Anna hooks up Ken McHugh of Autamata...
It's a commonly held and totally understandable misconception that Mayo is actually a continuation of the Burren in disguise. Musically, that's pretty close to the truth. Although deceptively flush with talent - a few varieties of teenage cover bands, acoustic guitar-touting pub singers, and a proliferation of trad musicians - the output of the musical wasteland that is Mayo to the wider world is shamefully small.
From this bleak background emerges Ken McHugh, who is not only a prolific songwriter, but producer, studio owner, label owner, multi-instrumentalist, general studio expert and the central figure of Dublin-based Autamata. Autamata's latest album, Short Stories, has been slowly gaining recognition for being a work of delicate electronic originality, taking the listener on a journey of musical discovery. Trad, albums, Jellyman, electronica, the future, Ken McHugh has a lot to say...
Coming out of a ridiculously musical background, Ken has been working both the foreground and the background of the Irish music scene. Like so many people, he got into playing traditional music from an early age, and was no stranger to playing live. By the time he reached his teens, he and his sisters had made their debut TV performance on RT's Screen Test, and were regularly booked out to play at various special occasions. So how did those traditional beginnings develop into the technical prowess we see today?
"When I was in secondary school, I got into rock and started playing the electric guitar. I'd play with my friends? I got a dance machine and I'd spend hours sitting in my room coming up with songs and ideas." True, the influence of teenage rock is still strongly felt in his newer music, though incredibly subtle. Ken's writing has obviously matured along a different path than most teenage rockers. "I wrote a few dance songs at first, you know, the basic beats, but then I realised hey, this is kinda boring, so I branched out? I realised then that that was what I wanted to do."
Area 51
Ken's own studio, Area 51, is becoming the choice of Irish acts like the Corrs, Mundy and so many others, while he himself has produced albums of such renown as David Kitt's The Big Romance and is just finishing work on Roesy's latest. His label, Left Hand, has featured Cathy Davey, who also appeared on My Sanctuary. "It's all one to me. I don't really see myself as being any one thing above the other. My role is promoting music and Irish music in particular."
"There's great variety in what I do: one week I could be producing a hip-hop record, the next remixing a dance song, then working on a new guitarist's album. It's what keeps me going. Every penny we make gets put back into the studio. You learn from the industry, so that's how I'm learning where I can go with Autamata."
My Sanctuary
Three years after its initial release, Autamata's first offering My Sanctuary, is looking at being re-released to the public ear again, due to its slow but steady increase in popularity and demand. But whence was Autamata born, and how did it get to here? Where does Ken McHugh end and Autamata begin?
"I was always writing music. I wrote two albums just as Ken McHugh before My Sanctuary was even an idea. I sent them around to mates to get their opinions on the songs. I worked on a lot of film music as well, for example a Colin McPherson film called Saltwater, and a French film that unfortunately fell through. Autamata began as just me, then I began working with Sarah Verdon and (former CLUAS writer) Carol Keogh?they would come in and write songs over the instrumental tracks I was writing. We've had a fair bit of success over the last few years; the music seems to be getting more popular years after it came out first."
No doubt the increase in popularity of both Autamata and My Sanctuary is due at least in part to having tracks featured in Tara Road, Woody Allen's Match Point and a new deal for Mitsubishi ads in the US.
"That was great. I mean you write this music, and people associate a mood or feeling to it. The music I write is very cinematic anyway." You need only listen to My Sanctuary once to hear what he means: it's an intricate work of expansive yet tightly constructed soundscapes. "It was great exposure, especially as we're not the kind of band to play the "toilet tour" of the UK! But we do play live a bit: we get a live band together. There was Oxygen last year and we're set to travel to New York and Eastern Europe for more gigs."
Short Stories
"We've become more song-based since My Sanctuary. That album was really half and half: instrumental and songs. Short Stories has more songs."
The progression from My Sanctuary to Short Stories was not only a growth, but almost a period of increasing concentration. The former is airier and sounds much more like a complete work in its own right than the latter. The addictive Jellyman may still prove to be the song most remembered from the album, but then is almost the only song to stand on its own in the context of the album. However, Short Stories has been accused by critics as being too disparate a collection of songs to really engage with. Has becoming more song-based effected its appeal, either positively or negatively?
"It depends on the stage you're at yourself really," Ken readily admits. "I'd sit for hours just making sounds. My Sanctuary and working with the girls influenced my writing. I wrote about 30 songs without instruments before we put Short Stories together. I didn't constrict Autamata to working within the frame of a vocal line or a certain structure. I wasn't used to leaving space for a lead instrument in the music I wrote before. So Sarah and Carol would come in and write songs over the instrumental tracks I'd written. We sent copies of the songs around to our mates to pick the best ones to go on an album, and then I had to sit down and listen to see how to make them fit together. It is fragmented; but it's a journey, you know."
"The response to it has been excellent, and from completely mixed groups of people. I'm at the tail-end of my generation. I remember when you were either a rocker or a raver, but society has opened up since then. People like the idea, of a new sound, not like what's gone before. The album is completely mixed, but a lot of care went into fitting it together."
Pushing boundaries
In an increasingly technological world, the importance of computers and technology is paramount in music production, a fact which Ken, both as musician and producer is aware of. Yet one can't help but notice the steady encroachment of electronica into the niche we've reserved for "rock": think no further than The Flaming Lips, to a certain extent Linkin Park, and most especially the progression of Radiohead from OK Computer and the Bends to Kid A and Hail to the Thief. Electronica is no longer just the province of the DJ Shadows of the world, but is being used to create a whole new realm of new and almost indefinable styles. The contempt once felt for computer-generated music as "artificial" is as valid as deeming the electric guitar "artificial."
