Developing sustainable energy sources and protecting the environment require a diversity of expertise, from science and technology to public policy and economics. Princeton engineers contribute particular strengths in materials science, nanotechnology, combustion science, water resources and environmental sensing. Beyond these areas, however, the school fosters collaboration between many fields, including the humanities, natural sciences and social sciences. That is the aim of the new Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment as well as the Siebel Energy Grand Challenge. Other key elements of these efforts are the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Engineering Research Center on Mid-Infrared Technologies for Health and the Environment.
Energy and Environment Headlines
In the course, "Science, Society and Dinner," first-year students learn the basics of knife skills, sautéing and palate education; they learn about the water cycle, sustainable agriculture and the biochemistry of taste — and how they all fit together.
Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment partners with U.S. Army on sustainable energy and environmental issues and research
The Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment recently signed an agreement with the Picatinny Arsenal Garrison and the U.S. Army's Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center to promote collaboration on sustainable energy and environmental research.
New research indicates that the Chinese government could dramatically improve air quality with more attention to an overlooked source of outdoor pollution — residential cooking and heating.

On the low point between the ridges separating the chasm of the Kaweah River Valley on one side and the verdant belt of the Giant Forest's Sequoia on the other, sits Panther Gap at 8,500' on the Westside of the Sierra. Roughly half-way between the verdant Wolverton trailhead and the beginning of the High Sierra marked by nearby Alta Peak, Panther Gap rests on a subalpine crossroads bounded both by deep valleys below and majestic, snow-covered granite peaks above and across it. Originally, it was my intention to climb 11,300' Alta Peak, however heavy snow conditions and poor weather prompted me to abandon that climb, and settle for Panther Gap and its nearby forests; making for nonetheless an extraordinary day in one of the nation's first protected area. A dense, quiet forest, snow-covered high peaks, and the calming peace of nature is sure to entrance anyone found of the experience only a day in the Sierra can offer.
Stats (To Panther Gap):
Category: Moderate
Miles: 6
Elevation Gain: 1300'
Location: Sequoia National Park
The Hike: Once you enter onto the "Lakes Trail" at the Wolverton Trailhead, climb up the trail as it ascends into the dark forest of the upper reaches of the mid-zone Sierra forests. Soon, you will be greeted by the sights and sounds of small brooks and streas fed by the snowmelt of the peak high above. After the trail takes an obvious turn to the south, you will continue until you hit a trail divide 1.5 miles from the trailhead. As the Lakes Trail splits off towards Pear Lake and the Tablelands, your path remains steadfast on the route towards Alta Peak. In early season, typically late April through early June, substantial snow crossing will appear around 8500', though some snow spots may persist lower.
The 2016 Winter in the Southern Sierra was below average, yet in mid-May large sections of the mid-trail, and the complete upper trail was snow covered up to 3' deep. This snow is passable at certain times of the day with care, but be sure to be off it before it refreezes in the evenings. This section includes the transition zone into the subalpine realm, with white fir morphing into the Sierra red fir, and the sugar pines giving way to lodgepoles. After 3 miles, you will find yourself on Panther Gap, where it can be a bit windy. I continued up another 1000' towards Alta Peak before heavier snow conditions, and adverse weather turned me back. Nonetheless, I will be back to claim Alta Peak later this summer. Enjoy your afternoon in God's blissful mountains, and return the way you came.

Sacha Baron Cohen brings special 'Dictator' screening to Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS, NV - I drove four-and-a-half hours today to see a 75 minute movie.
I regret nothing.
The 11:00 PM screening of "The Dictator" started late, but the capacity audience seemed happy about it when Sacha Baron Cohen arrived in character as General Aladeen, the dictator of the small country of Wadiya, flanked by two armed guards and some preposterously hot bodyguards.
Evidently, Cohen made a similar appearance at the Caesars Palace Colliseum during the Paramount presentation earlier in the evening. I wasn't there to see that, and I'm leaving Vegas again fairly early tomorrow morning. I've got a lot to do this week in Los Angeles, and I figure we'll see much of this material soon anyway. But the chance to see the first finished screening of the latest collaboration between director Larry Charles and Cohen as a new outrageous, larger-than-life character seemed to justify a quick overnight trip.

Days 67 to 69 - Camp for All at Suncadia
Cle Elum, Washington was never in our original plans. We were going to spend the last few days on the road camping on the coast of Oregon. But somewhere along the way we realized we didn't have enough time to do Oregon justice and in all honesty, we were tired. So we looked for a new destination, preferably one with a spa, and Suncadia Resort won. …

I will never forget the Seventh-Day Adventist Youth Camp that opened their doors and provided for us food, showers, and laundry. Its the random acts of kindness that really stand out, even amongst us hikers along the trail, how we watch out for each other. Anyhow, its getting late. I must sleep now.

To top it off, the rains came and we got peak hour traffic so covering 100miles took more than 3 hours. We also had to go to Wal-Mart to stock the vehicle with food for the trip and dinner tonight. So, we pulled off the highway as we were tired at about 6pm in a place called Lake Easton at an RV resort. The people running the place were fantastic and we relaxed straight away.

