Senators: Stop $89B in Medicare, Medicaid Improper Payments
The US Senate Budget Committee urged HHS to address nearly $89 billion in improper payments within the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Source: Thinkstock
- The US Senate Budget Committee has penned a letter to HHS Secretary Alex Azar urging the department to address approximately $89 billion in improper payments within Medicare and Medicaid.
The Senators referenced a recent GAO report suggested new auditing processes for CMS that would help to identify inappropriate payments in both Medicare and Medicaid. GAO also suggested the Office of Budget Management should develop a new risk-based methodology to help HHS and other federal agencies better assess the validity of payments.
Medicare and Medicaid improper payments accounted for 63 percent of the US government's entire volume of improper payments.
"We are deeply concerned by the substantial amount of improper payments in these two programs," the Senators said. "Your [Azar's] attention is needed to ensure that taxpayer dollars are adequately safeguarded."
The lawmakers added that HHS has not acted on any program integrity recommendations from Comptroller General Gene Dorado, which Azar and other HHS officials should remedy immediately.
On April 4, 2018, Dorado advised HHS to improve state-federal collaboration on Medicaid audits and increase Medicaid data availability for program oversight. In addition, Dorado suggested that HHS should monitor the Recovery Audit Data Warehouse used by Medicare auditors to ensure payments are properly reviewed.
The Senate Budget Committee believes that HHS needs to address improper payments by using GAO's recommendations, which could help extend the financial solvency of Medicare's Hospital Insurance Trust (HIT). Currently, the HIT is expected to be depleted by the year 2026 as Medicare spending continues to climb year over year.
The group concluded their letter by requesting written responses from Azar about the following action items:
- The status of HHS's actions in relation to GAO recommendations
- Available information about HHS's plans to take corrective action and implement GAO recommendations, along with timelines for completion.
- Explanations from HHS about whether they agree or disagree with GAO's recommendations to address improper payments in Medicare and Medicaid.
HHS has until July 20, 2018 to provide the Senate Budget Committee with responses to the questions. The Senators also asked HHS to provide quarterly progress on recommendations moving forward.

The legends of the motor world!
What do Nikolaus August Otto, Carl Benz, Ferry Porsche, Henry Ford and Enzo Ferrari have in common? They all were visionaries and pioneers. Their passion drove them to the highest achievements. "Motorheads" portrays the legends of automotive history and people who influenced our mobility more recently, such as Sebastian Vettel or Walter Roehrl. It shows fascinating images from the past and current interviews and combines them into gripping documentaries.
In 1879 there was a hard-working apprentice in Detroit who had to cope every day with a tiring walk to work. His name was Henry Ford. When he got his first proper job as an engineer at the Edision Illuminating Company, he started to work mostly at night on his vision of a motor-powered carriage. This resulted in the Quadricycle with two cylinders, 3 hp, 1050 cc, a weight of 240 kg, without brakes and reverse gear, but with a speed of 20 miles. This was the first huge success for Henry Ford and the first vehicle which he was able to sell.
This is only one of the stories. Another story was written by an Italian, who in the middle of the 40-ies had specialised in the production of tractors: Ferrucio Lamborghini. Lamborghini was a sly man und is regarded as one of the most important Italian entrepreneurs of the 20th century. He loved fast cars und owned himself a Ferrari and a Maserati. But none of these could really please him. He tried to discuss certain improvements with Enzo Ferrari but failed and so Ferruccio Lamborghini finally decided to build his own sports car. In a region that was already called "Terra di Motori", in which the factories of Ferrari, Maserati and Ducati could already be found, he started his Automobili Ferrucio Lamborghini S.p.A.
Apart from pioneers, visionaries, engineers there are also those who know how to use these technological developments to achieve records and gain championship titles. For example Walter Roehrl. He is a legend of the rally sport. He is two times FIA World Champion and he also won the European Championship once. He claims that for him fame was never a motivation for becoming a driver. He never wanted to drive in front of an audience. He wanted to test his limits all by himself. That was the reason why he became a rally driver, says Roehrl, "During the night and on icy roads, in a rally the better driver wins, even if he is in the worse car. With my four wins of the Monte Carlo rally in four different cars I wanted to show that the driver makes all the difference", says Roehrl in an interview with Motorvision. "Motorheads" – impressive personalities of the automotive world.

Is Netflix about to set forth on a cancellation binge?
A week after it axed "The Get Down," its expensive single-season music drama, Netflix, the online streaming service, announced Thursday that it was canceling its sci-fi drama "Sense8" after two seasons.
By Netflix standards, this is a moment.
The company has been notoriously reluctant to cancel any of its original series. When the expensive but poorly reviewed "Marco Polo" got clipped in December, it qualified as a surprise to the TV industry. Netflix, to the frustration of many in Hollywood, does not release viewership figures, so it is difficult to tell what works and what doesn't. Netflix has poured billions of dollars into original TV shows, and it has only canceled a small fraction of them.
But the company's chief executive, Reed Hastings, recently suggested this was something they might be prone to do.
"I'm always pushing the content team, We have to take more risk, you have to try more crazy things, because we should have a higher cancel rate overall," he said Wednesday in an interview with CNBC. "Because then, what you get is you get some winners that are just unbelievable winners — like, '13 Reasons Why' over the last three months has been a big hit for us."

Over few years there has been news of mass layoffs in the Indian IT sector, well to this the Industry body Nasscom recently ended all speculations and fears by claiming that the industry continues to be a "net hirer" with over 1.5 lakh people being employed on net basis every year. It also stated that the reports of mass layoffs were wrong; it said workforce shift, linked to performance appraisal processes, is a regular feature every year.
"Skilling and workforce realignment are essential to remain competitive in international markets. It needs to be appreciated that such workforce realignment is a normal part of the internal process of companies based on their own operational imperatives," Nasscom said in a statement.
Well, it is been marked out that no major changes have been reported or observed this year.
"Such reports are incorrect. In fact the industry continues to be a net hirer with over 1.5 lakh people being employed on a net basis each year, though the focus is shifting from scale to skill," it said.
Over the last few weeks, the reports of layoffs across the sector was widely spread making headlines. IT majors like Wipro, Infosys, Cognizant, and more recently, Tech Mahindra have begin annual performance reviews, the procedure that also weeds out bottom performers or non performers. According to this, estimation suggests that over the next few weeks thousands of employees in the sector could be shown the door.
The progress comes at a time when Indian IT firms are facing challenges in the business environment and stricter work permit command in countries like the US, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. While the companies have named these layoffs as part of normal business decisions, many consider these are aimed more towards scheming costs.

