Here's one for everyone. If you have spent any time digging through dusty records I'm sure you've seen this guy's name at some point. Most of the time it's attached to crap and that has unfortunately led this album to become supremely neglected. As far as I can recall (not going to look it up though) this was a solo affair where Yamash'ta plays a mountain of percussive and electronic instruments. That might not sound like your slice of pie, but I'll tell ya this one works for many moods. It's honestly that good. Not sure what genre obsessives class this as. Maybe it's new age (don't be scared) or psych or world music. I really don't care. Neither should you.

Th'Inbred-A Family Affair
Believe me. I lived in West By God Virginia long enough to see plenty of inbreeders. It might sound like I'm perpetuating a stereotype here but tell me how many time you see 600 lbs plus people? How many of those fatties have flipper arms and/or other missing limbs? I think you're starting to see the people I would see. I'll tell you this, it's a pretty state but the people are far from it. There was a reason I barely slept with anyone from that state. You think this picture might be an exaggeration and you'd probably feel correct, however this house (with the same satellite dish) litter the beautiful landscape. And even with all those uggos giving off their face pollution I still get nostalgic at times. So here's some of the best punk that state offered. Can't say they were really knowing for that genre, but this is still a good 'un. I think I some of these guys are still around Morgantown but I never really cared even though this is a good album. Oh well.
We Got a Fuzzbox and We're Gonna Use it-Bostin' Steve Austin
Oh me, oh my...how did this lovely end up in the overly neglected dollar bin? Maybe this isn't your cuppa, but I'll cop to my fetish for 80s ladies. Why did they just seem so much more fun? When did girls just become so dour? Just look at the photo and tell me when you see girls like this anymore. You don't. The again, if you read this blog it's unlikely that you see any girls aside from your mom and porn. At the risk of sounding like a misogynist, there's tons of girl bands out there now that really wish they could be this good, but, unfortunately they are shit. To this day, I wonder what ever became of these ladies. It's my debilitating laziness that prevents me from typing in the band into google and actually find out. Some things are better kept as memories.
Foreign Press-Downpour 12" & Climbing 7"
Back to back double posts? Yes, something is a bit off with me. I suppose my recent generosity can all be blamed on a young lass who is attempting to make me a better person. And why do I roll over and become the little lamb that I now am? Perhaps it's all because I'm a grey haired fool and meeting a girl weird enough to put up with my shit (she collects unicorns and old nintendo games) makes me willing to get my heart broken again. So here's one more two fer for yez. This is another one to file in that category of bands everyone now is trying to sound like but just can't (because they are all shite). These guys gained some popularity later and even have a New Order connection, but theses are the two to listen to. Now let's see if I'll be able to give up smoking and my intense road rage.
Violent Students-S/T & Street Banger E.P.
You might think that from the band name that these are field recordings I made of my students, but it honestly isn't. Yet, there is definitely a sense of chaos and the threat of physical harm when you listen to these albums that definitely reminds me of walking the halls of my school. The only difference really is when this shit is bashing your head in there's not a circle of twenty kids surrounding you and filming it all on their cell phones. There's a Clockcleaner connection here and I think the lady from Blues Control plays on the E.P. (might be, and probably am, wrong about that) so there's some names for ya. Brainbombs, Butthole Surfers, Drunks with Guns, really trashed 80s weird punk all seem to be the primary influences for this lot. But then again it might as well be 40 cases of Hamm's and a few ball punches instead. It's kinda newish (keep in my mind anything music wise that was recorded post mid-90s seems new to me) but that should scare off fellow old creepers.
Toiling Midgets-Sea of Unrest
I have a bit of an unhealthy obsession with the late Ricky Williams so it's natural that this album will always receive ten gold stars when I hand out the grades. If you dug the previous posted (and now deleted (thanks mediafire)) Sleepers album I see no reason why this isn't something that you're not gonna pounce on. I think maybe these guys lost some cool points for lasting more than an album or for some other stupid reason (as stupids are apt to do) but not in my book. I'll still shout to whoever might listen that this is one American band that everyone should know but probably never will. Pity how people will always choose the chaff before the wheat, but what do you really expect.