Autamata manage, especially in tracks such as Crazy, to produce everything we look for in rock through electronic means. Can electronic media be seen as a viable path for the development of "rock"?
"Yeah. It helps people push boundaries, you know? I just got back from London, and nearly every band over had those rock haircuts and spiky guitars. They're like cover bands, working their own versions of what people have played before from a blueprint. That's why bands like Radiohead are still as popular now with Hail to the Thief as their earlier stuff. People love a fresh sound." Ken is always enthusiastic, and dedicated to the idea of producing music that sounds new and different. He cites the Beach Boys and Bjork as influences, which goes far to explain a lot of what we can hear in Autamata.
"Electronic instruments are tools. My Sanctuary in particular was heavily programmed, but then I played bits of guitar and bass over it. For Short Stories, we got [Halite drummer] Graham [Hopkins] to put some live beats in. That's why I wanted to start my own label, Left Hand: so I could make my music the way I wanted it to be. Some labels and producers will try to tie you down and put you in a box? This way I wouldn't have to make any compromises."
Surely though, having your music pre-programmed on a computer removes a large element of what we treasure in rock and similar: improvisation, 6 minute long guitar solos?? Do electronic instruments leave scope for improvisation, or is improvisation just not as important a feature of this type of music?
"Well, that depends on you. It can restrict you or it can work. I often use some different miking techniques when recording to make things sound more interesting. And we've used real-life beats: we raided the kitchen and recorded Graham hitting the table with knives. We work with whatever is there.
"As I said it depends on you. It's not just hitting a few buttons. In particular, when you're producing an album, you have to think about how you can mix and match up to the artist you're working with."
Sometimes after two such different but equally explorative albums, it's hard to know where to go. How is the future looking for Autamata? "Good." A lukewarm statement maybe from anyone else, but so coming so clearing and self-assuredly it leaves no space for doubt that the future could be anything else.
"It's slow, but I'm happy with what we're doing. We're getting around the world. The albums seem to get bigger over time, which is why we might be looking at a re-release for My Sanctuary. The whole industry is like a big machine, and you learn from it as you go along. I can see myself still making music when I'm 90.
"When we get back from the US and Eastern Europe in January, I'll be going straight back to writing, but for the moment, Liberty Bell is up on iTunes and Napster, and things are looking good for it." To be honest that depends on what circle you move in. Liberty Bell was perhaps not the wisest choice of single release, and the response to it has been mixed. Being overplayed on the radio is certainly not helping the situation. Still despite this, Autamata's reputation is ever-increasing and deservedly so.
Anna Murray
Antoinette Curtin talks to Autamata fulcrum Ken McHugh about the early days with Jivin' Ivan, setting out on his own, the idea of gig as spectacle and playing the the Temple Bar Music Centre on November 4th...
A cursory glance at contemporary band culture reveals something of an over-abundance of retrophilia. And as much as I love them, as much as I find myself seduced by their long-locked glamour, listening to such music can at times feel suspiciously akin to a guilty pleasure.
A guitar teacher once told me that most new music is not new at all, merely more hip-ly packaged, and present evidence, whether it is gleaned from the indebted brilliance of The Killers and The Libertines, or from the novelty naffness of the Scissors Sisters, undoubtedly bears this out.
From such a scene Autamata clearly stands apart. It may seem absurd to even measure them against such a yardstick - they are patently not a 'guitar band' - and yet this acknowledgement helps define what Autamata may in fact be. To begin with, the moniker refers primarily to Ken McHugh, the founder and creative fulcrum of the project, and a man whose childhood was enviably steeped in music.
"The local national school used to have a class where everyone had to learn an instrument. My family in particular fell really heavily into it, so from an early age we started getting on stage. Then it just built up over the years until every break, Halloween, Christmas, we'd be booked out to play. It was great! I didn't start playing guitar until I was about fourteen. I had this teacher called Jivin' Ivan - he was a one man band guy. Ivan introduced me to the blues and all this guitar music. It was only then when I came to Dublin that I really discovered a lot of different types of music."
That move not only exposed Ken to more disparate musical forms, but saw his enrolment in a sound engineering course which lead to the conception of Autamata: "I did a year of electronic engineering at Kevin St, but I just wasn't into it, so I did a sound engineering course. From there it kind of took off. I was always writing music, but I wasn't going 'I want to release all these albums.' I suppose sound engineering was a way of learning the trade of how to make records."
Following the course Ken worked in studios in a variety of production roles, and there is a sense that as well as providing a day job this period served as an apprenticeship where he could continue to develop his creative impulses. "I worked with loads of different people helping them make records. Then I got a bit tired of producing for other people, and I said 'Right, let's just focus some time and not work with anyone else for a while', although I still had to, just to make a few quid."
This meant working hard. "In the evenings I was working on my own stuff. So that's kind of how Autamata started. It was always there, but it came to a point where I finished off ten tracks and what I used to do was press up about a hundred copies and give them out to my friends. With this one everyone was going, 'You have to do something with it' so I decided why not. That was two years ago now."
During this interval Autamata metamorphosed into a fully functioning live and recording outfit. Despite an initial lack of concern for the performance dimension, Ken now sees it as central to the development of Autamata.