The national leadership of All Nigeria Ethnic Nationalities Youth Organisation (ANENYO), yesterday, stated that it would interface with governors of the South-East zone to forestall break down of law and order during the September 14 sit-at-home order declared by the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The group further advocated an exercise devoid of violence and action capable of leading to loss of lives and property within the region, insisting that IPOB must change its strategy and ensure people's lives are not lost in their struggle for self determination.
In a statement issued in Abakaliki, the Deputy National Chairman, All Nigeria Ethnic Nationalities Youth Organisation, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, sued for peace as IPOB marks anniversary of the invasion of Nnamdi Kanu's home in Abia State.
The statement read in part: "Ethnic Nationalities Youth Organisation will interface with South-East Governors on the need to save Igbo land from any act that will bring down law and order in face of IPOB/MASSOB struggle for self determination and Biafra agitation. It's necessary that such meeting will bring back the stakeholders in Biafra agitation to ensure peace in the quest for self determination.
"In spite of the fact that any group is entitled to self determination and freedom to observe any day as a means of expressing their anger or protest over perceived injustice and seek better ways to ensure redress through legal and constitutional channels, Ethnic Nationalities Youth Organisation calls for a peaceful means of doing same and avoid actions capable of breaking down law and order.

Listen to this article
Hewlett-Packard's chairman and general counsel have agreed to testify on Capitol Hill about their roles in a boardroom spying scandal that has sparked a crisis at the top of the world's second-biggest computer group.
Patricia Dunn, chairman, and Ann Baskins, general counsel, will appear before the House Committee on Energy and Commerce on September 28 and are expected to testify, according to a committee spokesperson. Larry Sonsini, a veteran Silicon Valley lawyer and HP's outside counsel, has also agreed to testify.
Lawmakers on the committee are expected to vote on Wednesday on a measure that would give committee chairman Joe Barton and John Dingell, the highest ranking Democrat on the committee, the power to fast-track subpoenas for information from HP.
A committee aide said the vote would give congressional investigators greater flexibility in eliciting information from the company if HP moved to hold back documents or if executives changed their minds about testifying over the weekend. Without the measure, Mr Barton and Mr Dingell would have to hold a vote of the whole committee before issuing a subpoena. So far, the company and executives have voluntarily submitted information, including thousands of pages of documents.
Ronald DeLia, a private investigator who has been tied to the case, is also expected to appear before the committee with Ms Dunn and Ms Baskins but "may" invoke his fifth amendment right and refuse to testify, a committee spokesperson said.
The committee widened its investigation into the scandal on Tuesday by calling on two more witnesses to testify: Anthony Gentilucci, HP's head of global security, and Joe Depante, who owns a private investigation firm that worked on the internal HP investigation.
HP admitted earlier this month that investigators hired by its board had posed as board members, journalists and employees in order to get hold of personal telephone records that could point to the source of a boardroom leak.
News that HP's investigators used false pretences to obtain the records, a practice known as "pretexting," has sparked criminal investigations by the California attorney general and the FBI in addition to US lawmakers.
The controversy last week claimed the job of Ms Dunn, who announced she would step down as HP chairman in January in an effort to defuse the crisis. Mark Hurd, chief executive, will assume the role of chairman, while Ms Dunn will remain as a director.
HP admitted at the weekend that its spies had inappropriately obtained telephone records of Michael Moeller, a press spokesman, in addition to those of board members and journalists.

Hi, my name is Stuart and welcome to Football Fan Shirts. Here you will be able to look at some classic football shirts from through the years.
My biggest passion in life, like most people, is football. Ever since I can remember I have loved it, from playing football to watching it.
My father was a big football fan and he wanted to make sure I was as well. From an early age he would take me to watch my local team and I absolutely loved it, from the atmosphere to the half time pies, nothing could beat it. Oh and it made things 10 times better if my team won…what a day out !
I wanted nothing more than to be a professional footballer when I grew up so I started playing for some boys clubs and also my school team. I would say I was above average, I was quick and had a great left foot.
I never made it at professional level but I did still play for some local teams. As the years went on the older I was becoming, the more injuries I would pick up. I felt it was time to hang up my boots.
Like most football fans, wearing your team's football shirt on match day is like a religious act. It has to be done! It symbolizes your love for your team and shows how much support the team has.
Our main goal here at Football Fan Shirts is to make you feel like a true supporter of your club. And nothing says true supporter quite like your team's shirt.
Now, this doesn't have to be the latest shirt to date, no. This could be your favorite shirt, the one you loved the most, the one that reminds you of good times, being at the games and witnessing something amazing!
So, what are you waiting for?! They are waiting for you !
If you ever need a hand or have any questions, feel free to leave them below and I will be more than happy to help you out.
All the best,

Less cooling energy during summer
Heat can enter the living space without hinderance. The temperature inside the room is unpleasantly high.
The air circulation between outdoor blinds/Venetian blinds and windows largely eliminates heat transfer via convection.
Less heating energy during winter
In cold temperatures windows and glass facades function like a thermal bridge: The warm air escapes and it becomes unpleasantly chilly in the living area.
When the outdoor blinds/Venetian blinds are closed, an air cushion is created in front of the glass which prevents circulation of air. As a result the warm air stays inside the living area and keeps the cold air outside.
Types Available
- Alloy blades
- Variety of connection details
- Serge Ferrari membranes / fabrics
- Opatex membranes / fabrics

A new "soft" laser therapy is to be used nationwide to help prevent patients undergoing treatment for neck and head cancer from suffering severe side effects.
The low-level laser therapy (LLLT), or photomedicine, will help prevent patients suffering from soreness in the mouth and throat, dry mouth and swallowing problems.
More than 90% of the 4,000 people a year in England and Wales who receive chemoradiotherapy for head and neck cancer experience side effects which can lead to hospital admissions and, in some cases, interrupt the course of radiotherapy.
The new treatment, developed by the NHS foundation trusts of University Hospital Southampton and Newcastle Upon Tyne Hospitals, is being trialled nationwide as part of a £1.2 million study funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR).
One of the main complications of current treatments is oral mucositis (OM), which affects taste and speech. It causes excessive secretions of saliva, which result in nausea, vomiting and weight loss. Currently, patients are treated with a combination of painkillers and anti-sickness drugs and many require frequent hospital appointments to control their symptoms. Some also need nutritional support through nasal or stomach feeding tubes.
LLLT is a drug-free treatment that stimulates damaged cells using a low energy laser beam to reduce pain and inflammation. It's more commonly used to treat musculoskeletal problems such as tendon, bone and nerve damage.
Consultant clinical oncologist at Southampton General Hospital Dr Shanmugasundaram Ramkumar said the LLLT would improve quality of life for patients.
"If shown to be effective in this large multi-centre study, it could radically change the management of this group of patients in the UK and worldwide," he said.