Tax Free
People seemed to dig the Outsiders post from some weeks back. In its description I mentioned this solo joint Wally Tax made at some point and I figured some people who aren't yet hip to it might want to give it a listen. And listen you should. Definitely not as freaked as the Outsiders' work, but nevertheless an album of high quality. Being back in Chicago for the week, I've been going through my record collection trying to figure out how much shit I want to pull out of storage and haul all the way back to KC. This was one of the first to go in the take away crates. Now that I have my vintage stereo set up this will be one of the first records to be given a spin. And as I mentioned before John Cale was involved with this record. That might be enough for some of yous to nab this.

Zippo Zetterlink-In the Poor Sun
Hard to find Krautrock gem that laid hidden under the
detritus for far too long. Typically,
archeological digs of this sort turn up petrified shit, yet those fossil feces
always seem to get a reissue and a buncha hype.
I cannot even list how many "lost classics" are just garbage that
settled on the bottom and should have been left there. Just because it's old
doesn't mean it's good. It just means
that it's better than the crap that currently exists. When looking at that "long lost" ratio it's
obviously that you're looking at something akin to a batting average of a
hitter with two broken wrists. Good
think this album is actually worth the effort.
Zooed out heavy vibes that seem to seep out of a dank Hamburg
cellar. Naturlich, this was self-released
Zal Yanovsky-Alive and Well in Argentina
I do truly love the Lovin' Spoonful, but I'll admit that hearing
that fucking "Welcome Back Kotter" theme song really makes me never want to
listen to John Sebastian again. But I
never really thought he was what the Spoonful was about anyways because the
band was full of so much talent. Here's
just one example of someone branching out from the group but not really getting
the credit he deserves. It's a musically
diverse affair to which Yanovsky brings his typically great guitar playing and
oddball sense of whimsy and humor. For
some reason this also seems kind of hard for me to locate when searching for
copies. What gives? I thought this would be clogging the dollar
bins with all the other Spoonful stuff.
And unless you're a dummy you've already bought all of those. Add this to the collection as well. And mail me copies of a sealed original.
forest fluting,

lovin' spoonful
X-Live at the Civic '79
Years ago before this blog was long in the tooth, I asked an
old buddy if there was anything he thought I should post. Seeing as I had no clue about what the kids
are into (still don't care really), I thought it might be useful to talk to
someone, unlike me, who talks to other things besides his cat. And this was one of his suggestions. I'm guessing that the rise of that current
crop of Aussie bands makes this a seminal document (I'm only starting to
discover all these newish bands that are actually worth listening to and feel
stupid for having ignored them for so long).
The Saints, the Birthday Party, Lubricated Goat, the Scientists, Radio
Birdman, etc. probably all get a bit more press than these fellas but they are
just as essential. Good call Ryan.
Wolfie-Awful Mess Mystery
Might catch some shit for this one, but I could give a
fig. I loved this when it came out and I
still stand by it. Sure it's cutesy and
the vocals can be cloying but it is a fun summer record that's the perfect
length (probably less than half an hour).
I have this dreadful feeling that this summer will be unbearably hot
(anything about 75 is too hot for me) so I figure I might as well roll out the
summer tunes before it starts to really blaze.
I hate to be so superficial and give bonus points for cute band members
and all, but I seem to recall their keyboard player/co-singer as being quite a
doll. Shit, I'm shallow. Anyways, this is for the people in the mood
for good pop. And there ain't nutthin'
wrong with that.
Larry Wallis-Polic Car b/w On Parole 7"
One of the all-time coolest, hands down. Shagrat, Pink Fairies, Blodwyn Pig, UFO,
Motorhead—all names you should know and love.
Later period work with the Redbyrds and solo are equally as vital, so
don't let some idiot tell you otherwise.
Just about anything this guy's guitar has graced is worth owning. Psych, punk, metal and everything in between all
fall under this guy's purview. One of
the most important guitarists in the last fifty years. You should know this man. If not, time to wise up boyo.
guitar god,
pink fairies,
proto punk,
Thug-Electric Woolly Mammoth
I see thugs every day.
Like my students who get "misunderstood" tattooed on their forearm. Or "laugh now, cry later" on their
biceps. And you have to love the ubiquitous
angel tattoo on the neck (with someone's birth/death dates, of course). These are my students. I don't judge. I have tattoos too. But I know some of these kids live the real
thug life. Hell, I've even had a few
offer to beat people up for me or get me some stolen goods. This isn't that type of thug, although there
is a certain sense of brutality to some of their sounds. It's another Australian gem. Everything I've read about this band (which
is not all that much) seems to mention the same three bands as points of
comparison. Let's just say that seem
extra Lay Zee. And I should know since
I'm quite a lazy sod these days. If you
want to know who those three bands are I suppose you can let your fingers do
the walking and find out on your own. I think
it's better even yet to just give it a listen.
And I don't really think any of those comparisons are that accurate
anyways. People, how many things
actually sound like Captain Beefheart?
Old bands reuniting are always a dicey endeavor. I'm sure that nearly everyone has been burned
by the dream reunion of that band you were a little too young to see at the
time and have fetishized to the point that you even considered getting a tattoo
of their logo somewhere on your person.
Then you see the show. You see
how they look like a bunch of balding dads.
You rejoice that you didn't get that tattoo while simultaneously
wondering if your favorite group had been replaced by team pinch hitting from
the geriatrics ward. This happens far
too often as bands never seem to learn that reunions are undoubtedly a risky
move that often fails to deliver. Unless
you're talking about delivering some grimaces, which, in that case, some of
these bands are hauling a truckload. So
what does this all say about this reunion disc.
Can it possibly live up to the accolades bestowed upon their landmark
Marquee Moon? Can it capture all their
intensity of those early bootlegs?
No. No to both. But that doesn't mean that this album, which
too often gets sneered at, doesn't have its attractive qualities. It might be a bit sere and academic at
times. I'll grant the complainers that
much, but when considering how badly this could have gone we should just be
thankful that we have one more Television album to add to their slim catalog.
Sugar-Copper Blue
I might catch a punch in the face for saying that I like
this more than any Husker Du album. But
I dare ya. Not to punch me in the face,
but to listen to this objectively as possible and see how this is a far
superior album than anything H.D. ever did.
Sure, you're missing the smack addled romanticism of Grant, or Greg's
mustachioed weirdness. Just pure Bob
here. It's that consistencies that makes
this all worthwhile. Believe me, I was
super skeptical when this came out. I
wasn't all that thrilled with some of Mould's solo outings prior to this, so I
was a bit baffled by how quickly this album endeared itself to my heart. Maybe it came out at a certain time a place
where I needed to hear an album like this.
I can't explain it. I'm sure
plenty of sourpusses will curl up their noses at how this band actually
achieved some level of success (remember when you used to see videos off this
album?). Fuck those people.
Link Removed (apparently this 20 yr old album is a huge unit shifter and I was bankrupting a company with this post)

