Mount Eerie's second album of 2012 is on its way: Ocean Roar is out September 4 via P.W. Elverum And Sun. Now another meditative selection from the record is online, following the title track and "The Place Lives." Phil Elverum is drawing a lot of his inspiration from the tiny Washington town of Anacortes where he's built a recording studio. "I Walked Home Beholding" is a snapshot of an icy night wherein Elverum wanders the empty streets of the sleepy town, soaking in the atmosphere in a methodical way. You can practically smell the pine trees and the cold air as the guitars and organ bubble underneath his clear voice. Take a listen below.

A few days ago, one of my friends posted a virtual sign that read, "Out to Mardi Gras. Be back Ash Wednesday."
He wanted to let his friends know that he would soon be leaving town. His upcoming five-day trip would mark the first time in eight years that he wouldn't have access to cell phone, laptop, the Internet along with any and every form of social media.
I envy my friend's opportunity to disconnect.
Apparently, I'm not alone.
According to Travel & Leisure, hotels and resorts where guests can get away from technology are in high demand— no television in the rooms, no phones, no cell phone reception or Wi-Fi. The magazine predicts these "black-holes" will increase in popularity in the coming years, as more and more of us choose to unplug and take a break from the constant connectivity of our lives.
"The greatest luxury of the 21st century will be dropping off the grid. Black-hole resorts will be notable for the total absence of the Internet—even their walls will be impervious to wireless signals. Whether they're set on mountaintops, in quaint villages, or in sleek urban centers, black holes will become the pinnacle of the Slow Food, slow travel, slow-everything movement—the ultimate in getting away from it all, says Judith Kleine Holthaus, former head of projects at the London-based Future Foundation," as reported by Travel & Leisure in September 2011.
And it's no wonder.
Last week, the New York Times reported that, on average, Americans consume about 100,000 words a day from various media — that's up 350 percent from what we consumed in 1980.
I'm not convinced we weren't designed to take in this much information.
Calgon, anyone?
But this is where and how we live, so what's a girl to do? Traveling to or living in walls "impervious to wireless signals" sounds quite lovely,but it's not the reality we live in. How do we become less connected?
Maybe a partial solution is that we become more diligent about when we respond to texts, emails and even phone calls. Until the last decade, the vast majority of us weren't reachable by phone every minute of every day.
I realized the time had come to do something last week when my husband, two daughters and I went out for dinner on Valentine's evening to one of our favorite family restaurants. For the most part, we sat at the table and had lovely conversation and a wonderful meal. However, there was one point between the appetizers and the entre when my phone beeped or blipped. I couldn't resist the urge and picked it up to check. Within seconds, my 10-year-old daughter was the only one at the table not swishing around on a touch screen.
That's not OK.
Those people who constantly check their phone for emails and texts drive me a little batty, even though I know and love people who do just that. It's like they constantly prefer someone else's company.
However, I also remain hopeful because I know at least one LSU student who deliberately leaves her phone in her car or apartment when she's visiting with friends. She's a wise girl who is more focused than most on being where she is.
I won't lie. I enjoy technology. I like facebook. I appreciate staying connected to friends I don't get to see often. I like hearing their jokes and watching their babies grow up. Texting and emailing are convenient.
At dinner last week when I realized the Pandora's Box picking up my cell phone had opened, I ditched it quickly and encouraged the rest of my family to do the same.
I worry my daughters' generation is missing out on knowing how to be in the here and now, but I trust the issue will work itself out.
Virtual black holes may be part of the answer.
As the fortune cookie I cracked open at the end of our Valentine's meal read, "It is now, and in this world, that we must live."

