Religions need books because they don't have gods.
You believe evolution and there is no evidence for that. Where is the fossil record of a half man half ape. I've only ever heard about it in reading.
Welcome! What martial art do you practice?
Welcome, Humanoid. I take it fishing is your profession; do you work for one of the big fleets or a smaller business?
Writing is my profession. I write for local newspapers and national magazines as a freelancer. News, features.. etc.
Thanks for the replies, Humanoid. Btw, your written English is very good. I've been told it's a very difficult second language to learn.
You're a journalist and a writer, but the fact you can call yourself a freelance one puts you a step ahead of me, although I've had stuff published, but I don't yet make money off of it, so I'm jealous of that
Hi humanoid,Welcome to WWGHA. I shouldn't be so direct, but I also hate to waste time. Question for you. We were arguing about the high tax rate in the Scandinavian countries compared to the US, and most people in the discussion conceded that the general quality of life in your area of the globe is not to shabby, and I for one feel that there are some great things you can teach the US about democracy that "mainly" our US republicans need to learn. Maybe I should start it in a thread, and maybe my point is too general, but think about it and I'd be interested in your opinion (and others from "up there") of how your higher tax rates have affected society. Current US philosophy seems to despise government and taxes so much that that we are willing to let Wall Street run the US and.......
Hi. New member "wrec" is also in your part of the world. It's the Finnish invasion!
Quote from: Ambassador Pony on July 05, 2012, 03:18:13 PMHi. New member "wrec" is also in your part of the world. It's the Finnish invasion!I love that! I have a really strange affinity for Finns. And Finland. Went there once, came home thoroughly convinced that's the country where fairy tales were born. It's beyond beautiful. Anyway, I can get so obsessive about anything Finnish I'll cheer for Finland in anything, from Eurosong to hockey. Even when they're playing my own country. Oh, almost forgot - welcome, Humanoid.
...husband to a woman and a fisherman.
You are from Slovenia? Being a flyfisherman I have been dreaming for two years of visiting your very beautifull country and going to fly fishing to Soca and Sava Bohinjka rivers. Those are the finest and most beautifull streams in whole Europe!
My experience with So?a is mostly limited to dunking myself in it during MetalCamp.
Fiji, you forgot Apocalyptica and Arto Paasilinna.
WelcomeQuote from: Humanoid on July 05, 2012, 02:27:05 PM...husband to a woman and a fisherman. So you have a plural marriage or is your woman also a fisherman?
Seriously though, been a while since I've been to your corner of the continent, Jyvaskyla to be precise. I remember, besides the bands, massively pretty girls and damn good pilsner beer. Oh and the fact that the melting point of a Finn seems to be somewhere between 20 and 25 degrees celcius. (it was a VERY hot summer)

Pandora syndrome: Rethinking our approach to idiopathic cystitis in cats
Keeping cats indoors has become common veterinary advice to reduce the risk of exposure to infectious diseases and injury from vehicles or other animals. This advice may not be completely beneficial or even benign for cats, however. As early as 1925, "too close confinement to the house" was suggested to increase the risk of lower urinary tract signs (LUTS).1
Many factors associated with indoor housing and LUTS have been investigated. Excessive body weight and decreased activity were associated with increased risk in some studies, and cats that only had access to indoor litter pans had an increased risk of LUTS compared with cats that could eliminate outdoors.2 Living with other cats has also been associated with LUTS, suggesting that social interactions or a horizontally transmitted infectious agent might play a role in the development of these signs.2,3 The lack of difference between cases and controls in viral disease rates and the increase in risk associated with the amount of time spent indoors seem to argue against an infectious agent as a common cause.In addition to the factors listed above, one case-control study of cats with LUTS reported an increased incidence of LUTS in cats that moved into a new house within the previous three months and during winter months2 ; further analysis revealed a highly statistically significant association with rainy days during the previous month rather than with the season. Access to outdoor prey was found to be protective.
In addition to LUTS, studies have found indoor housing to be associated with a variety of other common diseases in cats.3 For example, dental disease is reported to be the most common disease in pet cats. Although indoor housing was not identified as a significant risk factor in one study, in a subsequent study, indoor housing was associated with a 4.5-fold increase in risk for gingivitis, calculus, or periodontal disease. Obesity in cats is also a common problem, and apartment dwelling, inactivity, certain dietary factors, and being middle-aged, male, neutered, and of mixed breeding have been associated with being overweight. Indoor housing has been associated with a 1.6- to 15.8-fold risk for obesity, depending on the parameter measured.3 One recent study reported that indoor confinement and physical inactivity—but not the proportion of dry food fed—were associated with increased risk for type 2 diabetes.4
These and other studies conducted over decades and around the world have identified indoor housing as a risk factor for disease in cats. Differences among studies, particularly those that did not find increased risk, might have occurred for a variety of reasons. The first, of course, being that indoor housing is not a risk factor. However, the fact that indoor housing has been associated with a variety of different diseases studied at different times and in different places seems to argue against this interpretation. Differences in sample sizes and the questions asked, undoubtedly, also contributed to the differences. Because the cats in most recent studies were all housed inside, nothing can be gleaned regarding the contributing factor of indoor housing. The identification of differences in breed susceptibilities also suggests that internal factors, including genetic (which genes are present) and epigenetic (which of the genes present that are expressed) factors, also influence risk.

Do chimpanzees have culture? It may depend on your definition of that slippery concept, but a new study using juice and soft straws shows that chimpanzees fill a basic requirement: They can learn new behaviors from one another.
Many researchers argue that few species, and perhaps none besides our own, have the capacity for culture – learned behaviors to spread across a population and down through future generations. (For humans, the definition would include things like beliefs, aesthetics, moral codes and knowledge, but given that chimpanzees lack language and can't be asked about subjective thoughts, observable behaviors will have to do.)
Previous research had shown that wild chimps in separate communities would use sticks in different ways to fish for ants, a sign that such behaviors went beyond instinct. The new paper, published online Wednesday in the journal PLoS ONE, actually catches captive chimps in the act of learning such different tool uses.
The study presents "the first experimental evidence for chimpanzees' social transmission of a more efficient tool-use technique invented by a conspecific group member," according to the authors.