Need Help Navigating the Oracle Certification Program?
By evachase-Oracle on Apr 27, 2016
Your Guide to Oracle Certification
Now that the new Oracle Database 11g Certified Master
Upgrade Exam (one-day practicum)
has been released, Oracle University is focusing on the development of
the more thorough two-day full OCM exam.
On December 7, 2009, Oracle Certification released the [one-day] upgrade exam, which provides a path for those already certified as OCM on Oracle9i or Oracle Database 10g to upgrade their certification to Oracle Database 11g Certified Master.
Candidates upgrading their OCM certification to 11g via this 1-day upgrade exam do not need to first upgrade their OCP certification. You will instead be granted the 11g OCP certification along with the 11g OCM certification once you have passed the necessary OCM upgrade exam (and any additional required exams), and completed the Course Submission Form.
Release of the full OCM exam is expected during mid-2010. For more information on the new upgrade exam, visit the Oracle Database 11g OCM Upgrade Exam announcement page.
Although we set the bar high in our evaluation of candidates for Oracle Certification, we also hope to enable you with the tools necessary to earn our various certifications. And as many of you know, our "Oracle Certified Master" (OCM) certification is far from being an 'easy' certification to attain. In our recent chat with Oracle Certified Master Frédéric Beaubois, we learn some good helpful insights that he shares about how he went about earning this challenging certification.
As always - we welcome your feedback and hope that you find this and similar content to be personally valuable!

Few sites with trees and concrete pads. They all seem to be taken by long-term folks. Had to park in 'new' area which is gravel and has no shade. No WIFI while we were here. Weeds starting to get an upper hand on the staff: especially the goat-heads. (A unique sticker/weed that punctures bicycle tires, and when you get one in your foot or hand, itches like mad for a long time afterwards.) In any case, toilets, laundry room were clean. Staff was Very friendly and helpful. Has propane for sale during week, none on weekends. - skypilot

Military only Family Camping aka Famcamp. Enter at Eubanks gate for easy access to the Famcamp. Many long term campers but still plenty of room for first come, first serve.
Several sites need trimming of low branches for easier access. Part of Famcamp is treeless for those who prefer that. Some pull thrus require driving over a curb to exit, something we chose not to do. Very helpful office staff.
Famcamp is in serious need of landscape maintenance. Trimming lower branches will allow trees to gain height for pleasant shade instead of bush like height. Recent stay at Air Force Academy Famcamp was exemplary in comparison. - SemperParatus

Very basic military park. Pretty much an open area, but sites are marked off. Stayed in the "new" side, no openings in old side much better shade. Overall good. Entered through Wyoming gate , but it is closed on weekends so note that. ( hassle to turn around and leave thru other gate). Lots of stickers and not too good of areas for dog walking, but normal for the area. - 7 on the road

We stayed at El Rancho RV & Mobile Home Park for 4 nights while we were in Albuquerque visiting friends & family. NOTE--the entrance is on Zuni.
We had a nice site with water, sewer & 30 amp power & we did not have a problem getting our 27' trailer backed in. The park itself was quiet, clean & the residents were cordial. Wyoming is a main street that had a lot of traffic on Friday & Saturday nights but was otherwise fine.
We found the location to be very convenient for restaurants, the downtown RailRunner station & a nearby dog park that was really nice. We felt that we received good value and convenience & will return to El Rancho on our next visit to Albuquerque. - dawnbmoore

We picked this park due to its location close to town and the mountains. The neighborhood isn't the best; we knew that going in, but were disappointed when the manager suggested that we not walk our dogs in the neighborhood. He reassured us that the park was safe with one entrance/exit that is monitored. As a prior military guy who lives on site with his wife and family, I believed him. We felt very safe, and after investigating moving, we decided that the dogs could sacrifice their usual long morning walks since this place was so convenient and the price was reasonable. The manager was super nice. He asked us to call when we were close so that he could greet us and guide us right to our spot. He gave us recommendations for restaurants, laundry and sights based on our interest. He gave us a business card so that we could call him if we needed advice. The park was very quiet and other residents were friendly. We walked our dogs around the park in the mornings and several residents came out to say hi...to our dogs and one even gave them treats. Note: the address is Wyoming, but the entrance is on Zuni! There are no laundry, bathrooms or showers on site. I would recommend this place and if ever back in ABQ would stay here again. - MichelleKry

This park is located just outside Kirtland Air Force Base. Looks like it is not in the best part of town, but that may be misleading. The owner of the park is just great. He will greet you as you enter the park and stand by your window, guiding you very effortlessly into your site. There are mostly permanent residents and you will find a mixture of older and newer RV's. We did not find the sites to be as cramped as another reviewer stated but they are not spacious either. Entirely adequate for a short term visit. We are keeping this park as one of our preferred "spots" in our AZ-OH travels. - KPsunshine

Reserved a deluxe site with no trees. When we were escorted to our site it was set between two tall trees. Site was so out of level that it was impossible to get the coach level - even with cribbing. When we requested another site we were told there were no other sites available and we could have a full refund and they would try to find us a spot at another campground. They kept telling us we were in the most popular site. They did send someone to help us get the coach level. When we couldn't, he started looking for another site in the park and finally they relocated us to what is supposed to be the least popular site. It was a end site, completely level with full hook-ups, a swing, a fire pit and a BBQ. The park is well maintained and they pick up your trash all day. All the internal roads are paved and easy to get around. The biggest con is the wi-fi service - totally useless. - Rd yacht

Nice for downtown Albuquerque, but it was a little too noisy for us. We stayed for one night. The sites were close, but we were able to get in OK. It was nice that it was close to everything. The road was paved. We did not unhook to travel downtown since it was a short stay. They had full amenities and full hookups. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The grounds were kept up and clean. - lougreene67