Free-radical copolymerization of styrene and m-isopropenyl-α,α′-dimethylbenzyl isocyanate studied by 1H NMR kinetic experiments
Barner, Leonie, Barner-Kowollik, Christopher, & Davis, Thomas P. (2002) Free-radical copolymerization of styrene and m-isopropenyl-α,α′-dimethylbenzyl isocyanate studied by 1H NMR kinetic experiments. Journal of Polymer Science: Part A: Polymer Chemistry, 40(8), pp. 1064-1074.
The free-radical copolymerization of m-isopropenyl-α,α′-dimethylbenzyl isocyanate (TMI) and styrene was studied with 1H NMR kinetic experiments at 70 °C. Monomer conversion vs time data were used to determine the ratio kp × kt−0.5 for various comonomer mixture compositions (where kp is the propagation rate coefficient and kt is the termination rate coefficient). The ratio kp × kt−0.5 varied from 25.9 × 10−3 L0.5 mol−0.5 s−0.5 for pure styrene to 2.03 × 10−3 L0.5 mol−0.5 s−0.5 for 73 mol % TMI, indicating a significant decrease in the rate of polymerization with increasing TMI content in the reaction mixture. Traces of the individual monomer conversion versus time were used to map out the comonomer mixture composition drift up to overall monomer conversions of 35%. Within this conversion range, a slight but significant depletion of styrene in the monomer feed was observed. This depletion became more pronounced at higher levels of TMI in the initial comonomer mixture.

Imagine that in a world full of color, you could only experience life in black and white.
Think of all the parts of your daily routine that would instantly become harder. Everything from clothes shopping to sorting your laundry into lights and darks would be challenging. For Jace and Jimmy Papenhausen, this upsetting fantasy was a harsh reality. The brothers spent their entire lives dealing with colorblindness.
In an attempt to improve their sons' quality of life, the boys' parents purchased a pair of glasses from EnChroma, a company that specializes in creating devices for those suffering from colorblindness. This technology gives people the opportunity to experience the world in its best light.
Watch as Jace and Jimmy try on the glasses for the first time!
With the help of EnChroma, these brothers have a brand new world to explore.