LSS: How do I love thee?
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach.
Liz didn't get finite when it came to her love.
Nope, Elizabeth Barrett Browning went all out. To the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach.
This week I considered that line in a way I hadn't before. When I was younger, I focused on the measurement aspect of the poem — the depth and breadth and height.
But in Browning's world, the measurements mean nothing if the soul can't reach them.
A soul's reaching, as it turns out, is more about the person in question rather than his or her partner.
A soul's reaching is not only about being loved by others. It's about being loved enough by one's self that doing what's in the best interest of the soul's reaching eventually comes naturally.
When I was younger, I thought I understood love better than most. Boy, did I believe I knew love. Back then, I focused on the "depth and breadth and height" of my love. It consumed me. It was exhausting.
And, of course, it didn't last.
I eventually realized that the convulsions of the relationship weren't healthy. While even the healthiest relationships require lots of work (and patience), relationships that require too much compromise from one partner or the other are bound for failure — even when the couple stays together, the relationship may be far from a success. Most often, the signs of a healthy versus an unhealthy relationship are evident early on in relationships.
But in the thick of a relationship, being objective doesn't come easy, does it?
I have no interest in raining on the parade of Valentine's celebration of love or young love, in general. I'm not even trying to suggest that young love rarely works. Sometimes it does.
While love is worth celebrating any and every day, this is the week to commemorate love — young, old and in between.
These days I focus more on the latter half of Browning's take on counting her love — the "my soul can reach" part of the love equation.
I've come to believe that the key to a healthy relationship is about both souls having the permission and encouragement from each other to reach as near or far as either has interest in reaching. The best kind of love isn't about turning one person into what another person wants. The best kind of love is about all-out being exactly who you are.
LSS: In search of…
We have a giant armoire in our living room. We bought it years ago, and the people who sold it to us told us it was from France. It's probably the only piece of furniture we own that could be considered beautiful, with stained glass windows in the upper cabinet doors. It's old, really old. It came with the original skeleton key to unlock the drawers, upper and lower cabinet doors. I tied a lovely tassel on the key and stuck it in one of the locks. We moved the key from lock to lock as we needed. We used to put special things in this cabinet — photographs, important school papers, small keepsakes (and other ephemera). In one of the cabinets, we kept the limited bottles of alcohol that came into our home.
Our system worked fine.
Until several years ago.
And I'm embarrassed to admit just how many years ago it was, but I'm going for it.
Our system worked fine until about six years ago.
You see, our then 4-year-old daughter thought the aforementioned lovely tassel and key were too much to resist. She had played with it since she could walk. There had never been a problem. I didn't think it could become an issue.
I was wrong.
One day, and we don't know exactly when, said child took said key with said tassel and placed it somewhere unknown.
We have searched high and low for that key. Every time there's a lull in our lives, one of us will say, "I wonder where that key to that cabinet is." And we'll take turns suggesting remote places a 4-year-old girl could put a key with a tassel. We even get excited from time to time and are certain we'll have just the spot. We'll run and look. But to date, we've found nothing.
At this point, we think we know what's inside the cabinet. But the truth is, we don't. Whatever else is on the inside at this point is a mystery to us.
It's kind of like a time capsule.
So now, we call it the time-oire.
We've tried every skeleton key we've been able to get our hands on. Nothing works. We've taken turns, alongside friends and family, trying to pick it. Whoever made these locks were serious about keeping the contents of the cabinet safe.
Fortunately, the drawers happened to be unlocked when the time-oire's key went missing. So, we've had access to all the school papers in the six years since.
Of course, we know we could hire a locksmith and get the time-oire open. Or we could carefully move the very large time-oire and take the back off to at least get to the items inside, if not unlatch the locks.
But as of yet, we haven't done either of those options.
It's kind of convenient actually. Anything that goes missing has an automatic alibi. "I bet it's in the time-oire," one or the other of us will say. In fact, we've said that hundreds of times through the years.
Now there's no way all the stuff that we've speculated on could possibly fit in the time-oire, but there's always the possibility that whatever it is we're looking for is locked up safe and sound. We keep thinking that key will turn up somewhere. After all, where could a 4 year old put a key on a giant tassel?
But as of yet, we've got nothing.
Yes, eventually, somehow or some way, we will open the time-oire. I just keep thinking we will find that key. In the meantime, I believe each member of our family secretly appreciates at least one arcane aspect of our lives. Having a little mystery is healthy. If we were Nancy Drew or Scooby-Doo, we could call it The Strange Case of the Giant Cabinet.
At this point, I realize the risk of over-selling the contents of the cabinet to my children. I still remember Geraldo Rivera and Al Capone's vaults.
Long Story Short columns appear Sundays. Should you happen to know the whereabouts of the aforementioned skeleton key hanging on a large green tassel, please email Jan at firstname.lastname@example.com.