Wow, blogging fail for me this spring. In addition to it being effing cold and miserable out well into April, other projects and preoccupations kind of took over. Highlights in this post, to be followed by a few picture posts.
* One lesson learned: the seeds really do need to be somewhere that jumps to my attention in my daily routine, because after a promising start in the downstairs storage closet with a timer on the lights, I forgot all about them and they dried out and died. ARGH.
* Plant sale was glorious as ever. Mostly bought irises, since looking at pictures of the yellow one in the front bed all winter convinced me that I need many more of them. Also picked up some stinking hellebores - they don't really stink, god knows why they called them that - since I have been eyeing their lovely foliage for ever; some white-flowering opuntias; and a dwarf korean fir. Got my mother-in-law a moon frost hemlock and now I want one too. Am getting to be a real sucker for dwarf evergreens.
* Insect plagues seem somewhat reduced from last year - there's the silver lining for a chilly spring, I guess. Knock on wood, anyway. Roses may have been badly compromised, though; fucking sawflies, or whatever the hell those things were that I found on EVERY SINGLE BUD in the front yard.
* Apparent casualties of the winter, bizarrely enough: kerria, backyard euonymus, and artemisia powis castle. My Monet weigela is also looking pretty straggly.
* Not just one but TWO flower stalks on the go on every eremurus except the really big one. OH HELL YEAH. I was afraid they were in some sort of snit over the soil conditions, but I guess they just needed a couple of seasons to get established.
* Didn't plant any new tulips last fall, but as it turned out they almost all came back anyway. Must get some of the interesting-shaped ones my mother-in-law has, too; was not too fussed about them based on the picture, but seeing them in person has convinced me.

Despite of the losses of Freeman, Wilder, Benjamin and Shaw, the 2014 FSU offense still returns plenty of firepower led by Jameis Winston, Rashad Green, Nick O'Leary and Karlos Williams.
How will the offensive philosophy differ from 2013? What will be similar? What personnel packages should we expect to see this season?
In this week's Haters vs. Homers segment, we debate the what the loss of Timmy Jernigan means to the defensive line.

HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR PORTRAITS AND HEAD SHOTS in PHOENIX, AZ
Yesterday, my friend Chip Thor and I drove out to Seven Springs. Seven Springs is north of Cave Creek, AZ along a pretty windy road. It is absolutely gorgeous out there this time of year.
We started out at the Cave Creek Coffee Company around 4pm; grabbed a coffee and hit the road. We came to a sudden stop when we saw this creek running across the road. I jumped out of the truck and started snapping some shots.
We headed up the road out of the valley and back up towards the plateau to walk out towards some cliffs. Along the way, we snapped a few shots of some familiar items often found in the Arizona desert.
Chip and I had a great time for a few hours out to Seven Springs and back. Along with discussions about photography, we had great conversation about God, friends, relationships, food, coffee, hunting and the desert. In that few hours, we forged the beginnings of lifelong relationship.
So cool! Rob and I had a date at Seven Springs when we first started dating. It was such a surprise to find this place in the middle of the desert. Beautiful shots. 🙂

I just happens to be the room that no one will really go in. It is my basement storage and I started there because it was quite a disaster as you can see from this before picture.
Yes I know it looks really bad. I just got to the point where I would just throw things in there and just shut the door and try not to think about it. It didn't work though, it haunted me. So, that's where we started.
Natalie drove down to my house and we worked 7 pm to midnight shaping this space up. Before she came I was assigned to buy storage bins.
Natalie's tips to picking out good storage bins:1: Don't buy the clear kind. Although they are nice to see into your bin they tend to be flimsier and crack and break easier.
2: Buy bins with lids that click and are sturdy so that they can be stacked on. Test out the lid by putting some weight on it and make sure it can handle it.
3: Buy more bins than you think you need because you will always use them in the future. You will want at least 4-6 empty bins when you are done for future use.
4: To pick out the right size make sure you leave growing room in your bins because you will most likely add to your storage than subtract from it. So don't buy the perfect size bin that fits your things perfectly but full. You want to be able to add to it.
5: Buy the same color and size ( some exceptions on size) so that things can look neat and tidy.
I decided to head to Walmart to hopefully find nice bins at a nice price and I did luckily since I needed a lot of bins. I got 16 eighteen gallon bins for $4.97 each and 2 thirty gallon bins for $12.97 each. My color options were red or grey so I went with the happy red.
I was also assigned to get labels in size 2x4.
Here are the after pictures:
Amazing right?
I used the 2 thirty gallon bins for Christmas decorations which includes all my lights and everything plus extra space of course. Then the Christmas tree is hidden behind the shorter bins which also makes them flush with the longer bins which makes things look neat and tidy (I'm learning so much).
Natalie's tips for stacking your storage bins:
1: Furthest holiday away goes on the bottom of the stack and then rotate them up.
2: Make sure to put the bins you will get into the most towards the top. For example I have a party box which includes my paper plates, cups and napkins as well as birthday supplies (need to get my array of streamers still). I will get into that a lot. I will also access my summer supplies a lot and my handbags and diaper bags a lot so those are all at the top. Old memories are way on the bottom.
3: Anything really heavy on the bottom obviously so the bins won't easily fall over.
This is the small closet which Natalie organized for me.
I can say I have food storage because I have canned tomatoes and grape juice.
Since there was so much free space I moved my craft bins to the basement.
This will really free up some much needed space upstairs.
(I won't show you the inside of my craft drawers since they are not tidy.)
And here are my labels printed in my favorite font.
I wanted to put a pretty border on it because I new Natalie would be really proud if I did but I couldn't figure it out. I will have to work on it.
Natalie's recommendation is to tape the labels on rather than use the sticky part.
Apparently they really stick and do not come off tidily enough.
Neat and tidy is the goal and you must even plan for future tidiness!
Thank you, thank you Nat for helping me! And if I forgot anything about your tips please leave a comment to help future organizers.