"When I finished the album first I hadn't even planned to play it live. I never wrote it that way. But a few months after it came out people started saying they wanted to hear it live. So I thought I could do it two ways. I could either go with laptops - which is just boring - or I could do it right. So I set up a five-piece band around it and we re-worked a lot of the songs and then decided to bring in visuals. We did our first gig a year and a half ago. I've only done six or seven since, but we'll be touring a lot more than that in the future. I've just been taking baby steps with the live thing. It's really come on though. It's really starting to work now."
This visual element is vital to Autamata now, as will be clear when they take to the stage of the Temple Bar Music Centre on November 4th. "We've a company set up now as Autamata Visuals. The whole future goes very much hand in hand with that. With every new track that I'm writing I'll sit down with a couple of good friends of mine, Blackburst, and chat with them about how we want to visually interpret the track."
This idea of gig as spectacle also represents a 'value for money' facet Ken is keen to imbue their ventures with. Both ideals are evident in plans currently being devised for the springtime release of follow-up album, Short Stories.
"There's a whole album ready to go. I could literally release it in the morning, but I've decided not to. There are twenty songs already and most of them are more or less finished, so I've decided to move to the country for a while after the gigs [Galway, Roisin Dubh, November 6th; Cork, Cyprus Avenue, November 13th] and I'm going to write another twenty tracks and pick the best ten. It's a bit of a tall order, but I'm trying to write an album that's all killer, no filler, without sounding cheesy."
Far from being a cliché, such aspirations are refreshing when compared to the somewhat shoddy attitude many acts betray towards an album as an entity. Even relatively admirable new releases, such as the latest Libertines offering, are flawed by their sporadic intensity; the worth of the whole is devalued by patches of forgettable flimsiness.
Ken appears to have found a method of reconciling his desire to produce an album of intrinsic, solid consistency, and the need to provide value for the fan, by the use of a multi-format release for Short Stories.
"I plan to have ten tracks on a normal CD, but there will be a version that includes an extra DVD. You put on the DVD and the ten tracks have the audio visuals, but also a list of another ten tracks you can listen to in your own time. When you present an album you can only ask a listener to sit down for a certain length of time. And everyone's complaining about the price of CDs and they're right. If you give more to people they will easily pay the extra fiver."
Such pragmatic generosity is already in evidence on autamatamusic.com where an abundance of material is on offer, without cost, and is epitomised in the free, internet only release of 'Out of Time' on November 4th. The graphic element of Autamata's material is not confined to supplementary trappings, but is embodied at the core of the tracks themselves. A soundtrack quality is one feature Autamata listeners have readily responded to, and is perhaps linked to the fact that the album began life as an instrumental endeavour.
As a result the music of My Sanctuary speaks for itself, and often, it speaks loudest. It's an album that revels in its wilful resistance to categorisation, a conscious decision on behalf of Ken.
"I was quite conscious that it was eclectic and I wanted it to be that way. A lot of artists bring out albums and they have to sound one way and then they can't change or move away from that sound. So I thought, let's bring out the album this way so then I can do anything I want as the audience is aware it will be eclectic."
Not only is the album diverse, it is elegant in its magpie tendencies. Songs such as Jive County, Fragments, Jellyman, Out of This, and Postscript all offer distinctly different pleasures, while achieving a similar standard of quality. Like a prism, the album turns, revealing disparate depths. 'Out of This' is one highpoint among many.
"In the new mix I've brought in real drums and violins and it is specifically a radio mix. I did it in a way to give the song a chance. I just thought there's a beautiful song there so let's change the production a bit because the song was written around the production at the time."
Whatever the reasons, it works, and the November 4th edition may be quite unlike anything you have heard before, the new simplicity lending it a greater resonance than most singles can hope to aspire to. But all that's just words. Go to the website and listen to the song for yourself; it is its own most eloquent spokesperson.

"Autamata For The People"
Producer and film-scorer Ken McHugh unveils his debut album
Tales From Inside A Bubble was to be the original title of Autamata's debut album My Sanctuary. "I wanted to convey the fact that I wasn't writing music for a scene, or music to be put in any one category," says Dubliner Ken McHugh of his first solo project. "Eventually I felt that My Sanctuary conveyed the same message in fewer words."
The message is an interesting and unusual one. In a musical climate where recapitulation is often favoured over originality, Autamata's album is astonishingly eclectic. In the broadest sense it is an electronic record, but one listen to the five tracks from the Amnesiac-influenced opener 'Fragments' to the orchestral sweep of 'Little Green Men', is enough to give any pigeonholer a sleepless night.
"I was definitely conscious of the fact that it has lots of different styles," concedes McHugh. "I love the freedom of being able to write whatever I want, but sometimes I have to control myself. It didn't take long to record [the album], but in the mixing stage it took a while to get the whole thing to flow. From the outset I wanted My Sanctuary to be a varied collection so that in future people are aware of what I can do. So there is some method to the madness."
Naturally, it takes technical expertise as well as creative nous for such a multidisciplinary project to succeed. This McHugh has in spades; over the many years of what he calls his 'apprenticeship' in music, he has honed his skills as a producer and film-scorer, working with Creative Control, The Plague Monkeys, Naimee Coleman and David Kitt.
My Sanctuary benefits greatly from the excellent vocal talents of Carol Keogh and Cathy Davey, Autamata's two chief collaborators. McHugh met both musicians through his production work, and feels that "they 're quite simply two of the best singers in the country." Remarkably, every track on the album was written as an instrumental, even those which Keogh and Davey have made their own with distinctive vocal performances.
An affable pragmatist, McHugh is aware that the public will need plenty of time to digest a musical meal as complex as My Sanctuary. He has delayed the release of a single until January next year, and, his next task is to get a live act together. "It's always a challenge to make a good live show out of electronically-originated music," he says. "But I really think we can do it." He has already enlisted a drummer, and will start gigging as soon as a full band has been formed.