It didn't move far — just one block up Eastern Avenue — but the new Ikaros is a world apart from the original, which the Kohilas brothers opened in 1969.
Sometimes bigger is better. The new Ikaros, which opened last summer, has things the old one didn't, like a banquet facility on the building's second floor and a dedicated bar space, separated from the main dining room by a wall partition. The bar seems like a nice place to wait for a table, but when we visited, most guests kept close to the hostess stand instead, which seemed a bit overwhelmed.
The good news, for anyone concerned about the city's veteran restaurants, is that Ikaros was packed. You could play it safe and visit on a weekday. But I wouldn't. Saturday night at Ikaros is fun.
The dining spaces at the old Ikaros were cozy but cramped, and after four decades, a little worn out. The new dining room, which occupies the ground floor of a massive corner property, has the broad dimensions of an Athenian courtyard.
On a Saturday night, when the dining room was full, a duo played Greek music on guitar and bouzouki, the big, white-walled room took on a taverna atmosphere.
But the real reason to show up on a Saturday, or a Friday, is the rotisserie, another thing the old Ikaros didn't have the space for. You can see it, a free-standing, glass-fronted cabinet, as soon as you walk in. It's a thing of beauty, and you can tell there are good things waiting for you.
Provided on a menu insert, these offerings are listed by their Greek names only, so you'll have to do some asking.
The most basic preparation is kontosouvli (think souvlaki), basically boneless spiced lamb on a spit. We enjoyed this, but we were much more taken with the exohiko, a roll of lamb meat that's been stuffed with feta cheese and vegetables. There's more juiciness and variety of flavors in this country-style preparation, and it makes for a pretty presentation, too.
Know that the kokoretsi is organ meat like kidneys or sweetbreads, seasoned with olive oil, lemon, salt and pepper, wrapped in intestines. It's a lot less scary than it sounds, but we had to convince our waitress we knew what we were getting ourselves into. If you're inclined to like this kind of thing — I am — you'll love your first meeting with kokoretsi, which has the dusky appeal of rumaki, the classic appetizer of chicken liver wrapped in bacon. For Ikaros, just being able to offer it to customers is a source of intense pride.
There are other items listed on the new menu insert, but some of them were available at the old Ikaros. It's a little confusing. One of the genuinely new items is gigantes, which resemble in taste and appearance very large lima beans. They are tossed with carrots, onions, parsley and garlic, then heated in Ikaros' new brick oven. The result is fresh and mellow, as is another appetizer, a block of oven-heated and simply dressed feta cheese.
The balance of the menu are the Greek staples that Ikaros has been serving with success for 40-plus years. I'm always happy to see appetizers like the pretty pink taramasalata, a spread made from fish roe, and the tender pieces of octopus sauteed with herbs in white wine. Anchovies, though nothing special — they looked right out of a tin — taste good spread onto the good, crusty bread that Ikaros brings, quickly, to every table.
Along with the rotisserie, the larger space has also given Ikaros room to display its fresh fish, something Xenos Kahilas said he's always wanted to do. We enjoyed the direct flavors and moist textures of whole red snapper, prepared with olive oil and lemon, and served with wedges of buttery oven-baked potatoes.
Ikaros is happy in its new home, and from the looks of a Saturday night crowd when the place was bursting at its seams, so are its loyal customers.
If you can't go on a night when the rotisserie is working, you'll still have plenty to choose from — classic Ikaros dishes like roasted leg of lamb, pastitsio and fried cod, layered with endive and skordalia, a Greek garlic spread.
It all goes down well with a glass of inexpensive retsina and there's always room for honey-sweet treats, made on the premises, like baklava, galaktoboureko and kataifi.

Did Bruno Mars Come Out of the Closet?
Twitter and the rest of the Internet were abuzz this weekend, albeit briefly, about Bruno Mars. Why? A reputable website reported that the 'Lazy Song' singer came out as a homosexual. But was it true?
Not quite, at least as far as we know. CNN's iReport site, a news outlet by "citizen journalists" (anyone can post there, pending approval by editors), reported that Mars revealed that he was gay on a radio show on April Fool's Day. And yes, according to the report, which has since been removed, he was aware of the awkward timing.
"The timing is bad," Mars allegedly said in the interview (quotes via The New York Post). "I hadn't realized it was April Fool's Day, but it's been pointed out to me, and I don't want to go too public with this."
Turns out he may not have wanted to "go too public" because the story was bunk. Mars' reps told Gossip Cop that the interview was "completely fabricated" and 100 percent false. Mars himself hasn't commented on the rumors, likely because he either finds them too ridic to warrant an explanation or because if he keeps quiet, they'll die out a bit faster.
Regardless of who Bruno loves, we love him!

Luna has been struggling a bit with impulse control and resource guarding. We've implemented some strict house rules and started going to an intermediate manners class-- really a class to amp up distractions, duration, and to clean up cues and improve teamwork. She and I are also preparing to start work on her Rally Novice title in February.
This was from our first practice session (first 8-10 seconds, we were out of the frame and I forgot to edit that out ):
She and I had some class homework (prompt response to cues in new environments) and we needed to work on settling into a new place since the show is just under 3 weeks away and it's an overnighter! We went to the college campus and had a blast. After we settled in with some eye contact, she was a rock star!!
The fountain made a lot of noises and was pretty scary. But she wasn't afraid of heights:
Now we just have to work on "down" on different textured surfaces. She wasn't happy about it on the regular concrete. CERTAINLY not happy about it on brick.