Mears Group took a swipe at its ailing rival, Connaught, yesterday as it announced record first-half profits and unprecedented demand for its services.
The social housing and home care provider was forced to reassure investors in June after Connaught warned that public spending cuts had hit its business.
But Mears' finance director, Andrew Smith, said Connaught's woes were of its own creation and that Mears was hoping to take advantage of the problems to win more business.
He made his comments as Rok, another rival, said first-half profit halved after warning last week that accounting problems would hurt earnings.
"There has been a lot of commentary around more than one of our competitors but as more news comes out they appear to be company-specific issues," Mr Smith said.
"If a client is looking to provide services through a single provider then financial stability becomes more important."
Pre-tax profit rose 42 per cent to £9.3m in the first half. The interim dividend rose 19 per cent to 1.9p a share.
Mears maintains hundreds of thousands of homes owned by housing associations and local councils.
Mr Smith said 80 per cent of revenues were for maintenance governed by tenancy agreements or safety rules and could not be cut. The other 20 per cent was from capital spending already in place.
The company said tight public finances drove record contract wins as local authorities outsourced work to cut costs. Connaught said its relationships with customers had not been affected by recent events. Rok said it also hoped to take business from Connaught.

Are you looking for a Art internship in Arizona? Art internships are the best way to bridge the gap between going to school and landing great job. Internships can help provide valuable work experience by learning the ropes from more experienced professionals. At the end of your internship, you'll have relevant experience to help you decide if starting your career in the field of your internship is the right choice for you. It also helps that 7 out of 10 internships result in a full time job offer, which means interning in Arizona can also serve as the foundation to landing a full time job in that city after graduation.
Art summer internships in Arizona are pretty common, but don't expect to be in charge at the end of your internship! Usually, you'll have to work from the bottom up, but interns are much more likely to get a job offer from the employer they're interning with. If you decide to intern at a smaller company, you'll sacrifice the name prestige for other benefits, such as having an opportunity to see your projects go from start to finish. Simply gaining Art experience is essential in order to provide value and creativity to the team.