This RV park is centrally located. There is a section of permanent mobile homes surrounding the office. The RV section is 50% occupied by long term residents, some have been there for years. Management does not enforce their rules. My neighbor had an old car with visible damage and no license plate in their space. Some people allow their dogs to run around without a leash. Pull thru sites are positioned head-to-toe with little space between your neighbor. Wi-fi gets overloaded due to number of users. Rate is based on monthly rate and there was an additional charge to use a credit card. Train noise is noticeable but is 3 blocks away. There is more noise from people driving by with loud exhausts and music. - jnateg

Rate I gave based on monthly rate of $495 which includes electric. There are more long term residents than travelers coming and going but we don't see that as a problem, not a lot of visiting between residents. We have lived in Albuquerque many years before becoming full timers and return here for 1 to 2 months at a time staying in this park. While traveling we select a different type of park, this is a basic urban park. Park is approximately 5 - 10 minutes from Osuna exit off I-25. Not sure why people have a problem with the office and manager, I never have. I find him easy to get along with. We've never needed reservations unless it's balloon fiesta and then rates and availability are much different. It is all gravel w/ cement pad but pretty level. Noise is minimal, some distant train noise occasionally. I've used the pools, indoor and out, a number of times with grandkids and always been happy with them. Centrally located if your seeing the sites. - abqnm

Our site was clean and level. Park was quiet after I reported loud music. It was taken care of promptly.
In the month of June and the only pool open is indoor, warm and had 2 cockroacches floating on top. Outdoor pool not open until July due to inspection problems is what I was told. I'd much rather be swimming outdoors.

We arrived during balloon festival, pricey but worth it. We were 1 mile as crow flies from balloon festival. We were able to get a site with 1 day notice! This is a mobile home park, which made for spacious lots, and family activities. Great club house, nice pool table, pool, volleyball, play ground, and basketball court. We had full access to all the park had to offer. WiFi was purchase so we opted out of that. Could see balloons and fireworks from site. 9 miles from Old town but all highway. If staying here during festival be prepared for high delays on highway and arguing with cops about needing to go onto Pan American Highway when balloon festival is trying to park. You get a traffic permit but still have to argue with cops. Only way into park is through their detours. Awake at 6:00 AM because of helicopters above balloon festival. I would stay again, staff very helpful and friendly. - Cynthia Gowin

This is actually a mobile home village with some empty spaces used for RVs. The spaces are all pea gravel and fairly level. We needed a place to park while we attended a function at a nearby hotel and this park fulfilled that need. However, the large speed bumps every block were bone jarring, even at our lowest speed and re-arranged contents severely. Each space was equipped with water, electricity and sewer but the water was buried under pea gravel and required the use of needle-nose pliers to remove gravel from the water pipe to let us "plug in" the water key provided at check in. Each space had a glass curb side light globe but ours and our friends were broken and the incandescent bulb at our friends had its filaments exposed presenting a possible shock hazard. The showers at the club house don't open until 8:00am. No receipt was provided automatically and we forgot to ask for one. Be sure to arrive before 5:00pm since the office closes then and there is no provision for a late check in such as a bulletin board with space information. - Mark & Dawn

This a mobile home community with some sites available to RVs. LONG (apx 1 hr) check-in procedure w/14-page legal-size 30 day lease, over 30 would require credit report so we did 30 & then "renewed" for second 30 & the for additional 11 days. Utilities not configured for RV, water & sewer poorly located, natural gas connection in way of back-in (we parked on concrete patio instead of on dirt beside it). Water hydrant in hole in ground (would have been under RV). 3" sewer pipe non-standard for RV connection (would have been behind RV). Large round hole where electric used to be underground would have been under RV. Sloped 2ft or more to rear. Lots of red ants. Mail via USPS, but took nearly 3 weeks to get mail box key. Most rules are commonly broken: 1 pet limit, barking dogs, dogs running loose, firecrackers, 2 car limit but up to 7 cars at some sites. Free WIFI available only in clubhouse. Observed police action in park 3 times plus private security 2 times during 10 week stay. On checkout were told est 4-6 weeks to get remaining portion of deposit back after final electric reading. In midst of all their RV-unfriendly "stuff," they had a very supportive staff. - AFChap

We have been here about 2 1/2 months and are leaving now, but we enjoyed our stay here very much and will surely return if we are in the area. Spacious lots with pristine hookups and excellent condition concrete patio at each and every space. The water pressure was great, internet mostly worked; however, there are times that it does not due to weather issues I would say. This facility has an indoor and an outdoor pool, exercise room, laundry room, showers. I mean, what more could you need? Our pets were readily accepted. We leave Albuquerque with fond memories and were grateful for our time here at this campground. Thank you! - hap

Very nice park, we stayed in the newer section and it is worth the extra money. The sites are large with cement pads and nice rock between the sites. The driveways are wide and the utilities where well placed. They include a continental breakfast which was a nice touch. The only down side is there is a lot of freeway noise and that may bother some people. Would stay here again. - sjones

The $150 a night rate gets you a spot in the temporary "Presidential" campground with water, 30 amp electric, and a few visits from the honey wagon depending on how long you stay. The site is on a bluff overlooking the entire 55-football-field-large launching area for 500+ hot air balloons during the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta, but you will be a few rows back from the front rank as sponsors and VIPs get the first row. Don't miss the early-morning flight preparations with balloons lit up by their propane burners as they prepare for flight. Suggest watching one mass launch from the restricted-access bluff (bring folding chairs), then going down on the field the next day to mingle with the crowd of spectators and balloonists as the craft are prepared for launch. Amazingly, some balloons are able to use winds in different directions at different heights to return to the launch site after a few hours in the air. There are mid-week contests best seen from on the field as balloonists try to throw weighted bags at targets, etc. Weather permitting, hundreds of balloons launch around 7 a.m. each morning, with the biggest mass ascensions on weekends and Wednesday of Fiesta Week. If the Balloon Fiesta is on your Bucket List, staying at the Presidential Campground is the way to see it. Other cites near the Fiesta are all dry camping. - Mtmoi