Outside of Autamata, McHugh continues his 'behind-the-scenes' work, having recently worked on the soundtrack to Conor McPherson's new film The Actors, which stars Michael Caine and Dylan Moran. He is also in negotiations with The Beta Band about producing their next album.

Austin Daze - December 16 2008
Ireland's Autamata is sometimes electronica, sometimes rock, sometimes acoustic, and always worth checking out. Fortunately you'll have a chance to when they come back for SXSW.
AUSTIN DAZE: How did you get started in music?
KEN MCHUGH: I was born into a musical family. I started playing traditional Irish music with 4 of my sisters around the west of Ireland from a very early age.
I then sold my soul to the devil and started playing rock music.
Later I learned how to work a studio and this introduced me to electronic and abstract sounds. I now combine all these things into the Autamata sound.
AD: You wear several hats: Composer, musician, and producer. Do they require different personalities? Which is the most challenging? Which is the easiest?
KM: I guess so. I don't really think about it too much. I just like making music, sometimes my own as Autamata and sometimes for other people. I just like the whole process of making records. Playing live is the most exciting though as I normally rock it out a lot more and jump around "and stuff". Making a happy album from scratch locked away in a house in the wilds of Ireland during a bleak winter is probably the most challenging.
AD: Did you have a back up plan or alternative to the "When I grow up" question?
KH: It weird I just knew I was going to be doing this. Maybe I'm just lucky, but I do believe you make your own luck in life.
AD: Tell me about the Autamata sound.
KH: Myself just using various instruments at my studio writing instrumental tracks first made the last three albums. For some of these I write lyrics myself and sing and otherwise I get Carol Keogh or Cathy Davey to come hang out and they write the lyrics and sing. So there are some songs and some instrumentals. I don't get too caught up in what box Autamata is in and just let each track build naturally into whatever it wants to be. I get some mates in then to replace certain parts on instruments I cant play very well and I mix the tracks.
AD: Tell me about the "revolving door" band. How does it work? What's it like to team up with different musicians? Is this by choice or circumstance?
KH: Well it all just started with me giving albums I made around to friends and then they started to convince me to release them. I put the first album out and it was well received so people started to ask me to play it live. I then got some of my mates together and we set up an Autamata live band to tour the albums.
I really like the current live band though and reckon I will keep this crew together now for a while. There was no plan really. It has all just grown naturally.
AD: I read about your success with advertising and Hollywood. Were you afraid of that at all? Does it mean anything as a musician to go that route? Is there a fear of losing authenticity?
KH: Well I run my own label and publishing company. It's a little cottage industry. So if someone rings me up offering me some money to use my tunes in a film or an advert that I am not morally against I say yes. I take it as a compliment that people want to use my music to soundtrack their visuals. It enables me to tour and make more albums. Some bands are against this but they are usually on major record companies and have kind of sold themselves to big corporations anyway.
It gets my music to a wider audience without having some An n' R guy telling me what socks I should be wearing.
AD: How does the music culture differ in Ireland and the UK in comparison to here?
KH: It pretty similar. There is pop, there is indie and then there is shit!
UK is very haircut driven at the moment. It seems to matter more about what shoes you are wearing than the music with most bands just completely ripping off older bands. Ireland has a really big independent scene where a lot of artists just set up their own labels and release their own albums. The scene is seriously fresh at the moment. After being in Austin though I have to agree that it is the "music capital of the world." You don't have bands playing as much in restaurants and Whole Foods stores in Ireland. We don't have many original Hip hop/RNB acts though.
AD: How was your response been in the states?
KH: Our first gig at the ACL festival was amazing. People seemed to really like our set. Lots of love! We rock it out a lot more live which surprises a lot of people.
We would like to come back lots more and play around the states.
AD: America is…
KH: Hot, friendly, big on breakfast, confident.
AD: Ireland is…
KH: Cold, not as friendly as we think, big on drinking, greener, more clannish and a little easier going.
AD: Tell me about your musical influences.
KH: The Beach boys, Bork, Massive attack, Daft Punk, The Cure, The future sound of London, My bloody Valentine, Kate Bush.
AD: The world seems to be coming to an end these days. Are you creatively affected by that? Is there a sense of responsibility to provide relief; a voice; anything?
KH: Well there is a song we wrote for our first album called "out of this" that is a good soundtrack to the times we are living in and giving hope. It's up on our myspace page www.myspace.com/autamata.
Otherwise I am writing an album under a different name "spectator" at the moment. It's all instrumental and a lot darker than most of the autamata stuff so I guess the world-ending syndrome is affecting me a little.
AD: Have you ever experienced a time of "no inspiration"?
KH: Yes. When this happens I just work on other people's records, make s a video or just do a lot of cooking. If all this fails I just go to the pub.
AD: Do you think it's possible to run out of material?
KH: Nah, never. There is always new music to root up that will influence me into getting back into the studio and making more of my own tracks. I do believe I will be doing this until I am 90 or something. I doubt I will be promoting albums then but ill be making music just for my kids and hopefully, myself.
AD: Do you consider yourself an optimistic person?
KH: It's my middle name.
AD: What's next?
We just recorded a live radio session for 2fm here in Ireland. It's actually being played on air now as I type. Ill post the tracks on my space for people to hear more what we sound like live. I'm going to finish off this spectator album I spoke about.
