Cursive / Burst and Bloom /
Saddle Creek
Sample 30 seconds of "Sink to the Beat"
Burst and Bloom
's first track, "Sink to the Beat," is one of those songs that tries to go where others don't -- that is, it's a song about songs. But as soon as you think you've got it pegged as such, the screaming guitars come in, reaching a place that lyrics never could. Then, with equal abruptness, the song goes all emotional, and as it digs into your heart you don't want to categorize it. Tim Kasher screams the last few lines, delivering the complete indie/post-punk song package at its artistic best. Unfortunately, the EP's other songs are mediocre, often suffering from overly prosaic lyrics. The disc rides on the power of "Sink to the Beat," unsuccessfully trying to visit new planes. Cursive knows when to scream, and they know when to cut loose with an outburst of musical chaos, but most of these songs lack focus and direction; I can't see them winning the band many new fans. --
Robert Barry/Fred Anderson / Duets 2001 /
Thrill Jockey
Sample 30 seconds of "Taps"
Even in a city known for its free music scene, veteran jazz musicians Fred Anderson and Robert Barry stand out. Tenor saxophonist Anderson co-founded the progressive Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians in 1965; he currently owns his own jazz club, and continues to hone his art. Barry has drummed with hundreds of jazz titans over fifty years, and was a founding member of Sun Ra's Arkestra. Past accolades aside,
Duets 2001
showcases two musicians still in peak creative form, performing together for only the second time, in a show recorded at Chicago's Empty Bottle. For me, much free jazz seems to have too much going on at once -- too many notes, as it were. Simplified to just sax and drums, the music swings instead of sputters, even when heading into the abstract. "Bouncing", the album's first and longest track, starts things off with a relaxed grace that defines the record's musical precision. "Taps" is more upbeat than one might think, given the title; "Dark Days" feels like a cloudy, humid summer afternoon. More duets should be this lively. --
My Morning Jacket / At Dawn /
Sample 30 seconds of "If It Smashes Down"
With his second release, Jim James has cobbled together an hour's worth of lonely country tunes reminiscent of Neil Young's gentler work. While the more rock-oriented tunes are palatable, I prefer the "acoustic guitar and a campfire" feel of the quieter numbers.
At Dawn
's crown jewel is "If It Smashes Down", on which James plucks his banjo and sings into a coffee can. The solitude of this track is spectacular and lasting. The first 2500 copies of
At Dawn
come with a bonus disc of demo tracks, so buy early and buy often. --
Work of Saws / Motivation and Watertower Grammar /
Thick Furniture
Sample 30 seconds of "Buttercup, You're a Canyon"
With its intriguingly vague cover imagery and impressive forty-four song track listing,
Motivation and Watertower Grammar
immediately stuck out as one of the more promising discs we've received in the last few weeks. I wish I could say that it's as good as it looks. There's a definite Elephant 6 vibe at work here, filtered through a rough, Guided By Voices-style aesthetic; the tracks are, naturally, short -- hey, when you're squeezing forty-four tracks into sixty-one minutes, a two-minute tune is an epic -- and catchy melodies are clearly the priority. The band tries a little of everything here, from straightforward power-pop and jangly lo-fi country to psychedelic folk explorations and feedback-drenched garage rave-ups. Unfortunately, some of the catchiest songs clock in at under a minute, while other tunes are dragging well before they hit the ninety second mark. Also, I hate to point this out, but vocalist Brock Davis seems to have a rather pronounced lisp, which drags some of the songs ("Buttercup, You're a Canyon", for instance), I suspect unintentionally, into the realm of twee, Of Montreal-style self-parody. There are some pop gems on
Motivation and Watertower Grammar
, and I'd encourage you to check it out, but it's a clear case of the hazards of kitchen-sink artistry. --
The Orange / Big Space Mission /
Sample 30 seconds of "Filibuster"
This year has already offered a handful of wonderful debuts (Kid Dynamite and Sound Team come immediately to my mind). The Orange are easily of the same caliber -- maybe even better. "The Nomad Way" is like an electric version of Kingston Trio's goofier material, but keeps breaking down into a punk rock stomping ground, while "Young Amphibians" has more hooks than a fisherman, and seems to be a factual discussion of fish -- edible shellfish. I don't know what "Filibuster" is really about, but no band has ever gone wrong matching "Uncle Sam" with "damn"; they also sing the word "rigamarole" like young kids getting off on their first dirty word. It's gotta be heard to be believed, and immediately made me rush to see what this band looked like. Well, they look mighty normal, but they are all a bunch of Fonzies in my book: cool as can be, and with a very clever sense of humor ("like a rumor or an influenza, something's goin' round") that makes it easy to appreciate them as much, or more, than some of the great bands other folks have compared them to (Superchunk, Weezer). They seem far less indie than "old-school charming" -- the type of band whose loudest moments are still giddy enough to make Ma and Pa smile. --
Pinehurst Kids / Bleed it Dry /
Sample 30 seconds of "Rollover"
The Pinehurst Kids have always teetered on the edge of indie rock stardom. Hailing from the fertile Northwest breeding ground that produced Modest Mouse, Unwound and Built to Spill certainly hasn�t hurt their profile, nor have tours with the likes of Ultimate Fakebook and The Alkaline Trio.
Bleed it Dry
is this young band�s third album, and while it more than likely will not catapult them into the national consciousness, it shows that the last few years of constant touring and recording have helped them to hone their craft. Fusing the manic energy of Superchunk with the devastating hooks of Guided by Voices, the group burns songs like "Rollover" and "All I Know" into your temporal lobes. Joe Davis� brassy croon and gift for penning sickly-sweet melodies fuels guitar-led firecrackers like "Planet of the Apes" and "Big Fight", while "No Show" displays the more subtle aspects of his writing. But for as good as the majority of
Bleed it Dry
is, there is no getting around the fact that it sounds an awful lot like the band�s first two records. Some major retooling of their sound is needed if they expect to ever receive the mass adoration that a majority of their Northwestern brethren currently enjoy. --
Braer Rabbit / Circuit Trainer /
Foolproof Projects
Sample 30 seconds of "Direct Communication With Otis"
Somewhere in-between the Kraut-rock genius of Can and the paralyzing psychosis of Caroliner, you'll find Braer Rabbit. "Circuit Trainer" offers avant-garde instrumental madness that borders on an industrial calamity; machine-like clangs create a rough backbeat while a flurry of indiscernible equipment badgers your eardrums. Imagine being trapped in a toy store and having everything come to life, drowning you in a flood of shrieks, creaking motors and out-of-control children's musical instruments. "Direct Communication With Otis" shifts to a more methodical approach, featuring hypnotizing percussion akin to a Balinese Gamelan, but without any high-pitched bells. Grumbling samples and hazy, washed-out keyboards float in the air, fashioning an eerie shroud. This nonsensical, outlandish offering dishes out more than you can handle, forcing preemptive action: you'll either embrace Braer Rabbit's noted musical eccentricites or be forced to throw this 7" into the briar patch. --
Various Artists / The Rough Guide to the Music of Scandinavia /
World Music Network
Sample 30 seconds of JPP's "Antin Mikko"
Most of the
Rough Guides
are excellent, and
The Rough Guide to the Music of Scandinavia
is no exception. The Scandinavian sounds featured range from traditional folk (a cross between French accordion and Celtic fiddle music) to Saami chant (a dead ringer for Lakota chanting) to experiments with African percussion and traditional guitar. Although I'm not sure how this is intended to teach me about "typical" Scandinavian music, I was frequently impressed by artists who made innovative use of familiar sounds while keeping interest in national culture alive. Like all recent
Rough Guides
, this CD is enhanced by a data track on Scandinavian musical history and geography. It won't make you an expert, but it might inspire further study. --
Sonic Joyride
/ Behemoth /
Sample 30 seconds of "Is Anybody Out There?"
Guitarist/vocalist Chris Hoblen and bassist/synthist Rick Reese have joined with drummer Matt Scurfield to create a substantially more than credible mainstream rock record. The fellows of Sonic Joyride earn points for their unrelenting work ethic -- the same ethic that motivated them, in 1997, to trick out a Bluebird school bus as a mobile concert venue and stage a
DIY tour of the US. Their hardworking nature is audible here as polish and sheen on mature, VH1-style rock. "Is Anybody Out There?" is
mildly existential first single, its chunky, pop-rock attitude and suitably vague lyrics exemplifying the pleasant, if not groundbreaking, music to be found here. "Don't Ask Why" soars while begging the question, "Why don't people wave cigarette lighters at concerts anymore?" It's poppy enough to be radio-friendly, and though it's a bit too quick-tempoed for proper cigarette lighter waving, it definitely has that earnest rock ballad thing going on. Sonic Joyride clearly wants it badly enough, so I wouldn't be surprised to hear them break out into the mainstream soon. --
The Magic Carpathians Project / Ethnocore 2: Nyt� /
Drunken Fish
Sample 30 seconds of "Uluru"
Next time you're stuck in your living room with a group of friends who just
leave, slip
Ethnocore 2: Nyt�
in your CD player, turn up the volume and watch your campers suddenly come up with odd excuses for abrupt departure. Unless your guests enjoy loud, slightly off-key chanting accompanied by something that sounds like the
catcall, "Nyt�" will work best for breaking up the party. Though this particular Magic Carpathians release will never be a crowd pleaser, it has some surprisingly enjoyable moments. The incorporation of some extremely random sounds, such as an excerpt from an Indian wedding ceremony and a sample of a chanting group of Buddhist nuns, adds a bit of originality to the typical world folk music theme. The majority of the album is overkill, most notably in its use of the didgeridoo (recently beaten to death by the
Survivor II
theme song), but on occasion the music drifts into a Dead Can Dance-type rhythm that works by melding spookiness and serenity, as on the eerie "Atropa Belladonna Cries" and "The Marpha Beat". It's in these incidences that the group's musical originality shines brightest. --
The Railway Raver / You�ll Never Get Anywhere by Spending all Day Playing with that Bloody Drum Machine EP /
Sample 30 seconds of "Dinosaur Acid"
Jordan Muscott,
The Railway Raver, seems to be something of an anomaly in today�s all-too-serious IDM scene. From its humorous title onward,
You�ll Never Get Anywhere by Spending all Day Playing with that Bloody Drum Machine
takes every opportunity to poke fun at its creators� genre of choice. Whether utilizing frantic breaks to extol the virtue of dropping "Dinosaur Acid", using odd sampled vocals and meaty beats to explain what it�s like to "Live the Life of a Nothing" or streamlining his sound to let you see things through "The Eyes of Garfield (part 4)", Muscott not only keeps his tongue firmly in cheek but also leaves his hands free to flip the bird at any "serious" electronic musicians who might happen to cross his path. Think of him, if you will, as a less volatile but no less talented version of glitchtronica terrorist Kid 606. If you like your dance music smartly crafted and your artists smart-assed,
You�ll Never Get Anywhere by Spending all Day Playing with that Bloody Drum Machine
may well be the album you�ve been looking for all your life. --
The Scooters / Peepshow /
Sample 30 seconds of "Bones 2 Ashes"
Pop! Music! 4/4 and three-part harmonies. Infectious hooks. Comparisons to the Beatles and the Byrds. The Scooters (Welsh Band) cover all the requisite pop-rock bases with this debut release. The music is impeccably tight and flawlessly performed, and the songcraft is generally superior to most other bands in this genre. It�s hard not to like this
, but it's a little too glossy to really win me over. I see that one song was recorded in Hollywood, and the evidence shines like LA�s hazy sun. This is less Super Furry Animals than it is the closing credits for the latest WB teen show -- music for some serious slow-motion hi-fiving and big white smiles from girls whose only sense of guilt or sadness comes from pop songs. This is hitting the bars after long days on the speedboat. But hey, isn�t that what most of us want? Maybe they�ll bring
to Wales next season. --
Various Artists / Samba Soul 70 /
Six Degrees
Sample 30 seconds of Erlon Chaves' "Cosa Nostra"
Samba soul, also referred to as Brazilian Black Music, was born in the late 1960s, when South American artists paid tribute to African American culture by incorporating soul and R&B elements into their spicy samba/jazz compositions. Powerful horn sections, Gospel-inspired harmonies and loose-limbed, funky rhythms were fused with loungy bossa-nova tunes, creating -- against all odds -- some truly excellent music.
Samba Soul 70
cherry-picks the genre's best tunes, offering an hour of feverish brass, slippery bass lines and booty-shaking samba goodness. Play it at your next big summer party and, miracle of miracles, your friends (except for that one asshole who keeps trying to play Dave Matthews Band) might leave the damn stereo alone. Against all odds, this self-described "party album" is actually great party music, and might actually turn your next boring barbecue into a beer-commercial style bacchanalia. Lighthearted and loads of fun,
Samba Soul 70
is virtually guaranteed to lift your spirits. --
Right Brigade / Self-Titled /
Sample 30 seconds of "Broken"
Boston's Right Brigade lurk near the back of an ever growing line of pastiche-punkers trying to add their spin to the anthemic hardcore sound established more than fifteen years ago by bands like SSD and Youth of Today. This self-titled release is a collection of youth-crew-style vocals overlaying crunching guitars and abrasive drums; it's as ferocious and urgent as it is a paragon of hardcore cliches. Right down to the straight-edge lyrics,
Right Brigade
is crying out for an ounce of eccentricity. Songs like "Back From This" and "Of My Life" match a Gorilla Biscuits melody with over-abundant usage of the word "fuck" in a meager attempt to sound edgy and underground. Given the seemingly endless line of rap-metal acts currently clogging MTV, things obviously can get much worse, so Right Brigade score some points on the Ian Mackaye "At Least We're Fucking Trying!" scale, but the album remains a mediocre effort, unable to rise above the band's all too apparent influences. --
Farm Crew / Revenge of M.C. Banana /
Hermit Entertainment
Sample 30 seconds of "Jerome & Chester"
Open a copy of
Revenge of M.C. Banana