Shortlisted for the ECPA Christian Book of the Year award, Resurrection Year is a hope-filled story about starting again after a dream has died—an emotive, poetic, and at times humorous discovery of the healing qualities of beauty, play, friendship, and love.
About the Book
Expectation. Expectation. Expectation. Disappointment. After ten years of tear-soaked prayers and repeatedly dashed hopes, Sheridan Voysey and his wife come to a heart-breaking conclusion—their dream of having a child is over. Empty and confused from a decade of disappointment, they leave their jobs, pack their bags, and embark on a journey in search of restoration.
Voysey chronicles their return to life. From the streets of Rome to the Basilicas of Paris, from the Alps of Switzerland to their new home in Oxford, they begin the healing process while wrestling with their doubts about God's goodness. One part spiritual memoir and one part love story, Resurrection Year is an honest, heart-felt book about recovering from broken dreams and reconciling with a God who is sometimes silent but never absent.
Praise for Resurrection Year
Some dreams come true, but others die a painful death. We can learn from both. In Resurrection Year, Sheridan Voysey writes from experience–there is life after the death of a dream. Your dream may be different, but the road to resurrection will be similar. I highly recommend it. Gary Chapman, author of The Five Love Languages |
This is a gentle, beautiful, deeply touching story of one couple who faced heartbreak but then asked God, "What next?" The result is a journey proving that, with God, our darkest experiences really can lead to new beginnings. Resurrection Year is a gift that will breathe life and hope into many who have faced a broken dream. Darlene Zschech |
Gentleness, refreshment and vulnerability are the delightful components of this wonderful book. Sheridan uses words and the gaps between words as an artist uses colour and space to show rather than tell. We do not need to learn anything from Resurrection Year in order to enjoy it, but that is unlikely to happen. I am confident that it will change our hearts. Adrian Plass |
This story of a crushed dream, a fresh overture, a reversal of roles, and a potent lesson on the emptiness of fame seems sometimes akin to a travelogue. Sheridan's account compels us all to ask crucial questions about our visions and disappointments, our doubts and our prayers, our goals, purposes, and hopes. It is a profound read! Marva J. Dawn, author of Joy in Our Weakness |
This is not only a book for those with broken dreams. It calls all true followers of Jesus to empathise with those whose dreams are shattered and whose hopes are in limbo. It sounds remarkably like a conversation with Jesus. Rev Dr. John Smith, writer, preacher, founder of God's Squad |
Part autobiography, part prayer, and part apologetic, Resurrection Year is a tender and heart-warming book. Sheridan takes us on an intriguing journey through the perplexing maze of life, faith, loss, and hope. I really loved this book. Deb Hirsch, author of Redeeming Sex; Tribe of LA |
About the Author
Sheridan Voysey is a writer, speaker, and broadcaster on faith and spirituality. His other books include Resilient: Your Invitation to a Jesus-Shaped Life and the award-winning Unseen Footprints: Encountering the Divine Along the Journey of Life. He has been featured in numerous TV and radio programs, including Day of Discovery and 100 Huntley Street, is a regular contributor to faith programs on BBC Radio 2, and speaks at conferences and events around the world.
More Praise for Resurrection Year
This is a powerful and moving love story of one couple discovering how to love each other and God when their dreams are lost. The honesty and poetry of this memoir make it a compelling read, and will help many to find hope in dark times. Krish Kandiah, President of London School of Theology; Director, Home for Good |
Sheridan's writing is clean and edgy, sprinkled with the poetry of a heart that hears beyond the superficial to plumb the depths of grace. 'Our world got so tiny,' he says, 'our vision got so small—confined to the walls of our problems.' What a powerful thought, and one which has the capacity to lift our vision beyond the walls of our circumstances. Bev Murrill, Christian Growth International; Cherish Uganda |
Resurrection Year is a beautifully written, honest and engaging book that takes you on an emotional roller coaster through the reality of broken dreams and the wrestling that ensues. I will be buying copies for my friends who are living with dreams that haven't become reality. Andy Frost, Share Jesus International |
Resurrection Year reminds us all of a profound truth: in order for resurrection to happen, something has to die. This is a wonderful, honest, moving book for all who are struggling with loss and waiting in the darkness: there is hope, there is a dawn to come, there is resurrection. Nick Page, author of Kingdom of Fools and The Wrong Messiah |
I love Sheridan Voysey's honesty as he addresses the hard questions of faith. He lets us in on his pain to see how God works to stretch and grow him and his wife—and us. Sheridan offers no pat answers in Resurrection Year. His life illustrates the way God strengthens us in the struggle as we hold on to God even with our questions unanswered. Ruth Graham, author of In Every Pew Sits a Broken Heart |
Through shades of vulnerability and pain, Resurrection Year offers new colours of optimism in this real-life story about hope and possibilities. Joel Edwards, International Director, Micah Challenge |

Some Questions Answered
Where is the book available?
In all Christian and most mainstream bookshops, plus all online retailers like Amazon and Barnes and Noble. It is available in ebook form also and so in Kindle and Apple stores too.
Was it difficult to write?
Oh my goodness… Writing Resurrection Year required Merryn and me to relive some very painful experiences and dashed hopes. Merryn would come home at times to find me in a very dark place indeed. (Much of that heartache is revealed in chapter 1 – a chapter few who've read the book can read without tears.)
But in another sense, there was a joy in writing this book that I've rarely experienced before. The book's structure came fairly quickly and very little of the draft material was edited out. The words, paragraphs and metaphors flowed. The craft of writing is always difficult, but I felt a grace in writing this book that was unique.
As I've previously mentioned, this was not the book I was expecting to write but more and more feels like the book I was meant to write. It is proving helpful for those who have experienced their own broken dream, whether it be unwanted singleness, infertility, the loss of a loved one or the loss of a career.
My and Merryn's prayer is that God will use Resurrection Year to catalyse a new beginning for others who need one.