Then I plan to get the current Autamata live band into the studio and write a killer album together in the studio rather than just by myself as we have a really good energy as a "band". So maybe Autamata is turning into a band! Always evolving!
We are booking in more gigs and plan to head back to Austin for SXSW.
AD: Anything else?
KH: New album is now available in Waterloo records y'all.

We regularly prepare and provide the best advice on all commercial contracts. From negotiating and advising on complex construction or supply agreements, to preparing simple loan agreements and standard terms and conditions.
We draft contracts to use with your employees, subcontractors and agreements for supplying goods or services, or hiring equipment.
We have fixed prices for preparing contracts. Because our offices are not located in the CBD our rates are substantially lower, often up to 20% lower, than most commercial law firms.
If you already have contracts in place, we can:
- update your existing contracts to make sure that your interests are sufficiently protected;
- add clauses to contracts that allow you to recover your costs, including legal costs and interest;
- draft clauses that protect your ability to recover property that is leased, supplied or hired to another person or company pursuant to a contract; and
- ensure that your terms and conditions are compliant with the Personal Property Securities Act 2009 (Cth).
We can draft guarantees for you to use with any directors of a company that you are entering into a contract with, so that you can ensure the company will fulfill its obligations under the contract, such as any obligations to make payment.
We can also draft restraint of trade clauses and non-solicitation clauses to include in employment contracts and clauses that sufficiently protect your intellectual property from internal theft by employees or contractors.
- Restraint of trade clauses are clauses in a contract that restrain employees or contractors from engaging in a particular trade for a certain period of time and within a geographic area.
- Non-solicitation clauses are clauses in a contract that prevent an employee or contractor from pursuing clients of the employer or principal's business.

I went back and forth with myself on whether to write about this but I need to tell someone. It's not good to keep things totally bottled up inside. Even if I don't have anyone to talk to, it helps to blog it and let it out.
I had my three-year review today at work. I didn't expect it to be good due to the recent bad-blood between my boss and I. We clashed a bit over the last few months as I was feeling overwhelmed and he just kept piling it on. We had a little chat last week and have pretty much ironed it out. It was too late for my review though. He had already submitted it last month.
I expected him to be somewhat vindictive and I wasn't disappointed. He nitpicked everything and blew it all out of proportion. I did still get a raise due to the calculative manner of the review procedure. It was 2.5% which is not all that bad. I don't really care about the money. Had I got no raise it would not have mattered much. I don't need more money. What DID matter was the bruising of my ego and damage to my self-esteem.
I work my ass off every day. I go from one thing to the next and don't even take a break. I feel guilty about going to lunch. At the end of the day, I'm completely worn out mentally and physically. It was painful to see that it was mostly in vain.
What hurts most is that I take pride in my work. I work efficiently. I work with the user's needs in mind. When I am told that I'm not doing a good job it really bothers me because I know that I AM doing a good job. A better job than most people would do in my position. Being constantly overwhelmed makes doing the perfect job virtually impossible. I am doing the best anyone can do in this environment. It's kind of the feeling you get when your dad is disappointed with you even though you've done the very best you can and thought you had succeeded. He only sees the failure.
The boss did indicate that he was sorry about what he had written and it was too late to make any changes. I understood and don't hold it completely against him. It's human nature. Still, there's mental damage deep down. I'm sure I can overcome it with time. Time heals all wounds as they say. Such has been proven time and time again in my experience. Sleep can do wonders as well. I took a little ZZZQuil to help me drift off tonight. We'll see how much better I feel in the morning. Each day is Groundhog Day anyway. I put my review at the bottom of a stack of papers in my computer room.
Self-Esteem has always been a problem issue with me. I should be used to it. A regular person might cry or go into deep depression or perhaps rage. Other than an annoying buzz of sadness, I don't feel any outrageous reaction. I'm an adult now, technically, anyway.
So what am I to do next? I only have 10 months left before I semi-retire so switching jobs seems overkill. It's not all that bad I guess. As always, it could be worse. I think I'll just do my best to shrug it off and put on a happy face.
Like I said, I don't hold it against my boss. I'm open to the fresh start we are already experiencing. I might work a little less hard and cut out the unnecessary duties. Take a break each day and reduce the stress a bit. I think a good plan would be to "Work smarter, not harder." I'm not a Machiavellian planner. That takes too much energy and thought. I just want to do a good job and lean toward feeling positive about going to work each day. There's not a lot of mental reward where I work. I've done my best to hand out compliments to those who deserve them. It's better to give than receive anyway.
Boy I'm full of proverbs today. Strangely enough, they are apt.
I feel better. Thank you for letting me tell you about my petty, first-world problems. It really does help to let them out.

The Bertoline cottage is one of the Sea Shells, a cottage colony on Chequessett Neck Road in Wellfleet that converted to condo ownership. It is just beyond and next to Powers Landing, a small public bay beach, and about ½ mile to the yacht club on the way out to Great Island. There are two levels, street level where everyone parks, and up on the hill, which is reached by a set of steps built into a dune. Coral is one of three cottages on top of the dune, third back from the water side. It has a panoramic view of Wellfleet Bay over the roofs of the lower cottages. It is about a mile to the town pier, town tennis, little league field, and town recreation program for kids, and about the same distance into Wellfleet center. The cottage was remodeled a few years ago and now has a bedroom downstairs and two at the top of a metal spiral staircase. Elevating the sleeping space made more living area on the first floor, including a small dining area with a water view. The cottage allows five occupants, has cable TV and phone. Coin laundry facilities are provided on the property for the use of all cottages.

"The overall tone went a long way to suggesting that if the voice of the people is the voice of God, then stepping aboard a tram may incur the wrath of heaven."