Dem's da critters ... but when you find they're horrid, blame Mitch, not me eh?
Nah, I think they'll suit you because you've already expressed satisfaction with your flat bars. All these do is give you a bit more width and turn your wrist through 90 degrees - there's no change in height. If you have trouble getting them, I'll go back to the shop I got mine from and see if he has some more - won't be hard to post them over.
Ill take the blame if you don't like them...i can handle the criticism, that iand i love my bar ends.
My shop in maitland has a heap if either of you cant get them...i think i got them on special though when i got them with my bike. Normally $39 or something like that.

Daniel Sedin scores go-ahead goal in 3rd period, leading Canucks to 4-1 win over Avalanche
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Daniel Sedin scored the go-ahead goal in the third period and added an assist, Alex Burrows also had a goal and an assist and the Vancouver Canucks beat the Colorado Avalanche 4-1 on Thursday night.
Sedin took a feed from Burrows at the top of the left circle and sent a low wrist shot through Semyon Varlamov's legs — with twin brother Henrik Sedin screening in front — at 11:32 of the third to give Vancouver a 2-1 lead.
The goal was Daniel Sedin's 10th of the season but his first in five games — and only his second in 14.
Sedin assisted on Burrows' first-period goal, putting him two points behind his team-leading brother at 30 points. Henrik Sedin and Chris Higgins each had empty-net goals 44 seconds apart for the Canucks.
Cory Schneider stopped 30 shots to help Vancouver to its sixth straight victory. The Canucks are two points up on idle Minnesota in the Northwest Division standings.
During the win streak, Schneider has allowed just six goals to further cement his position as the team's No. 1 goaltender ahead of Roberto Luongo, who awaits a possible trade before Wednesday's deadline.
Matt Duchene scored for Colorado, which has lost four in a row and is tied for the fewest points in the NHL. Varlamov made 16 saves as the Avalanche fell to 2-12-3 on the road.
Vancouver has not lost in regulation to Colorado since Oct. 3, 2009, going 18-0-2 in that stretch.
Burrows opened the scoring at 4:27 of the first. Daniel Sedin made a no-look backhand pass to Henrik Sedin just outside the slot and the Canucks captain found Burrows at the side of the net for an easy tap-in, giving him nine goals on the year.
It was Burrows' second goal in three games.
Colorado went on a 10-0 run in shots on goal after Burrows took a holding penalty midway through the first. The Avalanche outshot the home team 21-15 through 40 minutes.
Schneider was up to the task, making numerous key saves, including two or three stops on Jamie McGinn on the power play. With six minutes to go in the first, Schneider made another good stop, coming across to rob Milan Hejduk's one-timer after Erik Johnson made a nice move to set him up in front of the Vancouver net.
The Avs weren't done yet. With two minutes to go in the first, P.A. Parenteau had two cracks at the Canucks' net but failed to get it past Schneider's pad.
The second period saw little in the way of offense, but Colorado tied it up four minutes into the third.
Parenteau went behind the net and stripped two Canucks of the puck before centering for Duchesne in the slot. Though Schneider got a piece of the one-timer, it beat him to the glove side, giving Duchesne 13 goals on the season.
Notes: Colorado was without Paul Stastny (foot), Steve Downie (knee) and Ryan Wilson (ankle). ... Vancouver was without Keith Ballard (foot), Zack Kassian (back), Ryan Kesler (broken foot) and David Booth (ankle surgery). ... Colorado's Ryan O'Reilly had a four-game point streak snapped.

Fashion and home decor motifs have completely invaded Halloween, and I love it! I first noticed the trend toward sophisticated patterns in last year's crop of Halloween lines, and this year many releases from CHA Summer 2011 have taken it to the next level with some truly stunning collections.
Newcomer Authentique kicks off our tour of eerily elegant Halloween designs with their Glowing line. Damasks and fleur de lis reflect the home decor influence in this collection, while the harlequin (diamond) pattern gives a nod to the fashion industry.

Is there anything better than laughing out loud at someone's parenting-themed FB status? It's far better than cringing when they talk about, say, their kid's poop progress or how little sleep they get or _____ (fill in the blank with whatever parenting cliche bothers you the most). Sure, there are times when other parents' facebook musings can make us feel bad (like when I see museum-quality artwork done by five year olds and can't help compare it to this), but other times, it's just what the doctor ordered. Smart, witty, I've-so-been-there posts that make us smile, laugh and nod in agreement about the way others approach this whole parenthood thing. Here are some recent updates that I liked—a lot.

My first grader learned the word "irony" today in class. Somewhere, Alanis Morissette weeps into her Chardonnay.

Owen is in this phase that when I tell him I will not buy him a toy, he gives me this knowing expression and says "Oh. You don't have any money do you." Not a question, but a statement. I'm not gonna lie, it's kinda pissing me off.

If you have children, you're supposed to be a responsible adult and not, like, drink yourself to sleep. On the other hand, you know, you have kids. It's a catch-22.

I asked Alex where her princesses were going. She said to the ball. I asked if they were going to dance. She said no, they're going to score goals. It's a soccer ball.

Molly just asked what's the difference between a toaster oven and a microwave. I said, "One browns things, the other zaps them." Jeremy rolled his eyes at me and is now five minutes into an explanation of frequencies and vibrations and heating elements. Hmph, I liked my answer better.
Amanda Hinnant
My 7-year-old just invented a drinking game at dinner. This does not bode well.
You'll notice there's one dad, there's one that has nothing to do with kids but is just funny (thanks, Julie!) and one about the cute thing her kid said because, as a soccer fan and a princess phobe, I freaking loved it. Even posts about cleaning can fascinate (whaaambulance? Best word ever!). There are also some repeat offenders, who have just been on their update game lately. Thanks, all, for brightening my newsfeed and my days! Anyone else have a great update they've seen lately? Share it here. And read more funny mom updates here and here.

