You know the kind, when a solution just falls out of the sky and you look like a complete fucking genius? When your co-workers start kissing your feet and bringing you chocolate and flowers?
Yeah, one of those.
Several of my users at work have been having a particularly maddening problem with their Mail application on their Intel-based Macs. Very long hangs when replying to e-mails with formatted text (why people insist on pink text in e-mail is beyond me) or when attaching files. Aggravating beyond belief.
At first I thought it was just one machine, and I suspected that the e-mail client was having trouble with the fact that this person probably has seven years worth of e-mails archived. Then it happened to another user. And another. And another.
What the fuck?
I'd been Googling all over the place, trying to track something down, and I was also trying random solutions as they occurred to me. Cleaned all the system caches, reinstalled the system software, sacrificed a chicken, indulged in stream-of-consciousness profanity. Nothin'.
I was beginning to feel like an idiot.
This afternoon I finally put together what all of these users have in common: They're all running Parallels Desktop for Mac, which is a virtualization program which allows Mac users to run Windowze without having to reboot.
So I started poking around in the network preferences, and found a couple of Parallels settings. Even though they were at the bottom of the list (meaning they were checked last) they were still being polled by the e-mail client in these cases. Turn those off and, hey-presto, suddenly Mail is a halfway useful e-mail client again.
I honestly feel like the answer just dropped out of the sky and landed on my head.
I left work an hour early; there was no way I was gonna top that, so why even try.

This practical introduction uses theories of language to explore different aspects of Scottish literature. It includes material on varieties of Scots and Scottish English, linguistic approaches to literary studies, the grammar of texts, vocabulary, metaphor, poetic metre, language in use, point of view, narrative, stereotypes of the Scots, discourse and reading older Scottish texts. Extensive examples demonstrate the application of the theories, from poems and ballads to a football report, and from short stories to extracts from film scripts and plays.
About the Author
John Corbett is Professor of English at the University of Macau and a Senior Research Fellow of the University of Glasgow. He is the author of Language and Scottish Literature (1997) and he co-edited The Edinburgh Companion to Scots (2003).
Pure deid brilliant so it is' ... immensely readable, at times even entertaining ... I strongly recommend this book to all who are living and working in Scotland who have even a passing interest in the language and literature of their native or adopted country.

Free Educational School Visit of the Ice Rink
Murrayfield Ice Rink is pleased to offer to any school in and around Edinburgh a great opportunity to discover and learn about the Ice World.
All through this school year we will welcome classrooms, taking them on a Free Educational Visit around the building, which boasts a great deal of history as well as modern technology.
The pupils/students will be taken on a guided tour experiencing first-hand what it takes to have ice all year around and how to keep it in a condition for all the different on-ice activities.
Murrayfield Ice Rink has served the community of Edinburgh and the Lothians for almost 60 years and we are not planning to stop anytime soon. This is why we offer the schools this Free Educational Visit giving teacher an additional learning tool for parts of their curriculum.For more information or to make a booking, please have your teacher contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will take care of the rest...
Nursery and Primary 1 Offer
Why not add this tester session after the visit of the rink. The children will get 30 minutes on the ice to experience the joy of gliding in the safest environment possible.
The children will be equipped with helmets ; wrist, elbow and knee pads ; and obviously skates. Our resident coaches, that are certified by N.I.S.A. (the National Ice Skating Association) will be on the ice to help the children build their confidence in this new environment.
This offer is best suited for children aged 4 to 6 as skating is really demanding on core strength. Our smallest size of skates is C5.
Murrayfield Ice Rink offer this service to the school for only £90 per classroom.
For more information on how ice skating fits into Physical Education you can consult our Ice Skating for School Booklet.
If your school would like to make a booking, it can contact us either via e-mail at email@example.com or by phone on 0131 337 69 33
Primary 2 to Secondary 3: Discovery Ice Skating Class
Murrayfield Ice Rink has put together for you the ultimate school trip for Primary 2 and over, combining Safety, Sport Education and of course Fun.
- Safety: the children will go on the ice wearing helmet as well as wrist, elbow and knee pads. They will be taken on a 30 minutes group lesson lead by our resident coaches that are all accredited by N.I.S.A. (the National Ice Skating Association).
- Our educational process is to let the pupil act, to encourage activity of exploring and testing (favoring a large amount of actions) and by changing situations to diversify the motor skills using variables (space, time, equipment, partner, actions...).
- The fun comes after the group tuition, where for 20 minutes we put on the disco lights and some music so the children can enjoy the new skills they just learned. An Ice Steward will stay on the ice to limit the risk of accident.

Trace My Roots in County Cork
Many of you who are visiting County Cork in Ireland from overseas during The Gathering may wish to trace your roots in Cork and explore your family history to find out where exactly your ancestors came from.
There is a global Irish diaspora of 70 million. Are you one of them? Instead of waiting for you to find us, we're inviting you back for The Gathering Ireland 2013. It might just be the perfect time to come and find out more about your forefathers and forge a deeper connection with our country. Cobh which is located in Cork harbour was the main embarkation point for millions of emigrants from Ireland to North America (Annie Moore from Cobh was the first person processed through Ellis Island in New York), Australia, The UK and many other destinations which soon became their home.
Tourism/Things to do
Area 1 Grand Parade
Grand Parade was originally a channel of the River Lee. The original Hiberno-Norse settlement of Cork grew up on its west bank.
The river channel existed until at least 1690, when it is shown on a map of Cork. At this time, the east bank was still largely undeveloped, with only a bowling green shown in the area.
By 1726, buildings had developed on the east bank, but the river channel remained in place. In a 1774 map, the northern portion of the street between Oliver Plunkett Street and Daunt Square had been reclaimed, but the southern portion was still a dock. Finally, by 1801, the river channel had completely disappeared and the street was fully present.
Area 2 St.Patricks Street
St Patrick's Street (Irish: Sráid Naomh Pádraig) is the main shopping street of the city of Cork in the south of Ireland. Since its redevelopment in 2004, it has twice won the award as Ireland's best shopping street.
St Patrick's Street runs in a curve from Saint Patrick's Quay to Daunt Square, where it meets Grand Parade. The street obtains its curved shape due to its location over an arm of the River Lee. It is home to a number of notable retail outlets such as Brown Thomas, Dunnes Stores, Debenhams (formerly known as Roches Stores), Marks & Spencer and Penneys.
A monument to Fr. Theobald Matthew, the Apostle of Temperance, stands at the northern end of the street facing St. Patrick's Bridge over the River Lee.
The street dates from the late 18th Century as the city expanded beyond the walls of the ancient city which was centered on North & South Main Street. During the 1780s many of the streets that now form the city centre of Cork were formed by the spanning of the river channels between the islands of the Lee.
Patrick Street is affectionatly known to Corkonians as "Pana".
Parts of Patrick Street were extensively damaged during the Irish War of Independence in an event known as the "Burning of Cork".
Area 3 MacCurtain Street
MacCurtain Street Cork previously called King Street was named after Republican Lord Mayor Tomás Mac Curtain who was assasinated by members of the Royal Irish Constabulary in March 1920.
Area 4 Port of Cork
The Port of Cork is the key seaport in the south of Ireland and is one of only two Irish ports which service the requirements of all six shipping modes i.e. Lift-on Lift-off, Roll-on Roll-off, Liquid Bulk, Dry Bulk, Break Bulk and Cruise.
The port has made impressive strides in recent decades. Since 2000, the Port of Cork has invested €72 million in improving Port infrastructure and facilities. Due to its favourable location on the south coast of Ireland and its modern deepwater facilities, the Port of Cork is ideally positioned for additional European trading as well as for yet unexploited direct deep sea shipping services.