uploaded image files need different file permissions
Not sure if this is a setting somewhere in PhotoPost, but I need to change the file permissions that are placed on all uploaded image files. Currently they are being set to 755 and I need them to be 664. Is there somewhere within PhotoPost that this can be changed? :confused: Thanks! Chuck |
Actually our program does not set them to 755 so that must be a server thing for you.
In image-inc.php they are set to 666 @chmod ($dst_file, 0666); Note this is attempted since not all servers prevent chmod and I would assume on yours there are being set to server default of 755 by the server. In most cases where user's files are not set to 666 they are then defaulted to 644 |
Thanks for the quick reply!
I will get it sorted on the server :cool: Best Wishes, Chuck |
No Problem
Yeah I have seen on certain servers hosts will make it so that all files set to a default of 755 no matter what it is |

Come stay with us and experience
the magnificent Marlborough Sounds
the magnificent Marlborough Sounds
Looking out over the calm, clear waters of Endeavour Inlet, Furneaux Lodge is the first stop on the renowned Queen Charlotte Track. Built in the early 1900's at the foot of it's namesake Mount Furneaux, and surrounded by 2000 acres of New Zealand native forest, Furneaux Lodge is set on 3 acres of the flattest and most picturesque scenery in the Marlborough Sounds which has been unchanged since Captain Cook's first visit to the inlet in 1769.
Part of the beauty of this historic destination is the isolation - no roads lead to Furneaux Lodge. Here, the pace is easy and the atmosphere comfortable and relaxed. Explore the inlet kayaking, swimming, mountain biking and walking, or spend the day fishing, diving and dolphin watching.
Furneaux Lodge offers a range of accommodation depending on your requirements. We offer luxury suites, as well as self-catering chalets and backpacker-style hikers cabins. Whether you are joining us for one night off the track, or are staying for a week, we have an option to suit everyone. In combination with our award winning restaurant, the lodge is the premier wedding venue in the Sounds and a popular location for conferences.
Everyone is talking about Marlborough.

I need to show that the limit of the sequence,
is e-1. What's sad is I have the solution in front of me and I can't understand the simple algebra.
The second factor on the left, how did they get that?
One "n" in the denominator of the left factor was taken inside the brackets.
and the rest follows.
Do you understand how the first term and common ratio of the geometric series,
were placed into the formula for summing the series ?
I think I misread your question a little.
It is of course a "series", rather than a sequence.

It's an indication of just how dry it is in the Brazos Valley. There were at least 3 separate grass fires Sunday afternoon.
The worst was in Grimes County at Stoneham where a trash fire got out of control and burned 20 acres which came very close to a home. Grimes County Commissioners will meet Monday to consider a burn ban, joining Brazos and Robertson Counties. Another Grimes County fire at Richards Sunday burned 4 acres.
Meanwhile, Brazos County Pct. 3 volunteer firefighters don't know what caused a grass fire off Harvey Weedon Road on Sunday. That fire got about 30 feet from a home. Some residents say they heard fireworks in the neighborhood earlier in the day.
Dry Conditions Prompt Grimes County Burn Ban

I <33 Zero 7. Thay make truely beautiful music. Bringing all the cultures of the world together to make divine music.
Muhammad Ali |
Tobias Feldballe Petersen
The part of the song that goes: "From the root to the fruit, thats where everything stops" is from a speech in the documentary about Muhammad Ali. Its a great speech.. You should all see it, and if anybody has it, please post the part with the speech on youtube, i keep searching for it..
Ndebele / Zulu |
Reviewer: Zulu Ntombi
They are singing in Ndebele / Zulu (South African languages) which are dialects like German/Austrian. Likufanele means it's suits you. It's such a beautiful song.
They say "lizwana...likufanele". Which means to communicate nicely with one another and understand what each person is saying because we are the same and it's more suitable for us. It suits you, it suits us.
Anonymous | 10/20/2008 shows just how important language is. We may say or hear different things but in essence they are the same, no matter the language. Which is why music is so beautiful and our greatest gift.
translation to the choir |
Reviewer: Anonymous
from my point of view, likufanele represents the greatness of life itself. our responsability with our surroundings. i think they are singing in spanish what sounds like "con mis hermanos, hermanas" which means "with my brothers, with my sisters, likufanele"
Liku fane le |
we get up in the morning feeling tired, sometimes we feel good, sometimes bad, but we go through it with feeling. we go through and through, thats the way everything´s done, what do you think its about? dont stop.
my only guess, love the trippy flavour, it makes me want to scream out the top of my loungs with 50 other people unplugged backed up by huge amps to make it sound like this.
Lyrics to Likufanele |
In the firelight your eyes are stars of summer in the firelight your eyes are stars of summer in September in your eyes harvest moon in the firelight your eyes are stars of summer. In your light lies soft as gold of summer in your light lies soft as gold of summer in September in your eyes harvest moon in your light lies soft as summer gold. There's a pilot waving past the rain as I'm sliding down the passages of your brain. In the firelight your eyes are stars of summer in the firelight your eyes are stars of summer in September in your eyes harvest moon in the firelight your eyes are summer's stars. There's a pilot waving past the rain as I'm sliding down the passages of your brain
Peace, Love, and Music,
A musical drug |
If you've had a rough day just close the door and put this on - turn your bass on high! Imagine yourself riding slowly through Serengeti National Park in the most luxurious Range Rover...aaahh!