Warwick Police join in 'click it or ticket' mobilization starting May 18
The Warwick Police Department will join local law enforcement officers and highway safety advocates for a Click It or Ticket seat belt enforcement mobilization, May 18 through May 24.
Officers will ticket motorists who fail to wear their seat belts – both day and night
With proper seat belt use, research shows that the risk of fatal injury to front seat passenger car occupants is reduced by 45 percent, and the risk of moderate to serious injury is reduced by 50 percent.
According to the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), seat belts saved more than 12,500 lives nationwide in 2010 alone.
Nationally in 2010, 51 percent of the 22,187 passenger vehicle occupants who were killed in motor vehicle crashes were not wearing seat belts at the time of their fatal crashes.
"The Warwick Police Department is strongly supporting the Click It Or Ticket mobilization May 18 to 24," said Lieutenant Michael Gilbert. "We will be out in force to remind drivers and occupants to always wear their seat belts, both day and night."
The fine for not wearing a seat belt is $85.
Here come the illegal road blocks called "checkpoints".
Why is it another adults business if I chose not to wear my belt? What business is it of yours? I can only cause harm to myself. Mind your own business! The only cops who write these tickets are ones that are on overtime. Talk about money hungry.
2010 49 % lived that were not wearing their seat belt. It's the type of crash. I do wear my seat belt ,but I did not think the government should be telling and forcing you to do so.
This is another cash cow for the city and State. Are they trying to keep people safe or raise revenue? I always wear my seatbelt but it should be my choice. My children do not have a choice, I make them wear them because I am responsible not because the Gov't tells me. The German Government set up checkpoints about 70 years ago and became very intrusive into the lives of their people.
Wish they would stop trying to make us swallow the excuse that it's about public safety. It's about revenue for the state, it's not about safety. Otherwise there would be a law requiring motorcycle drivers to wear motorcycle helmets. Where do you ever hear of an accident where the driver who was hit was hurt because the driver who hit them wasn't wearing THEIR seat belt? Buckle your kids but if you don't make motorcycle drivers wear helmets then why make car drivers wear seat belts?
I know a police officer and even he admits its a money making scheme.
If they are going to be out "reminding" then do that, don't FINE people.

Year in Music - How Will 2012 Be Remembered?
We're stumbling into year-end territory, and I'm planning some of DiS' year-end editorial at the minute (or at least revisiting albums and trying to see if there's a way to bring things into focus, to commission some pieces).
What events, themes and 'things' do you think will definite this year in music?
p.s. I've started compiling a playlist of stuff I've liked/DiS has championed this year. What's missing? http://open.spotify.com/user/seaninsound/playlist/7eTFllPZxW6TI2mK0WzOmY
As a patchy year
but a good one for the electronically-inclined, generally.
It's been the weakest year of this decade so far imo, but then 2010 and 2011 were so fucking strong it'd be hard for it not to be.
didn't a lot of people say 2010 and 2011 were weak years tho?
Not I, but I heard people hear saying as much. Maybe all years take a yearendageddon to make sense?
Well 2010 and 2011 weren't *incredible*,
but for album releases 2012 was even worse. Despite some exceptions, often electronic, I think this was the poorest year since I started listening to music. But obviously press and blogs have to say everything's THE BEST EVER so you keep reading.
There were loads of amazing gigs though, really loads. From tiny all the way to the O2.
I think I kinda made that admission in my Emeralds pre-amble a few years back, but maybe it should be A THING this year. There are some exceptional bodies of work (Blondes, in particular) and strong albums, but they all seem to have a few weak tracks (or a few really strong tracks, and a lot of middling ones). I can't think of an album this year that feels like a true era-defining classic - save for maybe Liars and Chromatics, but then they haven't had the hit songs or wider recognition which would make my argument for this. Quite surprised Sharon Van Etten and Twin Shadow haven't been even bigger successes. And that the Chairlift album seemed to get a little bit lost. Not looking forward to people getting OTT about Jessie Ware and Beach House, whilst ignoring things like School of Seven Bells and Efterklang. Gonna be a weird year-end this year, and possibly a little more varied than previous years.seedler this'd this
Chromatics' album is way too long. So there is some filler...
School of Seven Bells' album on the other side is great from start to end.
"but a good one for the electronically-inclined, generally."
According to you, what were the best electronically-inclined releases? I want to check if I missed something good...
What you are missing:
- RM Hubbert's new album Thirteen Lost and Found
- Arrange's New Memory
- Graven Hurst's The Ghost in Daylight
- Phantogram's Nightlife EP
- Tall Ships' Everything Touchingautomatik and Christophales this'd this