A well-developed road infrastructure eases the flow of traffic from and to the port. The Port of Cork's growing reputation for quality service, including prompt and efficient vessel turnaround, ensures its position as a vital link in the global supply chain.
Area5 St Patrick's Quay
Like most of the quays in Cork, St Patrick's Quay was constructed during the nineteenth century. The quays along the North Channel are generally founded on massed concrete. The quay walls are built from rubble masonry and faced with limestone behind timber pilings. James Beale, a Quaker merchant and owner of the famous Monard spade mills, had a retail premises on the quay in 1824. Between 1894 and 1896, over 365 metres (1,200 feet) of timber wharfage was added to St Patrick's Quay and Penrose Quay. At the time the photograph was taken in 1939, the premises on the quay included garages, public houses, offices of shipping agents, coal merchants' stores and the coal stores of the Metropole Hotel.
Area6 Shandon(Church of St Anne)
The Church of St Anne is a Church of Ireland church located in the Shandon district of Cork city in Ireland. It is situated a top a hill overlooking the River Lee, and the church tower of is a noted landmark and symbol of the city. The church bells were popularised in song in the 19th century, and remain a visitor attraction.
Area7 Cork City Gaol
The old Cork City Gaol is located 2km from Cork City's main thoroughfare, a 20 minute walk from Cork City Centre, this castle like prison, Cork City Gaol, once housed prisoners in the 19th century, often in wretched conditions. Wandering through the impressive wings of Cork City Gaol, the atmosphere suggests you are accompanied by the shuffling feet of inmates, each representing their particular period in Irish history from pre-famine times to the foundation of the State. Along with recounting Cork history, Cork City Gaol is also worth a visit to appreciate the Georgian/Gothic architectural work which is Cork City Gaol.
Area8 UCC (University College Cork)
University College Cork - National University of Ireland, Cork (UCC) (Irish: Coláiste na hOllscoile Corcaigh) is a constituent university of the National University of Ireland. The university is located in Cork.
The university was founded in 1845 as one of three Queen's Colleges located in Belfast, Cork, and Galway. It became University College, Cork, under the Irish Universities Act of 1908. The Universities Act 1997 renamed the university as National University of Ireland, Cork, and a Ministerial Order of 1998 renamed the university as University College Cork - National University of Ireland, Cork, though it continues to be almost universally known as University College Cork.
Area9 South Mall
South Mall , is one of the main streets of Cork city, Ireland. It runs from Grand Parade in the west to Parnell Place in the east. Like St. Patrick's Street it is built over what was once a channel of the River Lee.

Retirement didn't slow Cathy down. After her departure from the MBL in 2011, she served as an MBL Library Scholar, a consultant for the National Library of Medicine, and helped develop the History and Philosophy of Science Program and MBL History Project. She later served as the Falmouth Representative to the Authority Board of Governors of the Steamship Authority, while continuing her almost 40-year career as a Justice of the Peace, having presided over the marriages of hundreds of couples.
Cathy's attitude was that we can do anything if we work together, learn how to do it, and do it with style. The Catherine N. Norton Fellowship will make it possible for others to follow her path of innovation in library and information science—bringing together education and scholarship in the best possible ways. Cathy expected the future to look different from today, and this fellowship will help support those who will help bring the change.
Cathy's obituary can be found here
The Catherine N. Norton Fellowship is a permanent endowment administered by the MBL Library. Proceeds will be used to cover approved expenses for a student or early career fellow to work using tools and resources at the Library or Archives at the MBL on a defined project. Selected fellows must be committed to the principles Cathy Norton represented by having the project be openly accessible, collaborative, innovative, connective, and laying the foundation for new scientific knowledge. Applicants may propose their own project, as Cathy always loved a good idea, or participate in a project defined by the Library.
We hope that you will contribute generously to the fund.