and you'll see pictures of the artists; their names are Space Cadet, Papa Doc and Eye Spy. These guys are here to show you the flipside of hiphop -- the hypocrisy of it all -- and to keep you grooving the whole way through. Unfortunately, the band walks a fine line between seriousness and self-mockery. Most of their songs, as with other songs in the genre, are composed of a few repeated measures of music and some rhyming, parental-advisory-laden lyrics. The most interesting thing they do is slip snippets of dialogue between the lyrics.
won't make or break any fans and won't cross any borders, but if you enjoy exploring beyond the bounds of mainstream hip-hop, it's a nice diversion. --
Major / It'z Me /
Sample 30 seconds of "It'z Me"
Droppin' names like Wes Craven and Stephen King in the first five seconds of "It'z Me," Chicago-based rapper Major sets his rhyming skills to one particular midtempo beat. While the bending guitar note wrapped in drum machine beats isn't too catchy, Major's wordplay is impressive; unfortunately, he relies too heavily on this solitary riff, making repeat listening a painful experience. "Revenue" brings to mind a lite Big L, but it falls prey to the same predicament, its urban beat becoming as familiar as a three-chord rock tune. Major has the lyrical skills; he just needs more variety to back his boasts, which can be easily rectified with a few more knob twists and sampling supplements. --
John Brodeur / Tiger Pop / Mr. Duck (CD)
Sample 30 seconds of "Infected"
Brodeur plays a traditional blend of pop, seasoned by years of toil on the Albany club circuit. His solo debut,
Tiger Pop
, is an inviting jaunt through Jason Falkner-style melodies and personalized lyrics that add stark contrast to the album's sometimes saccharine undertones. What the album lacks in straight-up hooks, it more than makes up for in its pristine production, as well as Brodeur's unmistakable sense of enjoyment. At times the CD plays out in epic individuality, almost as if the instruments had animated the rotting carcass of Joan Crawford and resumed her unremitting quest for the spotlight...but in this case it's put to good use. Ephemeral glimpses of synthetic beats and electronic warblings give the disc an osmotic sense of urgency and a freshness you won't find in run of the mill rock records. --
Die Form / AKT: Sideprojects & Experimental Collection /
Sample 30 seconds of "Incubus"
This two-disc collection pulls together several lesser known works by Philippe Fichot, who along with Eliane P. has been disturbing dance floors for nearly twenty years under the name Die Form. While the music here is well-crafted and appropriately creepy, as the title suggests, its increased freedom is gained through sacrificed continuity. This makes two discs worth of ominous goth a bit much to swallow at once. Nevertheless, there is still a lot of haunting music to be found here, most of which would be difficult to fit into a "real" release. This is particularly true for the longer works, such as the twenty minute "Disabled Landscape 2". In this sense, the collection is a successful outlet for some interesting moments, even if it will do little to earn the duo new fans. --
To Rococo Rot and I-Sound / Music is a Hungry Ghost /
Sample 30 seconds of "How We Never Went to Bed"
This collaboration between German techno wizards To Rococo Rot and New York-based DJ/producer I-Sound has gone a long way toward reaffirming my belief that electronic artists can work effectively together, yielding results that are even more impressive than their archetypal work. In sharp contrast to the lackluster efforts of Mike (µ-ziq) & Rich (Aphex Twin), these thirteen tracks are wildly eclectic and full of pleasant surprises. Not content to rely on the same old drum machine patterns and tired beats, TRR and I-Sound have concocted a vast sonic brew that blends elements of hip-hop, jazz and techno into a seriously stinging cocktail. Opener "A Number of Things" is a slow-burning ambient soundscape that glides on sonic wings, while "How we Never Went to Bed" is a nasty slab of grizzled electro-funk that Jimi Tenor would be pleased to call his own. Throughout
Music is...
, I-Sound does a nice job of toning down To Rococo Rot�s penchant for perversity, through his deft skills can�t stop "Mazda in the Mist" from sounding like someone trying to melt his own hand. Equal parts beauty and fury,
Music is a Hungry Ghost
proves that even the best electronic artists can sometimes use a little help from their friends. --
Sometimes Seven / Somehow You Just Don't Get It /
Round Circle
Sample 30 seconds of "Pretty Up"
If this album gets a bad review, the proper reply is
Somehow,You Just Don't Get It
. Yes, there's a strange falsetto part in "Pretty Up", and a memorable lyrical lapse ("I hate myself confiscated and liquored up") that makes one wonder if they'd try to fit the word "confiscated" into any sentence -- for instance, "Good confiscated night". For me, though, these "flaws" just made the group more endearing. Besides, who can complain when half the tracks on a debut album compel you to hit the "replay" button? Like Soul Asylum (in the eighties) and the current Jealous Sound, Sometimes Seven makes wonderful, unpretentious, guitar-heavy rock, sure to inspire grunts of contentment from all the kids who still go to clubs to hear the live music. Jokey material, like the closer, "Hey Mr. Head", is not their strong suit, but what the fuck? Who needs suits when you can play this well? --
Space Rocket / Hot Gadulka Suicide / Boing Being (7")
Sample 30 seconds of "Appreciado Cliente"
Hot damn, this is some good stuff: eight tracks of sinuous free jazz weirdness, backed up by some serious musical chops. Though the credits list such non-traditional sound sources as drill, hand farts and, ahem, dildo,
Hot Gadulka Suicide
is neither art-wanky nor conspicuously inaccessible. Not only will you love the spacy vibe of "Kosmos ABC" and the swanky seventies sitcom attitude of "Appreciado Cliente"; you'll also take great pleasure in the band's loving attention to detail, ably demonstrated on the punk rock flare-up that concludes "'SGYYD". If you love rubber-band basslines and off-kilter guitar scales, Space Rocket belong at the top of your "must buy" list. --
A.C. Cotton / Half Way Down /
Sample 30 seconds of "Great Divide"
Northwest songwriter-singer Alan Charing has returned, armed with a new band and an album of energized country rock numbers. Recorded in Portland�s hip Jackpot! Studios,
Half Way Down
offers the usual gamut of expected turns for a dirty rock band with a sensitive side, providing longing ballads and straight-up whisky rock, with an occasional shot of pop for the road. Charing�s lyrical imagery paints a salty picture of life�s puddles, seen through the eyes of the guilty good guy. Obviously a fan of early Wilco, Charing's words, which very often come across like advice, are usually as clever as his rock and roll voice is convincing. Even though the band veers dangerously close to a few country rock clich�s, it�s obvious that these songs are brimming with genuine emotion. And I respect that. --
The Red
/ Let's Not and Say We Did /
Sample 30 seconds of "Be in L.A."
When playing live, folk-rock duo The Red use only an acoustic guitar and an acoustic bass. On
Let's Not and Say We Did
, their sound is augmented with drums, synths and strings -- all the trappings of a modern recording act. Their music, nonetheless, maintains a certain simplicity, a certain genuineness. I imagine their earnest, folkie sensibilities would be right at home in the cafe section of a Borders Books & Music somewhere. "Be in L.A." is, admittedly, a pretty catchy opening; its loping bassline is ever-so-slightly country, its vocals are emotive and a bit gritty, its tempo is quick and light. "Robot Man" is descriptively more mechanical sounding, reflected mainly in the straight 4/4 time and Devo-like repetitive bass lick. "I Am a Man" is a country song in folk-rock clothing. "I am a man, it's not my fault, what you expect from me…", it emotes. The theme is perhaps a bit dark for traditional country, touching descriptively on lust, betrayal and rape, but change the gait a bit and throw in some lap steel and Bloodshot Records, here it comes! Despite all their thoughtfulness and sensitivity, though, The Red don't really float my boat, though I'd imagine Sheryl Crow fans could really get into them. Maybe I just need to see them live. --
Mishima USA / Hold My Breath /
Sample 30 seconds of "Twist My Arm"
This Boston-area indie-pop group sounds like a more upbeat Aden or True Love Always. While those bands incorporate the traditional rock line-up, Mishima USA's build their delectable pop confections using nothing but a drummer and a singer/guitarist. Despite the minimalist lineup,
Hold My Breath
is a debut album as harmonically lush as it is enjoyable -- a collection of personal odes that lean on the band's influences while taking a fresh look at an otherwise stagnant genre. Songs like "Twist My Arm" and "Frame Relay" leverage the duo's downsized approach against their knack for creating catchy hooks and melodies, resulting in a Donnybrook of pop repose. --
Highdivers / Self-Titled /
Sample 30 seconds of "Rocketheart"
Highdivers head honcho John O'Brien has the kind of voice I wish I had. He also has the plucky confidence to belt out the sort of appealing lyrics and unforgettable melodies that could inspire competing songwriters to hire a hitman to take him out. John, you've been warned. Nonetheless, O'Brien and the Highdivers make a powerful splash with this cannonball five song EP. The infectious and melodic "Rocketheart" sends forth waves of unending pop, warmly opening the disc. Bits of Americana folk, horn accentuations and fiery violin are found deeper within, revealing that the Highdivers are much more than a one trick pop pony. O'Brien's witty sarcasm on "White Guys" takes care of accountants, lawyers and any other paper-pushing type you can think of, all the while sounding like a friendly pop bit. It's great stuff; I just wish there were more tracks available for public consumption. Get back to work, John! --
Patchouli / The Day We Let Go /
Sample 30 seconds of "We'll Be OK"
There are times when you
judge a book by its cover -- or in this case, music by its packaging. Julie Patchouli and Bruce Hecksel seem like extremely nice people, based on more than twenty photos of them on the CD insert -- she with Bo Derek braids and tie-dyed shirt, he with the odd hats and tiny, hippie-like glasses. They're all smiley and happy as they play their music. Partially because they seem so likeable, I really wanted to get into this disc, but it was so predictable that I had to force myself to pay attention. Julie Patchouli has a beautiful voice, similar to Joni Mitchell at times, but the music itself lacks interest. Ultimately, while
The Day We Let Go
isn't by any means "bad" music, it is bland. You'd be better off picking up Mitchell's 1971 classic,
. --
Waterdown / Never Kill the Boy on the First Date /
Sample 30 seconds of "Corporate Identity"
Germany�s Waterdown are part of a new breed of band (see also Boy Sets Fire) that mixes elements of hardcore, metal and emo; they're bombastic, but they aren't afraid to wear their bleeding hearts on their collective sleeves.
Never Kill the Boy on the First Date
is the group�s first Stateside release, and while it�s not exactly groundbreaking material, it suggests that Waterdown may grow into a force to be reckoned with. "Corporate Identity" and "Round Two" exemplify the group's ferocious energy, twin guitars blazing over a rock-solid rhythm section as two vocalists take turns behind the mic. "Sometimes" will conjure head-spinning visions of the aforementioned Boy Sets Fire, while "Impress Me�'s staccato grind and mix of screamed/sung vocals is more than a little reminiscent of Hot Water Music. In short, this is an adrenaline-fueled shot in the arm for a genre that sorely needs fresh energy. --
Below the Sea / The Loss of Our Winter /
Where Are My Records
Sample 30 seconds of "Inie"
If Krzysztof Kieslowski had been cheap, he could have used
The Loss of Our Winter
as the soundtrack to
. Fortunately, he wasn't, or that movie would be as boring as this disc. The instrumentation here is tolerable, although it's mostly mechanical (with the notable exception of the cello, which is the album's saving grace). "Inie" involves a sound like a heartbeat, interspersed with a noise that resembles tinkling porcelain shards. Initially, "Inie" sounds eerie -- then, when nothing happens, it just sounds like the world's most annoying dinner party. Although the rest of the album is mainly ambient trance, it's no improvement on "Inie". The composers begin with a modest musical idea -- usually a few short chords -- and repeat the series over and over without any alteration. Few tracks are melodic. Neither innovative nor entertaining,
The Loss of Our Winter
hits below the belt. --
Park/A Boy Named Thor / Six New Ways to Hold Your Girl While Dancing EP /
Sample 30 seconds of Park's "Scout"
Andy Dierks (Park) and Jason Corace (A Boy Named Thor) are home recording nuts with a penchant for gently twee pop songs. Though their music sounds similar, and pairs well on this charmingly-titled EP, their respective approaches to pop are quite different. Park's material is a bit goofier, making use of low-tech keyboards, insistent bass guitar leads and occasional pot-and-pan percussion. Both "Scout" and "Like She's Addicted to Pathos" will earn smiles from lovers of quirky pop, while "With Rusty Wires" squanders a portion of that goodwill -- and asserts Park's experimental side -- in a noisy, pitch-shifting mass of screeching cacophony that had me convinced my turntable was on the fritz again. A Boy Named Thor's songs are more traditional, favoring tinkly piano backing over heavier keyboard textures. Corace's vocals are a little breathier, lending an earnest enthusiasm to "The Bear and the Bee", while "Dance Party USA" offers a decorous opportunity to get down. "Midnight at the Sage", the closing instrumental, is a gentler, more atmospheric piece than Park's "With Rusty Wires", with some looped crowd ambience behind the guitar and drums. Wrap these seven songs up in some artwork by Geraldine Vo, who did the wonderful cover for The Good Life's
Novena on a Nocturn
, and you have an enjoyable, if distinctly unassuming, package. --
Mary Fahl / Lenses of Contact /
Rough Mix
Sample 30 seconds of "Raging Child"
With a voice immeasurably deeper and richer than the thin wailing of Morissette, Apple,
et al
, Mary Fahl offers the same level of drama as those scream queens, but without the whine. Formerly of modestly successful Epic artists The October Project, Fahl launches her solo career with this four song EP, for which she's gathered a fine band and a producer, Jeffrey Lesser, accustomed to working with distinctive voices (Joni Mitchell, Barbara Streisand). "I've been dancing with monsters, perilously", Fahl sings on "Paolo"; elsewhere she talks more than once about liquor and cigarettes. There's a downside:
Lenses of Contact
sounds like a Monty Python-in-the-Middle Ages name for an optometrist, while the music takes itself very seriously. The vocals are sometimes over-emotive, especially on lyrics like "She is a raging child!" But these are fairly minor quibbles; the EP as a whole turns out a satisfying spin on chamber pop. --