The staff was helpful and pleasant. The NEW owner even stopped by visit the first evening. He said that he is working hard to remodel and asked what we felt he should work on next.
I would certainly stay here again. It is near some shopping and things to see.
The best thing about this park is that it is QUIET. A couple of dogs were around us, but they did not misbehaved or become troublesome.
The first visual impression as you drive in could be better. The site was spacious. All the hookups worked and our personal internet and DirecTV reception were good.
The dog walk area needs improvement. - LMF

This park is very poorly maintained with many permanent residents living there. The pull thru sites are not level and my coach strained to get level. Stepping outside your coach you will encounter a field of thorns which will stick to your shoes until you return to your coach where they will transfer to your carpet. I made the mistake of passing through during balloon week, hence the outrageous $48.00 charge. Next time I will drive another hour and skip this place altogether. - Beaver 43

This is a no-reservation park. If they have space, you're in. All spaces are pull-through. Roads and spaces are all gravel, and it gets dusty with traffic. Park is improving sites; some are being improved with landscaping. They have a store which is limited. Each site has covered picnic table and BBQ. We did not use bathroom or showers, and don't know about laundry. There is no onsite pool, and resort pool may be available; we don't know. We were there for the casino. They have a shuttle to take campers to the casino. Shuttle has a schedule but can be easily called. Casino is great. They have many newer video slots. Food is good. The experience was great. The park is next to the rail transit. We used the train to visit another casino on the North side of Albuquerque - Sandia. We would visit again. - Scot671
May 2016 - $33.00
Very strict at check-in and time consuming. WiFi terrible. Dusty and many weeds and stickers. South side has more room and easy pull-throughs. Fishing was not good and other than the casino there are few places to go. We would recommend overnight but better choices in Albuquerque. - Jimmy Swager

The other reviews are pretty accurate except the train noise is very close and annoying. However they don't run in the middle of the night. The sights and roads are dirt and gravel. Very dusty normally and it rained when we were there so we had mud. Other than that nice park and facility. - fulltime.petes

Park is nothing to write home about. We took the "Auxiliary" spot right next to the bathrooms/showers. We had to pay extra for our small dogs (2) even though we are diligent to pick up after them, while others apparently aren't. There's a small clubhouse with TV and pool table. It looked like most RVers were permanent residents. But, it provided a place to hook up for the night. - DesignoSLK

Only problem with this stay was that it was in the Winter. After several snows, the roads and sites are a bit muddy. Excellent service from management though. Wouldn't mind staying here when there isn't 8 inches of snow in the forecast. WiFi typical of RV Parks, where everyone starts streaming and it becomes non-existent. Had good coverage with AT&T though. - Legends Of America
Aug 2014 - $15.00
The roads leading to the campsites are in dire need of repaving and showed severe sign of long term erosion. Consequently, the roads are bumpy and very dusty. Maintenance around the campsites is lacking as grass needed mowing. Be sure to have a long water hose as ours barely reached the water hook-up. WiFi connection is excellent. We will not camp here again. - gartail

We have stayed at this park many times and continue to return due to value and friendly and helpful staff. The spaces are large enough for all sizes of RVs and fairly level. Roads are paved and sites are gravel. There are three large dog pens for dogs to run and do their "business". The four private restrooms with showers are a nice touch. There are restrooms with showers in the recreational area. It is on the west end of town away from the big city but easy to enter into Albuquerque. There is a large recreational room with TV and two billiard tables plus tables to play games. If you are looking for a pool or other amenities this is not the place for you. There is not a lot of shade so in the summer make sure your air conditioner is in good working order (this is the desert) There is a new truck stop close by to fuel-up etc. - RobbyC

Well located on the west side of Albuquerque, this park is great for a few days. We had a long, level pull thru and all utilities worked well. The staff was friendly and helpful. Camping World is just across the freeway, if you need supplies. Some freeway noise, but certainly not objectionable. - ronboett

Very nice park, easy in/out off I-40, only spent one night and it was great, had some road noise but for our needs it was perfect and the price is right! - Uncle Billy

Greg Carey, is the Professor of New Testament at Lancaster Theological Seminary, Lancaster, Pa. His most recent book, Sinners: Jesus and His Earliest Followers, pursues the role of transgression in early Christian identity.