Beautiful photos. That apple dumpling looks yummy!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks Debi... So glad to chat with you.. smile .. xoDelete
Thank you for taking us with you Faye, I am stunned that you have your very own brook, how lovely! I think I need your apple dumpling recipe, it looks delicious (and the sauce recipe too of course) :) You know, I've just had my 33rd birthday, and bought myself a new bible :) What a blessed life you and your husband have together, I pray that Ben and I have as many years to enjoy this life together. You are a great encouragement to us ladies you know Faye xxxReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you dear girl.. The apple dumpling was just a recipe out of my head, Carly.. Made a pastry and took out the apple core.. Mixed up a bit of sugar, cinnamon and raisins and poured into the hole.. Baked at 425 degrees F. for 15 minutes and lowered the heat to 350 degrees F. for about 20 minutes or until tender.. Now, the recipe for the sauce was one that I made last Christmas and stored in a mason jar in the fridge and it is still good.. Delicious, actually.. But.. I will have to look for it as I forget where I put it.. It is from Quebec and called sucre de creme or some such thing.. grin..Delete
I will email or post the link as soon as I find it.. xo
What a wonderful day thanks for taking us with you ! Lovely photos . The land there looks similar to here in Ontario ! Apple dumplings look so YUMMY ! Have a wonderful day !ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Elaine.. Yes, Ontario and New Brunswick are almost the same... A bit of different vegetation perhaps and your southern part is warmer...Delete
Come on down sometime.. smile... xo
What a beautiful ride through the country side. Loved it.ReplyDelete
I just talked with my sister yesterday and saw her photos of her road trip with a few of her girl friends. They were in your literal neck of the woods. I could tell by her photos - some of the bay and different buildings and of course she mentioned your town...and surrounding area. ;)
I wish I could've had her find your shop. I didn't know where she was going, for sure...or I would have her "look you up" for me.
Love that apple dumpling. And, thank you for the beet salad recipe.Replies
Oh, I wish I could have met her Bevy... Was she actually in St. Martins and did she spend the night there? Just curios...Delete
God bless my friend..
You are blessed indeed! What a beautiful spot to enjoy when you want to. (you can't beat the back roads of Kings County!) The apple dumpling looks yummy! Have a wonderfully blessed Thanksgiving! Hugs. PamReplyDeleteReplies
Ha Ha, Pam.. It is good old Albert County not Kings.. smile.. It is a back road, though.Delete
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, too my friend..

P.S. I COULDN'T FIND THE WIND MILLS. LOL!Replies
One of these days we will have to go there, Char.. you guys would be bored stiff though, I think..Delete
Thanks for your sweet comment..
Love ya, too..
Oh, the windmills are there but I couldn't see them either.. grin..
How fun to go to the old farm with you today. Apple dumpling, I need to find that recipe, my hubby would like it too.ReplyDelete
God is so good, I am so grateful for His love and for delivering me from an abusive marriage so many years ago. He gave me a kind and loving husband several years later. Thank you, Jesus. I know not everyone believes in divorce, but in situations where a man is unfaithful and cruelly abusive, I think it's okay in God's eyes. And that was the only hope for me and my kids. Don't know why I said that, but yes, God is GOOD!!!
Love and hugs, CindyReplies
Hi Cindy...Delete
I agree that sometimes God answers prayers in different ways.. But I am thankful that with Terry and I it was not the same situation.. We were two kids away from God and Satan stepped in and tried to make toast of us.. We were rescued though just in time.. I will always be thankful....
So happy for you though that God has provided you with a wonderful husband...
God bless you my sister..
What a nice place to have a retreat. Our food always looks so good! Wish I had one of those apple dumplings now! Blessings from Wisconsin.ReplyDeleteReplies

Dear Mrs Henry,ReplyDelete
Thank you for being a blessing to my wife and daughters
they love your blog posts and the many inspirational
things that it covers.
I am commenting this evening as this post as well spoke to me.
Please know that I am a life that
Jesus changed from ashes to beauty in spite of my self
praise his name forever John 14:6 Jesus said to him I
am the way the truth and the life no one comes to the
Father except through me.
Thank you for the visit to the
old farm house it was very enjoyable. Maybe my family and
myself could visit in person sometime.
Please remember as christians
that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us.
PhilippianS 4:13
Blessings to you & your husband Terry~
Hello Mr. Mayo..Delete
Thank you so much for your wonderful comment.. A life that Jesus changed.. That sentence brought tears to my eyes as I relish the truth of those words..Where would we be without Jesus?
I would love to have your lovely family come for a visit. They in turn bless my life and I am so glad we have met across the miles..
Yes, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us..
I would love to hear you preach the Word someday, too..
God bless you for taking the time to encourage...
Blessings to you and your dear family also..
Thanks for the tour! aw, the old house stuff...I remember the one house we had that had a pastry board that came out of the cupboard and there were bins (drawers) that had flour in one and sugar in the other....um, that was an old house when I was real young and it was an older house then there was the one my parents had built and it took 7 weeks to build. Nice. it was a breezy day in Oregon and I managed to get a headache and am sure it was from stuff in the air....allergies. Some smoke in the air from fires east of us! Sigh! But leaves are falling and it's getting cooler. Rain, maybe next week!ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Becky.. Do you know that there are two bins below the pull out pastry board but I do not keep the flour and sugar there as we do not live there.. Hope you are feeling better...Delete
A beautiful post today,and a lovely farm...is this your main home? Then you have also have a cottage by the sea...so lovely a thought :) Blessings dear friendReplyDelete
I would have loved to spend the day with you at your beautiful old farm Faye. Those apple dumplings look so yummy! I'm so enjoying the time I spend every day with my precious little granddaughter. She's such a sweet blessing from God!ReplyDelete

Brass, enamels. 39.1 mm tall x 26.5 mm wide; the screw post
measures approx. 3.7 mm thick. This is an early version of
one of the awards of the WW2 Railway Proficiency Series
(1943-57). Unlike the later issues, this badge features a
pronounced 3-d relief to the oval center medallion.
In excellent condition. The enamel is essentially perfect
everywhere and retains beautiful luster. There are a couple
of contact marks and internal imperfections on the banner
resulting in tiny dark spots, but these are almost
unnoticeable to the naked eye. There are no chips, flakes or
significant scratches. Raised details of the artwork are
perfect and crisp. The original silver and gilt finishes are
nearly pristine on both the obverse and reverse. The screw
post is full length, over 12 mm. Includes original, pre-1946
screw plate marked "NKPS Sh.M. Z" (Narkomat of Railroad
Transportation, Mechanical Stamping Factory"). An extremely
attractive piece, a real standout among the badges of this
series that usually display at least some degree of damage.
Rebuilding the railroad track and rolling stock destroyed by
the Luftwaffe or blown up by retreating German ground troops
was of paramount importance to the Soviet war effort.
Railway workers routinely labored round the clock, in
miserable weather and under constant bombardment, to
complete the task. Even in the initial period of the
Patriotic War, the uncanny speed of the repairs often
frustrated all German efforts to disrupt Soviet
transportation system.

