in the alignment.
Can anyone help me????? My cart is at: http://sparkleandshine.ca/catalog/ TIA :)

'Significant Snowfall' Possible for Morris County
Winter storm watch in effect starting Friday afternoon, with 5 to 10 inches of snow forecast for parts of New Jersey.
A winter storm watch is in effect for Morris County from Friday afternoon to Saturday morning, with forecasts showing the possibility of 5 to 10 inches of heavy snow being dumped on the region in that time.
The snow is expected to change to sleet and rain in some areas at times and could create hazardous travel conditions with greatly reduced visibility, according to a National Weather Service alert.
Jeffrey Paul, director of the Morris County Office of Emergency Management, said the office is monitoring the potential storm and how it might affect the county.
Forecasts suggest there could be minor accumulations early Friday, and then plowable accumulations between 7 p.m. Friday and 4 a.m. Saturday, he said. The National Weather Service says the storm is tracking northeastward and brings "the potential for a significant snowfall."
"We will continue to monitor storm data and provide updates should it become necessary," Paul said.

Robshaw heads new England
31 Jan 2012
Test rookie Chris Robshaw was named as England captain for the first two matches of their Six Nations campaign.
Robshaw, 25, earned his only cap against Argentina in 2009. He replaces Lewis Moody, who retired after last year's World Cup.
Interim coach Stuart Lancaster forged a good relationship with Robshaw while they worked together with the England Saxons and is a great appreciator of his leadership ability.
'It's a huge honour and a very proud day – hopefully one that will live in my memory for a long time to come. Thanks to everyone who has helped me, especially Quins,' said Robshaw in a Rugby Football Union statement.
'There's lots of other leaders in the group and they have been great since we met up. It's not about myself because there are six or seven guys around me who all have a massive role to play, whether that's bossing scrums, lineouts, attack, defence…
'[Coaches] Stuart [Lancaster], Graham [Rowntree] and Andy [Farrell] have given us the game plan and it's up to us to get it across to the other players to drive the standards and the squad forward in the right way.'

31 Jan 2012, 08:48 amLooks like Thomas Waldron may be the new England No 8
31 Jan 2012, 12:20 pm@stew-1:
*Waldrom, and it's unlikely.
31 Jan 2012, 20:16 pmWaldrom isn't even in the squad. this is the dawn of the new England, but it may be a year or so before they are realistically challenging the rest of the world. At least they have done the right thing and got rid of all the old rubbish, now its just a case of if the coaches have the balls to stick with the new young talent or not.

April 29, 2013 // As the Great Lakes region experiences massive flooding due to weeks of heavy rain, a new report from the National Wildlife Federation examines how intense rain events are exacerbating farm runoff and contributing to record toxic algal blooms in Lake Erie that impact public health, drinking water supplies and wildlife. The report warns that the storms driving harmful algal blooms will only become more common due to global warming.

Michele Iavagnilio was a young man who, through his work at the Cireneo Onlus Foundation, selflessly dedicated his efforts to helping and teaching autistic children everything from the simplest everyday task of tying their shoelaces, to more difficult concepts of expressing emotions or needs. He would even go above and beyond his basic job duties by recycling his old toys to present as gifts to the children to make their lives happier and brighter. Tragically, Michele died at the age of 25 in the devastating earthquake in the Italian city of L'Aquila in April 2009.
In order to apply for this scholarship, each student should submit a reference letter from someone who can attest to the student's roles and contributions to charity work in the community.

The recipient of this award must demonstrate an initiative to give back to society, an awareness of global community, and an intent to apply the skills and lessons learned abroad to his/her future endeavors.
In order to apply, each student should construct a 500 word essay that outlines his/her interest in social justice and service programs, any previous experience with similar initiatives, as well as a description of how the skills and lessons learned abroad will be applied to future endeavors that will contribute to the betterment of society.

I don't think I'll be waiting that long. Not near that long. I might make it to this weekend.