Jesus Doesn't Extend the Boundaries. He Refuses to Recognize Them.
There is so much arguing over boundaries. Should we welcome refugees from Syria, a nation torn by civil war and terrorism? How should our society respond to others who have immigrated here without government approval? Although immigration from our southern border has declined over the past decade, some public leaders applaud the contributions of undocumented Americans while others spell out the risks they bring. Do we consider immigrants likely contributors or potential criminals? When activists proclaim "Black Lives Matter," the counter-point "All Lives Matter" looks like an attempt to hush a legitimate complaint about policing and criminal justice. I catch myself needing some of those noise-canceling headphones.
Help End Hunger. It's Simple.
Even on a local scale, problems like poverty and hunger can overwhelm our imaginations. My own city of Lancaster, Pa., is like countless others. Pockets of true poverty cluster in the old city and dot the countryside. Affluent developments surround the city, while hip new housing is popping up in the center of the city. An impressive urban revitalization campaign has transformed the city's image, making downtown an attractive place to eat, shop, and play.
Recently, however, a study by Franklin and Marshall College has shown that Lancaster's resurgence has not helped its poorest residents. Just the opposite has occurred. Between 2000 and 2013, per capita income has grown by 20 percent in the city's center while it has declined in every other section. What looks like progress from the outside contradicts the harsh reality that thousands experience.
It's a typical scenario, in which outcomes such as life expectancy and high school completion rates vary dramatically, even in adjacent zip codes and school districts. Faced with such stubborn realities, many individuals feel at a loss concerning how to make a difference.
On Scripture: The Value of Chump Change
Is poverty what it used to be? Or has poverty grown so shameful that we dare not speak its name? So determined are we keep poverty out of view, we erase the presence of the poor from Jesus' teachings. The widow we encounter in Mark 12:38-44 provides a case study in poverty and oppression. Unable to confront poverty, we have turned her into something safer – an example of generosity.
The election has just passed. As I'm writing this, I don't know who will win. I do know this: neither presidential candidate could work up the courage to address poverty as a serious issue, at least not directly. If Democrats typically look out for the poor, you wouldn't know it from President Obama; Mitt Romney mentioned the poor more often than did the president, if only to remind voters that the economy is struggling. For his part, Obama avoided the "p-word," even if he discussed policies that could remedy the poverty problem. Some of our political leaders do include the poor in their policy work, but they face an uphill struggle.

We are Just Music, an independently-spirited label and home to some of the very best artists in cutting edge electronica, acoustic, ambient and down tempo.
"Just Music… one of the best labels for memorable new ambient and electronica music"
The CMU
Just Music was founded in 2001 by former China Records (Morcheeba, Art of Noise, Levellers) MD John Benedict and his partner, Serena. It is a fiercely independent music label in partnership with its Artists offering the very best in cutting-edge electronica, acoustic, ambient, down-tempo laid back grooves and chill. Our ethos is making great music with integrity.
We are passionate about our artists and the exceptional quality of the music we release and we choose to only work with artists in whose artistic and musical ability and moral integrity we believe in one hundred percent. As a result we have a wonderful and inspiring team of musicians around us.
Some of the artists we work with are classically trained and are able to draw on that understanding and early discipline to add new depths to their music, others draw on their background in the electronica and dance community and others still from their all encompassing roots level musical lifestyle.
We release each artist's work on CD album in beautiful and innovative packaging made from recycled material and paper from sustainable managed forests. Each sleeve features an original artwork created either by the artists themselves or specifically commissioned for the album in perfect synchronicity with the music itself.
Autumn 2004 saw the first of the sell out Absolute Zero label club nights at London clubs where we present nights of cool electronica, electro-folk and all round beautiful sounds from Just Music artists along with guest DJ's and VJ's.
The fundamental belief that music and the talent that creates it – like art and literature – are one of the great miracles of life and that all music of artistic merit should be afforded an equal opportunity to enrich our lives.
In the real world of the music business, music that is supported by the independent labels struggles to make it's voice heard as we do not have the enormous marketing resources available to the major labels with their resulting ever increasing presence both at radio and at retail.
Just Music was created to be a vehicle to marry idealism – the music and the imagery – with realism — the harsh judgemental and ever changing marketplace, and to do this with commercial integrity and without artistic compromise.
Thank you for taking the time to visit the website. Our current catalogue of released albums is illustrated by the Just Music Album Sampler available through the webshop. You can help us to promote our artists by buying their music and by recommending it to all your friends.
The debut album has been remastered and reissued for the first time on vinyl for its 15 year Anniversary in a special edition 2 LP gatefold with liner notes.
"Ghost Stations contains a mere four tracks, yet allows itself plenty of time to make its point." – Clash Music
The ninth studio album by Marconi Union, out 12th August 2016.
Ambient Zone 2 will be shown at this years' Burning Mountain Festival as part of their new 'Cinema of Surrealities.'
Sam Thomas has written an original score for Anna Morrissey's production of The Taming Of The Shew as performed by The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.
Jon Hopkins will be playing a live DJ set at The Lexington, London on 8th May as part of a tribute concert to friend and fellow musician Vince Sipprell who died January 2015.

Critic Reviews for Fright Night
All Critics (34) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (31) | Rotten (3) | DVD (5)
Fright Night dances on a tightwire between satire and terror, glittered by special effects and a with-it nonchalance.
Chris Sarandon is terrific as the vampire, quite affable and debonair until his fingernails start to grow and his eyes get that glow.
It shouldn't even begin to work, and yet, strangely, it does, sort of, thanks to the assured handling of writer/director Holland.
Its tone is never exactly comedic and its horrific touches are more disgusting than scary.
Fright Night is not a distinguished movie, but it has a lot of fun being undistinguished.
The picture firmly belongs to Roddy McDowall, an absolute delight as a TV horror-show host who's unwillingly dragged into the whole frightful affair.
Audience Reviews for Fright Night
I watched this after I saw the remake and went backwards, so I feel I must compare the two at least a little bit. Chris Sarandon plays a very charming Jerry that is quite different from the remake and I like both versions for their perspective films. Charley and his life are barely even touched upon in this version, they did a much better job of fleshing out his personal life and getting you invested in the character in the remake. This version is more of a B-movie creature feature where they spend more time devoted to transformations and trying to gross you out with the special effects (some of the shots last far too long). It is still fairly entertaining, but I like the script and plot of the remake more. I found it to be lacking in both areas.
Super Reviewer
Funnier and more amusingly disgusting than actually scary, this decent little vampire horror movie combines fright and humor in a really efficient way, making for a very enjoyable time despite - or maybe also because of - its outdated makeup and looks from the 1980s.