There are some nailarts which we have seen in different variations over a period of time. But they don't loose their sheen or charm because they are classics. One of such is todays nail art. I know we may have seen many manis on similar lines but each one still makes us swoon. The Love Letter Nails with classic roses.
I wanted soft colors and warm feeling for my love letter nails. So I went in with one of favourite pastel base, Essie Blossom Dandy. Its a lovely soft light mint blue colored creme polish. It is an extremly pleasant and happy color.
I stamped the letters using MDU Caramel instead of black because I was looking for soft transition of colors rathet than bold contrasts.For quite some time I browsed stamping sets after sets looking for cute small flowers which I could turn to decals . But after wasting time in the futile search, I realised I can draw decent flowers quite effortlesly. And may be more real looking than decals.
So I dumped the stamping decal idea and made freehand flowers with acrylic paints. I used Bornpretty Store stamping plate like usual. You can them here & here and get 10% off with code HQBQ10

After calculating the numbers on 2012 free agent expenditures for teams in the Atlantic, Central and Southeast, we're moving over to the Western Conference. Using Hoops Rumors' Free Agent Tracker, our look at summer spending out West starts in the Northwest Division, where a pair of rivals spent a chunk of July battling over restricted free agent Nicolas Batum, who ultimately landed the largest contract in the division.
Once again, these figures only take into account free agent signings, so salary absorbed in trades or money used to sign draft picks isn't included in this list. Additionally, not all of this salary is necessarily guaranteed, which we'll try to note as we go along. Here are this summer's Northwest Division free agent costs, sorted by player salary:
Denver Nuggets: $63.875MM (JaVale McGee, Andre Miller, Anthony Randolph)
Miller's three-year, $14.625MM deal is only guaranteed for $12MM, so the Nuggets' overall bill may not ultimately be quite so high, but this is still a good chunk of money spent by an over-the-cap team that's not in a top market. Between their trades of Nene and Arron Afflalo though, the Nuggets have exhibited an ability to shed long-term contracts not long after they're signed, without taking long-term salary back in return. It's unlikely that happens with McGee's four-year, $44MM deal, but you never know.
Portland Trail Blazers: $54.572MM (Nicolas Batum, J.J. Hickson, Jared Jeffries, Ronnie Price)
After missing out on restricted free agent Roy Hibbert, the Blazers settled for bringing back their own RFA, Batum, at a cost of $45MM over four years. The team could end up only paying about $6.3MM for their other three signings — Hickson will receive $4MM, Price receives a minimum salary, to which the Blazers will contribute $854,389, and only Jeffries' first-year salary of $1,475,106 is guaranteed.
Minnesota Timberwolves: $45.666MM (Andrei Kirilenko, Brandon Roy, Alexey Shved, Greg Stiemsma)
After weeks of cap maneuvering and a failed offer sheet for Batum, the Timberwolves signed Kirilenko to a two-year contract worth $20MM, a deal that looked a lot worse before the Olympics than it does now. Still, of the four players Minnesota signed this summer, only one (Stiemsma) played in the NBA this season, making the club's offseason approach one of the more high-risk, high-reward strategies in the league.
Utah Jazz: $8.000MM (Jeremy Evans, Randy Foye)
It was a modest summer on the free agent market for the Jazz, whose only outside signing so far is Foye, for $2.5MM of the team's mid-level. But Utah made up for its restraint in free agency by taking on plenty of salary via trades, acquiring Mo Williams (one year, $8.5MM) and Marvin Williams (two years, $15.79MM).
Oklahoma City Thunder: $7.598MM (Daniel Orton, Hasheem Thabeet, Hollis Thompson)
While other Western Conference rivals like the Lakers practically overhauled their entire rosters, the Thunder have had a remarkably quiet summer, and will rely on their young core to continue to improve. Oklahoma City's 2012 free agent bill figures to amount to significantly less than the $7.598MM listed above — of the three multiyear contracts they've inked, only Thabeet's is fully guaranteed for 2012/13.

A short novel about depression and mental illness, this book is well written and wonderfully descriptive but not very uplifting. Two English families are on holiday in a French villa when a booking mix up results in a young unstable girl turning up on their doorstep. They invite her to stay and this triggers the unravelling of relationships within and between the families. I did enjoy this but it is dark and quite unsettling.

Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel
Yes this is a sequel to Wolf Hall. It continues where that left off, seamlessly.
There is one difference. Many critics of Wolf Hall commented that they could not always follow who was speaking - 'who is "he"?' was the universal cry. Hilary Mantell has, wonderfully sarcastically, taken this 100% on board. Now every pronoun is followed by the relevant characters name: "He, Thomas Cromwell..." etcetera. You can almost hear the footnote - "in your face, you ignorant ****s, I trust this is now clear enough for you".
Apart from that amusing aside please reference my Wolf Hall review.
As I shut the book, I realise - Good God she's only on wife number 2.

Philida by Andre Brink
A book about slavery in the wine regions of South Africa just before emancipation. The novel is narrated by Philida, a slave who has a relationship with her owner, and this makes it a very immediate read. Philida is a very well developed character and it is easy to engage with her, which makes this book very readable. The language is simple but very well crafted and enjoyable to read. The plot does move quite slowly in parts but it is still an engrossing story. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it, but it is not a light read.

The Garden of Evening Mists by Tan Twan Eng
This novel is set in Malaysia post World War II. A Japanese gardener settles in the Malaysian hills alongside an Englishman's tea estate to work on a formal Japanese garden. Yun Ling, a young Chinese woman, comes to visit the estate and becomes engrossed in the process of Japanese gardening whilst struggling with memories of her violent World War II experiences. A very deep, complex novel which is not an easy read but is definitely rewarding. The plot is quite slow so this is not a gripping page turner, but the language is evocative and it is worth persevering.

Skios by Michael Frayn
An easy to read, engaging and at times thought provoking novel about identity. The plot follows two strangers on a plane to a Greek island who, through a series of coincidences and assumptions, unknowingly switch places. It is a fun, if a little unlikely story, which contains (if you want it to and if you look for it) a serious message about personality and self. The characters are easy to relate to and very likeable which adds to the light-hearted charm of this book. Another great holiday read that you could read deeper into if you felt like it.
Whilst I am surprised this made it into the Booker long list, I very much enjoyed this book which is well written without being pompous and pitches the moral analysis just right.