Lee Ranaldo – Off The Wall
The Cribs – Confident Men
RYAT – Owl
Death Grips – Lost Boys
William Basinski – dlp 1.1
Halls – White Chalk
It may be the most instant. I couldn't decide. I really love the album. Probably just like that one more as it was one of the first I heard.
switched. T U N E
technically a single last year
but whatevs, tune
You've got to have 'Mladic' on there
And something from the Swans album.
They'll certainly pad out the length.
i'll need to listen to this
so many bands/albums i haven't bothered to listen to. hopefully i'll pick up on something i missed first time round.
Although I love the William Basinski track, I must say it kills the flow of this mixtape.
a lack of standout singles as the charts are still (largely) clogged up with grating 'club' shite
but a quality year for albums.
- lots of older heads storming back into the fold: Fiona, Swans, Killer Mike, Godspeed....Scott Walker?
- some very exciting new r'n'b/rap talent making good on early promise: Frank Ocean, Kendrick, Death Grips, Miguel, Schoolboy Q
- a smattering of excellent alternative rock from still-fresh acts: Japandroids, Cloud Nothings, Tame Impala, The Men, Ty Segall
- perhaps the biggest thing is a superb spread of electronic releases from across the board, to name a few: Chromatics, Flying Lotus, Voices From The Lake, Actress, Four Tet, Claro Intelecto, John Talabot, Motion Sickness of Time Travel, Forward Strategy Group, Burial etc etcsean, GoatmeatMF, and Lililololaure this'd this
So much ^this
maybe DiS do more to promote british artists? Like a "best of British" year end list or something. Seems a lot of British indie label artists struggle to get the kind of attention a lot of US indie and major label UK acts get. Think django django are the only "unestablished" artist on this year's mercury list NOT on a major...
when it comes to looking back at the year from an end-of-decade persepective
2012 will have a lot more to say for itself than 2011; but less than 2010.
A Good Year for Baristas?
Every single one I've been in lately has been playing the new Beach House. A few are still playing Bon Iver tho.
- Royter-Hatfood this'd this
A Bad Year for Buzzbands?
Deap Vally are apparently not a super-ironic joke?! Savages are apparently the most amazing new band in the world right now, and yet all I hear is Yeah Yeah Yeahs b-sides...? So many more acts getting a moment of attention that seems to have even less logic to it than much of what made it into that buzzbands playlist. Who was your least favourite hyped act this year? There are a lot to choose from...
Like what the fuck is the point ..... was nice to see Beach House get some mainstream love, also Errors and Graham Coxon released good records ......... also was it this year that (Viva) Brother split up? That was pretty cool.
Seems a bit off not having any Flying Lotus in there
I'd maybe throw in Electric Candyman or Putty Boy Strut
For what it's worth, it's utterly pointless even losing sleep over this kind of thing
It's just yet another year during which some records came out ranging from good to bad and differing in most people's opinion anyhow.
For what it's worth, I think there have been 3 solid gold records this year: Aesop Rock, Bats and Swans, plus a whole heap of things I've really liked (Hot Chip, FOTL, El-P, Death Grips, RM Hubbert, Field Music, Four Tet) so that's a decent return in my eyes.
it will probably be remembered
as the year that confirmed that music fans, in general, are much more interested in the past than the future.
for me? an amazing year of beautiful albums - swans, sun kil moon, breton, neil halstead, music tapes, action bronson, - and tons of amazing shows and festivals. a classic for me personally in terms of music...
It was no 2007
thats for sure
Here's my assessment of the last decade in music
- automatik and orangejuice this'd this
That's very indie. Props to the audience.
The welcome return of Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Dead Can Dance.
The release of the remastered My Bloody Valentine back-catalogue.
Baroness nearly getting wiped out in a tour bus.
Errors' masterful blend of chill wave, post rock and electronica.
Purity Ring stepping up as the new face of 4AD.
Hot Chip and The 2 Bears making albums it feels impossible to like more than one other.
St. Vincent and David Byrns getting horny together.
TBC: Scott Walker scaring the shit out of everyone again.
Scott Walker is scaring the shit out of everyone again.
I'll probably claim that it was the worst in recent memory
until I start reading the end of year lists and all of the discussion surrounding them and realise how much I've missed out on, resulting in spending the first 4 months of 2013 catching up on 2012, deciding that it was actually a good year, missing what is being released in 2013 in the process meaning that I won't start appreciating music from the current year until nearer the end of 2013...
And repeat for 2013/14.funkycow, robluvsnic, and Splendidmcawesome this'd this
This is pretty much exactly what I've felt every year for the past few
and exactly what I've done the following year. I've really tried to keep up this year - on that basis it feels like a good-ish year. The best bits of this year (for me) - Grimes, Liars, Now Now and Black Swan are easily up there with the keepers from last year (Kurt Vile, EMA, Ringo Deathstarr, Wild Beasts and Walls). The runners up feel pretty good this year too.
Is there much else DiS-relevant on the release schedule? We're now getting Jan-Feb 2013 releases in, and to do great coverage takes time.
Most lists will start running in mid-November when the December issues of magazines hit shelves (some of these have already gone to print, so feel free to write a letter to your local MP if you have an issue with that).
From mid-November 'retail' (or HMV as its now known) flip all their new release racks to the year's biggest sellers and 'gift ideas' and the only new releases tend to be massive pop albums, best ofs, boxsets and few things that labels try to bury (like Fallout Boy or whatever)
But don't forget last year Kate Bush dropped 50 Words for Snow on us after October.
And that turned out to be album of the year, for me.
In list format.
3 out of 10
Best year yet.
Which is to say, that most music is uninspired - y'know hymns, songs for school plays, some kid on acid playing a marimba with his foot...
Don't really see how we could hit the lofty heights of 5/10 any time soon.
a pretty great year for rap and related artists
Aesop, Kendrick, Schoolboy Q, Frank Ocean, the RZA soundtrack, A$AP's upcoming album ... swish
There definitely should be a song from the Frank Ocean album in that playlist
I vote for Pyramids
- theShipment, littlebirds, JaguarPirate, WhiteLightWhiteCity, SCROTUM, rainmaker, kubrahhh, _TheBeautifulOnes_, Schadenfreude, and SarcasticFringehead this'd this
Very weak year for straight up indie rock
Divine Fits is the only good one off the top of my head.JaguarPirate this'd this
Is this the one with the guy from Spoon?
I wanted to hear that if it is.
what? Boeckner has another thing going?
how have I not heard about this earlier?
and the guy from Spoon
good album
Just read this and went to amazon and bought it.
Didn't know anything about it. You know Boeckner is in the superb Wolf Parade also? Fucking love Wolf Parade, and like Spoon a lot, too.
Can't speak for anyone else
But this is almost certainly going to be the year I stop thinking about music in terms of fucking release date.
I did this some years back and it changed my life.
I have no interest at all anymore in the 'this year was better than that year' debates. Keepin it smug.JaguarPirate, thedamnedear, and anal_schwarzenegger this'd this
i'm still interested in the whole end of year lists thing
but it always seemed stupid to me to compare one year to another, there'll be albums you love and albums you hate every year, what does it matter if here's a few more this year than that year?theShipment this'd this
I think I just like it because
Everyone makes playlists which are a good way of discovering some of the best music from the past twelve months.
The fact that this adheres to a calendar year and is then propped up against other calendar years is not something I particularly care about.JaguarPirate, sunstroke_house, theShipment, and SCROTUM this'd this
I def dont mind the listing of good stuff
at the end of years but its not like there's ONLY 50 albums I can check cos XXXX said I need to. I myself make a bunch of end of year lists, its fun.
You could discover music from any given year for the rest of your life and be fixated on that year being the best ever if you wanted to.
the year that GY!BE came back with a bang
and Tame Impala nailed the sophomore album syndrome
Mladic has to go in, best thing they've done for me
Warrior Song by Swans
Car Song by RM Hubbert
I'd put in shouts for Pinkunoizu, Tall Ships, AC Newman and Caspian as well.
a poor year so far
Including for dance music. There's been a lot of albums out admittedly but quite a few of them are just compilations of stuff from last year and generally look back to what was good a year or two ago. There's also nowhere near as much good stuff going on in the EPs which is the real area you look at for dance music health. For the most part it's all turned into stale, tasteful retreads of 90s genres.
Finally, a thread in which I don't feel totally alone in calling 2012 a poor year
Got better in the August-September period, but still worse than average. Especially since I think 2011 was honestly excellent.
Sorry sean, but couldn't give any input on the themes/scenes etc. of 2012. I reckon many DiSsers will be similarly apathetic. I recently asked someone I knew what the latest Four Tet release was like, his respone amounted to "yeah it's great because it's reflecting many of the things going on in the current London dance scene". Couldn't give a flying one.
Loads of stuff!
Plenty of good bands this year! Nico Vega and London's DEAF YETi for starters. Then there was the rerelease of all the Blur masters. What's not to like?Zoodark this'd this
Certainly not a vintage year
I feel like i've had to search hard for the good stuff
the US garage/lo-fi movement has produced jems from Ty Segall, Thee Oh Sees, Mac de Marco, The Intelliegence, Woods
I recon some of the Pitchfork big hitters have really underwhelmed with poor efforts from Animal Collective, Beach House, Ariel Pink
Grizzly Bear being the exception with probably my album of the year.
The Tame Impala record is also doing the business and the Flying Lotus LP is still leaving me a bit cold but i keep coming back to it.
Goat - World Music deserves a special mention for pure freakout magic and is my 'Peaking Lights- 936' of 2012 strangely their follow up 'Lucifer' is probably my biggest dissapoinment of the year which I still havn't quite got over.
Hyperdub were on fire early in the year with releases from Dean Blunt/Inga Copeland, Laural Halo and Burial all finding their way into my collection
also enjoyed efforts by David Byrne & St Vincent, John Maus, Diiv, Beak, SFV Acid and Ital
A good year but not a great year
Field Music
and Future of the Left
faves for me
wouldn't have picked Sorry Dad... as my FOTL song in your list Sean, but then it's one of those albums that people seem to be picking different favourites from.
The Seer by Swans is probably my favourite album of at least the last five years
but it's an unscalable peak amidst a sea of mediocrity. There's been an overwhelming number of disappointing albums from usually great artists (Dirty Projectors, WHY?, Beach House, and to a lesser extent Animal Collective), with a couple of notable exceptions (Grizzly Bear, Menomena). As well as Swans though, there have been some very solid returns from some golden oldies, GSY!BE and Mission Of Burma in particular.
I didn't forget that thread
I'm working on a little overview of my own, so fed up hearing people say the year has been rubbish. Very exciting year sonically overall, more details to follow. :)
- Icarus-Smicarus this'd this
most years are pretty good
especially if you like hip hop or electronic music or other genre's people can churn out loads of stuff for minimal expense
indie and that's pretty rubbish generally so it probably was this year as welljimitheexploder this'd this