"You'll have had your trams." Not since Aneirin, court poet at Din Eidyn in the sixth century, rhymed 'Ywain' and 'cairn' has a line so pithily captured local frustration. The intervening history is spectacularly dotted with SNAFUs – Flodden, the muddleheaded wombatry of Edinbuggers during the '45, lacking Nashville's knack of reconstructing Parthenons, and of course the reinstallation of the trams ripped out during the mid-twentieth century's fetish for civic self-harm.
Joe Douglas, he of Educating Ronnie fame, has been out and about interviewing folk for their take on the city's 7 year itch. Douglas arranged the material, collected from sources in and out of the loop, into 50 minutes of dramatically rendered vox pop. The overall tone went a long way to suggesting that if the voice of the people is the voice of God, then stepping aboard a tram may incur the wrath of heaven.
We enter to find an upright piano, manned stage right by David Paul Jones; a fluorescent jacket hanging on a coat stand far upstage centre; and two chairs downstage, leftish, occupied by Nicola Roy and Jonathan Holt. To the sound of Jones' seductive tickling of the ivories – "Once I built a railroad, now it's done, Brother, can you spare a dime?" – Roy and Holt set out to distill Douglas' captured voices into a lotion of essential oil.
It's not always clear if this balm is intended to soothe or aggravate. At times I get to wondering where lies the line between satire, sackcloth and ashes. Tribal identity is a strange thing. If a bloke's kickball team teeters on the edge of relegation he feels personally embarrassed. If his cooncil ignorantly mismanages a major infrastructure project he feels personally shamed.
Several of the interviewees argued that the trams would damage Edinburgh's reputation. Perhaps I am too divorced from the starched self-regard of the city's professional classes, but I suspect globetrotters will not be crossing Auld Reekie off their to do list because of the trams – it would be like avoiding the Nuit Blanche festival because Toronto's mayor likes the hard stuff.
Roy and Holt heave and rally, dragging up the dead weight (after all there is only so much entertainment to be drawn from the politics of civil engineering) with style and flare. Watching them is like observing a competitive game of dress up, as each leaps into the voice (if not always the movement) of the character they are inhabiting.
Roy was flawless: dynamic control matched by a powerful delivery. Holt might have been this too, only his villainous German contractor accent (surely there was comedy gold to be had there) was so bad he'd have struggled to be admitted to the cast of 'Allo 'Allo!
My old Newcastle People's Theatre pal Tom Saunders on the sound and lighting desk did what he does best, being artful without being showy. Despite the minimalist staging, Saunders created 3 distinct spaces with an interplay of sparingly applied foundation. If, for the sake of a Cancer Research promoting selfie, this production decided to do without his makeup it might well have appeared noticeably more harassed and haggard.
This was a serious-minded production for serious-minded people. Although I didn't stay for the after show talk, I had a prior engagement to gnaw my own leg off, I would like to have seen Douglas producing something beyond the earnest range he conquered in Educating Ronnie. He does a great line in upfront sincerity – as does Edinburgh's most recent famous son, Tony Blair.
The use of recorded prompts feeding into the ears of Roy and Holt was a bold move. It provided meaty monologue on short notice, might have gone horribly wrong, but paid off handsomely. For all that Holt isn't going to be playing Willy Brandt any time soon, (he does a fine impression of his director BTW), both he and Roy demonstrated a discipline under pressure matched only by their lightness of touch. The clay rose from their wheel into an innovative, engaging piece of fringe theatre.

Project Location
Crete & the Village of Panormo
Crete-A brief overview
The largest and most southerly of the Greek islands, Crete offers more variety and sunshine than any other, with mild short winters and a pollution free atmosphere.
Compared to other European Countries, Crete has a low population density and easily accessible landscape, this coupled with a sense of security based on a very low crime rate attracts many expatriates, who choose to holiday or live permanently on the island.
Surveys have indicated that due to the lifestyle and the Cretan diet our people rate as the healthiest in Europe. Low amount of diseases like cancer, heart problems etc. This is directly linked to the olive oil, food, the climate (always sunshine) and our philosophy that life is there to be enjoyed!!
Cretan people are proud of their fascinating ancient and modern history and are known for the hospitality they offer to visitors.
Panormo Village
Download the map of Panormo
Download the map of Panormo
Panormo is a typical example of a Cretan village. Centrally located at the North coast of the island, 58 km west of Heraklion and only 20 km from Rethymno. Panormo has not been affected by the onslaught of mass tourism.The warm and friendly inhabitants, less than 500, still work in the fields on the small fertile plains,or else are shepherds and fishermen.
Whitewashed buildings gleaming in the mid day sun, a mini-maze of back streets sloping gently down to the small harbour and pretty beaches.
There's the traditional village square, with tavernes and Kafenea and the old picturesque houses are being renovated and restored with great elegance. For shopping the village has mini markets, a bakery, butchery, gift shops, post office, car hire etc. In and around Panormo you'll find small beaches of smooth sun-warmed pebbles, sandy coves, some with water sports facilities, fishing, diving etc. There is a Golf course only 55 minutes away.
There are buses, which go regularly to Rethymno (15 min) or to Heraklion and Chania making Panormo an ideal base to explore many parts of Crete. The airports of Heraklion and Chania are only 45 minutes and 65 minutes drive respectively.

The single "Phone" from Cavemouth's new EP I Don't Have a Dog is like finding money on the sidewalk. An unexpected gift/surprise from Cavemouth, a foursome that grew up together in the county of Devon in England.