The Yips by Nicola Barker
A long and bizarre novel. The writing is very good and the plot is fairly engrossing but the character development is minimal and the dialogue staggeringly unrealistic. How many teenagers who fail their A levels and find themselves working in a hotel bar pepper their banter with words like "suppurating"?
In my opinion, the lack of connection with the characters made this book a lot less engaging than it would otherwise have been. The best novels are those that read like a conversation bringing a story to life and this novel was much too flat, almost essay like, to achieve that. Instead, although it is easy to appreciate the language and even the unusual plot, there is something so one dimensional about this book that I frequently found myself subconciously drifting off into shopping lists and must-not-forget-to-dos. A shame because there is a lot of quality writing here, but the dialogue lets it down.

The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson
I really enjoyed this book which is about a man who feels stifled by his nursing home and so goes on an adventure on his 100th birthday. It is fun, well written and with some brilliantly eccentric characters. It is not a realistic novel so don't try to pick holes in the plot or over analyse it - it's just a very good, light-hearted story which would be a perfect summer read.

Applications of HTS: Where do we stand and where can we go?
Over the last decades, superconductivity played a key role in expanding the frontiers of human knowledge. High field superconducting magnets have been the enabling technology for modern magnetic medical imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, particle colliders and fusion reactors. To further expand our understanding of the world, these devices call for ever-increasing magnetic fields and thus the technological significance of high temperature superconductors (HTS), whose upper critical fields reach into tens or even hundreds of tesla, appears clear. However, since the discovery of HTS scientists had to face many challenges to develop these materials in a useful conductor form, and yet only three – Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8-x, Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10-x and REBa2Cu3O7-x (RE = rare earth) – are available commercially. In this talk, I will address the current state and prospects of the HTS-based technology. The aim is to highlight how the development and property evolution in HTS conductors and the progresses in practical applications are going hand in hand with the quest for a deeper material understanding.

There are several options when it comes to mounting a defense against Georgia criminal charges. One involves several ways of framing the intentions of the defendant. Ignorance of the law, also referred to as a mistake of law, almost always fails, but other defenses are possible under the mens rea doctrine. These arguments may involve the defendant's lack of intention or "guilty mind".
In the case of carelessness, a defendant may argue that the negligence was not malicious and does not qualify for criminal penalties. In one example, a homeowner leaves yard tools on the sidewalk. A passerby or neighbor is then injured after tripping over them. This could result in civil liability in a subsequent personal injury lawsuit but no criminal charges.
A mistake in fact can be a viable defense against a felony or misdemeanor charge. Defendants can argue that they did not know their behavior was illegal. For instance, sale of a illegal drug that the defendant thinks is a perfectly legal substance could be presented by a criminal defense attorney as a mistake in fact. There are other crimes for which no "guilty mind" is necessary to obtain a conviction, however. One example is statutory rape. It does not matter that the defendant believed that the minor was over the age of 18, even if the minor made false representations.
There could be significant and harsh penalties if a person is convicted of a crime. Accordingly, those who are facing charges may find it advisable to obtain the assistance of an experienced criminal defense attorney in attempting to combat them.

How many competitions do you enter? - 4 years ago
Hello everyone I have been a very inactive member of this site for a number of years but after reading of many wins and friends wins on my facebook page I though I would give it another go. As I wasn't feeling very well last weekend I stayed home and must have entered around 1000 on line comps. Surely the law of averages says I must win something? I was wondering how many competitions pby debboo - General Competition Chat

I've taken pictures at this wall before, and I didn't even notice until I was uploading these pictures. They painted it! And I'm not really a fan of the new color.. I loved the natural bricks! Here is what it looked like before.
Yay! Half of the week is already over.. I'm excited for Thanksgiving next week!

"Every time I lose a dog, I lose a piece of my heart as well. That vacuum can only be filled by a new canine companion." – Anonymous
Want to adopt a Lab? Here's what you need to know.
Please read the following information before contacting us for our Adoption Questionnaire.
Labrador Retrievers and Lab mixes:
• Are intelligent, loving, devoted, energetic, powerful, and chewers
• Can be protective, possessive, bossy, territorial, noisy, and did we mention chewers?
• Bred to have strong retrieving instincts and usually have strong prey drive
• Shed all year long, and will shed twice as heavily in the spring and fall
• Need ongoing socialization, structure, leadership, exercise, training and affection
• Need to be made a part of the family, and are not good as outside-only dogs
• Need a purpose in life, or will find their own amusements by barking, chewing, digging and escaping
Adoption Policies
Our Philosophy is that our dogs are our clients and we do what is in the dog's best interests. We match the dog to a suitable home where the dog will be happy and fulfilled, and the dog must approve of the match as well. Not everyone is the right match for every dog. We do what is in the dog's best interests. Because of this we don't adopt dogs over the internet, as gifts, or sight unseen. In Addition, since most of our dogs are strays and we don't know their background you MUST have a safe escape-proof fenced yard for our dog, we won't adopt without one. Invisible and electronic fences will not work for us either. Community or public yards are not acceptable as a substitute for a fenced yard.
Adoption Fees
Our adoption fees are $450 for Puppies (2-6 months), $400 for Adult Dogs, $150 for Senior Dogs (9 years and older) and Special Needs Dogs who have ongoing health issues that require treatment, and $200 for senior bonded pairs.
All of our dogs are spayed/neutered (per California State Law), vaccinated, heartworm and fecal tested, and microchipped. We also provide a several month supply of heartworm preventative at the time of adoption. The adoption fees don't quite cover these costs depending on the dog. Puppies (2-6 months) are slightly different due to their age and needs.
The average cost of caring for our dogs, including shelter fees, spaying/neutering, veterinary care, transportation, boarding and feeding, exceeds $400 per dog. We appreciate any additional contribution you may be able to make to help us save more dogs!
Home Visit
We visit the adopter's home (we bring the dog they are interested in adopting) in order to meet all members of the household and all other pets at that time, and make sure the environment will work for our dog. The home must be safe and suitable for our dog, and that means we won't adopt to a home with out-of-control children or out-of-control resident dogs. With the rising costs of fuel and other expenses we are having to limit the distance we travel for our adoptions. We typically will not travel more than 1.5 hours outside of the Sacramento/Lincoln area and we may add an additional amount (most likely $50.00) onto the adoption fee on behalf of the rescue, depending on where you are located.
Outside Dogs
We NEVER place our dogs in outside only homes. Most of our dogs come out of shelters and into our homes where they live in the house with us. Once they get a taste of inside family life, love, and attention they don't want to go back to living outside (even if that was where they originally lived in their previous homes). We believe that dogs are happier living and sleeping inside with their family pack, which has been borne out from many years of bringing dogs into rescue.
Adoption Requirements
Our Adoption Agreement & Contract is a legal document, therefore we will only adopt to adults, and all the adults in the household must agree to adopting the dog. The home must be safe and secure, and allowed to have a Labrador Retriever or Lab mix, and be within the allowable number of dogs. We require landlord consent for renters. The entire household must be a good match for the dog. Our apologies but we cannot adopt young active dogs to folks in apartments or condos, plus there is no backyard for the dog to call their own.
Please see the "Our Labs" page for our dog rating levels and adoptable dogs.
We have special requirements and an additional questionnaire for puppies, please be sure you contact us so we can send you our list of requirements and puppy questionnaire (only if we have puppies available on our web site) that way you can make sure you meet them before continuing any further. Since we see so many dogs that have come out of an unsuitable environment, we want to make sure our puppies have the very best start in life. That means we won't adopt a puppy to an Outside Only home or where the puppy will be alone the majority of the time, as we don't feel that's an optimum environment to raise a happy and well-socialized dog. Since puppies are rare for us we don't keep track of folks names, chances you will have better luck finding a puppy somewhere else if we don't have any available on our web site.
Adoption Restrictions
If there is a long vacation or major life change imminent don't adopt a dog. Those events are extremely stressful and it wouldn't be fair to expect a new dog to adjust well to them. We hope adopters think about the hourly, daily, life long commitment they are making by adopting a dog. If you aren't up to it don't do it because it's not fair to the dog. EVERYDAY we get calls and emails from folks (who never ever intended) begging us to take their beloved pet and re-home them because of a decision they made without thinking short or long term.
We Reserve the Right to refuse to adopt to anyone who we feel isn't a good match to our dog, in particular or in general, as not every household is suitable for a rescued Labrador Retrieve or Lab mix. We will not adopt to anyone who is hostile, belligerent, deceitful or disrespectful to our volunteers, our dogs, our organization, or otherwise refuses to follow our policies or accept our guidelines.
Please contact us via e-mail at email@example.com to request our Adoption Questionnaire (plus puppy requirements and puppy questionnaire only if you are inquiring about a puppy on our web site). Our questionnaire will help us match your needs with the dogs in our rescue. Please email the completed questionnaire back to us. We won't adopt to you without it. Once we receive questionnaires where adopters state their interest in a specific dog (and there may be multiple families interested in the same dog) we contact the interested adopters and try see if they may be the best fit for our dog. After we find a potential adopter that might fit our dog we arrange a meeting (typically at the adopters home) and if all goes well and everyone feels this is the right fit we do the adoption paperwork at that time and the dog stays with his/her adopter. If adopters submit their questionnaires with no specific dog listed then its up to the potential adopters contact us when they see a dog on the web site they are interested in.
We thank you for your interest in adopting one of our Labs!