Announcing the NEW Lifeboat Hour Podcast
Today, March 28, 2016, I am launching the first episode of the New Lifeboat Hour podcast.
Carolyn Baker is a true revolutionary and fore-runner for the emerging zeitgeist of what I have come to call, the Perennialist Movement….a trust built on the foundations of indigenous wisdom and spiritual heritage. She is providing a safe place to have dangerous conversations about uncertain futures, and is our best hope for the societal schizophrenia that is truly the gravest danger to our humanity.

The Gifts of Grief: Grief as Sacred Work
A Workshop with Carolyn Baker, PhD in Chico, California: October 7 – 9, 2016.
Are you feeling overwhelmed by a personal loss? Are you feeling anxious about the uncertainties of our global crises? These experiences need not result in despair or helplessness. We may even resist grieving due to fears of getting stuck in our emotional pain. We might resign ourselves to "time heals all wounds". Many people do. Limited to 25 people.

I used to think the top environmental problems facing the world were global warming, environmental degradation and eco-system collapse, and that we scientists could fix those problems with enough science. But I was wrong. The real problem is not those three items, but greed, selfishness and apathy. And for that we need a spiritual and cultural transformation. And we scientists don't know how to do that.

Political Poison And Collective Trauma, By Michael Meade
Amidst the speed of changes occurring in both nature and culture it takes very little to tear the skin of civilization and reveal massive and festering emotional wounds full of fear, rage, resentment and vengeance. We are not just in the midst of an unusual election or a surprising political period. We are not simply in the middle of the hottest summer on record. We are in an extended period of the radical churning of the world in which all the toxicities and poisons that are usually held back appear on the stage of life at the same time.read more

We have become Death, destroyer of worlds. We are driven by our insane—and insatiable because impossible—quest for validation of our self-perceived superiority. We are driven to destroy all that is alive and free and beautiful and wondrous and meaningful and is not made by or dependent upon us, not under our control.read more

The Mind Parasites Of Colin Wilson: Fiction Or Reality, By Paul Levy
In a very real sense, these mind parasites "cure" us of our wrong attitude towards both the world as well as ourselves. Instead of a typical virus mutating so as to become resistant to our attempts to heal it, the wetiko virus forces us to mutate relative to it. It is as though the evil of wetiko is itself the instrument of a higher intelligence. This higher power, through the revelation and understanding of wetiko, connects us to a sacred, creative source within ourselves that makes "the hydrogen bomb seem a mere candle." In Dispelling Wetiko I write, "The wetiko bug is the greatest catalytic force of evolution ever known—as well as not known—to humanity."read more
Freedom From Hope And Activating Our Love For The World, By Deb Ozarko
The reality is that we're long past the feel-good "change your lightbulbs, bring your own bags, shorter showers, ride your bike and recycle" mindset. Most people can't even bring themselves to do these simple actions anyways. We're long past the point of a spontaneous awakening. If everyone on the planet chose to go vegan, live off-grid, grow their own food, and never buy a single plastic item again, it still wouldn't be enough (but that doesn't mean we shouldn't still choose to live this way). The runaway momentum from our destructive behaviour is well underway. In most cases, the damage is irreversible. The lag time between our past and our present actions, and the subsequent repercussions of these actions will likely play out for several millennia to come. There's no escaping the consequences of our willful ignorance, and contrary to our conditioned arrogance, we are not invincible, infallible or immortal. Let's get real here, we've screwed the planet and ourselves. Surely I'm not the only one who gets tread more
Jennifer Hynes: Responding To Abrupt Climate Change Holistically
How Did Things Get To Be This Way? By Richard Reese
Meanwhile, mainstream society has invented a comical joyride in magical thinking — if we simply call something 'sustainable' enough times, then it is! In the blink of the eye, forest mining becomes Sustainable Forestry™ and soil mining becomes Sustainable Agriculture™. In a barrage of oxymorons, business as usual is kept on life support, by any means necessary, for as long as possible. What should we do about this? How can we revive the original meaning of sustainability?read more
Globalization And The American Dream, by Helena Norberg-Hodge and Steven Gorelick
Implicit in all the rhetoric promoting globalization is the premise that the rest of the world can and should be brought up to the standard of living of the West, and America in particular.

Let Them Drown: The Violence Of Othering A Warming World, By Naomi Klein
The most important lesson to take from all this is that there is no way to confront the climate crisis as a technocratic problem, in isolation. It must be seen in the context of austerity and privatisation, of colonialism and militarism, and of the various systems of othering needed to sustain them all. The connections and intersections between them are glaring, and yet so often resistance to them is highly compartmentalised. The anti-austerity people rarely talk about climate change, the climate change people rarely talk about war or occupation. We rarely make the connection between the guns that take black lives on the streets of US cities and in police custody and the much larger forces that annihilate so many black lives on arid land and in precarious boats around the world.read more

Product Description
"With formidable imagination and ingenuity, Christopher Priest turns the novel into an Escher tessellation in which figure and ground are interchangeable. Bringing home to the power of narrative to steal reality, affirming nothing, it abandons us mid sentence, posed between page and world, discomfited and hyper-aware." -- Sam Thompson TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
About the Author
Christopher Priest's novels have built him an inimitable dual reputation as a contemporary novelist and a leading figure in modern SF and fantasy. His novel THE PRESTIGE is unique in winning both a major literary prize (the JAMES TAIT BLACK AWARD) and a major genre prize (THE WORLD FANTASY AWARD); THE SEPARATION won both the ARTHUR C. CLARKE and the BRITISH SCIENCE FICTION AWARDs. He was selected for the original Best of Young British Novelists in 1983. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