The Construction Industry
No. of dwellings under construction and begun during the year
The economic recession ! The greatest number of insolvencies in 2009 was in construction. 257 construction companies went bankrupt that year, about 6000 employees lost their jobs (about ½ of all jobs lost in 2009) and turnover fell by about 44%.
The housing market No. of unsold new dwellings has decreased from about 2.000 at end of 2008 to currently being about 1.300 units as demand is gradually increasing this year – in particular from first time buyers. Prices have probably reached the bottom but fell from about 300.000 ISK (1.820 €) /m2 to about 210.000 ISK (1.220 €)/ m2 – or by about 1/3. Under normal circumstances the demand for new dwellings is somewhat below 2.000 units.
Power- and Industrial plants take 3-6 years in construction and create direct employment for up to 1.000 people. The largest power plant in Iceland has installed capacity of 690 MW and a production capacity of 4.500 GWh/y.
Kárahnjúkar Dam is the largest earth fill gravity dam in Europe 198 m high, 700 m long and 8,5 million m3 in volume
Tunnels for water diversion at Kárahnjúkar are mostly TBM – tunnels about 40 km in length and most of them are about 7 ½ m in diameter
Export of construction services Following the outset of the crises in Oct. 2008 construction sector sought contracts abroad. Already in 2009 the export of construction services amounted to 2.330 m.ISK (14.4 m€) The export of construction services still increased in 2010 International tenders show that the Icelandic construction firms are fully compatible.
Tax incentives In order to stimulate the local construction an maintenance industry and combat unreported activities (black economy) the government in 2009 decided to repay to house owners all VAT (with an upper ISK limit) on house maintenance and construction work. In 2009 12.670 requests for repayment of VAT were received for maintenance amounting to 7.958 m.ISK (50 m€) and 2.135 requests for new construction work amounting to 3.509 m.ISK (22 m€) Because of the upper limit on the refundable amount this has primarily benefitted private house owners and smaller contractors.
R&D must continue in spite of the recession : Example: Center of Excellence in Cement Based Materials Concrete is the dominating building material in Iceland. It´s quality and durability in the harsh environment of the high latitude is of major importance for all real estate investments. The Innovation Center Iceland is advancing to be an outstanding research facility, mastering state of the art knowledge within the science of rheology of cement based particle suspensions, including cement paste, grouts, mortars, repair materials and concrete. The aim is to manage up to date know-how in special concrete areas, such as high performance concrete (HPC), underwater concrete (UWC) and fiber reinforced concrete (FRC). Special emphasis is on mainstream technology like self-compacting concrete (SCC). Another aim is to design concrete with a minimum use of cement without loosing any desired properties such as strength or workability. This is a part of the eco-design approach.
New emphasis on sustainable development and eco-buildings Buildings consume a lot of heat. The average citizen of Reykjavik uses about 410.000 liters of hot water annually. => Need to improve the energy performance by integration of renewable energy technologies. The future design must be environmentally responsible and resource- efficient throughout a building's life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and demolition. This practice expands and complements the classical building design concerns of economy, utility, durability, and comfort. The Institute of Natural History was designed according to these principles and is accredited according to the British BREEAM accreditation system. http://inhabitat.com/stunning-icelandic-institute-is-an-ice-frosted-eco- citadel/ http://inhabitat.com/stunning-icelandic-institute-is-an-ice-frosted-eco- citadel/
Maritime Industries
Maritime industries: general status 1/3 The Icelandic maritime industries have primarily served the fishing fleet – and other vessels up to 40 m in length. The number of shipyards has gradually decreased to 8. 40 companies were classified in 2010 as having their main activity from repairing and maintaining ships and boats. The shipyards, shipbuilding and steel workshops have over the years suffered greatly from foreign competition, in particular from those that enjoys state aids. The shipyards employ about 340 people and their annual turnover is about 25 m €. The industry is in general greatly affected by the availability in fishing quotas, fluctuation in the exchange rate of the currency and cost of borrowed capital.
Maritime industries: general status 2/3 The industry suffered a serious decline during the period 1987-1994. Then the reduction in turnover (sales volume) of the ship builders and service providers (incl. repairs) was about 60% and number of employees went from 900-1000 to less than 400. For many years the steel work for the hull and superstructure-shell was contracted to foreign shipyards. Equipment installation and other electro- mechanical work was undertaken in Iceland to the extent possible. In recent years all the steel construction work has more or less moved abroad – except for the installation of hi-tech mechanical and electronic equipment manufactured in Iceland. Building of steel ships is basically a thing of the past. Fiberglass boat construction started in the early 80s - building high speed fishing boats that cruse up to 23 nautical miles/hr. – specially designed for the hardship of the open seas of the high latitude North-Atlantic.
Maritime industries: general status 3/3 Most fiberglass boats are 5-15 m. long and up to 30 gross tonnage. Fiber boats are high-tech boats equipped with the best available fishing-, navigation- and safety equipment. There are tree major fiberglass boat manufacturers in Iceland, in total with 100-150 employees, including subcontractors. Most new fishing boats in Iceland are high speed fiber boats. About 80-90% of the production is exported, mostly to other North Atlantic fishing communities, such as to Norway, Scotland and France but also to S- America and Asia. The leading manufactures TREFJAR Ltd. has made over 400 boats during the last 30 years. It produces 12-30 boats/year (depending on size) that cost from 1/2 – 1 m. € each
The role of the workshops Many of the companies belonging to the maritime industry are small workshops that have a great variety of clients. They may be independent producers or provide parts to other equipment producers and some serve the power-intensive industries as sub-contractors. It is estimated that these companies employ more than four thousand tradesmen and skilled workers.
Yards and steel-workshops without equipment producers and service providers
The mechanical industry In spite of the general decline of the traditional ship building industry another spin-of sector has been growing - the mechanical industry – which is the aggregate of enterprises engaged in the design, manufacture and marketing of steel-, mechanical- and electronic apparatuses for industrial usage, e.g. for ships. Several of the companies within this sector are internationality competitive and a few are leaders in it´s field. MAREL Ltd is the leading Icelandic company. It started as a University research project in the late 80s but has since grown to a leading global provider of advanced equipment and systems for the food processing industry – with operations in more than 30 countries. HAMPIDJAN Ltd, founded 1934, has evolved to become one of the largest Fishing Gear and Super Ropes Manufacturer of the world, having 14 entities in 4 continents with over 600 employees. --------------------------------- *) Aggregate of enterprises is engaged in the design, manufacture and marketing of mechanical apparatuses for commercial or industrial usage.
Marel: No. of employees 2006-2010
Marel: Annual turnover m €
The mechanical industry MARORKA Ltd. is another university spin-off and a leader in cutting-edge environmental solutions for the shipping industry. In a few years MARORKA has become a leading provider of energy management solutions on the international market. It's products and services enable vessel operators to optimize fuel consumption by maximizing the energy efficiency of their vessel or fleet. The results are minimized harmful emissions and reduced costs. The North Atlantic ocean is MARORKA's home market. In addition to its headquarters in Reykjavik, Iceland, the company has agents and partners in Norway, Finland, Canada, USA, Greece, Germany, Korea and Dubai. The DNG computerized jigging reel since 1985 is a typical Icelandic SME. DNG develops and manufactures a highly sophisticated energy efficient fishing device that requires minimum maintenance in the demanding environment. It is programmable and has many different fishing methods in fixed memory.
"It is estimated that fuel usage and emissions from international shipping will more than double by 2020 within the European Union. Similarly, it is expected that SO 2 and NO x emissions from international shipping will increase by 40-50% by 2020, as compared to 2000, and even surpass the SO 2 and NO x emissions from land-based sources in the 27 EU member states combined."
Challenges ahead (somewhat like the LeaderSHIP 2015 recommendations) Secure the access to a skilled workforce to serve the maintenance and repair needs of the steel ship fleet. Improve education and training. Strengthen RDI for: – New fishing gear technologies – New environment friendly solutions – New innovative solutions for traditional shipyards and the fiberglass boat industry. Promote new and emerging ICT-based electro-mechanical industries and increase RDI for high tech equipment, systems and services for the global food industry. Strengthen clustering.