'She is survived by her 6 of 8 children whom she spent her lifetime torturing in every way possible': Scathing obituary about abusive mother goes viral
The children of an abusive woman whose horror stories prompted Nevada to become one of the first states to allow children to sever parental ties wrote a scathing obituary that was published in the local newspaper — and has since become an Internet sensation.
The obituary opened with a harsh statement about the legacy of Marianne Theresa Johnson-Reddick: "On behalf of her children who she abrasively exposed to her evil and violent life, we celebrate her passing from this earth and hope she lives in the after-life reliving each gesture of violence, cruelty and shame that she delivered on her children."
Note: The obit was initially pulled after the date of death was erroneously listed at September 30 instead of August 30.
Thank job they did this, otherwise the damage inflicted on those children could've been permanent! I'm so glad we didn't...

The 24-year-old has never been able to make an impact at Old Trafford and has been sent on loan for the last three seasons with Besiktas, Rio Ave and last term with Pacos de Ferreira.
He impressed at Pacos with 12 goals and that has been enough for Benfica to pursue a deal.
"I am waiting for them to tell me when I can travel, as far as I know the clubs are talking. It would be a good opportunity to relaunch my career. I'll certainly have more chances to play and show myself," he told Renascenca.
"I hope everything will be sorted out by the weekend. I want to put my head in place and work at 100 per cent, without any concerns."
Bebe insists that he wil not be loaned out for a fourth time.
"That certainly won't happen again," he said.
When asked how the feeling of playing for Benfica would be, Bebe said: "Benfica are a golden shop window, they have revealed several players, I hope the same happens with me."
Let's put an end to one of the most embarrassing and ridiculous transfer of my life time. I can't believe that we paid actual money for him. What were Fergie and Queiroz thinking.....- HarryBoulton