A 29-year-old man named Peter Sinclair is tormented by the death of his father, an unhappy relationship with a woman named Gracia and the loss of his job in London. Offered an opportunity to fix up the dilapidated country house of a friend of his late father's, he jumps at the chance. Whilst performing this job he becomes obsessed with the idea of writing his autobiography and defining his life through words. But, anxious to protect the identities of real people, he changes their names, then the names of the places they live, then the very nature of the world they exist in.
But that may be a lie.
A 31-year-old man named Peter Sinclair is living in the city of Jethra, part of the great nation of Faiandland. Unexpectedly, he wins the Lotterie-Collago. The prize is a course of treatment given on the distant southern island of Collago, which grants the recipient immortality but only at the price of total amnesia. On his way through the islands he meets and falls in love with a woman named Seri, but is occasionally haunted by thoughts of a manuscript he wrote two years ago, the story of his life with some of the names and places changed.
That may also be a lie.
The Affirmation utterly defies any attempt to summarise it. It is a twisting and at times bewildering novel that moves between at least three different levels of reality, and each of those is open to multiple interpretations. Peter is really a native of a different, although similar, world and our planet and everything on it is a figment of his imagination. Peter is really a Londoner suffering a total mental collapse in the wake of personal tragedy. He is suffering from amnesia, or schizophrenia, or an acute solipsist, or all three. The manuscripts are real, or only exist in his head. The manuscript he is writing is the actual novel itself, forming a Mobius strip of narrative and causality that loops back in on itself: when you reach the end of the novel, which literally finishes in mid-sentence, you can go back to the start and re-read it as its own sequel, with greater understanding.
Priest does his usual thing here of using a clean, easily readable prose style which lures the reader into a false sense of security until the story's second level of interpretation and reality kicks in, leaving the reader confused as to what is happening. And just when you adjust for that, something else happens that hints at a grander but stranger truth yet. The Affirmation is a puzzle, but not necessarily a puzzle with a single solution, which makes it a fiendishly addictive read.
The Affirmation (*****) is one of the most original and mind-blowing books I have read, somehow even eclipsing The Separation in what it asks from the reader and the possible answers it gives out. The novel is available in the UK from Gollancz and in the USA from Pocket Books. The latter is out of print, but Amazon.com still has some copies available.
At the start of The Affirmation, Peter Sinclair has lost everything. His father has just passed away. He's out of a job and an apartment. He's reeling from a relationship that ended badly. By any definition, Peter has hit rock-bottom. His emotional state of mind is a wasteland. Rightfully so, Peter decides he needs a change of scenery to heal and to pick up the pieces. He volunteers to help fix up a friend's cottage in the country.
The solitude that Peter finds in this remote ramshackle abode moves him to start thinking about his life, but he finds that recalling the details and emotional truths is tricky business. So, he decides to write out his autobiography as the best way to regain his balance, his sense of self. He's journaling. He's exorcising the demons. But this therapeutic venture soon morphs into a major writing project; it's no longer a simple memoir of sorts. And then, suddenly, it's no longer nonfiction.
Peter starts mixing fact and fiction, writing a fictional autobiography that conveys his personal history in a less than documentarian fashion, aiming instead for the more noble goal of reaching and attaining a "higher truth" about himself.
In this alternate world, Peter creates an alter ego that bears his identity and name but everything else in and about this world is different—including the people and setting. The people have different names and they live in an imaginary world dominated by the Archipelago, a chain of different islands and island groupings.
In the imaginary world, Peter has just won the lottery of a lifetime: he will undergo a medical procedure that will essentially give him immortality. The only catch, he discovers, is that he will lose all his memories. The price for perpetual life: the utter effacement of his current life.
Half-way through the book, as we travel with Peter from island to island, as he makes his way to the clinic by boat, it seems obvious that we're reading some part of the manuscript that Peter from the real world has been writing all along—the one he has been working on in the country cottage. But Priest throws us for a loop. Eventually we discover that the Peter in the so-called imaginary world has also been writing his autobiography, a manuscript he's been carrying around in a satchel on his travels.
The rest of the novel dances between these two shifting realities and we're left squirming, trying to parse out which reality is really the truth—and which is the "higher truth." What's intentionally complicating is that Priest gives us both men from a first-person point of view, so there really isn't any way for us to objectively determine which is the real world and which is the imagined one. We could be dealing with just a single unreliable narrator—or both. Sure, the real world is full of names and places that are familiar to us; that's a favorable clue. But other than that, either world could have the real Peter. Either world could be the one written down in the fictionalized autobiography.
By the last quarter of the book, the real-world Peter becomes more and more suspect and untrustworthy. For one, we begin to doubt the soundness of his state of mind. Priest starts highlighting crack after crack of Peter's account as it is called into question by the people around him, particularly his ex-girlfriend.
* SPOILER AHEAD: We discover that the manuscript that real Peter has been supposedly working on is completely non-existent. His ex-girlfriend, Gracia, calls him out on it, pointing out the stack of blank pages. Peter sees his story there—the typed words, the markups in ink and pencil. To him, it's all real, but to others—at least to his ex—there's nothing there. We can believe Gracia, but she also has her own history of mental instability. Priest doesn't make it easy for the reader to draw a clean conclusion. *
There are some other standout clues. * SPOILER AHEAD: If we recall, earlier in the cottage scene, Peter's writing reverie is interrupted by his sister's unexpected visit. In that agonizing moment, Peter recalls how he was stopped mid-sentence. He desperately tried to return to that moment but could never quite find the right words to finish… Peter eventually gives up trying to find closure to that moment, content that he'd never capture it. At the end of the novel, Peter from the imaginary world escapes the islands and seeks to return to the real world. He discovers his own autobiography that he's been writing and he becomes convinced that the world in those pages is the real world. *
As the two worlds collide, both Peters become blurred. And then Christopher Priest pulls off a brilliant meta-trick and stops the book in the middle of a sentence—our experience mimicking Peter's interrupted experience in the cottage.
Some readers have called The Affirmation an ouroboros of a novel, and I couldn't agree more. There are elements in both the 'realities' that start to blur into each other, just like the snake devouring its own tail.
What's doubly stunning and refreshing about The Affirmation is that Priest manages to tell a fantastical story with such plainspoken writing. Reading this book feels almost like hypnosis, or being lulled and then shocked awake. It made me think of wandering down a perfectly normal and pedestrian street and then having that street change into something sinister and magical with something as mundane as the passing of some clouds over the sun. Shadows deepening, dark corners revealing themselves. The only other contemporary writers I know who do this with the same panache are Haruki Murakami and Paul Auster. It's amazing how much depth and complexity an author can pack in such basic, tonally flat prose. It's not a prose style I prefer, but I respect and admire it when used to this kind of effect. Priest brings the house down without having to shout or strain. You have to marvel at that.
Naturally, memory and the remembering of the past figures deeply in this book. But for me, The Affirmation is really about how we remake ourselves and define and redefine ourselves through stories. Without stories, without our memories and personal histories constructed as stories, without the retelling, there is no reality—no "higher truth." For those who like their science fiction deceptively quiet and unassuming, there is no one like Christopher Priest.
"This much I know for sure: My name is Peter Sinclair." the opening line of "The Affirmation".
"The Affirmation" (1981) is a thoughtful and engaging story that seduces the reader into a world more engaging than the one we currently inhabit.
On a lark Peter Sinclair purchased a lottery ticket. He took pity on the seller, a handicapped veteran of the current forever war, so he gave him some business. Against astronomical odds Sinclair won the grand prize: a qualified immortality. After the treatments he would not age or grow senile but would still be subject to death by misadventures. Peter must leave his home in London and travel with a female guide to a distant island in "The Dream Archipelago" to receive the treatments.
Peter's life in London was a strangely convoluted series of discordant events: writing a biography in an emotional stupor, a troubled liaison with a suicidal young women and a conflicted sibling relationship. He gladly escaped with his guide and his manuscript.
During the interminable sea voyage Peter muse on whether he wants to "live forever", should he return to his lady friend and the extent and diversity of the Dream Archipelago.
To say more would be unkind to potential readers. I was fascinated by this story and am very pleased that Mr. Priest has another novel in the Dream Archipelago. On these cold dreary winter days there is no other place I would want to be, perhaps.
It is into this land of figments, the so-called Dream Archipelago, where Peter Sinclair, a tormented writer, escapes. His imaginary alternate, travels amongst the isles, encountering re-conceived versions of people from his own life. He travels towards an uncertain "jackpot," the erasure of his own memory… As can be predicted, which world is real, and which is a fantasy comes as no surprise. But the way in which Priest reaches this reveal, indicates the novel's genius—SF tropes can be crafted to push a premise into even more unnerving waters.
If you are interested at all in serious mind-bending explorations of imaginary worlds and the act of writing, read The Affirmation (1981). But, Priest's tormented protagonist will not appeal to all….
I will leave it at that.