[interview by nichtig]
We invite you to read the interview with Vomit Orchestra. About music, drugs and altered states of mind and consciousness. Have a nice trip!
What drugs have had the strongest impact on your life and creativity? What would be the proportion of their negative and positive effects?
I suppose the drug that has had the strongest impact on my life would be alcohol, in the sense that it is a very destructive drug with little to no redeeming value. If you mean in a positive sense, it would be broken down into "eras".
I used a lot of marijuana when I was younger, which gave me fantastical ideas and surely influenced large amounts of the old Vomit Orchestra material (all of my music recorded as a teenager, for that matter). I could hear music clearer, and I found other moods and atmospheres while stoned off my ass in the middle of the woods for hours on end. The negative side of marijuana should be obvious- it turns people into lethargic morons after a while.
Somewhere along the line I started taking amphetamines, which helped me stay focused while recording, and much of what I now know about recording techniques I learned while on amphetamines. I'll always be thankful for that aspect. The negative? Amphetamines are absolute shit after you've been on them for a few months, and will destroy your creativity by forcing you to focus on the most mundane, meaningless details imaginable. When you do that, you get burnt out, and you stop. Amphetamines are the reason there weren't any Vomit Orchestra releases from 2007 onward; I had burnt myself out, and it took years, even after I'd quit, for me to want to record music again. I had to start from the beginning again (four-track recordings) and work my way back into the digital realm, like some sort of bizarre rebirth. That's where the Nod project came from (which I'll discuss later).
Benzodiazepines are an interesting one, in that on one hand they kill the anxiety that might come along with trying to compose a new song, but if you don't write down what you wrote, or record it, you aren't going to fucking remember it!
LSD is a great drug for creativity, but I cannot possibly imagine recording anything of use on it. It seems like the sort of thing where whatever you are doing makes sense under the influence, but would sound incredibly dull and useless after you sober up. I have one recording that I made on LSD, where I played drums and a friend played flute. While it is very interesting, it's also entirely useless and bizarre, when compared to how we thought it sounded at the time.
Opiates are the only drug worth a shit when it comes to creativity, and that's only because they don't seem to have a lot to do with it one way or another- they just help me want to get off my ass and "be creative", so they serve as a fuel. The entire "Eptirconvellere" album was recorded and mixed under the influence of an opiate prescription after a hospital stay. The negative aspect there is that they are clearly addictive and will destroy your life if you let yourself become an addict. At that point, I can't imagine they serve any "fuel" type function. They just make you a loser.
I need to stress, though, that the biggest thing that has affected my creativity has been the fact that I am naturally a creative and curious person. If anything, drug use hindered my creative outlet at a certain point in my life. Vomit Orchestra wasn't formed as a "drug band", and while I'm sure drugs have affected a lot of what I've done musically, the bigger picture here is that drugs were just one of a multitude of life experiences I've had that have shaped who I am and how I approach art. If you take drugs out of the equation, the rest of what influenced my life and how I make music would still be there.
One of your new compositions is titled Lorazepam (I'm on it at the moment, haha). While I was lying in the dark, convolving in pain (pyrogenic injection), it came to my mind to ask you about a couple of things. What kind of a role do psychoactive substances play in your life? Have you ever experienced drug induced psychosis and have had to be hospitalized? How would you compare the suffering, which can be brought with drug use, to physical and psychical sufferings, that people inflict upon one another?
Well, I have been a drug user with varying degrees of frequency for over half my life. It's always been a hobby, not an addiction. Any time I saw it becoming a potential problem, I simply stopped for a while. My interest and use peaked about seven or eight years ago, however. I have experienced enough drugs with enough regularity to find them generally dull and uninteresting these days. Most of the drugs I use now are prescribed to me for a legitimate ailment, and I simply enjoy them while I have them. The song Lorazepam, for instance, is called as such because I was given a massive shot of that particular drug in the hospital to save my life during a series of seizures a week or so before recording the song. The entire "Eptirconvellere" album is about that event.
I have never been hospitalized for drug-related psychosis, but I have had drugs induce a sort of psychosis in me while being hospitalized. When I was younger, I had pretty severe insomnia. At one point I hadn't slept much in days, and it was causing me serious problems. So I was taken to the hospital. When I arrived I was injected with a benzodiazepine, the name of which I cannot remember. The dosage must have been fairly high, because I began having very vivid hallucinations while laying in the hospital bed. I saw energy coming out of the electrical sockets, some of it directly at my face. In the hallway, there were these weightless, square nets consisting of "white energy" and "black energy", one chasing the other back and forth down the hallway, sort of pulled through the air like jellyfish, or leaves blowing upward during an Autumn day. A bit later, they all went the same way, down the hall to the left, and from the right side a figure appeared who was wrapped up in these nets, but in a sort of dark grey shade, not black or white. Its face kept changing shapes, always appearing as some sort of ancient Roman bust, and although it wouldn't look at me, I recognized that it acknowledged me. I immediately realized that this was Death, and it walked the halls of the hospital. As it passed to the left, a couple last "energy nets" followed behind it, and then the hallucination stopped. It was without a doubt the most vivid hallucination I've ever had, and it didn't occur on any psychedelic drug. My guess is that it was caused by my insomnia coupled with a substance that furthered my exhaustion.
You're not unfamiliar with experiencing the abyss / altered states of consciousness. Do you consider yourself as a polytheist, an occultist, a heretic or do such "things" make no sense to you?
I'm interested in my own experiences, and that's about it. I cannot put words to it, typically. I'm an epileptic, for instance – and the experience of a seizure is a very surreal, almost spiritual experience for me prior to and immediately after it occurs. What name shall I put on that? How can I explain that to a "normal" person who has never experienced an aura before? I cannot. It's something far more real and grounded in empirical observation than any occult bookstore mumbo jumbo, and I'm willing to bet, based on all ancient views of epileptics, a much more powerful spiritual tool. There's a reason so many of us have done so much in the realm of both spirituality and art.
So no, I'm really not interested in studying the occult, although I do find the study of different religions interesting from time to time from a philosophical standpoint. At one point I was very interested in the occult, but philosophy by itself is far more interesting to me without the need for any sort of ritualization. If that's necessary for some people to focus their thoughts and better their minds, then that is great. It's not necessary for me.
If you're actually a practicing occultist / Chaos magus, how long did it take to move from the assimilation of theoretical principle to acting itself? What would be your advice for a novice in the occult realm?
My advice, based on what I said before, would simply be to base all views and actions on your own perceptions of reality, forgoing the structures and rigors of any set of guidelines. It's far more rewarding and far more grounded in reality – your reality.
What's your opinion on the direction in which went your former co-musician Emit? Are you two still in touch?
Emit will always be one of my favorite recording projects. Very few things are so unique, in any artform – and I truly mean that. I can hear 10 seconds of any recording and know immediately if Michael was involved or not. That is rare in an artist, and shows his skill level. He is by no means a former co-musician, as we are still in touch and still share ideas, plan collaborations, etc. He's my longest-running contact, and friend really, that I made in the "music scene".
A propos the use of violin on your latest LP, or more specifically, the conjoining of electronic music with classical instruments: the effect, in my humble opinion, transgresses the orchestral A Winged Victory for the Sullen, for instance. Not without a reason, both projects are phenomenologically extremely different – "Eptirconvellere" is like a place, where that which is music-wise close to Sacrum meets the destructive, transgressive face of what Georges Bataille named 'informite'. Am I listeninig to Eptirconvellere correctly?
Well, there is no right or wrong way to listen to it, as it's down to the listener to decide for his or herself what it means and why it exists. I really cannot make that decision for you. In fact, I'm not sure that I'm even allowed to have an opinion on the matter, as the creator.
How did you come to cooperation, you and sb (the man responsible for the violin on "Eptirconvellere")? A truly unique music conjunction, I'd even say rather lighthandedly, that a piano album such as "Peaceful Snow" by DiJ & Miro Snejdr, is simply miserable in comparison to what you two just did.
Thank you for the compliment. Actually, "SB" is a female, but I'm sure she would appreciate your complimenting her playing. I directed the mood of the violin piece, but she improvised my ideas over the top of the recording, so it was really her "feel". I met her through my wife, as they have been friends for many years. I hope we can do other things together, but I never really know what my collaborations will look like – or if there will be collaborations at all. It really depends on what the song calls for. For instance, I cannot imagine violin on any of the other songs on the album. We tried a few, and it simply did not fit at all. In the future, if violin is required I'd gladly ask for her help again, and if not, I'd ask somewhere else.
What's the situation with you solo project NOD – has it been put on hold? I hope not. Maybe the "Iokanaan" EP you're about to issue via your Static Grief Industry, incorporates what was primarily designed under the NOD moniker?
There's a lot of confusion on what Nod was. It wasn't really a solo thing, as much as it was a way to develop my recording abilities again after I had quit in 2007.