Three certified arborists, otherwise known as the Tree DoctoRx, have been maintaining tree and landscape health for 15 years. Their work has garnered a faithful entourage of lifelong clients as well as two consecutive first-place People's Choice Awards from the Fresno Bee. With a detective's eye for detail, they scour the surrounding land in search of potential threats such as diseases and pests suspected of criminal activity. Their integrated pest management rids trees, shrubs, and soil of harmful bugs with low-toxicity, organic products, while their organic based fertilizers burrow into the ground to strengthen root systems against an onslaught of disease, drought, and bugs.
For more than four decades, Weed Man's licensed-and-trained lawn-beautifying experts have tended to local lawns with custom blends of fertilizer, environmentally sound pest-control solutions, and knowledge gleaned from both living and working in the community. Created exclusively for Weed Man, the technicians' slow-release granular fertilizer nurtures lawns over a period of several weeks, and seeding and aeration promote continued green growth. Advice that aims to assist with local lawn problems helps inform patrons online, illuminating seasonal troubles, gardening trends, and the astrological signs of various plants.
Though Hydrex Pest Control was founded in 1960, the company's legacy as a pest-control expert extends back even further. It was founded by Robert B. Loibl Jr., son to one of the founders of the Pest Control Operators of California and its first president in 1942. Along with starting Hydrex, Robert Jr. was also the entrepreneur behind Ant-B-Gone products.
Clearly, Hydrex Pest Control's skill at hounding household pests stems from its long, storied history. The exterminator team today continues this tradition, rooting out nuisances such as earwigs, spiders, and even rodents from their hideouts in and around homes and businesses. The team also inspects for signs of arguably the most destructive critters—termites and rats—for free, recognizing their ability to destroy homes from the inside out.