I've always believed that a mother deserves the party on her child's birthday. This year I got exactly what I wanted. Per my daughters request, I booked one of Opossum Creek's small cabins to have her overnight party. It was the perfect size for myself and five girls. I didn't have to clean my house and this simple and quaint cabin was warm and well equipped for all of our needs.
The girls giggled on the porch hot tubbing and I sipped on a glass of red wine while making gourmet pizzas in the kitchen. (The stainless steel cookware was a much appreciated bonus). After dinner we sat on the floor in front of the gas fireplace and played charades. In that peaceful place in the woods I laughed with the pre-teens without worrying about annoying anyone but the squirrels nesting in the surrounding trees. I called it quits to go read in my bedroom, they pulled out the sleeper sofa and a mattress from their bedroom so they could pile up in the living room. Then they proceeded to do what girls do best...giggle, tumble on the mattress, and text. We weren't far from civilization but you could never tell in that little nook of the woods; (although we did like the wifi).
This place was magical. Exactly what we needed to enjoy each other and leave the stress of daily chores behind. I really loved the custom-made wood shelves and tables. They added to the woodsy but very clean feel and made very efficient use of every space.
In the morning, after pancakes and more hot-tubbing, I read a couple of entries from the guest book; stories of proposals, anniversary dates, and a lot of adventures in the New River Gorge. I set the book down and the girls said, "No, read more." Then we added our own entry and headed home, another day/year older, and very satisfied.

If you are looking for low cost shelter this is the place for you.
Other than price, little to recommend this motel. Rooms are beaten hard, bathrooms are run down and beds are old.
Like ambiance with your stay? Yard has broken down lawn furniture, no phone in the rooms, and the air conditioner blew fumes all night that smelled like a fermenting tub of unknown origin. Don't turn on the heat with A/C unit, it set off the fire alarm in the room.
In hindsight, I would recommend sleeping in the car.