For that matter, Nod was really just a low-key version of Vomit Orchestra, a way of doing Vomit Orchestra-type material without any expectations, and with a lot of collaborations. No one was originally supposed to know about it, other than close contacts. Those tapes were recorded just for friends when I was starting to record music again, to show them what I was doing. But I made the mistake of talking about it, and then decided that I might as well just show people what was done. It was recorded with all of the same equipment as the Vomit Orchestra material in the exact same way. In fact, the first three tapes were originally called VO. So for all intents and purposes, Nod is Vomit Orchestra – just not in name. All of that material will probably get re-released in public form eventually.
As for Iokanaan, it is sort of similar to the old demos and "The Aura of Saints" EP, I suppose… which themselves are similar to Nod.
What do you think – shall we live long enough to experience the collapse of the rotten system of what is left of Western culture? Or perhaps you're not as pessimistic as one would think?
I think western culture is an ever-evolving thing; it cannot collapse, therefore. The "collapse" itself would just be the new face of western culture! A person's view of a culture's demise is a matter of where their values are placed within that culture. The Third Reich saw western society crumbling in a way that the United States saw it thriving, for instance, at the exact same point in history.
As for pessimism, I would say that I'm an optimist. People around me would completely disagree with me (my wife laughed at me when I asked her if she thought I was optimistic…), but I find that within my extreme negativity, there's a bizarre sort of cynical optimism.
Concerning Vrolok, two of your songs were of particular meaning to me – "Nightfall" and "The Funeral" (Dark Pestilence cover from the "Melancholia" cassette tape). Maybe it's not the best way to ask about such things, but please say a word on how your artistic evolution may develop or regress in the months and years to come.
It's really hard to say. I don't necessarily plan that sort of thing out. The biggest influence in how I approach art is just a curiosity for sounds, for different atmospheres, and how I can put the atmosphere I've created in my head onto tape. I always try and challenge myself with Vomit Orchestra to create new tones, patterns, and evoke different, weirder emotions. Emotions that aren't immediately recognizable, even- things that exist between other emotions, more obscure feelings.
With Vrolok, it was a whole other thing. I'm not sure I have any of that band left in me, as it wasn't very imaginative in that regard. It was purely philosophy-driven, and I no longer have anything I want to say through my music, as I said all I needed to say. I just want to show people emotions and feelings, sounds, realms within themselves they didn't know existed. Anything outside of that is, frankly, very boring to me. Will that change in the future? Possibly, as I can't know for sure. But at least for the time being, this is all that I want to do.
Also, something that I'll acknowledge, as it's been 12 years now- Dark Pestilence was actually a Vomit Orchestra project. I wish I still had that material, but it's been lost.
You said that you're not sure if you still have any of Vrolok left in you, and that made me wonder – do you keep returning to black metal music, even from time to time? Which simply begs the question, what are you listening to these days?
Vrolok is a very specific feeling and "event" for me, and I can't put myself into that authentically these days. I don't know if that will change in the future, but it would certainly be inauthentic of me to pretend that I somehow fit into that context right now. The way I see Vrolok is sort of how I might see an old pair of favorite jeans that don't fit anymore – they are full of holes, they no longer fit, but it's impossible to throw them away. I keep hoping they fit – but with age, it just seems less and less likely. Unless I get AIDS or something.
I still listen to black metal more than any other sort of music. I cannot imagine that ever changing. Just because I cannot see myself fitting into the context of an old band, doesn't mean I don't still worship the sort of music that band played. Other than that, I listen to a very wide variety of things. When it comes to newer/active bands, I've been listening to a lot of Triangle & Rhino, Christmas, and Russian Tsarlag lately. Then of course I worship at the altar of Popol Vuh and pre-80s Tangerine Dream, so those records get spun constantly.
What's the thing with the Vrolok / Relique split cassette tape limited to 23 copies – does this release even exist?
It was actually limited to 46 copies, but yes, it exists. The Vrolok/Relique split was a recording with some of the members of the 2012 Vrolok live band. We had written a couple of new songs to include in the live set, and wanted to put them down for posterity. At the same time, a few other people in our circle of friends (as well as the guys who played rhythm guitar and bass in Vrolok) started a band called Relique, in order to play one show and record one EP. So, we put the two recordings onto a tape, and released them at each band's first live show- 23 copies at the first Vrolok show in New York City (using a white cover), and 23 copies at the first Relique show in Pittsburgh (using a yellow cover). I can't speak for the Relique side, but the Vrolok side will probably never be reissued. It was put out exclusively for people at those two shows.
Some might say your music is still rather minimalistic, but then I'd say your recent LP reveals a Vomit Orchestra more refined than ever – complex and expanded. Have you ever thought about re-recording some of your older songs, apart from what you did with "Dying"? I'd say they could use some additional arrangements and a fresh glance.
Not really. Vomit Orchestra has a sort of constant evolution, but it's not really an evolution where something minimal later takes on a "bigger" approach. It doesn't work like that. A more layered sound is just what the new album, Eptirconvellere, called for. Nothing says that the next album won't be closer to Antecrux, which was far more sparse. Nothing says it won't incorporate a symphony orchestra, either. It's all about being tasteful to the context, and being authentic to whatever inspired the artistic spark to begin with. A lot of songs on Antecrux consisted of one or two guitar tracks with some background sounds created with effects loops- that could not have worked on Eptirconvellere. Just as including drums, more instrumentation, removing the electronic elements, etc would not have worked on Antecrux. Dying was re-recorded because the original song (on the experimental Bridges Burnt EP) was a sonic experiment, to create a melody and sound that I heard in a dream about drowning using backwards guitars and electronics. The re-recording was made because I wanted to see if I could recreate some of that using live instrumentation, and because it fit the theme of the album. It was a rare exception, therefore.
So you do everything music-wise fully analog, not using any of the software which – as I suppose – most of newer electronic music makers exploit? How hard is it to obtain necessary knowledge and skills?
I record some material analog (such as the last bunch of EPs and all of the VO demos), but "Eptirconvellere" was recorded digitally. It was recorded organically, however- meaning that it wasn't altered with effects in post-production, and I didn't use synthesizer software to enhance the recording. There's a time and a place for messing around with electronics (and I have no problem with that in general), but when people start using software to mask the fact that they aren't using real instruments, I have a problem with it. It's cheap, it's effortless, and it's plastic. The same people will bitch about pop music being vapid, which is really ironic. I needed violin on this album, so do you know what I did? I went and found a violin player! I also needed a Hammond organ on a couple of tracks. Did I torrent software? No, I went and bought a fucking Hammond organ, and learned to play it well enough that I could record the parts where it was needed. I also built a synthesizer instead of manipulating samples on a computer. I put in actual effort, as an actual musician should.
By all means, warp sounds, mess with things, make as much noise with a computer as you want, if that's what your intention is (maybe try it without a computer first, though, as all of those things can be done with proper equipment)- but don't program a synth cello and try and get away with saying it's a cellist.
As compared to another 'lone wolf' of the (post) black metal scene, namely Wrest of Leviathan / Lurker of Chalice, you two – at least in my eyes – have grown into the biggest individualities on these outskirts of music and from the other side of the ocean – and that's why any collaboration would be more than great to hear, as well as –I suppose – highly unlikely to come?
Well, I think that would be pretty difficult right out of the gate, because I don't know the guy. We have close mutual friends, but we've never met or spoken. I'm not familiar with Lurker of Chalice, but I like the Leviathan material I have heard. I recorded the intro to the Krieg side of the Krieg/Leviathan split, and that ended up being my favorite release of 2014. The Leviathan track was really good. The thing is, I've heard comparisons of our bands from people for years and years, which I think has kept me from looking closer into his discography. It's sort of a bruised ego coping mechanism. I'm very juvenile in that sense.
"Dying" from "Eptirconvellere" is certailny your most 'noisy' track out there, but 'Hypodermic' walks hand in hand. Noise as a music genre seems very pretentious to me, apart from what people like Kevin Drumm are working on – namely, transcending nearly all musical genre borders. What's your opinion on this 'genre' of (anti)music?
I really don't have much of an opinion, as I don't typically listen to much of that sort of thing. I'm obsessed with sounds, all sounds in fact, but I'm more interested in the sounds I can create using amps and equipment in the spare room in my house than I am in a cassette tape someone else recorded. I find it way more fascinating to see what sort of sounds I can pull from different sources – that's what grabs me. I have tons of unreleased recordings made with my fish tank, effects, the sound of my neighbor shoveling snow, all manipulated with various pieces of hardware to where they are unrecognizable from their original form. Some people wouldn't be interested in doing that, though, and would rather listen to what someone else does. My own noisier EP recordings, for instance – those have an audience, and it's a somewhat different audience from the people who like the full-lengths. I'm very grateful for that. In regards to the "Eptirconvellere" tracks mentioned, I actually don't see "Dying" or "Hypodermic" as noisy, but then I guess that shows my intention versus how it's perceived by others. Always fascinating, isn't it?
But to the question, it seems obvious that anyone can pretty much make "noise recordings" at the most basic level, but then anyone can paint, too, right? Pretentiousness might play a part in some of it, but if it's coming from a genuine place, I don't think it can be called pretentious at all.