They were friends during that great era of raves and house parties and there was no shortage of exceptional music in those days to influence a group of guys forming a band. The location was influential as well, "Music based on the wilds of Exmoor," as stated in their website's bio. Devon is an incredible and beautiful place with lots of history, some of which are dark, very dark.
So, it's no wonder these four have put together a unique combination of funk, blues, alternative, hip-hop, rock. Their distinctive sound is also described as swamp funk, with hashtags that include #dirty,#gritty,#roadkill, well, how can one not like this musical gumbo?
"Phone" is pretty straightforward as far as the meaning behind the song goes. A guy involved with someone who is oblivious to the world in general, because said person is staring at their phone. I think we can all recognize this… those people who are on their phone all day. Maybe you are one of them. Regardless, it is relatable.
The first notes we hear in "Phone" are from the saxophone, which is one of the aforementioned surprises. It's accompanied by funk-laden guitar, drums, and bluesy vocals. Unlike the simplicity of the theme, the band delivers the song in an original, smart, driven and fast-paced complexity.
Cavemouth is not ordinary fare. So, if you're in the mood for chicken you're going to get gator tails because after all, Cavemouth is swamp funk and so much more.
RARA's Farm is a rock music blog keenly focused on sharing killer rock music news to the rock music fans who visit our site. Make sure you Like / Follow Us below to keep in the loop on new music worth a listen, or just to be nice to us.

11 Thanksgiving 2017 Toast And Speech Ideas That Will Move All Of Your Guests
Ah, Thanksgiving. A time to gather with family and friends to engage in merriment and squabbles that only happen when everyone you haven't seen all year is seated around the same table to eat until they explode. And, let's not forget the toast. These Thanksgiving 2017 toast and speech ideas will help provide you with plenty to say if you get nominated to give the Thanksgiving 2017 toast.
Over the years I've been to many different types of Thanksgivings. From holidays that induced arguing and childish behavior that could rival that of the movie Home for the Holidays, to one where I was traumatized by a room in the host's house that was dedicated entirely to a scary porcelain doll collection. One thing's for sure — Thanksgiving is never dull.
While 2017 is a year where you've probably spent a lot of time laughing to keep from crying, there is always something to be grateful for, even if it's just being thankful that no one threw the turkey in your lap, or the knowledge that that your free-range, organic Thanksgiving bird lived a good life before it landed on your table to provide you with a holiday dinner. If you're at a loss for words, these Thanksgiving 2017 toast and speech ideas have got you covered.
1. Express Your Love For Food, Family, & Friends
Thanksgiving 2017 is a perfect time express your gratitude to family and friends. Consider this quote from Marcel Proust: "Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom." You probably don't want to add in any old confessions, like Aunt Glady (above) in Home for the Holidays. After all, that's what Christmas is for. On Thanksgiving it's best to keep it light and loving.
2. Thanksgiving With Friends Toast
"... Always remember your friends will be there quicker than your family. Learn to remember you got great friends, don't forget that and they will always care for you no matter what. Always remember to smile and look up at what you got in life." — Marilyn Monroe
3. Love & Kindness Toast
Mother Monster is always good for quotes about love, tolerance, and kindness — which are relevant themes for Thanksgiving 2017, and the double meaning of feeding your family and friends and feeding community is perfect. "I believe in a passion for inclusion... I think tolerance and acceptance and love is something that feeds every community ... You can try to find something beautiful in every single person, no matter what." — Lady Gaga
4. Gratitude Toast
"Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance." — Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose
5. Thanksgiving Blessings Toast
"When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed." ― Maya Angelou
6. On Seeing The Bright Side Speech
"Gratitude is looking on the brighter side of life, even if it means hurting your eyes." — Ellen DeGeneres, The Funny Thing Is...
7. Thanksgiving Poem
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends. — Ralph Waldo Emerson, excerpt from We Thank Thee
8. Acknowledging The Good Toast
"Real life isn't always going to be perfect or go our way, but the recurring acknowledgement of what is working in our lives can help us not only to survive but surmount our difficulties." — Sarah Ban Breathnach
9. Be Thankful; It Could Always Be Worse Speech
"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful." — Buddha
10. Lift Each Other Up Toast
"You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh
11. Everyone Says What They're Thankful For Toast
Make your Thanksgiving 2017 toast participatory by reading this gratitude quote and asking everyone to go around the table and state one thing they are grateful for.
"Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it." ― William Arthur Ward

Bytecoin, which is known to be one of the leaders in anonymous cryptocurrency, has made an intermediate summary regarding their Asian expansion and is moving forward with major updates in the Far East market.
The Asian cryptocurrency market has proven to be the area with the biggest potential in the blockchain world, according to several price and volume aggregators. Despite the fact that there were several rumors about bans and restrictions, many countries in Asia have been the most involved in crypto trading, development, and education. As a result, the Bytecoin team has decided to start their Asian expansion by building local communities, including Korean, Chinese, Japanese, as well as other local ones, and getting listings on major Asian exchanges.
Due to the high demand in the Asian community for trading with the first private cryptocurrency built on CryptoNote technology, the Bytecoin team has started to cooperate with popular Asian blockchain-related corporations, including major exchanges, C2C or "decentralised" services, marketplaces, etc. This is the main objective for every project willing and interested in entering this new market. The Team has successfully gone through many difficulties, found local representatives and supporters who know the local markets and the mentality of the people living there, as well as sped up all of the business actions (cooperation/processes).