Impressions from 2012
- Can't remember a year where the tracks in the chart have been so poor. There is so much of difference between the 'good' music you can get on the internet (without trying too hard) and the stuff peddled on the airwaves, it's frightening!
Reason: Have people with more in - depth musical experience or thirst for musical experience totally given up on the radio and chart format? - concentrating their attention to the internet and websites like Spotify, Soundcloud etc ..
... thus vacating the inferior playground of chart success to pre - teens, teens and people who don't care too much about music?
- Great year for what I would call good/great pop music. Once again, I think it is symptomatic that none of the albums I am going to mention below have managed to dent the charts, got any significant radio air time and have remained marginalised.
Is the only way people are going to get to know great/decent pop tunes through TV adverts?
I was reflecting how the best music on TV these days are on the ads (Santigold included.)!
So great pop .. (this is getting a bit tl;dr)
- Grimes
- Santigold
- Plvs Vltra
- Twin Shadow
- Metric
- Lost Lander
- Porcelain Raft
- Purity Ring (I think it might a bit too witchy maybe to fall in that category.)
- Francois and the Atlas Mountains
- Django, django (It's got that happy pop feeling)
- Citizens!
- Passion Pit
I missed loads but these are the albums I like. They have got that light hearted pop feel to them. Where do you hear them on the mainstream radios? Maybe Grimes, and I'm not sure how famous and mainstream she's become.
Next rock and other genres ...
On a personal level it`s probably my favourite since 95.
yeah, people will scratch their heads
years aren't memorable for music anymore.
To be honest...
both 2011 and 2012 are going to be remembered for hip/r&b (yes, i know they're not the same fucking genre but they're synonymous for much of the indie bedwetter crowd) becoming the most innovative and hot genres in music criticism culture.
The budding popularity and praise of Kendrick Lamar, Frank Ocean, Tyler the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, The Weeknd, Drake, Shabazz Palaces, Death Grips, Killer Mike, A$AP Rocky, El-P, Schoolboy Q, etc pretty much reaffirms this.
and yeah, i'm looking through the favorite hip-hop releases of 2012 thread and there's a certain buzz about the health of the genre that doesn't exist in any of the standard rock/electronic threads.
2012 was beige-vanilla-magnolia
If so many people on this site can get excited by terminally dull fare from Chromatics and Cloud Nothings then the music scene is truly stale
the year that "genres" finally fell apart
Everything seems to have been so cross-genre this year that I've struggled to see where records fit.