Tablón de anuncios de Crews: Flight Pilots, The Highland Rebels, Unusual Fellas y muchos otros buscan nuevos reclutas
El tablón de anuncios de Crews es un apartado en el publicamos los mensajes de reclutamiento de las Crews que buscan nuevos miembros para unirse a sus filas.
Algunos de los grupos mencionados anteriormente en esta sección, como The Mojo Jojo, han alcanzado casi los 1000 miembros. Esta semana, entre las Crews que quieren seguir sus pasos, tenemos un escuadrón de aviadores bilingües, unos seres etéreos que ansían subir de nivel en Los Santos y un colectivo de caballeros poco comunes con el firme propósito de destacar entre la multitud.
Surcar los cielos no es una simple cuestión de volar para Gio Pilot, líder de la Crew, y los chicos de Flight Pilots. Esta Crew cuenta con una gran actividad en su página de Facebook y disfrutan de lo lindo cuando despegan de la pista del aeropuerto de Los Santos.
"We are a group of people with a keen interest in commercial aviation who now play GTA Online...
We are looking for players who are very loyal to this Crew, not looking for the best, just looking for people who are good players. We always like to walk together, to assist in Deathmatch games, flying planes and especially to have fun to the fullest.
Our Crew has no limits, we do all kinds of things during our games.
English/Spanish Optional - PS3 Crew"

El líder karnix93 y los miembros de su Crew Outlaws Paletos Bay son una de las muchas divisiones de una red organizada de clubs de moteros que conocen bien su terreno.
"We want to be aggressive and provide a fun atmosphere for our members while providing characteristics that resemble an MC... With a structured and adapted manner of handling our club, we have reached these goals and will reach more.
We have a separate prospecting branch for new members wanting to get into the Outlaw brand. This provides a way for our club to test the prospect in order to see if they have what it takes to be an Outlaw... With more than 2 Chapters, we put our members into the club where it best suits them... The members prospecting begins in their first club meeting (set daily on a set time) to add all patched members, learn our ways, and in a few days they will become an Outlaw if time sees fit. In addition, we are holding a sponsorship program that allows no prospect left behind and have personal mentors in order to become more efficient. We take pride in our members and thus make the weakest part of our chain strong enough to handle what comes our way.
We do our formation riding as clean and as efficient as possible by holding formation practices on Freemode and in Races to prevent unexpected issues like traffic. We are blood thirsty for anybody who is not an Outlaw... Our club activities vary from finding patches to put on our wall to doing scheduled matches from District Domination. We try to keep ourselves in check with other MCs to put out our name and the Outlaw brand so everybody will take notice.
We are active, we are blood thirsty, we are organized, we are OFFO.
Outlaws Forever, Forever Outlaws."