One thing that often happens (and this one isn't linguistics-specific) is that you find yourself using the non-technical version of a word more when you're talking about the technical term (or maybe you just notice it more). I'm researching questions, and I catch myself using question all the time: 'the question is how this can be applied to X' and so on.
We linguists have a fun extra game to play, however. We can use the very linguistic things that we are talking about in the language we use to talk about them. Sometimes this happens by accident, similarly to the above example. But sometimes, you see the opportunity to slip one in as a little in-joke for your readers who are paying attention. I read this sentence today:
The idea... is supported by the fact that only in embedded finite clauses is it possible to front an XP.*This is a classic example of its type. It's talking about fronting XPs (moving phrases to the start of the clause) in embedded (subordinate) clauses, and in doing so, does just that itself. that only in embedded finite clauses is an embedded clause - it's the complement of fact (it tells you what the fact is). And within it, we have a fronted phrase, only in embedded clauses - it would normally be at the end:
It is posible to front an XP [only in embedded clauses].Linguist humour. There are whole blog posts to be written about humorous example sentences, comedy names for new generalisations and the like.

Now that the college bowl games are over, you might be ready to think about healthier eating habits. If you want to lose a few pounds or just want to look better and live longer, it is important to start eating right.
If you have the habit of falling off the wagon when it comes to your diet, it is probably because your diet food doesn't taste good. We can remedy that.
Contrary to what some people think, foods that are better for us do not have to be bland. Just because a food is "low cal," low fat" or "low salt" doesn't mean that it must also be "taste free."
I have always thought that moderation is the key to losing weight and keeping it off. Think "smaller portions."
But if this doesn't work for you, add some variety to your "diet" foods. Knowing how to properly season foods can mean the difference between bland "I don't want to eat it" foods and tasty alternatives.
One of my all-time favorite "diet" foods is my Lite and Easy Brunswick Stew, which contains less than 1 gram of fat per serving. It is made with chopped or shredded chicken breasts. The seasoning helps disguise the fact that there is very little fat in this delicious stew.
Just because you are on a diet doesn't mean that you can't have dessert from time to time, especially if it is a low-fat one. The following Banana Split Lite Dessert makes at least 15 servings, and if I counted the fat grams right, it contains less than a gram of fat per serving.
Vanilla pudding mix may be used if you can't find white chocolate pudding mix. There is no fat in the two tablespoons of the chocolate syrup, so go ahead and enjoy a little on top of your dessert.
A good "diet" food is one that you will want to keep on the menu even after the diet is over and your goal has been reached. These two recipes fall into that category.
- 4 cups shredded, cooked chicken breasts
- 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 cup chopped onions
- ¾ cup chopped bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- ⅓ cup vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup water
- ¼ teaspoon turmeric
- ½ tablespoon Tabasco, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 (11 ounce) can shoe peg corn
- 1 tablespoon low fat margarine (optional)
In large soup pot, combine chicken, tomatoes, tomato sauce, onions, bell pepper, parsley, vinegar and sugar. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium. Combine flour, salt and black pepper. Sprinkle this mixture over top of stew. Gradually add water, stirring in the flour mixture. Add remaining ingredients and let simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Makes about 8 servings, with less than 1 gram of fat per serving.
- Reduced fat chocolate wafers or graham crackers
- 2 boxes (about 3 ounces each) fat-free, sugar-free white chocolate (or vanilla) instant pudding mix
- 4 cups skim milk
- 1 (15 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
- 3 ripe bananas, sliced crosswise
- 1 ½ cups sliced fresh strawberries
- 1 (12 ounce) package Cool Whip Free
- Hershey's chocolate syrup, optional
Place wafers in bottom of 9x13-inch dish. Combine pudding mix and skim milk. Mix for about 2 minutes. Add drained pineapple and mix. Spoon over wafers. Top with bananas and strawberries. Spread Cool Whip Free over top of fruit. Just before serving, drizzle a little chocolate syrup over top of each serving.