The race for president of Philadelphia's City Council just got a little narrower.
State Rep. Dennis O'Brien, who won a GOP at-large Council seat Tuesday, said Wednesday he will back Councilman Darrell Clarke for president of that body.
O'Brien said he sided with Clarke over his primary rival for the presidency, Councilwoman Marian B. Tasco, because he felt they could work together on key issues. O'Brien is a key advocate for children with disabilities, and he said Clarke had promised he, too, would work to help them.
"I just feel there are wonderful opportunities for cooperation," O'Brien said.
Both men also are connected to electricians' union leader John Dougherty, who is backing Clarke for Council president. A Dougherty-linked political action committee gave O'Brien $10,000 in the last weeks of his campaign.
Mayor Nutter supports Tasco, but doesn't get a vote. Only Council members do.

The fact that we are not given an extended account of Jesus' prayers in the Garden is in and of itself an indication that we have been given a valid, eyewitness account of what the disciples did see and hear that painful night.
Just staying within Matt26, the chapter with Gethsememe, we have several examples. 26:3-5 Then the chief priests and the elders of the people gathered in the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, 4 and they conspired to arrest Jesus by stealth and kill him. 5 But they said, "Not during the festival, or there may be a riot among the people."How would the writer of Matt know that?
26:14-15 14 Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, "What will you give me if I betray him to you?" They paid him thirty pieces of silver. How would the writer of Matt know that?
26:48 Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "The one I will kiss is the man; arrest him." How would the writer of Matt know that? A true eye witness may not have even known Judas had betrayed him and certainly would not have know there was a signal.
In 26:58 it seems as if the writer was aware he needed a witness so he had Peter follow the captive jesus H all the way to the courtyard of the high priests. Does it seem odd that he would be able to infiltrate so far into their HQ so as to be able to hear their plotting?
This kind of problem is all over the NT and even the OT. Moses' funeral is described in a story supposedly written by moses. And which apostle was it that witnessed satan tempting jesus H?
It's amusing that the in the link MM provided, they ignorantly call it a "know it all narrator".
They also try to say that the fact that Matt is so obviously flawed is a reason to think it is legitimate. Yeah, good answer.
Mark, not Matthew. (in the link I provided). And I think it's a valid point. The inconsistencies have always served to invalidate, in my mind, claims that the NT writers were part of a shared deception.
I guess...

Does it seem odd that he would be able to infiltrate so far into their HQ so as to be able to hear their plotting? Maybe. Maybe not. He didn't get away with it in any case, remember? Denied he knew Jesus when accused.
The moses thing..that is strange. I have no idea.
I don't see why Jesus can't have told the apostles about His temptation.
Clearly, the apostles were not strictly eye-witnesses to everything.
As in Luke, there appears to have been investigation and knowledge obtained from other sources.
Actually, I think they were alluding to Mark being called that by critics.
^No it wouldn't. Try and imagine for a moment what that narrative would sound like.
If Katy Price can manage to write an autobiography the most powerful being in the universe should be able to manage it.As nogodsforme says, a holy ghost writer could fill in the bits he wasn't there for
So how'd he know???
Quote from: Boots on May 03, 2013, 09:39:35 PMSo how'd he know???Jesus was with his disciples 40 days after his resurrection but before his ascension. He may have filled in the details then.

Intel Realizes No One Is Going To Confuse A Newsletter About Mexico With Its Processors [Update]
from the about-time dept
Last year, we wrote about Intel's trademark lawyers getting over aggressive in suing the owners of the Mexico Watch newsletter for using the domain name LatinIntel.com In this case, it was clear that "intel" was the commonly abbreviated version of "intelligence," and no one was going to be confused and think that a newsletter about Mexico had anything to do with a company making microprocessors.
For whatever reason, it appears that common sense has finally prevailed, and we've been alerted to the fact that Intel has dropped its lawsuit. Or not. Instead, it appears the details are that the court dismissed most of the claims, but left Intel the right to amend and refile its complain -- which Intel tells us it's going to do. We've asked for more info from Intel on its reasoning.
Of course, a simpler course of action would have been to have not sued in the first place...

Notice of merger - GRAINLAND Cooperative and MINIER COOPERATIVE GRAIN COMPANY
Wednesday, July 16, 2014 — [Bloomington, Illinois] - The shareholders of GRAINLAND Cooperative and MINIER COOPERATIVE GRAIN COMPANY approved a merger of company operations effective Aug. 1, 2014. The newly formed company will continue business under the name GRAINLAND Cooperative. Jeff Brooks will be the general manager and Keith Swigart will be the merchandising manager.
Each company has been an established presence in their respective area for over 100 years. In 1999, Farmers Grain Cooperative of Eureka merged with Secor Elevator Company to form GRAINLAND Cooperative. The new company maintained three locations and over 10 million bushels of storage capacity with rail loading capability at its Eureka, Illinois location.
MINIER COOPERATIVE GRAIN COMPANY merged with Emden Farmers Grain Co in 2007 and continued business as MINIER COOPERATIVE GRAIN COMPANY. This transaction resulted in a rail loading location at Emden, Illinois for a total of three locations and over 10 million bushels of storage capacity.
"Combining two strong cooperatives will result in even greater financial strength to protect the interests of members and patrons," Brooks said. "This move will also provide a broader-based operation to better meet future needs and requirements of our patrons, and allow for more efficient use of facilities, equipment, and personnel."
GRAINLAND Cooperative will have six locations with 21 million bushels of storage capacity. The locations, all located in Illinois, are Eureka, Secor, El Paso, Minier, Emden, and Armington.
The corporate office address is: 101 N Main, PO Box 650, Minier, IL 61759. Brooks and Swigart can be reached at 309-392-2424.