During the 2nd quarter of 2018, the Bytecoin team is going to be expanding its operation towards the Middle East market, one of the biggest pools of investors which will undoubtedly bring a new wave of investments to the Bytecoin cryptocurrency market. The Team still considers the Asian market as one of its biggest priorities for Bytecoin in 2018 and will force the business processes to announce the upcoming partnerships. But by diversifying its focus Bytecoin will be able to expand to even more and greater markets around the world.
Thanks to the early steps performed by the Bytecoin team at the beginning of this year, a base for further successful expansion has been placed and made possible. There is still plenty of work to do in the near future, however, the team is ready to move ahead and face whatever challenges the market will bring on the horizon.

~Richard Rohr
Listen carefully to the many examples, parables, and metaphors used by Jesus. You will notice that they are more nature-based, lifestyle-based, relationship-based—much more so than based on any concepts of philosophy, academia, or churchiness. He says things like "Look at the lilies of the field" (Matthew 6:28) and "Observe the ravens" (Luke 12:24); he speaks of a woman looking for a coin, and a father running after his son. He does not talk about the candlesticks, priestly vestments, or what was later named "orthodoxy," in fact he warns against such "righteousness." Certainly in the three Synoptic Gospels there is no sense Jesus is walking around proclaiming eternal doctrines and dogmas. If so, he left an awful lot of room for misinterpretation, a contrary opinion, or even fuzzy thinking. Christian teachers must be honest here.
Jesus uses normal language that uneducated people can understand. Frankly, it is a bit disappointing. Jesus looks at things right in front of him, and talks about what's real and what's unreal, what lasts and what does not last at all. He often criticizes us for our lack of common sense, and lack of religious common sense: "You know how to read the face of the sky, but you cannot see the signs of the times. This is an evil and unfaithful generation" (Matthew 16:3-4). The problem seems to be that we too quickly made Jesus into "God" before we just let him be our daily teacher, lover, and friend.
[Adapted from the webcast What is the Emerging Church?]
Not a Competitive Religion
Paul, a good Jew, quotes Deuteronomy, "The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (Romans 10:8), and begins with a challenge that we still need today: "Do not tell yourself that you have to bring Christ down!" (Romans 10:6). He knew that God had overcome the human-divine gap in the Christ Mystery once and for all. God is henceforth here, and not just there.
This is Christianity's only completely unique message. Full incarnation is what distinguishes us from all other religions. This is our only real trump card, and for the most part, we have not yet played it. History, the planet—and other religions—have only suffered as a result. Incarnationalism does not put you in competition with any other religions but, in fact, allows you to see God in all things, including them! It mandates that you love and respect all others.
The mystery of the Incarnation is precisely the repositioning of God in the human and material world and not just part of that world. Common variety top-down religion often creates very passive, and even passive-dependent and passive-aggressive Christians. Certainly that is very common in my own Roman Church. Bottom-up, or incarnational, religion offers a God we can experience for ourselves and a God we can see—and must see—in everyone else. Any God on a throne does not achieve that purpose, but merely makes you fight other "thrones."

Issue: How to fix 0x8007045A Error Code on Windows?
I have no idea what does 0x8007045A Error Code mean or why it happens. Only one thing that I know is that Windows is working abnormally. System keeps telling that it needs shut down to restart normally. Each time I receive 0x8007045A error message, it takes several minutes for the system to start working properly, which is getting on my nerves already. I moved my data to an external hard drive and now really need your help to fix this miserable Windows 10 bug. Please help!!
Solved Answer
0x8007045A Error Code or ERROR_DLL_INIT_FAILED is yet another Windows 10 bug. Although it's not the most common one, quite a lot people suffer from it. This error code is displayed in a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) format and typically forces the system to restart. If the error does not restart the system automatically, then, in the majority of the cases, users get to panic and force the system to restart by themselves. Typically, 0x8007045A Error Code occurs when a PC user attempts to use the Windows Update or Microsoft Update Web site.
Thus, if you are trying to download updates from the aforementioned sites and the message (text given below) shows up, it means that there is a file mismatch problem on your Windows system. Usually, 0x8007045A is triggered by a corrupted or misplaced Msxml.dll file. To find out what is the core of this error, we would strongly recommend installing Reimage and running a full system scan with it. This software is known as a PC optimization tool, what means that its purpose is to check for registry issues, malware, startup/login issues, inappropriate third-party software, and similar problems that may be the reason of 0x8007045A ERROR_DLL_INIT_FAILED BSOD. If you are not fond of the program mentioned above, you may also fix this problem by yourself. To make it easy, we have prepared a step-by-step guide.
Cannot find [PATH]\Error_dll_init_failed.

- Run it and check if this error has gone.
Fix 2. Scan the system for damaged dll files
Windows system has a built-in function for checking/fixing DLL related issues. As we have already mentioned, 0x8007045A bug may be triggered by missing, corrupted or misplaced dll file, which is why this method would be reasonable. Try it:
- Click Win key + X simultaneously and select Command Prompt (Admin) option.
- Type sfc/scannow command and hit Enter afterwards.

Place of Origin: Baltimore, Maryland
The luminous watercolors within my art pieces focus on architecture, still life, and interiors, coupled with dramatic color, light, and design. Historic references to early painting serve as an inspiration to this end. The quest is to capture the warmth, glow, and freshness of watercolor.
What is Decipher Art™?
The gallery offers a unique filter called "Decipher Art™". Through this innovative psychologically-oriented filter the artist communicates the potential emotional reaction that you may experience from each particular art piece. This feature adds a practical and functional aspect that goes beyond esthetics, enabling you to create the desired emotional state within a space.