Save to your scrapbook
Step by Step - Chocolate Pudding with Orange Marmalade Sauce
This will be saved to your scrapbook
You can also add it to one of your existing cookbooks
The rich, sweet flavour of this pudding comes from using demerara sugar and Waitrose Continental Dark Chocolate that has 70 per cent cocoa solids, and instant coffee. The orange sauce is tart and clean tasting, and a good match for the pudding. Serve as an alternative to traditional Christmas pudding or for dessert at a dinner party.
If you do not have individual pudding basins, use large ovenproof ramekins or large muffin tins.
If you are making individual puddings, stand the basins on a baking sheet, to make it easier to get them in and out of the oven, and bake for 25 minutes.
To check whether the egg whites are stiff enough, tip the bowl gently on its side - if the egg whites are the right consistency, they should not move from the base of the bowl.
Use ground hazelnuts instead of ground almonds to give the pudding a stronger, nuttier flavour. You could turn this pudding into a wheat-free chocolate cake. Simply double the quantities of all the pudding ingredients, mix them together and pour into a greased, 20cm round cake tin with a circle of baking parchment on the base. Bake for 45 minutes, until the centre is firm to the touch. When cool, remove from the tin, place on a serving platter and sprinkle with icing sugar. Serve in slices with crème fraîche. This cake will keep for up to 1 week or can be frozen for up to 3 months (do not dust with icing sugar before freezing).
Measuring scales and spoons
1.5-litre pudding basin or 6 x 150ml individual pudding basins
Large heavy-based pan
Electric or hand whisk
Wooden spoon
2 mixing bowls
Metal spoon
Round-edged knife
Zester and juicer for orange
Small pan

Denise dress, Raja jacket and Tandie tank top – Improv'd spring/summer 2011 collection
I am always looking for what I like to call basics with a twist. These are wardrobe classics such as tees, tank tops and blazers that come with some form of cool detailing like chains, exposed zips or drapes – basically anything that transforms it from plain and simple to fashion forward and covetable. In the past I've gone to brands like A.L.C, Helmut Lang and Sharon Wauchob but my latest find is New York based label Improv'd.
I first spotted their distressed leather jackets at Maxfields, my shopping mecca in Los Angeles. At the time the shop assistant didn't have much information on the brand but it reminded me of Rick Owens Lillies with its deconstructed basics and luxe fabrics. On a shopping trip last week, I was thrilled to see it hanging from local racks at Sonjia on Sun Street.
Owner Sonjia Norman also gave me the lo-down on the brand. Launched last year by Sam Ben Avraham (founder of New York boutique Atrium) and ex-Diesel exec Valentino Vettori, the line is all about "couture" basics at a great price point. So expect timeless, minimalist pieces that have an avant garde look whether it's in the distressed fabrics or raw trims.
The spring/summer collection has several cool pieces but standouts include the Tandie, a cowl neck tank with a leather trim along the sleeves and the Denise wraparound dress with contrasting satin panels. Their leather jackets are beautiful but I have my eye on the Raja linen jacket with zip detailing. It will make the perfect cover up for spring.
Prices range from HK$800 to HK$3,000 so get there quick.
Sonjia is at 2 Sun Street, Wanchai, tel: 2529 6223.


text: A little girl and her toy rabbit riff on love in a sort of free-association celebration. Standard stuff—"You can love someone... / and also be angry"—gives way to more esoteric topics—"Usually / every single person / and every single animal has a heart... / except for sponges / who don't have any / and worms / who have five"—all with the same winsome narration. Plecas's wry ink-and-watercolor vignettes are rendered in a controlled palette against a creamy background; speech balloons in red add flair (five separate balloons declare "thump!" next to the worm). It's hard to argue with this one. (Picture book. 3-5)

So a little while ago I found a nifty Java application that will take a set of data points and spend a good long while trying to find the best fitting equation for it. It had a bunch of different equations to choose from, combine, and modify, and tended to do a pretty good job.
At the time it was just a bit of a gimmick to me, but now I've come across something where I could actually use it, but can't find it again. I've probably formatted since I last used it, and while I probably have it sitting on a hard disk somewhere I can't remember what it's called so I can't find it.
Would anyone happen to know what/where it is?
[edit]: I spoke too soon! http://ccsl.mae.cornell.edu/eureqa
Java curve fitting application
For the discussion of math. Duh.