Opposition of Boats means Opposition of Independence: Dolon
Krishak League's central vice-president Arifur Rahman Dolon has said that those who opposing boat symbol are against of our country's independence. He even said that those who are working against the boat symbol are not just dissenting the founder of our country Bangabandhu and his beloved daughter our Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, they are opposing this country's independence.
Dolon said all these on Thursday evening at the election meeting organized by freedom fighters command of Gopalpur Union in Alfadanga.
This meeting was held at the Gopalpur Market. Chairman Candidate for the boat symbol in this Union is Enamul Hassan.
Arifur Rahman Dolon further said that, If someone truly supports Awami League then He or She has to give support to Sheikh Hasina's Decision. Dolon added that, Boat is the symbol of our liberation war. The symbol of development. The sign of Progress. That's why all the freedom fighters needs to get united to work for the Boat symbol.
The Chairman of Kanchan Munshi Foundation mentioned that conspiracy is happening to defeat the boat symbol. Some misguided people are working to defeat the boat symbol. If the boat symbol gets defeated then it would be quite impossible to develop this area in future. To continue this development trend the boat symbol must needs to win again.
The party must not be used for individual interests. Arifur Rahman Dolon also said that those who are doing this don't want Bangladesh Awami League's good.
Chaired by Gopalpur Union's freedom fighter commander Md. Moyazzem Hossain the individuals who gave their speeches in that programme are Alfadanga Upazila Awami League's President S M Akram Hossain, Upazila freedom fighter commander Siddiqur Rahman, freedom fighter commander Hafiz Uddin, Gopalpur Union's Awami League President Moniruzzaman Iku and few others. The program was performed by Gopalpur Union's Awami League General Secretary Shahidul Islam Mintu.