Indiana Securities Division reaches agreement with Citigroup Global Markets over supervisory matter
November 8, 2010
Division believes investment company violated Indiana Securities Act for not properly monitoring investment transactions of a former agent
INDIANAPOLIS (Nov. 8, 2010) – Following a nearly three-year investigation by the Indiana Securities Division, CitiGroup Global Markets – an arm of CitiGroup – agreed, without admitting fault, to pay fines, restitution and other costs totaling $717,000 for not properly supervising a former agent.
In a consent agreement signed recently by both parties, Citigroup Global Markets consented to pay the Indiana Securities Division $400,000 in fines, $142,000 in restitution and $175,000 in other costs.
"This is one of the largest fines levied against one company by the Securities Division," Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita said. "This fine is a consequence of what we believe is the company's failure to supervise an investment situation affecting Hoosiers. We take seriously a company's role as a supervisor of their agents in all financial matters involving Indiana investors."
The investment banking company's agreement to pay the fines and penalties stems from allegations the company failed to monitor its former agent, Mark Singer. Singer was a registered representative of Smith Barney, a former branch of Citigroup Global Markets. He is currently awaiting trial in Marion County after being accused of working with Robert Nelms, a man who pled guilty to securities fraud offenses involving a $24 million cemetery trust fund in Indiana. Singer is also awaiting trial in Tennessee.
Under Indiana Code 23-19-4-12(d)(9), companies are responsible to "reasonably supervise an agent, investment adviser representative, or other individual." Companies failing to keep proper supervision of their advisers, even for non-company related business, may be subject to disciplinary consequences by the Indiana Securities Division.

Re: How to export multiple packages in one file to another Perl program?by Tanktalus (Canon)
|on Oct 05, 2012 at 03:34 UTC ( #997368=note: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
"How" really depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Generally, I try to avoid this, but it's definitely not always possible.
1. As far as I'm aware, you can't export my variables. Use our instead. The issue here is that my variables are lexical variables, and to export a variable it must be global. (Variables created with our are also lexical, but they're aliases to global variables in the package in which the our occurred. If that's confusing, as long as you only have one package per file then it's roughly the same thing as "it declares a global variable".)
2. Don't put more than one package in the same file. Really, don't. Yes, some people do it. I even do it. But if you're getting confused by it, don't. I only do it when it's a small hidden package that I don't expose to anyone. That sounds to be about the opposite of what I interpret you're trying to explain that you're doing. If that sounds like someone is confused, it's because I am.
3. You don't export packages. use STDLIB qw(OBJECT1) doesn't make any sense when OBJECT1 is a package.
4. Package names are generally TitleCase, not ALLUPPERCASE, even if IT_HAS_UNDERSCORES. Constants are often all uppercase, but not package names.
5. Only the "primary" package in a file gets to export stuff. While this is not technically true, it's close enough. When I "use STDLIB", only STDLIB's import gets called. That means either STDLIB's import needs to be super fancy, or I can only import stuff from the STDLIB package.
6. The "1;" is a file-level thing. So it's only needed once at the end of the entire file.
7. XY Problem. What are you really trying to do? What interface are you trying to provide? If it's simply that someone can say my $obj = OBJECT1->new(), then you don't need to export anything. If it's that you want them to say my $obj = OBJECT1->new($OBJ1_CONSTANT1), consider using strings instead, or multiple constructors, e.g., my $obj = OBJECT1->new_with_const1(). Ok, that last one isn't a good name, but neither is OBJ1_CONSTANT1, so I can't suggest a better name.
8. Oh, and "my OBJ1_CONSTANT1;" doesn't make any sense. You're missing the sigil, so I'm not sure what type of constant you're going for here.
9. Once you've separated everything into separate files, take a look at Import::Into. I've used this to import from module X when doing "use Y;". Works pretty good so far, though I can imagine some places where even that won't be sufficient (but we're talking about arcane stuff, and I'd encourage avoiding said arcane stuff).
Hope that helps.

When you call the MQCreateAsyncMessageConsumer() function or the MQCreateAsyncDurableMessageConsumer() function, you must pass the name of an MQMessageListenerFunc type callback function that is to be called when the consumer receives a message to the specified destination.
The MQMessageListenerFunc type has the following definition:
MQError (* MQMessageListenerFunc)( const MQSessionHandle sessionHandle, const MQConsumerHandle consumerHandle, MQMessageHandle messageHandle void * callbackData);
The handle to the session to which this consumer belongs. The client runtime specifies this handle when it calls your message listener.
A handle to the consumer receiving the message. The client runtime specifies this handle when it calls your message listener.
A handle to the incoming message. The client runtime specifies this handle when it calls your message listener.
The void pointer that you passed to the function MQCreateAsyncMessageConsumer or the function MQCreateAsyncDurableMessageConsumer.
The body of a message listener function is written by the receiving client. Mainly, the function needs to process the incoming message by examining its header, body, and properties. The client is also responsible for freeing the message handle (either from within the handler or from outside the handler) by calling MQFreeMessage.
In addition, you should observe the following guidelines when writing the message listener function:
If you specify MQ_CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE as the acknowledge mode for the session, you must explicitly call the MQAcknowledgeMessages function to acknowledge messages that you have received. For more information, see the description of the function MQAcknowledgeMessages.
Do not try to close the session (or the connection to which it belongs) and consumer handle in the message listener.
It is possible for a message listener to return an error; however, this is considered a client programming error. If the listener discovers that the message is badly formatted or if it cannot process it for some other reason, it should handle the problem itself by re-directing it to an application-specific bad-message destination and process it later.
If the message listener does return an error, the client runtime will try to redeliver the message once if the session's acknowledge mode is either MQ_AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE or MQ_DUPS_OK_ACKNOWLEDGE .