Cycling at the 1980 Summer Games: Previous Summer Games ▪ Next Summer Games
Host City: Moskva, Soviet Union
Venue(s): Olympic Velodrome, Krylatskoye Sports Complex, Moskva
Date Started: July 25, 1980
Date Finished: July 26, 1980
|Soviet Union
|East Germany
By 1980 the best pursuit team in the world was the East German squad. They were World Champions in 1978-79. Their biggest rival was the other German team, the Federal Republic or West Germany, but they were not present in Moskva. After qualifying 1-2, the two best teams were the Soviet Union and East Germany. In the quarters, the Soviets recorded 4:14.64, a world indoor record, to defeat Australia. The final was close, with East Germany staying even with the Soviets for the first half of the race, but after that the Soviets pulled gradually away, especially in the last kilometer, winning by almost four seconds. Despite winning multiple medals at the World Championships, and the world title in 1978-79 and 1981, East Germany would never win this event at the Olympics.

As you know, Jen spearheaded an effort to get DVD players in every room on the UCLA Santa Monica Hospital cancer floor. Many of you gave generously – either with money or by sending players, DVD's, Wii's and games.
I am long overdue to let you know that your generosity went to a great cause.
We collected over 20 DVD players, a couple of Wii's and hundreds of DVD's. When we last checked in with the wonderful nurses of 4SW, they told us that many of the patients are using the DVD's and are grateful for the distraction. They are currently setting up some kind of 'borrower' cabinet so patients can take movies as they please.
And the kindness keeps pouring in as Jen was able to raise another round of money on her most recent commercial film set – which was matched by the company, Biscuit Filmworks – and matched AGAIN by the owner of the company, Noam Murro. Almost $5000 more dollars was raised for UCLA cancer patients. This will go towards more players, Wii's, movies, refrigerators, microwaves and anything else that can make patients and their caregivers more comfortable.
UCLA gave us a little shout-out in their December E-news update. I don't know why Jen is hiding behind me in the picture, she should be front and center. I'm just the one with the bad cells, she's the one with the big heart.

Thanks so much to everybody. The best way to show your support for Jen and I is if my experience motivates you to help others.
|First, I'd like to thank you for your support of UCLA Health System. Our Partners make an immediate impact on our patients and their loved ones, with gifts enhancing Child Life/Child Development Services, Palliative/End-of-Life Support Services, and Social Services, among others.
I would like to share one couple's story of courage, strength, and generosity.
Beep, Beep, Beep – the constant repetition and echoing… Beep, Beep, Beep – sitting, waiting, and hoping for the best. Steve, attached to an I.V. and confined to a bed at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center and Orthopaedic Hospital. Jen, his wife, tries to stay optimistic, cheering Steve on and snapping photos to document the family's journey. Hours and days pass by as they are haunted by the beeping, searching for any way to make the noise go away. A distraction was needed; they found it watching movies and playing games.
They weren't the only ones in the unit, but what were the other patients doing? What if they didn't have a laptop or portable DVD player? Jen was motivated to help those who weren't fortunate enough to have the means for distraction or the comfort of family surrounding them. She felt compelled to take immediate action.
Jen posted on her blog about their experience and asked her generous friends, family, and employers to help other patients escape the beeping.
Through Jen's & Steve's efforts and compassion for others, UCLA Health System's Partnership for Care has provided DVD players, gaming consoles, and an extensive library of movies and games to accommodate 26 patients at Santa Monica-UCLA Medical Center and Orthopaedic Hospital.
Donors like Jen, Steve, Noam at Biscuit Filmworks, and you allow UCLA not only to provide extraordinary healthcare with leading-edge research, but also to bring comfort and hope to patients and their loved ones on the path to healing.
I wish you and yours a safe and happy holiday season!
CEO, UCLA Hospital System
Associate Vice Chancellor

West Palm Beach Seeks Signature Skyline

West Palm Beach, Florida, is entertaining several ideas to embolden its skyline. One proposal suggests a 1,500 foot tower, which would be the tallest in the United States.

"A proposal for one of the most prominent pieces of undeveloped land downtown is a 1,500-foot tower with an observation deck -- unmistakably resembling Seattle's Space Needle -- that would be the second-highest building in the world and the tallest in the United States.
Among towers, the project would be fourth-tallest in the world. It's being proposed by Fort Lauderdale-based High Point Group teamed with architect Rodriguez Design Group."

Beginning a daily practice
By Frank Simons
The Meditation Center presents the Tricycle video retreat series by Brad Warner, Beginning a Daily Practice, Part 1, Thursday, August 14, at 5:30pm at the Center, callejón Blanco 4.
Great meditation teachers say that the most essential part of practice is to do it every single day. Most of us find that to be very difficult. There's no secret: you just have to do it. But with our lives so full of busyness and stress, how can we get motivated to practice? This retreat will teach you how to sit even when you don't want to or feel as if you don't have time to. It's not about finding the magic motivator. It's about developing and sustaining the habit of practice.
Brad Warner is an American Sōtō Zen priest, author, blogger, documentarian and punk rock bass guitarist. He has written Hardcore Zen: Punk Rock, Monster Movies & the Truth About Reality (Wisdom Publications) and more recently, There Is No God and He Is Always With You: A Search for God in Odd Places (New World Publications). Presentations of the center are offered without charge. Donations are gratefully accepted.