Saginaw, MI Thursday March 18, 2010.
It's official as my ride arrives at 3:30am for our 5:30am flight. Sailing season 2010 has begun. By 9:30am we will be driving away from Tampa International Airport on our way to St. Petersburg Yacht Club(SPYC) for the Lightning Class' last leg of the Southern Circuit, the Winter Championship in St. Pete. Our departure is during one of the mildest March's in MI in past years going into Florida(FL) which is experiencing one of its coldest winters recently, be not afraid I grumble to JB(remember I don't function before 6:30 or coffee).
I will not offer up a history of this illustrious event or the great history of the Lightning Class itself, but direct you to its website (www.lightningclass.org). 70+ years of great sailing and many more to go. I will also not try to describe sailboat racing and its nuances, I will just try to help you relive my experience for a fleeting moment. See, it all goes back for me to 1991, a college graduate buying his first boat, transaction taking place in a dark seedy parking lot (ok it was the Saginaw Club so not so seedy but it was dark, I was there for a wedding) with visions of sugar plums…wait a minute…visions of screaming reaches and silver adorning the mantel.
Back to today. My Lightning is named Scars & Scrapes which in its self could be the subject for a blog. this is my 4th in a historic(remember this is whose blog?) lineage of Scars & Scrapes. Her hull number is 14937 and she is by far the prettiest girl at the dance if you know what I mean. This is the only of the 4 I have had built just for me, to my specs with what I wanted and where. You see, I had dreams…dreams of wins, big and lots of them, but also to go to the Southern Circuit, a three venue mid winter event few other organizations can even get close to in fun, great racing and history, the year…1999. Needless to say Scars & Scrapes has been to the circuit before, the big dance if you want to compare it to the NCAA final four. This would be her second trip, alas(fun word try to use it in a sentence today, damn near a pirate word so it is fitting) as with the first trip I would not be sailing her.
Many things screw up perfectly good plans or dreams. Time, money, women, commitments, responsibilities, jobs, family, friends(anyone notice how I snuck women in there?…just checking if you were paying attention, I guess you could insert men) to name a few. I never made it to the circuit with my beloved boat.
However(insert dramatic trumpet music) I did, finally make it to the dance. I get by with a little help from my friend(s). A very generous offer from a great friend in need and I found myself on that 5:30am flight off to St. Pete to sail with him and the gang against Scars but that was ok because this Lightning Class is friendly, really its about family.
Tampa International, 9:37am as Herve Vilchez used to say we were "deplaning". I reached into my back pack and threw on my flippy floppies(so we could ride dolphins and …). Sunny and….what the…its cold. It's ok, we made our way to the SPYC to set up boats. Hard to explain but we actually put one boat on top of the other kind of like boat spooning and pulled them down with one truck, ok? We arrived to find out the Obi Wan and the Actor had the boats set, sweet. Willy was under the weather. No sailing today, gnarly conditions, we chose to soak in the sun, behind the barn out of the wind and tweak the boats.
An uneventful night found us raring to go Friday morning, the first day of racing in St. Pete. We went out in a dying NW wind. We were able to complete one race and then bobbed around as the wind tried to switch and fill and finally racing was called, 8 hours on the water, the boys were ready for some cocktails. We found them. Tired from a long day we chilled and watched MSU Spartans win a game in the NCAA tourney, yeah like old guys.
Saturday we arose to the predicted no wind. The hope was for the sea breeze to fill in the afternoon. We had the morning to explore the excellent downtown St. Pete area complete with the cool market in the streets. We cast off at 1:30 pm and were able to get 2 races in before dinner where it was told to me we were drinking rum, oh goody. Some tired, that's why we were staggering, boys made it to bed to wake up to…
Carnage, is how i would describe sunday. Man it was cold and blowing to beat the band. We were on the water at 8:30 to try to squeeze more races in ahead of the front that was coming across the Gulf. Before the first sequence we saw a boat flipped and when it came up it was missing its mast. We did get one race in, a screamer, lots of wind, lots of wave(ebb was flowing against the wind) and lots of flipped boats with swimmers in the water. We made it through with some sort of conservatism and had a great finish to round-up a great time.
As we hit the dock to hoist, it started to rain. Come to St. Pete someone told me, it will be warm and sunny,*##@%*!! (you can figure that out if you try a little, starts with B and ends with tards). We are soaked from the waves and now getting drenched by the rain, great. The not so glamorous side of Sailboat racing is the set up and the take down. Our beers are getting water in them and our clothes are soaked. Still our heroes(I like to think and with the welcome I got when I got home I defy you to prove other wise) manage to get boats stacked and packed and on the road home by 3:00pm, nice.
We leave FL in the rain, 70 degrees, tired, full of great memories. Satisfied to a degree in our performance talking about whats next and where and next March. 20 hours later and 27 degrees later we are home.
We met great people, Jan Davis, finally(check out the website) and saw old friends like Karen, Skip, David, Greg, Jeff, and Geo and met new friends like Aroldo(wearing my team MEX hat with pride), Monica and so many others and watching with awe as teams comprised of family took honors like the Ruhlman's, Fishers, Mac Donalds and Davis'. Great Stuff.
Now I lay me down to sleep, with sailboats dancing in my head, dreams of Kitten and Sydney and I sailing Scars & Scrapes…..

Last Updated on Friday, 18 January 2013 12:36
All music were composed, performed, recorded, mixed and mastered by Landru at Atavachron Studios, Barcelona, during 2012.
Landru is Patxi Hernández, one of driving forces behind Altera Orbe label, and "Fimbria" is his second solo ambient installment, released during September 2012. "Fimbria" comes as CDr edition packaged in elegant digipak.
"Corrosion" unfolds the album and dives straightly into shadowy cavernous realms. Eerie, but richly organic-flavored ambience is melted with diverse distinguishing industrial and cybernetic fragments, some of them more harmonious while some others more discordant, with 12 minutes the longest composition on "Fimbria". "Substantia Nigra" keeps its synergetic path melting darkly spiraling pads, sparse future-tech elements with the sounds of flowing water. "Echoes" remain in subterranean domains, but comprise a quite hymnic drone. "The Passage", as its title suggests, is a shorter transitional number, where frightening zones are merged with otherworldly voice-like sounds and swirling effects, quite unique piece. "Cosmic Strings" bridge deep drones with various sharp dissonances and low primal rumbles.
Again remaining rather sparse and weird, but strongly effective. "Miñaco" attracts with its semi-rhythmed cyberscape, sculpted with razor sharp whip sound effects and distant rumbles and winds. It gets closer to cybernetic-flavored first album "Neurotransmitters". And this future-tech sound can be explored also through "Amalgam", a composition of hazed, but vibrant technoscape crossed with cyber noises. However, "Katabatic Wind" quickly soars to wondrous primordial worlds with graciously floating and pleasantly soothing dreamscapes. A truly immersing composition, which grows on me with every repeated listen.
The title composition "Fimbria" unfolds with the interplay of denser, high-tech soundscapes and water sound effects, but later cascades into hypnotically coiling and mid-paced, pulsing grooves. Electrifying cyber-tech escapade!!! "The Last Quelonid" integrates again various future-tech effects, rumbles and relaxing nature sounds, surrounded by immense sacral washes with ethereal choir-like essence. "Melted Stone" opens with deeply absorbing atmozones enriched sparkling noises, but the journey is soon stolen by spiraling, crystalline electro pulses, which transform this composition into steadily living and breathing trajectory, masterfully backed by mesmerizingly flowing water soundscapes. Absolutely brilliant finale!!!
"Fimbria" is another freshly vital, adventurously sculpted and richly distinctive work by this potential Spaniard, who is not afraid of searching his own pathway. And by the time I am completing these lines, a brand new album "Scotoma" has been released on Altera Orbe, so I really look forward to more exciting endeavors from Landru!!!
Richard Gürtler (Jan 20, 2013, Bratislava, Slovakia)
Fimbria is the latest exploration of Landru into ambient realms, a step forward into complex textures and vibrating grooves from a very personal perspective.
Fimbria is the latest exploration of Landru into ambient realms, a step forward into complex textures and vibrating grooves from a very personal perspective.Now available in limited CDR edition, FLAC lossless format and MP3 at 256kbps format.
La Création du Monde is the title of the last recording by dark-ambient artist Vauxia Errante, a long form track full of delicated details and intrincated textures conforming a mesmerizing exploration of sonic realms. This is the 3th volume in the Woomh EP series by Altera Orbe artists.
All music composed, performed, recorded and mixed by Vauxia Errante in 2012 and mastered by Ran Kirlian at The Blue_Room in 2013.