"What's up everyone, we are the (Annunaki Lords) and we are currently looking for (PS3) members to join and expand 'our' Crew. Whether you're a seasoned GTA gamer or just starting out, ANYONE and EVERYONE is invited, there are no strict rules or guidelines to follow, just have fun!! All we ask of you is to check in periodically to let us know that you're still alive and give feedback on what could make the Crew better.
We also have a custom CREW RANKING HIERARCHY which can be seen below:
So once again, if you're down to join a Crew that's all about having fun and getting things done when the time calls for it, then check us out when you get a chance. The door is always open. - PS3 / Annunaki Lords."

The Highland Rebels llevan jugando juntos desde los tiempos anteriores al sistema de Crews de GTAIV. Estos veteranos se reúnen en las casi siempre hostiles calles de Los Santos, se ayudan los unos a los otros cuando lo necesitan y siguen unas encomiables normas de cortesía cuando tratan con sus compañeros de Crew. Así lo explica su líder, owenbremnertv.
"The Highland Rebels are a Crew that originates from GTAIV. The main people of the Crew are - David / Wicked1607 (Shrimpie1), Charlie (Barneyarmy5), Duke (Duke95011) and me, the leader of the Crew, Owen (Owen_Bremner).
Before we get into the details about the Crew here are some essential rules:
1: DON'T BE A DOUCHE (No killing teammates unless it was an accident, no killing on sight)
2: Be a good teammate (Help rob a store, help fight enemies, save from cops, etc.)
3: When playing with the Crew, make sure the Crew is set as active.
The Crew is a mix of RP and Non RP. Sometimes we do Role Playing sessions but it only happens when at least 3 of us are online. If RP is your thing we can include you. But if Free Roam is your cup of tea, then we do that too. We also do missions and activities.
While a mic is not necessary, unless it's an RP, it is a good thing to communicate with your fellow rebels with.
We are working on trailers for both the Crew and the Leaders.
So what are you waiting for? JOIN TODAY AND RECIEVE A FREE COOKIE!
(Warning: Cookie not included)."

You'll prospect for 2 weeks and grow with the club. We are an activity and experience (RP and leveling up) club for now looking to get into competitive TDMs. So we will take experienced shooters to help train as well.
If you think you have what it takes just click the 'Request Invite' tab on the Crew page. We will be checking everything, so your profiles MUST BE OPEN TO EVERYONE! Crews, Linked Accounts, Friends, etc... We only want the best loyal brothers we can get."

Por último, los vídeos de reclutamiento destacados de esta edición del tablón de anuncios nos llegan de la mano de las Crews The Unusual Fellas y TAKEOVER:
El líder dey_kill_killer quiere llevar un paso más allá el atractivo internacional y la poco convencional naturaleza de su Crew. Hace poco han superado los 200 miembros y todavía tienen sitio para muchos más.
"The Unusual Fellas is an action packed, shoot em' up, and take charge kind of Crew. We have members from all over the world. Everyone is Unusual in his or her kind of way. We race, play missions, and do anything we can to rank up and make money. We also encourage our members to share their ideas and created content to help make the Crew the best we can be. Also soon to come: Unusual Females. Hope everyone enjoys the music video."
Estos expertos jugadores, liderados por TH3xDARKxOUTLAW, se consideran los mejores de entre todos los mejores y no necesitan que nadie confirme que lo son.
"Join Takeover! Not just any Crew but an actual gaming clan. Everyone in this clan is like family. We like to have fun...and WE DO. We also get the job done when necessary. My Gamertag is linked with my social club account.
We are legit. We don't have open recruitment like some of the Crews above but if you want to join just let us know.
Si formas parte de una Crew que busca nuevos reclutas, deja un enlace en los comentarios de abajo para que todos puedan verlo (pero solo una vez; los que copien y peguen spam con el mismo mensaje de reclutamiento más de una vez en el canal de noticias no aparecerán destacados). También puedes darnos un toque en email@example.com y decirnos por qué tu Crew merece ser mencionada: por su originalidad, su talento, sus esfuerzos... Puede que publiquemos tu anuncio en un futuro tablón.
Esta también es la ocasión ideal para mostrar lo orgulloso que estás de tu Crew con fotos de grupo divertidas de Snapmatic, creaciones artísticas de la Crew o cualquier vídeo alucinante de una partida que sirva para mostrar a los demás por qué tu grupo es en el que hay que estar o al que hay que derrotar. Recuerda dejar un enlace a la página de tu Crew en el Social Club para que los que quieran responderte te puedan localizar con facilidad.

- 1 week, 4 days agoRampant Lions MC - New club starting out, looking to build a small but solid group of around 10-15 "Origianl" members, Active/Mature members. We are interested in giving it a good go at building a successful MC and are only interested in accepting likeminded members.
As stated we are a new club, so building our club will be priority number one, along with keeping our cash flowing in.
:- You must be able to at worst hold your own in gun fights, No point running with an MC if all your going to be doing is actually Running!
:- Age is not overly important, as long as you are a mature player, have respect for others including those you have just killed, Its still a game, Have fun :P
:- Must own a "Chopper" style motorcycle (Innovation, Daemon, Hexer.. Etc.) and be willing to wear our "Patch" be it prospect or full patch!
:- Have some interest in MC's in general and some knowlege after all we will turn whats new into our original crew, and we will be the ones to carry this forward!!!
So if interested in actually giving it a go, Doing some missions with some new players, and actually making a go of the MC at the same time, then feel free to drop in here...... "http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/crew/prospects_-_rlmc"
When joining the club, your account and linked accounts have to be visible to our president, And not being on Xbox 360 is going to be our deal breaker, as we are currently only on xbox 360 :)

- 2 weeks, 3 days agoEver drive around with your friends and some cxxt in a tank randomly blasts you? ever took you ages to get to the airport to get in a plane or chopper to go and meet your friend at the other side if the map only to be taken down by someone in a jet within seconds of your wheels lifting from the tarmac? or perhaps you've just walked out of your garage to be gunned down by a guy who has specifically waited outside for you to come out for no reason. these players my friends are what we like to call complete and utter CXXXS! and our crew was born with the aim to put these miserable party crashers down once and for all.
I started this crew after I was bullied out of a crew I was apart of. I would join a session with them just to be kicked and given abuse because I was filling the server up and they wanted there more prefered friend online (because he was a modder btw) after this my crew was born and here were all equal and noone is left out. our only enemy is those players that think there the s**t when in fact they just try to compensate for the fact that they have a tiny set of balls!
for a loyal and honest crew that will have your back in these situations request for an invite to join (The Anti Cxxxs)