The prodigal daughter explains how being a chef helped her winemaking and how wild-boar ragú can save Tuscany's vineyards.
You were a chef before becoming a winemaker--what led you to that career?
My mother. She taught me everything I know, much more than culinary school. She's American--she arrived in Italy when she was 19. When she married her first husband, who was Florentine, her mother-in-law helped her learn about Florentine and Tuscan cuisine because she wanted her son to be happy, of course! My mother still cooks very traditional things, like pork liver wrapped in pig's intestines with pancetta. She fixes that for my dad because he loves liver. But anyway, I think I started making risotto for my mom when I was nine. She'd start it, then go off to entertain the guests, and I would stand at the stove, adding broth and stirring.
What's the craziest experience you had in a kitchen?
I was the only woman working in a Michelin-starred kitchen in Rome, at Acquolina back in 2007. I was in the middle of doing about 120 molten chocolate cakes when one of my friends came up and handed me a starfish--tiny, an inch wide--just for fun. I thought I had put it in my pocket, but when he came back a little later and asked me where it was, it was gone. We both looked at all those cakes and realized it had to be in one of them. I guess it ended up getting eaten--at least no one ever complained!
And yet you left to make wine at your family estate, Petroio. Why?
The winery was part of my life. I knew I'd end up here one day. Also, my dad couldn't keep taking care of it; his real career is as a neurologist, and he's quite famous. It was impossible to do both. So I came back to Tuscany.
What did being a chef teach you about making wine?
I cook and produce wine in exactly the same way. I start with the ingredient, which has to be the absolute best I can find. If I do a tomato sauce from my own garden, with nothing else but olive oil and basil I've grown, I'll knock people out of their chairs. If I use a so-so industrial tomato, I can do the most intricate, complicated tomato-gelatin dish there is, and they'll forget it before they're even done eating. Wine is the same. I have beautiful, healthy grapes here--those are my ingredients. And I know my wine works when it reminds the person who takes a sip specifically of the grape from that vintage.
What's your favorite food to pair with Chianti?
People often ask me why I like to match Chianti Classico with tomatoes, and I tell them it's because the two are a very traditional combination in Tuscany. I love to make panzanella, a peasant's dish; it's a summer salad with ripe tomatoes and stale bread. I add some very nice, crunchy croutons seasoned in olive oil, basil and garlic, which gives some richness. That would work fine with my Poggio al Mandorlo wine.
Restaurant kitchens and wineries can be male dominated. How much of a problem has machismo been for you in your career?
Italy's a very male-oriented society. Not as bad as it used to be, but women have had to fight for every single improvement by doing a good job and getting recognition for it. Here in Tuscany, for instance, an estate would be passed on to the daughter only if there was no other choice. That's changing; plus, there are more and more women going into viticulture and enology. At Petroio, my right-and left-arm is Ilaria Marcomini, who's been here since 2001. When I arrived she picked the books I studied and taught me chemistry. Out in the vineyards she'd show me what a specific sort of discoloration on a grape leaf might mean.
A lot of people are saying that Chianti Classico is on an upswing.
Absolutely! I have to phrase this in a way that won't get me hanged by my neighbors, but I do feel that Chianti Classico did everything in its power to butcher its reputation back in the '80s and '90s. You never knew what you were going to get in the glass--the wine could be modern or classic, round or tannic, diluted or powerful, you name it. The identity was gone. Now the best estates have gone back to what the land wants them to do. It's an incredible return to our origins and a very exciting time for Chianti.
I've heard that wild boar have become a big problem in Chianti.
Everywhere in Tuscany! We're being invaded by wildlife. The deer are especially annoying in the spring, when we're getting our first sprouts--they love to wander over and eat this beautiful, fresh, soft salad right off my vines. And the cinghiale--the wild boar--completely rip things up; they are very reckless and fierce. We lost a fifth of our crop to them this year. On the other hand, they taste great.
Maybe that's the solution to the boar problem: Eat them.
Exactly. My proposal is that the town of Siena create a wild-boar ragú--"Il Sugo di Siena." We can put it in beautiful jars and market it around the world. It's certainly a better idea than the one some genius came up with recently: bringing in wolves to get rid of the boars. Now we have wolves and boars.