Abstract: The fifth full-length launch for the pop artist features guest appearances from Skip Marley, Migos, and Nicki Minaj. This module builds upon the information gained within the Studio Recording module, however the focus right here is on composition and music manufacturing in trendy recording studios. After the 18th century, speculations upon the intrinsic nature of music turned more numerous and profound.
The texts of the songs are highly emotional and deal with a broad vary of themes, from political protest to calls for a loud and full of life dance party; accompaniments are offered by guitars , keyboards, and percussion instruments and are electronically amplified Music educators were attracted by the intrinsic structural values of this music, especially its distinctive rhythmic and modal characteristics, its texts, and the qualitative ranges which may be distinguished.
For expressionists (such because the composers Schoenberg, Ernst Krenek , and René Leibowitz) music carries austere , and typically doctrinaire, ethical imperatives. Max/MSP, Pure Information, Ableton Dwell and SuperCollider are amongst the music software used to explore ideas of synthesis, sampling, and generative composition.
You may be taught how one can interpret and join examples of music ranging from the 12th century to right now. Sound recording was also a major influence on the development of popular music genres, as a result of it enabled recordings of songs and bands to be extensively distributed.
Utilizing a multitrack system, a band and their music producer might overdub many layers of instrument tracks and vocals, creating new sounds that would not be potential in a stay performance. With symphonic tone poems , composers tried to inform tales and evoke pictures or landscapes using instrumental music.

Greenland - a turning point by around 2040.
Berlingske Tidende

Friday 7 January 2011, 03:53
'Even if we turned off all power stations and threw the keys to our car away, we would probably be unable to put a stop to it.
'No matter how much we turn down the CO2-burner, Greenland will still reach a significantturning point by around 2040, writes Berlingske Tidende.
'Subsequently, the melting of the island's enormous quantities of ice will continue and continue and in principle not stop until most of the ice is gone.
"It is a very troubling result, because it shows that the melting can go much stronger than we usually imagine," says one of the article's authors, Jens Hesselberg Christensen,Berlingske Tidende.
'...A total meltdown of the ice cap will have the world's oceans to rise with six to seven meters.
2040. Say no more!

Information in this article may not be canonical to the storyline of the games or any other Sonic continuity.
Shanazar is a location that appears in the Sonic the Comic series published by Fleetway Editions. It is a planet and the main setting for Sonic the Comic #149-165.
Shanazar was originally a planet existing on a sub-molecular level, working on laws based on magic and mysticism, and divided into distinctive Zones similar to Mobius. The central Kingdom of Shanazar and most of the nearby areas was a sort of Arabian Nights-style fantasy world, with fantasy-Arabic architecture, deserts, dress and magics, ruled over by the "extremely pretty" and tyrannical Princess Kupacius.
The planet also possesses Zones based around other fantasy genres, such as a forest populated by medieval-style knights and an area much like Ancient Greece which was once plagued by the powerful Medusa. It also possesses a very technologically advanced Zone that takes place in the brutal Space Races, where racers are blackmailed into acting as champions for their planets in a race on an asteroid belt.
The Planet
The kingdom of Shanazar's security was ensured for centuries by a pact made with the Genies of the nearby Mystic Mountain. Every few years, a number of small children would be sent to the Mystic Mountain to have the spirit of a Genie placed inside their body. This would enable the Genies to leave the Mountain, and for five years the child would be able to summon a Genie (in a more solid form) and command its power in defense of the kingdom. The stress of containing this power would cause the child to die after those five years and the Genie would become a truly free being, and for that time the child would be treated like royalty.
The kingdom of Shanazar saw a technological advancement when Dr. Robotnik, briefly transformed into his original Kintobor form, arrived and began introducing innovations such as redesigning the kingdom's plumbing system.
The Mystic Mountain
Shanazar's practice of using children as hosts for Genies was ended by Sonic the Hedgehog, who took moral offense at the idea of the child dying within five years and destroyed the Mystic Globe which made it possible. It is unknown what happened to the Kingdom of Shanazar without the Genies to defend it.
Union With Mobius
In order to return to Mobius, Robotnik (with help from Grimer and Nack the Weasel) developed a Dimensional Blender device that would enlarge Shanazar until it occupied the same space as Mobius, merging the two planets together; the resulting chaos and destruction would make it easy for Robotnik to take over. The device merged the worlds together but Mobius was left unharmed, with the Zones from Shanazar being added to the planet and accessible via dimensional portals. As a side effect, gateways to alternate dimensions and planet Earth (at any time and any place) were opened. Sonic would spent the next period exploring the New Zones and various times on Earth.

Original Plans
Nigel Kitching revealed on the Sonic the Comic Yahoo group that Shanazar was originally intended to not be a separate planet (or even called Shanazar, that was meant to just be the name of the Kingdom) but Mobius in the ancient past. Sonic would discover this when running into an old-fashioned version of the Drakon Empire, who would invade the planet and be opposed by the ancient Echidnas led by Knuckles (much of this was reused in the comic series' Sonic Adventure adaptation).

Meet Frank Johnson. Frank is the Clinical Dental Technician here at Elmsleigh House Dental in Farnham. Frank is experienced and dedicated to making your new denture look like your natural teeth and fit securely.
Frank has been working with dentures since he qualified as a dental technician in 1986. There is nothing this man doesn't know about how to craft dentures so that their owners can regain confidence in their teeth and their smile. So, if you are looking to get dentures in Farnham, Frank is the man to see.
You can meet Frank and talk about your needs in a free consultation here at Elmsleigh House Dental Clinic. Frank's in-depth experience with dentures will help you pick the right solution for you, taking into account all your needs – health, cosmetic and financial.
At Elmsleigh House Dental Clinic, we offer several different denture options.
Premier dentures – no one will ever know these dentures are not your real teeth. Frank recreates your smile using old photographs, digital imaging and special measurements. Once he has the specifics, he handcrafts your dentures from resin fixed to an injection-moulded denture base. This base is created to simulate your natural jaw movements, and will help you maintain the natural shape of your face. The prices for premier dentures range from £600 to £3,500.
Essential dentures – these dentures come in slightly cheaper, in a price range from £500 to £2,100. The teeth are made of strong plastic affixed to a strong acrylic base, and they last between four and six years (depending on your bite). The teeth themselves are made from three layers of different-coloured resin, so that they recreate the look of natural teeth. These dentures are very resistant to staining and breaking. They make a very good spare set for emergencies, or a temporary denture after oral surgery.
All our dentures in Farnham come as either full or partial dentures, made from either chrome or plastic.
Frank makes sure that they are fitted precisely to your mouth so that when you wear them, you will feel confident when you eat, talk and laugh.
Come and spend 30 minutes with Frank and see how he can help you to have a whole new secure and happy life with dentures in Farnham.