- on September 1 2014, 4:41pmHello my name is Jaeger, leader of the Player Killers. As the name suggests, we kill other players, or "Pkers/Pking"... What this means, is that we like to gang up on other players in Public Lobbies. Such as going on a warpath, with the objective to push other people out. We also do many other things such as go off roading, sky diving/wing suiting, grind missions, hold car shows, dog fights, boxing, old western styled duels, and do bike rallies. If this sounds like something you're interested in, keep on reading.
Information on Crew-
Crew Name: Player Killers
Crew Logo: Punisher Skull
Crew Color: Black
Crew Members: 493
System: Xbox
Website: Not at the moment, we are using an App on Smart phones currently.
Requirements to join-
1) Must be 17 or older. This is primarily for maturity. Some exceptions are made due to other requirements or performance.
2) A working mic. Reason why i say working, is we do not want someone with a horrible staticy mic. Ruins communication.
3) Must have a 1.0 KD or more. Reason being, is this shows your interested in killing other players and can hold your own in a gun fight. Some exceptions can be made depending on your performance.
4) Must own at least ONE Sports Bike, NOT including the Thrust. We do alot of Bike Rides together these Bikes are our crew vehicle. You are allowed to drive your cars on your own time, or if we need to chase someone, but when were together parading around, ride a bike.
1) Golden Rule: Do not EVER, kill another crew member. You are allowed to defend yourself from one though. If you have a beef with another member, verbally challenge them (i.e. "Do you want to go do a 1v1"), then take it to a private lobby.
2)We do not allow "flaming" other players. If someone is going off on you, okay then, but try to keep it civil, if it gets outa hand, mute them.
3) ha, we dont have a third rule, were murders.
If you're interested in joining, hit us up at our SC:
- on September 1 2014, 8:37amTerror Corps: un movimento, un gruppo, una crew uniti dall'ideale di San Andreas libera, contro ogni soppressione, contro la "pressione" esercitata dalla polizia locale, dall'esercito ma soprattutto dalla Merrywether, un esercito privato pronto a prendere in possesso lo Stato per conto del dio denaro, che ci siamo promessi di combattere in sella alle nostre moto, anche al costo di scontrarci con altre Crew. Per fare ciò però, abbiamo bisogno di nuove persone all'interno della crew. STAY REBEL, STAY FREE: THIS IS ANARCHY
- on August 31 2014, 2:55amNEW PS3 CREW: WOODLAND WOLVERINES
I'll keep it simple. I'm building a small crew of no more than 50 ACTIVE members who wanna rank up and make money while doing some roleplay on the side. Do u not take the game so seriously? do u just wanna have fun? Then join the wolverines!!

Celtx 2.0 Media Pre-production Software: Pay-for Service
The new Celtx 2.0 is based on Mozilla technology, but the commercialization of its Celtx Studios might alienate some potential users.
Attention scriptwriters and storyboarders: media pre-production software Celtx is out in a new version 2.0 - but brings some non-free services. The Canadian company certainly made a major version change with the release, basing it fully on the XML User Interface Language (XUL) from Mozilla's Firefox 3.0. This support should better integrate the Celtx web services so that users can collaborate on their scripts, storyboards, character development and production notes over the Internet. The developers also took advantage of other Mozilla features.
The Celtx Studios services, for storage, sharing, archives and previews, is the non-free part of the deal. After a commercial beta that ends March 24, the services will have a $50 per year subscription fee - not so much a problem, but which might make it a bit less attractive for some authors.
The software provides a few enhancements and improvements available even to the non-paying public. The Firefox 3 base also brings along the TraceMonkey JavaScript engine resulting in faster load times for the graphical interface. Mozilla's Sunbird 0.8 serves as calendar and production scheduler. Users can also extend the software through add-ons using the Toolbox. Dictionaries are provided for the several language versions beside English.
The numerous bug fixes address, among other things, usability issues. Numerous language download sites are available.
Celtx positions itself as a soup-to-nuts solution for the entire media pre-production process - scripts, storyboards, character development, scheduling and production reports. It is used by independent filmmakers and at many universities and film schools worldwide.

Homemade tandoori chicken is fantastically easy to do, and we've loads of authentic tandoori chicken recipes so you can make this Indian favourite at home.
An Indian-inspired paste made from an assortment of spices is the secret to this spicy barbecued chicken recipe. No long marinating time is required; the chicken can marinate in the time it takes to get the charcoals hot.
Recipe by: DAKOTAGIRL
This is an adaptation of tandoori chicken using store-cupboard staples. Marinate the chicken overnight for a deliciously flavourful and tender chicken dish.
Recipe by: DIGGETYDOG
Tandoori chicken, a perfect dinner when served with salad and rice.....! The marinade is easy, using shop bought tandoori spice.
Recipe by: bigp
This is an authentic recipe for tandoori chicken. Serve with long grain basmati rice, cucumber salad, veggies, roasted sweetcorn and finish off the meal with Kulfi (Indian ice cream).
Recipe by: Simmi Gupta
Authentic and delicious tandoori chicken isn't hard to master -- this tandoori chicken recipe is simple and unbelievably tasty.
Recipe by: manju
These chicken skewers are always the belle of the barbecue. They are well-spiced, tender and truly delicious. Serve them as a starter, main course or side dish. They're also perfect with naan bread and raita.
Recipe by: honeyandspice
Tandoori chicken is a lovely Indian chicken recipe which is characterised by the red colouring of the marinade and the creamy yet tangy flavouring of the yogurt. Although I got this recipe from my mum, I would like to credit Madhur Jaffrey (TV cook) with some of these tips as I watched her make this on a show once. Tandoori chicken is best prepared the night before to give the marinade the fullest chance of flavouring the meat prior to cooking.
Recipe by: dee_gee
Moist, luscious and delicious. Just the right blend of spices make this tandoori chicken one of my most requested. Great hot or cold. If using thighs with skin, you can put over direct medium heat for the last few minutes to crisp skin.
Recipe by: Diana F
The next best thing to a takeaway kebab! A quick and easy marinade for the chicken makes these a dream.

A meditation on war.
And not for creed or common foe, but purely for the lark of death.
And what of the soldier who fights for no righteous cause?
And the gruesome fates that disfigure the faces of the living and dead alike.
How prudently the destructive urges of nature work within men.