I rather doubt thatthe hotel staff was outraged. Hotel staff get that kind of stuff all the time

that kind of journalistic 'licence' is the scourge of modern times....
it's incendiary and done deliberately to inflame people....sometimes that crap is usually done by the stars themselves.....to keep people talking about them......as the old saying goes.....any publicity is good publicity.....and it pays many a salary.... probably three quarters of the 'buzz' around NK in recent years has been people 'attaching her name'[without any proof of contract] in order to get their own projects talked about.... with everything that is said, probably only about 10% lies with the truth. |

jennifer lopez always insists on every place she stays at be painted completely white...white curtains etc etc. I guess she has the right to find the best means to show off her golden skin.
Quite possibly, the light-bulb change was to indicate a preference for a 'romantic' ambience....or at least for the world to know that one exists.... also, we know older women prefer low lighting - makes you seem younger.... in any case, I thought upper class etablishments had dimmers..........and what about candles!!!! best option.... |

Nicole is nothing more than a spoiled overgrown child. Why would you change all of the <a http:///www.1000bulbs.com[link ]Light Bulbs[/link] anyway? Give me a break Nicole!

Good day to all,
The demanding of a light bulb...please! Like everyone else except LB Z a simple request has been turned in to a demand. Colleen, I too demand lots of things from my hubby and he doesn't complain, only if a hockey game is on. I'm sure this again has been blown out of proportion...like always. A light bulbs causing name calling..go figure eh? LOL! Lots of xxoxox Tammy D. WB. Now asking for a room to be repainted, spend that money on the needy for god sakes eh? |