Reviewer: sadass who has nuthin better to do
it's like you are in a dream. especially if you sit in the dark and let the music flow around you. the background singers sound tribal and makes you feel you in the country it sounds like. Fabulous. i just love it!
Likufanele |
Reviewer: Arial
If ever there was a song that you wanted for the soundtrack of your life this is it. Imagine this tune following your every move, just like in an arty 1950's movie. How smooth life would be.
Jazz, art, life.

Kick back and enjoy this blast from the past. Advertisement You'd be forgiven for thinking that dear old Jeremy Clarkson limits himself to nothing but twelve episodes of Top Gear a year and then just loafs about the rest of the time because why not. In reality, he actually spends his days hosting other programs for British television that most Americans never see. Well, that, and insulting every other European he can find.In the 1990s Clarkson made a show called Meet the Neighbours, where he elucidated every single stereotype he could find about an individual country, and then set out in a very natty Jaguar E-type to prove it. Because Clarkson is nothing but Clarkson, he manages to confirm most of his beliefs. In Belgium, which he feels is very boring, he comes upon:- A pipe smoking competition Advertisement - A bird song counting competition- An exhilarating game of cow patty bingo, except it's not bingo because bingo hasn't made it to Belgium yet but I'm sure it will someday soon, I promise Advertisement Sponsored In the Netherlands, he does a bunch of drugs, and then finds the one Dutchman that just hates everything.It's rapturous to watch.

Between them, the student outfits produced an afternoon of very enjoyable, open and attack-minded rugby for those fortunate enough to be present.
Following six group games of a very high standard, where newcomers IT Carlow and particularly NUI Maynooth competed well, UCD overcame Queen's in the first semi-final.
Trinity saw off a very game UCC in the second semi-final where Jack Fitzgerald of Trinity, who bagged six tries during the course of the tournament, was particularly prominent.
In the final UCD, guided by second row Hugo Mays and centre Chris Best, overcame a Mick McCarthy-led Dublin University for a hard-fought 13-7 win.
Queen's got the better of hosts UCC in a high-scoring 3rd-4th place play-off tie which ended 24-17 in favour of the Belfast team.
Gerry Kelly, President of the Irish Universities Rugby Union, presented the Conroy Cup to the winning UCD captain Liam Burke. He thanked Gary Byrne and his team in UCC for all their efforts in successfully hosting this season's competition.
The Conroy Cup commemorates the memory of the late Paddy Conroy, former Honorary Secretary and President of UCD RFC and a life-long supporter of University rugby in Ireland.
The Irish Universities Rugby Union is the representative organisation of University rugby union clubs in Ireland. Member clubs include UCD, DUFC, UCC, QUB and NUIG.
The Irish Universities Rugby Union organises the following competitions annually in the following grades:

Candidate forum, State Senate, 3rd District
State Senate candidates Sen. Tom Holland and Republican Rep. Anthony Brown spoke at a Oct. 15 candidate forum sponsored by the local Voter Education Coalition at the Douglas County Courthouse. Each candidate was allowed a one-minute opening statement and a two-minute closing statement and were told in correspondence before the forum that candidates shouldn't raise any new issues in their closing statements to which their opponents wouldn't have a opportunity to respond. Questions for the forum were prepared in advance by VEC partners and taken from the live audience at the event. The VEC is a non-partisan organization made up of about 18 community groups that seeks to promote civil dialogue and broad participation of citizens and candidates through community forums.