A couple of rumors have made the rounds related to the Cleveland Cavaliers and Andrew Bynum. With Bynum put on leave from the team, paid to stay away from the rest of the roster, and having a 6 million dollar option in early January the Cavs have aggressively looked to move the big fella. Yesterday's juicy, and most likely untrue, aside, Bynum's time with the Cavs is clearly over, so lets look and compare these two possible trades.
Chicago Bulls
Cavaliers Receive: Luol Deng, Erik Murphy and a 2nd Round Pick
Bulls Receive: Andrew Bynum and Dion Waiters
For the Cavs: The trade gives the Cavs a strong small forward who has playoff experience, 3 point range and who fills the biggest need on the Cavs roster. The Cavs give up the Bynum contract but more importantly 6 man and 2nd year shooting guard with potential in Waiters.
For the Bulls: The Bulls give up Deng, limiting their hopes of signing him in the off-season. They move Jimmy Butler to the 3 to fill in for Deng. The Bulls gain extreme amounts of cap relief by simply cutting Bynum before the remaining $6 million is due. For the Bulls, Waiters is the key to the deal. Waiters gives the Bulls an aggressive SG to pair with Derrick Rose next year and to carry some of the scoring load this
Why The Cavs Should Make the Deal
For the Cavs this deal allows them to move on from Bynum while adding to the weakest area on the team. Deng's strength, shooting and experience is desperately missing from the Cavs current team. If there is a rift between Waiters and franchise player Kyrie Irving, this trade relieves that stress as well. Having Deng on the team gives the Cavs a better chance to resign him if other free agent options fall through this summer.
Why The Cavs Shouldn't Make the Deal
The Cavaliers would be giving up years of a cost efficient, high ceiling player in Waiters in exchange for free agent to be Deng. While this type of trade makes sense for a team fighting for a NBA Finals appearance, it makes less sense for one sitting at 10 – 20 and just trying to make the playoffs. This trade also would coddle Irving, if indeed a rift does exist, giving more power to the star of the team. This was less then successful when done in the past with Lebron James.
If FoS Had the Final Say: Pass. Bynum and a future First (Kings, Grizzlies or Heat) for Deng would be acceptable but giving up Waiters for a 1 year rental, with no guarantee of even a playoff birth is short sighted.

Ephesians 5:21-33
John Shearhart
July 11, 2010
I've decided that the Lord's Supper was an ancient, cultural tradition that really has no place in our modern world, so we're no longer going to observe it as a church. In fact, I don't even know why it has to be in my Bible.
I've decided the same thing about baptism. It's just some ancient Israelite thing.
In fact, there are lots of things about Scripture I either don't like or don't understand so I'm going to do away with those too.
[TEAR OUT SEVERAL PAGES—Exodus 20, Leviticus 18, Romans 14, etc.]
Oh, here's another one:
Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. 24But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything (Eph. 5:22-24).
Are these the living and active words of God or are they a cultural and outdated command from a patriarchal culture?
I think all of you would agree that "all Scripture is God-breathed" (II Tim. 3:16), so maybe we should study a little longer before ripping out this page.
To begin, let's review the book of Ephesians so far and then read the entire text for this morning's message.
The phrase "in Him" or "in Christ" has been used repeatedly. We've been chosen in Him (1:4), in Him we have redemption (1:7), in Him we have obtained an inheritance (1:11), we have been taught in Him (4:21).
We have been blessed with every spiritual blessing in Christ (1:3), we've been shown God's kindness in Christ (2:7), and we are His workmanship created for good works in Christ (2:10).
We are unified with Christ. We're also unified as a church:
Christ established peace by removing the barrier between Jewish and Gentile believers and made us into one body (2:15-16). There is one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one calling, one faith, one baptism, and one God (4:4-6).
We've been charged with preserving the unity that God has established (4:3) so that the body is fitted together and built up in love (4:16) as a "holy temple in the Lord" (2:20-22).
Therefore we're to walk appropriately as we imitate God (5:1) in righteousness (4:17), love (5:2), light (5:8), and wisdom (5:15). We're to be under the influence of the Holy Spirit as we build each other up and sing praise and give thanks to God (5:18-20).
and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ. 22Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. 24But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything. 25Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, 26so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. 28So husbands ought also to love

Remote Research
Real Users, Real Time, Real Research
by Nate Bolt & Tony Tulathimutte
The techniques in this book will make every designer's and user researcher's life much easier. Nate and Tony use the attitude and power of Web 2.0 technologies to create a new way of thinking about user experience research. They share their expertise clearly, concisely, and with a great sense of humor, giving practitioners step-by-step details to conduct remote research of virtually any complexity."—Mike Kuniavsky author, Observing the User Experience
Remote studies allow you to recruit subjects quickly, cheaply, and immediately, and give you the opportunity to observe users as they behave naturally in their own environment. In Remote Research, Nate Bolt and Tony Tulathimutte teach you how to design and conduct remote research studies, top to bottom, with little more than a phone and a laptop.
The book's benefits
- Learn how recent developments in Web products and services allow you to recruit, manage, and conduct user research projects 100% remotely
- Learn what you can uncover with remote research that you can't learn in a lab study
- Understand the differences between different types of remote research, and the strengths and limitations of each
- Understand the most important principles of native environment research for preserving authentic and valid user feedback in unpredictable out-of-lab settings
- Learn the pragmatics of designing a remote study, so you can do it yourself and impress the hell out of everybody

The ability to achieve global sustainability is strongly influenced by population growth;
Many natural systems are inherently variable. Such variability is easily confused with the impact of human activity on the environment. Distinguishing between inherent and man-made variability in natural systems and their capacity to respond to change is important subject for research;
For some environmental issues (for example, those involving the oceans and atmosphere), the planet must be regarded as a single complex system whose interests are best served by coordinated international action. Both developed and developing nations have a common interest in resolving global environmental issues;
Most actions to achieve environmentally sustainable economic development will take place at the national or local level, while at the same time taking into account the interdependence of nations. Individual countries will need to develop approaches to solving sustainability problems that are tailored to their own rate of economic development, cultures, religions, and political systems;
The achievement of environmentally sustainable economic development is dependent on adequate technical education at all levels and on education on how to balance economic, social, and environmental goals.

W+K Amsterdam and Kevin Durant Want to Know Who's 'The Next Baddest'
In a recent spot launching Nike's "KD Stratosphere Collection" for Foot Locker, Kevin Durant and W+K Amsterdam have a message for all the aspiring stars with big hoop dreams: bring it, son.
In this sequel to the older "baddest" spot from July, Durant strikes a note of solidarity with all the playground amateurs: he was there once, too. In fact, they might one day be lucky enough to challenge him (on his private rooftop court?) for the title of "The New Baddest."

Team decision theory for linear continuous-time systems
Bagchi, Arunabha and Basar, Tamar (1980) Team decision theory for linear continuous-time systems. IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 25 (6). pp. 1154-1161. ISSN 0018-9286
|This paper develops a team decision theory for linear-quadratic (LQ) continuous-time systems. First, a counterpart of the well-known result of Radner on quadratic static teams is obtained for two-member continuous-time LQ static team problems when the statistics of the random variables involved are not necessarily Gaussian. An iterative convergent scheme is developed, which in the limit yields the optimal team strategies. For the special case of Gaussian distributions, the team-optimal solution is affine in the information available to each DM, and for the further special case when the team cost function does not penalize the intermediate values of state, the optimal strategies can be obtained by solving a Liapunov type time-invariant matrix equation. This static theory is then extended to LQG continuous-time dynamic teams with sampled observations under the one-step-delay observation sharing pattern. The unique solution is again affine in the information available to each DM, and further, it features a certainty-equivalence property.
